Wood in the bathroom? Three finishes for a warmer, more inviting space

Eros is a collection in which Cannettato Polymer is one of the most distinctive features, together with the countertop and the handle grip integrated into the door. The design remains essential, yet changes considerably depending on the finish selected and the way the surface responds to light.
This becomes particularly evident with the wood finishes. Ambra, Sabbia and Ebano bring three different shades to the collection, each with its own character: Sabbia is lighter and more delicate, Ambra warmer, and Ebano more intense. The cannetted surface enhances these differences, following the grain and creating variations that change according to the viewing angle. The result is a collection that uses wood not simply as a finish, but as an integral part of the design, capable of changing the tone of the composition and its relationship with countertops, wall coverings and surrounding materials.

The return of wood to the bathroom

One of the most interesting trends reshaping bathroom interiors is the growing preference for materials and finishes that convey a sense of naturalness and wellbeing. Wood is once again taking a leading role in contemporary interior design, bringing a renewed sense of warmth, natural appeal and materiality into the home.
No longer associated exclusively with classic or rustic interiors, wood is increasingly used in more essential, modern settings. Combined with stone, marble, ceramic, lacquered surfaces and metals, it offers a wide range of possibilities, from lighter, more natural palettes to deeper, more contrasting combinations. Using similar wood tones and finishes in other areas of the home can also create continuity between the bathroom and the rest of the interior. This trend increasingly extends to the bathroom, which is no longer considered purely functional, but as a space dedicated to wellbeing, in keeping with the style and atmosphere of the rest of the home.

Ambra, Sabbia and Ebano

The choice of finish has a direct influence on the way the furniture sits within its surroundings. With Ambra, Sabbia and Ebano, Eros offers three interpretations of wood that can be selected in relation to the light, wall coverings and materials chosen for the countertop.
Ambra is the warmest of the three. Its rich, enveloping shade recalls light woods with subtle golden tones, bringing an immediate sense of warmth to the composition. It pairs naturally with beige and earthy shades, light marbles and mineral surfaces, creating a soft, welcoming palette.
Sabbia is the lightest and brightest option. Its more delicate shade gives the furniture a softer presence and works particularly well in interiors based on warm whites, neutrals and pale stone. It is an ideal choice for keeping the bathroom bright and airy, allowing the wood grain to remain visible without weighing down the overall composition.
Ebano is the deepest and most intense of the three. Its dark shade gives the composition greater presence and creates a strong contrast with light countertops and wall coverings. Paired with darker marbles, metals or saturated colours, it creates a richer, more sophisticated result, making the furniture one of the defining elements of the interior.

Three possibilities that enhance the cannetted design of Eros and allow the presence of wood within the project to be calibrated, ranging from lighter and more delicate interpretations to warmer or more decisive solutions.

Wood in the bathroom: a few things to keep in mind

The use of wood in the bathroom often raises questions about humidity and everyday use. In reality, with materials suitable for this environment and a few simple precautions, wood can be used without compromising practicality. The most important consideration is to prevent water and condensation from remaining on surfaces for long periods, wiping away any droplets and ensuring that the bathroom is properly ventilated.
Cleaning also requires only a few simple precautions: soft cloths and neutral detergents are preferable, while aggressive or abrasive products should be avoided. These simple measures help preserve the colour and surface over time and are particularly important in a room exposed daily to steam, water and changes in humidity.
In the case of Eros, the choice of Cannettato Polymer combines the character of wood with a surface designed for everyday bathroom use, retaining the grain pattern and vertical detailing that distinguish the collection.

Eros and the character of Cannettato Polymer

One of the defining elements of Eros is Cannettato Polymer, a finish featuring a regular sequence of vertical reliefs. The surface changes according to the light and viewing angle, while maintaining a continuous pattern across the entire front. With the wood finishes, the cannetted texture follows the grain and changes the way it is perceived, highlighting different nuances between the raised and recessed sections.
Ambra, Sabbia and Ebano reveal this detailing in three different ways: Sabbia creates a more subtle contrast between the raised and recessed areas, Ambra emphasises the vertical rhythm with its warmer shade, while Ebano creates more pronounced areas of shadow. Alongside its aesthetic qualities, pressed polymer offers practical advantages: it is compact, stable, resistant to humidity and easy to maintain. Smooth and cannetted doors can be alternated within the same base unit, while the countertop, 45-degree cut and integrated handle grip complete the Eros design.
