Even if the new trend towards using wallpaper in the bathroom won’t take over from tiles completely, wallpaper undoubtedly brings a very fashionable element to bathroom planning, which otherwise tends to take a long-term view. Because whereas the choice of tiles could well accompany an entire generation of bathroom users, wallpaper comes with the option of replacing it more easily.
The strictly geometric circle is conquering the bathroom: no other element has influenced its design so much in recent years as the arc. From 45 to 360 degrees, anything goes – as long as it’s minimalist.
Jens J. Wischmann, managing director of the German Bathroom Sector Association (Vereinigung Deutsche Sanitärwirtschaft e.V. [VDS]), on growth markets, trends in bathroom design and Inside | Outside, the Pop up my Bathroom motto for the ISH digital 2021.
Pop up my Bathroom, the information platform for creative bathroom planning, architecture and design, is kicking off the next bathroom season: for the ISH digital 2021, the communication campaign of the German Bathroom Sector Association (Vereinigung Deutsche Sanitärwirtschaft e.V. [VDS]) and Messe Frankfurt is shining a spotlight on the latest trends in bathroom design.

The VDS trend forum Pop up my Bathroom at the world-leading ISH fair in Frankfurt turns colour into a talking point for the industry.

At the ISH, the world’s leading fair for the sanitary industry that takes place in Frankfurt from 11 to 15.03, experts from a wide range of disciplines will come together to discuss the key issues facing the industry. Located in the midst of the inspiring Colour Selection exhibition at the Pop up my Bathroom trend platform in the Europa Hall (4.0), the lecture forum is an informative hotspot.
