Today, the decoration of bathrooms, without which no home can do, has more stringent requirements.
We will not hide that every little thing is important in the formation of such a design. Particular attention must be paid to the selection of finishing materials and plumbing. In this article we will present some recommendations of specialists who, we hope, will help to create a modern bathroom in the house.
Decoration Materials
Bathroom decoration is designed to perform various functions. It should protect surfaces from high humidity and temperature extremes, and be as practical as possible. However, it should be recognized that we all expect not only practicality and functionality from the design of the floor, walls and ceiling in the bathroom. Although this is undoubtedly of great importance.
No less important is the aesthetics of the bathroom decoration, the originality of textured and color solutions, the combination of various materials.
Color scheme
One of the most popular ways of combining decorative materials of different colors in the bathroom is a combination of dark and light surfaces. Contrast design helps not only to emphasize the geometry of the room, but also brings dynamism to the interior. Against a dark background, the white plumbing looks impressive and attractive.
There is another way that does not lose relevance today - the combination of finishing materials. This is a combination of neutral colors with bright. This will help to achieve with the help of bright mosaics and light ceramic tiles. Equally popular is the combination of textured tiles, which imitates a concrete wall or masonry with products with a thematic pattern, a bright print, and possibly photo printing.
Today, increasingly use a stretch ceiling for the bathroom. This choice is justified: it looks very worthy, not afraid of moisture. In addition, manufacturers today offer a huge assortment of stretch linens that differ in color, texture, and technical characteristics. Therefore, you can easily choose the material for any interior.
Interior highlight - unusual plumbing
The main part of the bathroom area is occupied by plumbing - a shower or bathtub, toilet bowl and sink. One of the simplest, and at the same time very effective options for creating a stylish and original interior is the acquisition of unusual models of plumbing. It can be a shape or color, which themselves will become the highlight of a beautiful bathroom.
In this case, additional original accessories may not be required. Each self-respecting plumbing manufacturer has a special line of unusual models of sinks and bathtubs, hanging (cantilever) bidets and toilets, compact or spacious hydroboxes.
The choice of original plumbing largely depends on the size of the bathroom, the needs of the family and, of course, the financial capabilities of the owners. Hanging models of sinks, bidets and toilets not only save precious space in small bathrooms, but also bring modern styling to the interior.
Bathroom Furniture
Even the smallest bathroom cannot have storage systems. Often this is not only a traditional cabinet under the sink or a hanging cabinet with a mirror above it. The following bathroom furniture can be recommended depending on the size of the room.
Embedded systems
They always look very impressive, quite roomy and allow you to save the area of the bathroom. It can be shelves with open shelves or cabinets with facades. It must be remembered that the materials from which the furniture is made must be saturated with antiseptics that prevent the formation and development of fungal infections.
Open shelves
For the manufacture of small, but roomy shelves, natural wood is used. As if an unfinished or artificially aged surface is ideal for a modern bathroom. Helps to achieve originality of the interior are shelves made of wooden or metal elements fixed to the ceiling in several tiers.
Mobile systems
These include a variety of baskets, wooden or wicker containers, trays on which are placed bath accessories. Even one such original detail can bring the warmth of home comfort to a simple bathroom interior.
Small shelves on wheels have mobility. Two or three tiers of shelves make the design roomy, easy to use and very attractive in appearance. To organize not only comfortable, but also very convenient, relaxing and pleasant adoption of water procedures, it is necessary to equip the bathroom with a small board. Its width should be slightly wider than the bath. During the rest, you can put candles on it, put a book, a glass of juice or an aroma lamp.
Fancy plumbing accessories
Perhaps today it’s unlikely that anyone will be surprised by the sheen of chrome bathroom accessories. Depending on the chosen style solution in the design of the room, you can choose antique watering cans and taps (brass, copper, patina coatings) or stylish ceramic accessories in black or white.
Black plumbing accessories look very strong, perfectly fitting into the interior of the bathroom in the style of contemporary and high-tech. The contrast of dark and light tones helps to emphasize important functional elements, creates contrast dynamics in the interior.
Decorative elements
Most often, the design of the bathroom looks pretty strict. This is especially true for very small rooms. As a rule, to visually increase the space, they are finished in bright colors. So that the walls covered with light tiles are not associated with the sterility of the operating room, it is necessary to use bathroom accessories, original details that will attract the eye.
You can use a beautiful shell, starfish, an unusual indoor plant that loves high humidity. Alternatively, hand-painted liquid soap vessels can be used.
Original hangers and holders
Beautiful bathrooms, as a rule, have original minor details, for example, unusual holders and hangers for bathrobes, towels and other bath accessories. Small stairs used as hangers look interesting in the interior. The advantage of such a simple device is its mobility - you can not drill walls lined with ceramic or stone tiles. On the crossbars of such a ladder-holder, you can hang not only textiles, but also place containers for various trifles.
Lighting system
Lighting devices are important for any room. It is hard to imagine a beautiful bathroom without them. They are no less important than the right choice of plumbing or accessories. Even in a very small room, one ceiling lamp is not enough.
It is advisable to use spotlights in several places on the ceiling or strip lights around the perimeter. It is necessary to create good illumination above the sink, in the mirror area. In a very small bathroom, the lighting system, in addition to its main function, visually expands the space.
If the height of the bathroom allows, do not give up hanging lamps. They can become a spectacular decorative element. An original chandelier and two pendant lamps will bring creativity to the interior of a beautiful bathroom and will become its accents.
Candles, of course, are not elements of the lighting system, but they can undoubtedly be used as a decorative element. It makes no sense to say that it is candles that create a special, relaxing atmosphere that will allow you to slowly take water treatments in a beautiful bathroom.
