The bathroom is a room where you can relax and lie down. Therefore, the palette of the bathroom should not be cold, but warm and welcoming.I believe that the bathroom will soon take over from the living room. Geza Hansen, designerTo the editor-in-chief of etk-fashion.com Oksana Kashenko, who happened to be in Germany for the Cologne Furniture Fair, managed to talk to Geza Hansen. Read below what they talked about.— Geza, what shade will be your favorite in the new one?season for your clients? — The Pantone Color Institute has declared “rose quartz” the shade of the season. All the shades that I chose for the bathroom collection this season are diluted, watery. This way they get closer to the idea of water, and water is the bathroom. Blue, of course, fits especially organically into the concept. — And what about your favorite color, what is it? — I really love working with blue. When you use it on textured tiles, you get the feeling of the texture of water. Gray adds depth, and it is not an empty shade - you can play with tones due to it. In France, for example, it is customary to work more boldly with colors, and I tried to apply this practice in Germany. — What can you say about the interior design of the guest bathroom? How bold can the color palette be in it? — Guest bathrooms are usually made more restrained. — Is there a gender gradation of color? — I think so. For example, gray shades of the bathroom are more suitable for thinking women and business ladies. Although gold is also damn good. - Do you have plans for the future?
