Popular style directions

Due to the fact that modern finishing materials are a huge choice, plus the use of the latest developments, it became possible to design bathroom in different styles, even those with natural materials. The latter are not always resistant to drops humidity and temperatures that are constantly present in this room, therefore they are replaced with artificial analogs that imitate naturalness (naturalness).

For example, plastic panels imitating wood are very popular today. This means that it is possible to make a ceiling in the form of a board finish. Wherein plastic panels - 100% moisture resistant material, plus it is not afraid of temperature extremes. That is, approaching the cladding of the bathroom, today you can solve a wide range of tasks in this way.

Concerning style directions, then in 2019 almost all styles are popular, from classics to art deco. Therefore, we will consider each style of the bathroom.

If there is a desire to make a beautiful bathroom, then you need to arrange it correctly and choose the design style

Classic

A rational and practical approach to space, grace and beauty, elegance combined with luxury - all this is the classic style. No matter what new style directions appear, no matter what new materials are used in the interior of bathrooms, that designers have not come up with in recent years, the classics remain out of fashion. Tradition has always been in demand, and even new materials and technologies have transformed the classic style. She adjusted to them, but never cheated on herself.

From the outside, the classic style is an elegant wrapper with a high degree of practicality of the interior, where a special place is given to the functionality of the room. Neutral tones, pleasing to the eye, separated texture, classic arrangement furniture and sanitary ware with a high degree of ergonomics are all classics.

In a classic bathroom, you will never find flashy shades or rough cladding, there is no place for modern gadgets or accessories in the modern style. Luxurious comfort reigns here.

Classic luxury comfort

Of course, modern trends also influence the classics. For example, you can install a bathtub of an unusual shape or a non-standard color in a room, if you fit it correctly into the space. But most often it is a traditional plumbing fixture, often on carved legs, of white color, which is not striking, does not stand out for its pretentiousness. As for the location, there are no restrictions here. And although in city apartments there is a place for this device against the wall, which is already a classic urban interior due to the small room area, then in private houses where bathrooms are large, the bath is often installed across the wall or in the center of the room.

In this case, the decoration of the device is either not done at all, or it is covered on all sides with ceramic tiles chosen to match wall decoration... And if the floors in the room are planks, then the snow-white bath installed in the center looks royally luxurious.

The second most important plumbing fixture - sink... Modern bathroom design is the installation of two sinks. Of course, not in all city apartments this arrangement option can be used, but in private houses, taking into account the modern ideas of the 2019 bathroom interior (photo below), two bowls are not just an original approach, it is an increase in the functionality of the room. By the way, the cost of purchasing and installing two sinks quickly pays off in terms of convenience and functionality. And if a large enough family lives in the house, then this option will be a good solution to the problem of morning water procedures.

It should be added that the sinks do not have to be in line. Both devices located opposite each other bring a kind of symmetry into the interior. The main requirement for such an arrangement is that the distance between the plumbing fixtures is sufficient so that two people can freely fit on it. To do this, you will have to purchase a separate monolithic tabletop... There is another original option - this is when the bathtub is located between two sinks.

Loft

Designers often call this style direction attic or warehouse. That is, the furnishings should emphasize rough wall cladding without frills and beautiful clear lines. Therefore, the main finishing material that is used in loft, – brick... But the style itself is an open plan, a lot of free space, high ceilings etc. Of course, it is not easy to create such a style in city apartments, but many designers, using certain accessories, wall, floor and ceiling decoration, achieve a purely visual expansion of the space.

And, as the experience of designers shows, it is the accessories that emphasize the fullness of the bathroom with the style direction of this type.For example, old-fashioned showers with a wide shower head, pipes installed outside and covered with black paint. That is, picking up the elements of the loft, you can try to organize such a design in the city.

In this regard, in a private house there are more opportunities to bring your plans to life, especially if you move the bathroom to the basement. This is where you can turn on your imagination and play with all the possible accessories.

But it must be added that they launched their tentacles into this style modern finishing materials... That is, brick as a basis is not always in the first place. They can decorate a part of the wall, emphasizing the style filling, but the rest of the surfaces are tiled with ceramic tiles, which should be the same size. bricks... Below in the photo is just such a bathroom design with tiled walls.

Wall decoration with white tiles to match the size of the brick

Retro

Many people think that life was easier before, so they often feel nostalgic for times gone by. This prompted some designers to create interiors in a retro style. It would seem that this is not the easiest option, but in practice it turned out that this style direction does not require large investments. A little imagination, and the style of the bathroom is ready.

The design is based on things that fall under the name - old-fashioned. This mainly concerns furniture and plumbing fixtures. So, the furniture should be massive, made of wood with worn surfaces and chips at the corners. The same goes for accessories, only they can be not only wooden, but also ceramic and metal.

Wall decoration is very important, in which ceramic tiles are rarely used. Paint or wallpaper, sometimes plain mosaic. But the base is accessories. For example, antique lamps, mirrors, bedside tables, antique faucets, copper pipes and fittings communications. Take a look at the pictures below and you will immediately understand the distinctive features of the retro style.

Art Deco

This style is over 100 years old, but its popularity has not diminished. Someone may say that it is somewhat reminiscent of the classics, and they will be right, because art deco is a style of luxury. But it has its own distinctive feature - it is the presence of regular geometric shapes that are connected to each other into an object of art.

If we argue from the standpoint of the general composition, then it is absent as such. The entire space is divided into zones where various objects are collected. And these zones turn the premises either into a museum exposition, or into a dressing room in a theater. And yet, art deco must be given its due, because despite the seeming chaos, it has a system, its own characteristic features, namely:

general symmetry;
contrast;
color palette - monochrome.

Designers even add some retro elements to this style. But the color scheme of the bathroom should be in black and white, gray blotches are allowed. Therefore, the main material for finishing the bathroom is staggered ceramic tiles. Of course, today, in an age of a changing world, other shades have begun to be introduced into the art deco style, but they should not stand out too much.

And another distinctive feature of the Art Deco style is reflective surfaces and shine. Therefore, metal, glass, glossy surfaces, mirrors in large quantities - these are the accessories that emphasize this style filling.

Lighting in the bathroom: features and photos

It would seem that there can be no problems with lighting in the bathroom, because this is just a small room. But practice shows that it is light that often fails, pushing into the background the entire style of the conceived interior. Therefore, it is important to comply with certain rules and requirements in which you need to combine lighting with other decorative elements:

color scheme;
zoning;
level arrangement of light sources;
a clear selection of the lamps themselves, combined with the style in the bathroom;
the size of the room.

An expert's point of view

Yaroslava Galayko

Lead Designer and Head of Ecologica Interiors Studio

“To be able to visually change the bathroom space is to create conditions under which lighting will not put pressure on the stylistic component of the interior. If you cannot do this on your own, then there is only one way - to transfer the creation of a design project to a professional. "

And one more important point - it is necessary to resolve the issue of lighting before the start of the repair, because everything will be tied to the exact wiring, removing the ends for lamps, sockets and switches... That is why very often repairs in the bathroom are made on a turnkey basis, that is, from creating a project to laying the last finishing material with the installation of plumbing and furniture (the photo below is a few variations on this topic).

You can talk about lighting in the bathroom for a long time, considering different positions that are associated with the style filling of the room. Therefore, it is better to look at several photographs defining different concepts.

Bathroom furniture: photo and video

When the task is to choose furniture for the bathroom, the designers recommend choosing it for the soul. This is the only way to transform even the most small space to a place where it will always be pleasant to be. Of course, the style purpose of the furniture must be taken into account. But here, too, the choice must be made so that it suits your preferences.

Do not forget that furniture should be functional and practical. Although in this regard, all manufacturers pay attention to these two criteria when setting up production.

And a few tips:

If the bathroom is a small room, then you should not clutter it up. Therefore, it is better to install a washbasin with a cabinet or flat type, under which fits washing machine.
Hanging cabinets in such a room are the best option.
A small pencil case will also be a good solution.
But if the bathroom is large, then no recommendations are needed.

Bathroom finishing materials

As mentioned above, the bathroom requires moisture-resistant and durable finishing materials. Therefore, ceramic tiles and plastic panels are ideal today. The latter are used not only for finishing ceilings, but also for walls.

Decorating the bathroom with plastic panels: design photo

Renovation in the bathroom PVC panels (photo below) - this is primarily an economical repair, because today you will not find a facing material cheaper. And this is one of the advantages of the panels. Let's add to the advantages:

a huge assortment in terms of design;
sufficiently high reliability;
practicality of cladding - PVC panels can be cleaned with any liquid detergent;
long term operation;
one hundred percent moisture resistance;
ease of installation.

Of the shortcomings, it can be noted that the strength is not very high, especially the plastic does not withstand the blows from which it cracks. Not all PVC panels can easily withstand temperature extremes. Although the temperature regime in the bathroom is not a problem for them.

Therefore, we will not further deal with the tiles, we will simply give the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful design of the bathrooms in the apartment in the proposed selection of photos.

Design of bathrooms combined with a toilet: photo and video

A combined bathroom is not uncommon in typical houses. But the approach to the repair and design of this room should be exactly the same as to the bathroom. Just another plumbing fixture appears in the room - toilet... In all other respects, and this purpose, lighting, choice of style direction, is identical. Therefore, there is no need to consider the criteria for repairing a bathroom and toilet (photos are presented below). Just take everything that was said above as a basis and transfer it to the bathroom.

A very large number of people still live in small apartmentswhere the bathroom area does not exceed 7 m². But even in it, designers manage to create interiors in terms of their functional and aesthetic qualities, no worse than in large rooms. Fortunately, today there are all conditions for this in terms of finishing materials, plumbing and furniture.

Here, different styles are also used, for which a bath, decoration, mixers and other attributes. And although they often don't talk about furniture in such rooms, the designers still manage to install it there. The main thing is to carry out the planning correctly.

For example, a photo of a bathroom design with an area of 4 sq. m.

How to design a bathroom thought out to the smallest detail: methods and photos

Of course, it is impossible to think over everything to the smallest detail in the bathroom design. But it is worth paying attention to 10 main mistakes that negate all the effort and money spent. This mainly applies to small rooms, because large bathrooms are an opportunity to make even the most gross mistakes that will not be visible or will not be conspicuous.

So the first mistake is planning. Usually, in small rooms, the bathtub is installed along one of the walls. If a decision is made to install a washing machine here, then it is better to give preference to a shower stall, removing the bath. Although there is a mounting option washing machines under the sink, then there will be no room for a cabinet where you can put towels and household plumbing accessories. That is, in any case, you have to choose.
The second mistake is the wrong color scheme. You cannot use too dark colors in these rooms, this is the prerogative of large rooms. A small area or niche can be darkened, but it should be just a tiny part, not a whole wall.

Bathtub covered with a beautiful curtain

The third mistake is the lack of protection from water. Today, such a fashionable trend is present. But this is just a fashion that will pass. And splashes, smudges and other troubles associated with water must be protected somehow. The easiest option is to hang a moisture-proof curtain on the rod. It can be matched to the color of the walls, so there is no problem.
Mistake number four - slippery floor. Be sure to choose floor type tiles. He has a human foot on the package. This material is usually matte rather than glossy. The latter can only be used for wall cladding.
The fifth mistake is lighting. This has already been said, but we repeat, you cannot save on brightness in the bathroom. The brighter they burn fixtures, all the better. And you can save on zoning.

Towel holders are a must in the bathroom

And the rest of the errors:

there must be a rug on the floor near the sink;
no wallpaper even washable;
a towel holder must be in the bathroom either in the form of hooks, or in the form of a bar, or in the form dryers;
even in small bathrooms, compact sinks cannot be installed, this device must be functional;
finishing with tiles, installing plumbing is not all that is required in the bathroom, be sure to choose a style, install accessories, because this is a full-fledged room.
