Duravit is championing the bathroom as a place of relaxation and wellbeing, with brand ambassador and professional tennis player Marta Kostyuk highlighting the importance of creating spaces that support rest and recovery.
As homes increasingly become places of refuge from busy lifestyles, the bathroom is evolving beyond its functional role into a dedicated space for regeneration. According to Duravit, thoughtful design can help create an environment that promotes both physical and mental wellbeing.
Kostyuk, who spends much of the year travelling between tournaments and training, said recovery is essential to maintaining peak performance.
“We push ourselves every day – physically and mentally,” she said. “So, it’s important for us to take care of ourselves, slow down and take time out to unwind and recharge. That’s the only way we can keep performing at top level on a lasting basis.”
Drawing on her experience of hotels around the world, Kostyuk said carefully designed bathrooms often have the greatest impact on creating a sense of calm.
“The bathroom is one of the most important rooms of all,” she added. “It’s often the little details such as good lighting, a pleasant atmosphere or a refreshing shower that make all the difference. They shape the feeling that emanates from the room.”
Duravit said many of the design principles found in premium hospitality settings can be translated into residential projects, helping homeowners create private retreats that support everyday wellbeing.
The manufacturer points to its Collection One Design by Studio F. A. Porsche as an example of this approach. The collection combines clean architectural lines, balanced proportions and premium materials with soft contours and understated colour palettes to create a timeless bathroom aesthetic designed to encourage relaxation and slow the pace of everyday life.
By combining functionality with considered design, Duravit believes the bathroom can become an integral part of a home focused on comfort, wellbeing and everyday recovery.
