The Dream Bathroom of Bertrand Lejoly

When he set out to design a signature bathroom, Bertrand Lejoly’s goal was to convey a feeling of warmth, coziness, and intimacy. “I wanted to use warm materials and accessories to avoid the sterile and cold atmosphere that is sometimes found in bathrooms”. He therefore embraced the trend of designing the bathroom as a warm place of retreat that combines an open room design with intimate elements, and where the materials harmonize perfectly with the desaturated moss-green wall color.

Balanced Floor Plan

To successfully balance an open and inviting bathroom on the one hand with an intimate place of retreat on the other, Bertrand Lejoly deployed an unconventional subdivision of the double washbasin.

“I wanted to create a direct link to the bedroom, which is why it was important to strike the right balance between openness and a seamless transition between the two areas. At the same time, this creates a harmonious symmetry and optimally uses the available space.”

Despite the open bathroom design, Bertrand Lejoly’s plan includes some intimate spaces for retreat. The shower and toilet are located behind two doors that provide the necessary privacy.

Reserved style

Bertrand Lejoly selected his own D-Neo bathroom range for the interior equipment and reinterpreted it for the new ambience: “D-Neo is subtle – and never dominant. At the same time, the range does not shrink into the background, but rather emphasizes the individual accents of the interior”.

The Versatility of D-Neo

Combined with warm and soft materials, the complete bathroom range D-Neo acts like a screen that can project any personality into the room. This flexibility allows the freedom for something unique and timeless to be created.

During the design process he opted for a minimalistic approach with light, open vanity units where the most important products are stored within easy reach. The tall cabinets and the bathtub underpin the clear visual lines.

Sink area and storage

In addition to the pared-down washing-area solutions, Bertrand Lejoly opted for two tall cabinets in which all other products and textiles are stored behind closed doors. This retains the lightness of the bathroom without compromising on storage.

The bathtub

At the heart of the bathroom is the freestanding bathtub of the D-Neo series. This bathtub impresses with its compact dimensions and velvety soft cast-mineral surface.

Materials and details

Choice of Materials and Details

When selecting the materials, Bertrand Lejoly opted for dark wood and black faucets. “Green plays a central role in the room and subtly complements the materials, giving the whole room a consistent feel,” he added. This sets the bathroom apart from the more reserved colors used in the other rooms to create a genuine place of retreat.

The shower and shower-toilet are placed behind doors. When closed, the doors give the impression of a storage wall that harmoniously rounds off the overall picture of the bathroom.

The shower-toilet

With its flat, sleek design, the SensoWash® D-Neo slots effortlessly into the overall concept and offers appealing shower-toilet comfort.

The shower cabinet

The shower is also located behind a door. The showerhead ensures a feel-good shower experience, while the concealed shower mixer blends into the visual lines of the design.

Matching accessories

Details that make day-to-day life easier are often overlooked. For that reason, Bertrand Lejoly opted for towel hooks from the Starck T range in matching black. Hand and bath towels can be placed directly next to the washbasin and on the way into the shower.
