A bathroom in an apartment does not belong to residential premises, however, with professional design with carefully thought-out design, it can become just a room filled with an atmosphere of luxury and comfort.
The basic principles of creating a design interior in the bathroom
In order for the interior of the bathroom to be distinguished by convenience, uniqueness and comfort, it is necessary to take into account the main points of design and equipment.
High quality finishing materials
High humidity in bathrooms obliges, when choosing any of the bases, to pay special attention to its quality. Preference is given to Italian, Spanish and individual representatives of Russian manufacturers of materials.
Finish options
Bathrooms in apartments, lined with the same tiles from floor to ceiling, are long gone. Today, bathroom design is the use of contrasting combinations of marble and porcelain stoneware of different sizes, emphasizing the zoning of the room with the help of ceramic mosaics, active decoration of individual walls of the space with moisture-resistant paint, wallpaper and plaster, the use of wooden elements in the decoration.
The combination of several types of materials gives the apartment space volume and sophistication.
Modern plumbing
Nowadays, hardware manufacturers offer limitless design options for decorating bathrooms in apartments in various styles. Suspended and built-in systems look spectacular, save space and allow you to keep the bathroom in perfect cleanliness.
The functionality of a smart home has not bypassed the sanitary facilities: built-in lighting, motion sensors, automatic air fresheners and ionizers, self-cleaning, heating, water pressure control, smart air conditioning and ventilation systems.
The appearance of the products is also diverse: laconic minimalism, futuristic lines or an ideal classical form are a matter of individual preferences, but always components of the luxurious interior of your bathroom.
Spacious bathroom design
The area of the bathroom is more than 10 squares allows you to create a unique and luxurious interior in it.
Materials used
Marble and granite will create an excellent spatial effect. Large-sized details are most appropriate here. They allow you to feel the movement of the pattern most fully.
Mosaic as a finishing material is used, as a rule, in the design of shower rooms or in separate decorative areas.
The spacious dimensions of the room allow you to expressively arrange its zoning with the help of contrasts in decoration, directional light or glass partitions, slatted structures, textile curtains.
The ceiling covering is also diverse. Stucco and moldings, coffered and tension structures, wood paneling – it all depends on individual design preferences and the chosen interior style.
Plumbing
The lack of space savings also affects the choice of sizes and design of sanitary ware. Get elegant sinks made of glass and natural stone, free-standing fonts or a built-in bathtub with a hydromassage function, a spacious shower cabin, a bidet, a hygienic and shower rack, stylish faucets and an original heated towel rail.
Plumbing items have a special effect if they act as a single indivisible composition, complementing and emphasizing the beauty and elegance of each other.
Furniture
In addition to the standard cabinet for storing bathroom accessories, the author’s spacious interior can be supplemented with:
- designer chair, which will be very useful for relaxing after taking a bath or shower
- a small table that allows you to leave a phone, a book, a glass of water on it during spa treatments
- a spacious cabinet for storing towels, bathrobes, shampoos, toothpastes and other things, which can be equipped, for example, with a refrigerator for creams, serums and other cosmetics
- a chest of drawers with a compartment for storing a hair dryer, massagers, razors and other health and beauty products
- cabinet with a chic countertop for a wall-mounted sink-bowl
However, no matter how spacious the bathroom is, remember that the functionality of the pieces of furniture is more important than their quantity.
Lighting
Multifunctional light in the bathroom is a must. With a sufficient ceiling height, a multi-tiered chandelier located in the center of the room or above the font looks chic.
Additional light in the form of wall sconces and suspended pendants is convenient in everyday life and does not require constant use of central lighting. Decorate the bath located on the podium with the help of hidden lighting at the base of the pedestal. Provide a place near the bowl to place candles or other sources of subdued light during spa treatments, which will help create the necessary atmosphere of relaxation.
Do not forget about the presence of built-in or directional lights located near the mirror.
Textile
Textiles in interior design envelop spaces with comfort and sophistication.
If there is a window in the bathroom, we recommend using curtains to decorate it. They give a special softness to the interior.
Choose bath towels and bathrobes based on the color scheme of the bathroom or neutral shades.
Decor and accessories
Filling the space with decorative details plays a special role in interior design, as with their help the specialized plumbing room of the apartment becomes a bathroom.
Place several mirrors of various sizes in the interior, decorated in accordance with the chosen design style. This will allow family members not to interfere with each other in the morning and evening toilet.
Replace the riot of colorful bottles of detergents and care products with dispensers from one stylish collection. In choosing different hooks, stands and holders, also stick to a single style.
Equipping various organizers of cabinet furniture will allow you to easily maintain exemplary order in the apartment.
If the conditions of detention allow, supplement the space with living plants or decorate a phyto-wall. This will bring the atmosphere of a real spa to the bathroom.
