The experts at Villeroy & Boch and Chesters reveal the latest trends in bathroom and kitchen design.
What sets Villeroy & Boch apart?
Villeroy & Boch have been pioneers in design, material selection and manufacturing since 1748, with family members still active in the company today. The craftsmanship of ceramic sanitaryware, tiles and tableware has been perfected over generations.
What elements make Villeroy & Boch a must-have for achieving a spa-like ambience?
The bathroom sanctuary is very important in a world that’s embracing ‘JOMO’ – the joy of missing out. Villeroy & Boch’s many award-winning designers – from a Sex Pistols’ album cover, to luxury goods, furniture, and kitchen appliances – mean that the products not only look good but will have great form and function for years, setting your sanctuary apart.
How can Villeroy & Boch help turn small bathrooms into spaces of stylish indulgence?
Compact basins and toilets save space but still have high design and function. Wall-hung toilets help declutter a room visually, too. Modern tapware ranges have options that are ultra sleek, but still serviceable and reliable.
What are the essential Villeroy & Boch products?
The novel Antao Collection of basins and toilets draws inspiration from nature with organic, soothing curves. Deep, comfortable Quaryl baths enable you to relax, luxuriate and de-stress.
Tell us about Villeroy & Boch’s commitment to sustainability
Villeroy & Boch’s factories adopted new technologies early, allowing for energy reductions of 90% in the moulding process, without compromising on quality. They also work closely with organisations like EcoVadis and EMAS, which conduct the strictest environmental reviews.
What are the latest trends Villeroy & Boch has introduced?
The world is full of colour – as are Villeroy & Boch products! A kitchen must bring several disparate elements together – like refrigeration, cooking, preparation, and entertaining – so it needs to be efficient and durable. Kitchen taps like the Villeroy & Boch Modern Steel mixer blends robust performance with a high-end stainless-steel body, available in gun metal and matte black.
What should homeowners consider when embarking on a transformative journey with Chesters and Villeroy & Boch?
For best results, consider factors such as your project’s goals and how it will be used. Additionally, remember as people age, things like grab bars become more important and can be incorporated to ensure an integrated, coherent look. The Chesters team can help with this.
How does Villeroy & Boch encapsulate timeless glamour, and what are Chesters’ tips to integrate these classics into modern spaces?
From Vincent van Gogh painting his friend Eugene Boch in 1888, to having an exclusive tile range installed on the Titanic, and early tableware designs for the 1930s Bauhaus movement, Villeroy & Boch has a rich history on the world stage.
