Glamorous or matte bathroom?

The interior of the bathroom, like all other rooms in the house, reflects the soul of its owner. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to decide on specific solutions. First of all, we need to answer the question: do we prefer naturalness and simplicity that promote calm, or do we want the bathroom to resemble an exclusive bathing salon where we will feel like real stars, at least for a moment? What to do if we like calm tones, but we also like the glamorous style?

If we value naturalness and harmony, we will certainly feel good in an interior decorated in the colors of nature. The calm and harmonious decor will promote peace and relaxation. We will achieve a natural arrangement based on delicate beiges or browns, which will create a calm, relaxing atmosphere in the bathroom. Furniture with simple shapes, preferably without handles, will work great in a room arranged in this way. We can hide towels, cosmetics, chemical products and even a washing machine in them. The role of decoration in such a bathroom can be taken over by functional equipment elements - simple, metal towel hangers, a radiator, or bathroom fittings, which are currently available in many colors: from shiny chrome to matte brass, and even white or graphite.

Gray is also peaceful

In modern arrangements, gray is increasingly entering the rooms, replacing the ubiquitous beige. However, be careful that the shade you choose is not too dark. Light shades of gray combine very well with pastels: mint, powder pink or tea orange. Based on this color palette, we will obtain a cozy interior that creates an optimistic mood. However, if we decide to use earthy colors and raw natural materials in our bathroom, such as stone, linen or wood, we will achieve the effect of classic elegance. Gray is a neutral color, so it will be a perfect background for any accessories, and each change will allow us to quickly change the character of the interior.

Inspired by nature

An interesting option for those who want their bathroom to be an oasis of relaxation is an ecological style arrangement. The main role in such an interior will be played by colors, natural furniture and accessories, and plants. An eco-style bathroom should be associated with closeness to nature, which is why it must include traditional materials: wood, stone, cotton. The floor may consist of appropriately impregnated boards made of exotic wood, supplemented with a rug made of pure wool or a mat made of natural rubber. The natural styling will be complemented by light bamboo or wicker cabinets and plants, both live and in the form of patterns on the tiles. - Matte fittings with a satin finish will go well with an interior with soft, neutral colors and simple lines - says Joanna Gręda, marketing manager of Oras. - A big advantage of modern fittings is that they save water, which will certainly be of key importance for people who care about ecology - he adds.

Glamorous bathroom

Glamor style is a proposition for everyone who loves sophisticated interiors. Glamor means rich forms, shine and, above all, elegance. However, it is worth treating it quite modernly and trying to play with colors, textures and accessories. Glamor is not only about spacious interiors and expensive finishes. A bathroom inspired by the glamorous style can be arranged even in a small space, by choosing the right colors and accessories, without spending a fortune on its equipment.

A glamorous bathroom loves two colors: royal gold and elegant black. Colors that will add style to our interior include navy blue, saturated and bold purple, red or dark green. Darker wall colors will enhance the shine of accessories, and a glamorous bathroom must have gold or silver accessories. Glossy and metallic accents should be well exposed, which is best achieved by tiles with a clear texture. However, if we prefer a uniform glaze, choose high-gloss models. The refined style of the interior will be emphasized by chrome-plated, silver-shining washbasin and shower fittings. Cabinets and shelves with glossy fronts in a simple, modern form can be kept in one color or covered with a rich pattern, but they cannot conflict with the glaze. Plain furniture will work great with decorative tiles, and those with a decorative motif should be combined with single-colored tiles.

Choosing accessories in this style is not easy. They are the accent that dots the "i". They should emphasize the effect achieved with furniture and tiles. A simple ceiling lamp can be replaced by an elaborate chandelier or a mirror with a decorative frame. Unconventional items, e.g. soap dishes, caskets - gold-plated, made of dark wood or glass and crystal.

An interior decorated in a glamorous aesthetic can be complemented by accessories referring to the world of show business and film: rugs imitating a red carpet, a photo wallpaper with a movie star on the wall. All details should, of course, be shiny. - People who want to create a bathroom that resembles a bathing salon like in a Hollywood villa should choose chrome fittings. It adds shine to the room, reflects light and gives the impression of space - says Joanna Gręda.

Eclecticism is still in fashion

What to do if we can't decide? Let's experiment! You can add strong accents to a bathroom decorated with simple and natural colors. We then break the raw textures and cool colors with strong colors of accessories - soap dishes, cosmetic containers or towels. In a sparse interior, lighting can also play a role of decoration - not necessarily traditional lighting, but also modern lighting using LED strips. On the other hand, the glamor style does not have to be heavy, black, crystal or rich. This type of arrangement can also be achieved based on calm, light glaze colors and large and expressive patterns. The unique character is then emphasized by a refined detail - a stylized table or armchair.
