Decoration Materials

A bathroom connected with the elements of water requires protection of the surfaces of the ceiling, floor, and mainly walls.

Inside the bathroom, ceramic tile panels are the best choice for wall decoration.

Large-format sparkling ceramic tiles provide an ideal coating for walls and floors, a light marbled pattern brings a note of tenderness and sophistication to the interior of a luxurious classic-style bathroom

To make a good choice of ceramic tiles, you should first decide on the place of its placement. The poor location of the highest quality and most expensive tiles can give the impression of a cheap and poor-quality coating.

Ceramic tile is a material that never goes out of fashion, has excellent performance properties - strength and durability, relatively simple installation. But so that the bathroom does not disappoint its owners, care must be taken not to damage the tiles due to poor installation and not to spoil the finish.

Current trends

Currently, interior designers use tiles of various colors and textures to highlight one of the walls, the zone of the shower or washbasin.

Tiled flooring and one of the walls varies in format, color and texture. With the help of contrast, the problem of zoning and interior decoration is solved

Combinations of tiles of various colors and textures are relevant as never before. An interesting option for large and well-lit rooms is a shiny finish with notes of metallic colors.

Another fashionable technique is the use of inserts of various formats and layouts (horizontal, vertical, diagonal). This technique helps create an unusual interior design.

Inserts in the form of marble stripes decorate the entrance to the hydrobox and serve as original frames for mirrors

When choosing a tile for a bathroom, one should pay attention not only to its external advantages, but also to the material from which it is made.

Ceramics and porcelain are traditional and relatively economical materials.

Tempered glass and porcelain stoneware are innovative materials, the glossy texture of which will give the room charm and charm. The glass and porcelain tile is not porous, therefore it does not absorb moisture, is constantly maintained in good condition and is easy to clean. Porcelain tile can be used not only to cover the walls, but also the floor. One of the advantages of tiles is a huge selection of natural colors and textures.

Porcelain stoneware floor tiles are combined in tone with walls, ceilings and bathroom equipment

Water-repellent wallpapers created using new technologies allow them to be used in rooms with high humidity - in kitchens and bathrooms. Their biggest advantage is decorativeness. You can pick up and apply any pattern to the surface that will enliven the monochrome surface.

Ceramic tiles, large or small format, of various shapes - rectangular, square, polygonal, are traditionally used to cover the floor. An economical option is laminate, more costly - marble tiles are luxurious. An interesting option is a wooden flooring, which gives warmth and a sense of presence in the sauna.

Bath or hydrobox?

In a limited space, the question may arise between choosing a bathroom and a shower. If saving footage is not the sharpest, then a combination of both becomes an interesting solution.

(54 areas of the bathroom and shower are successfully distributed in the bathroom. Effectively used the unusual configuration of the room to free up a large amount of free space)

Each object has its own purpose. The bathtub is suitable for long relaxation, and the shower is for quick use. In the eastern tradition, a bath with aromatic herbs and essential oils should be taken only after preliminary cleansing of the body in the shower.

The bathroom and shower are rationally integrated into a relatively small room

If the bathroom is located in the bedroom, then all its components are selected taking into account the limited space, this room also respects compositional unity - the tabletop to the dressing table, plumbing and furniture are selected in the tone of marble or ceramic tile.

The bathroom and the bedroom make up a compositional unity in color, illumination system, pieces of furniture and decoration

The use of showers is an effective means of saving square meters.

In a small room, the choice is made in favor of the hydrobox

Combining a classic bathroom with a shower is not an easy task, but there are several tricks to help solve this problem.

Booth shape

The first thing to consider is the form of the hydrobox. Square, rectangular and semicircular bases are used. Square ones are most often used in sizes of sides from 60 cm to 100 cm. Rectangular and semicircular allow you to design the space of a room more dynamically.

The square base of the hydrobox makes it possible to comfortably take a shower, rationally distribute all other interior items in the room

Doors of modern shower stalls can have a different design - to open traditionally swinging outward or inward, to move apart, to fold. There are options without a door (walk-in design).

The glass door of the hydrobox is swinging open. Thanks to the spacious room, this opening method does not create any inconvenience

Materials for pallets

Acrylic. The most common material with several advantages: high strength, good thermal conductivity, shiny surface. This material retains its original appearance for a long time, creates a pleasant tactile sensation. The usual small height of the acrylic tray makes it easy to enter and exit the shower.

Composite Consists of stone chips soldered using high quality resins. In its strength and durability is not inferior to a solid stone coating.

Ceramics. A material that never goes out of fashion thanks to its practicality and visual appeal. The disadvantage is sensitivity to rough mechanical impact, as a result of which chips and scratches can appear.

Stainless steel. The performance of the material is very high. Relative disadvantage - too noisy under the influence of water jets.

Screens and partitions

Not a single shower cabin does not do without protection against streams of pouring water. A traditional bath curtain is suitable for this purpose, but the elegance of the panels and transparent or frosted tempered glass make them more cosmopolitan, fashionable and relevant. Glazing can be designed uniquely, thanks to the pattern applied to it.

Glazed panels protect the bathroom from water flows from the hydrobox and at the same time give the impression of a spacious and well-lit space

Tastefully selected bath curtains will help to easily and effectively change the appearance of the room, make it ultra-modern, vintage, ethnic.

Bathroom equipment

Bathtubs - One of the indispensable attributes of a room, unless, of course, a choice has been made in favor of replacing it with a hydrobox. In the classic design, the presence of the bath is mandatory, all the other elements of the room are built around it. The modern plumbing market offers a huge number of options that will help create an exclusive interior. Vintage bathtub shapes are in fashion in the form of a well, boat, bowl.

Modern forms are also elegant, despite the apparent simplicity, include regular or truncated geometry - drop, cone, rhombus, rectangle.

Beautiful teardrop-shaped bathtub is a fashion trend in sanitary ware design

Washbasins are selected taking into account the general style of the bathroom, which most often matches the color and texture of the walls. The classic version - sinks on a pedestal, which are used as an independent object, not included in the furniture set, countertop. They are distinguished by a wide variety of shapes (oval, rectangular, free configuration of the sink on the racks in the form of columns, a triangle, in the shape of a flower stem), are functional, save space, but give few opportunities for placing bathroom accessories.

The traditional classic washbasin on the counter in the form of a ribbed column saves the space of the bathroom, which visually seems large

For a modern bathroom in a classic style, traditional faience sinks are suitable, manufacturers more modern and stylish offer - sinks made of tempered glass or stone. Onyx or marble sinks look luxurious and exquisite.

Techno style is distinguished by the prevailing rectangular shapes of all the constituent elements of the bathroom design, including a washbasin decorated "under a stone"

Water fittings. Water fittings are the most important element in the design of a bathroom. Various forms, finishes, technologies and styles ensure the unity of function and design, make the design complete.

A traditional faience washbasin is functionally complemented by a marble countertop on brackets, which organically combine with metal fittings and taps of the plumbing system

Shiny chrome taps, shower hoses perform not only a direct function, but also act as spectacular decoration elements.

The metal elements of the water supply system are functional and exquisitely decorative.

Radiators For cold and wet rooms, it is important to use special radiators - towel dryers and bathrobes. They can be of various designs and designs - wall mounted, located in the form of consoles or folding.

Furniture

Furniture, in which washbasins are often integrated, may consist of stone elements (countertops), wooden elements (shelving, drawers and shelves) or MDF laminated or varnished, modern transparent acrylic.

In spacious rooms, in order to create a cozy atmosphere, it is appropriate to use various types of seats, for example, a leather armchair, a wooden chair or a bench.

Accessories and decor

You can change the style of the bathroom by modernizing important elements of the interior. We are talking about the bathroom and other plumbing, this is the first thing they pay attention to when entering the room. But also an important functional and decorative role is played by small details in the form of bath accessories - creams, soaps, brushes, combs, sponges, towels and napkins.

The decorative composition includes a decorative insert in the wall surface, panels, beautifully placed expensive toiletries and an artificial flower, which in appearance is almost indistinguishable from a living plant

Although lovers of minimalism may want to hide such accessories behind the facades of shelves and shelves.

Open shelving facades and closed drawers allow you to organize storage of bath accessories with maximum convenience

The charm and personality of the bathroom add detail. Decorative elements include wall panels in frames, artificial or living indoor plants.

Illuminations

To create a stylish bathroom, you should take care of its good lighting. Twilight is not the best decoration for the room, in addition, it visually reduces the space, so the best option is a combination of artificial and natural lighting.

The combined illumination system includes natural and artificial light sources, the intensity of which is enhanced and beautifully refracted from the surfaces of mirrors and glazed furniture facades

Of course, not everyone is the happy owner of a window in the bathroom, but if there is one, then you need to use it to the maximum. Penetrating sunlight makes the interior light, warm and dynamic.

Large windows in the bathroom provide free flow of natural light and allow the use of artificial lighting as an additional element of decor

For artificial lighting, you should choose the central (ceiling or wall) location of the intense radiation source, for example, white halogen lamps.

The halogen lamps in the bathroom lighting combined with the white finish of the ceiling and walls create a feeling of transparency and volume. Reception of contrast with a dark floor covering makes the light brighter and more intense

Mirrors

Mirrors play an important role in the interior of a bathroom. In addition to their direct function, they perform tasks to visually increase the space, and also participate as an element of light design.Ultra-modern options are smart mirrors that serve as a kind of monitor that displays data, for example, about the weather, or allows you to adjust the temperature and lighting of the bathroom. Modern mirror surfaces are made using LED-backlight (white or color) or classic lamps with glass shades. Mirrors can have any shape - from strictly geometric to amorphous futuristic.

A classic large mirror with a strict geometric shape emphasizes the elegant style of the bathroom interior

Color spectrum

Cleanliness, freshness, relaxation in the evenings and the awakening of energy in the morning are feelings that arise in a properly designed bathroom.

White is perfect, but its elegance is strict and cold.

The interior of the bathroom in white colors does not give the impression of “strict sterility and coldness” due to the floor covering in the warm color of dry earth

A more individual, intimate space can be created through experiments with chromatic tones, which in their own way affect perception and generate the desired mood. So that the dominant color does not tire, you should "dilute" it with other tones, but do not forget about the rule - do not use more than 3 colors in one room.

The coldness of the white interior and the rigor of the rectangular shapes are mitigated by accessories in red tones that give the space brightness, energy and dynamism

A good option is to play light and dark shades of the same color. Fans of aesthetics Feng Shui choose mainly pastel colors (pink, green, blue) or neutral (cream, yellow, ocher).

The bathroom in pastel brown and cream tones has a calming and relaxing effect, the perfect combination for a classic style room

Blue - a soft color in which either the walls or the ceiling can be decorated, evokes a sense of calm and lightness.

Baby blue trim harmoniously with white or beige furniture and the same bathroom

Brown - a color that goes well with beige tones, is associated with nature and the elements of the earth. This range is suitable for an elegant men's bathroom, symbolizing timelessness and moderation. Choosing a brown tone for decoration, you should listen to the opinion of designers who advise to avoid chocolate shades that darken the room.

Accessories or, for example, a mirror frame, can be executed in purple or orange tones, bringing a sense of joyful energy.

The inclusion of plum color elements in the interior (furniture upholstery, towels, wallpaper, veins on ceramic tile panels) makes the room feminine and glamorous. This tone warms the space, introduces notes of romanticism into it. Plumbing and furniture should be white.

The bath is the wettest room in the house, so you should take care of a good ventilation system to maintain a healthy atmosphere for the person and the long-term functioning of all objects in the room. If the bathroom has a window, then open it as often as possible in order to ventilate and dry the room.

The design of the window in the English style makes it easy to raise and lower the frame and leave the necessary clearance for ventilating the room

A beautiful bathroom is sensitive to mess and carelessness, which can nullify all the efforts of the designer.

Perfect order and cleanliness is the key not only to the health of the bathroom user, but also to the constant perfection of its style
