How to decorate a bathroom: 5 stylish solutions

The bathroom is a special philosophy and atmosphere. That is why bathroom renovation requires close attention. After all, it is necessary not only to think over a convenient layout, hide the risers and place plumbing in a limited space, but also to choose comfortable and stylish furniture, tiles and other decorative elements. Anna Gorlina, an expert of the OBI hypermarket chain for renovation and summer cottages, spoke about ready-made solutions for bathroom renovation, reflecting the latest design trends that are easy to repeat at home.

Vintage romance shabby chic

The combination of floral patterns and white tiles with the texture of aged planks made of natural wood will appeal to fans of vintage shabby chic style. Classic furniture, textile curtains and even a chandelier will successfully fit into the bathroom space. To create a romantic atmosphere and complete relaxation, you can provide a small niche-shelf along the bathroom for scented candles and various little things for a shower.

To store towels and other accessories, it is not necessary to buy a separate cabinet; instead, during the renovation, you can erect a built-in rack from drywall and trim it with tiles. With this design, it is easy to hide sewer pipes or disguise an inconvenient ledge, turning it into a functional and beautiful decorative element.

Stylish geometry in shades of Japanese plum blossom

One of the latest trends, which has been widely featured in prestigious European tile exhibitions, is geometric patterns. You can add unusual facets to your bathroom interior with a 3D print. For example, use decors with three-dimensional triangles in white and contrasting plum to highlight the washroom and shower areas, and the washbasin niche can be tiled with bubble-pattern tiles from the same collection.

If you are not a fan of prints, then you can create a geometric pattern from a single-color tile in the form of hexagons. “Honeycombs” look very impressive both on the floor and in the wall decoration and immediately set the tone for the entire interior. It is not necessary to use this finish throughout the bathroom, it is enough to make one accent wall from hexagons of different shades.

Play with the texture and size of the honeycomb, and you can create a unique interior in a variety of styles. In the new collections there are small and large-format options that imitate the surface of a stone, wood, or with a pattern. If you are in doubt and cannot immediately imagine how this or that combination of tiles will be perceived in a real room, be sure to look before buying how different collections look in realistic showrooms with ready-made bathroom interiors in our hypermarkets.

The combination of white glossy surfaces with tiles imitating the texture of natural wood is one of the hottest trends in bathroom design. This is the perfect solution for those who prefer clean, minimalist interiors without unnecessary details. The countertop washbasin and the tall mixer are located on the countertop, finished with wood-effect floor tiles, and there are horizontal and vertical niches with shelves for storage. To visually expand the space, mirrors can be installed in niches.

As an accent in this interior, tiles with a wooden texture were used, but they were laid out in two different ways: the classic layout was used on the tabletop, and the herringbone on the floor. Thanks to this simple technique, it seems that you have used two different types of tiles, and the interior does not look too monotonous.

Tile with a patchwork pattern, reminiscent of the patterns on patchwork quilts, are now at their peak. In the bathroom, it can be used to add stylish accents, for example, used to decorate niches or highlight areas, but such an active pattern looks especially good on the floor.

A very modern patchwork floor will look framed by walls decorated with plain tiles. To support the dynamic pattern on the floor, one wall can be decorated with a glossy version of the popular hog tile, but laid out in an unusual way, such as a herringbone. Thanks to the chamfer and glossy finish, a three-dimensional pattern will appear. In a small wall, you can hide the LED backlighting, which favorably emphasizes the unusual relief on the white wall.

Sunny mood in a small bathroom

Small bathrooms are often decorated with light tiles to make them visually spacious, but often such solutions look too boring. Bright and saturated colors in the decoration of small rooms can expand the space as well as white walls. This season, the combination of juicy shades of lime and lemon is especially relevant, which will help you wake up quickly and cheer you up.

Bright bathrooms always look very impressive, but with this fashion trend, you need to be careful and choose the shades that you really like. You must be sure that you will not get bored of the color scheme over time, because renovating the bathroom is a laborious process, and you are unlikely to want to change the finish in a year or even two.

Another headache for all owners of small bathrooms is where to hide the washing machine. Designers offer a simple and elegant solution – a special niche that protects the surface of your washing machine from moisture, dirt and debris.
