The bathroom is another area through which we can express ourselves. By playing with the colour palette, the size of the tiles, the patterns, the textures and the different elements of the room, we can achieve the style we are looking for. In this article we will give you some modern bathroom ideas for an elegant and sober style.
Here are some tips for an elegant modern bathroom:
1. Use neutral tones
To begin with, use a neutral colour palette on the walls and floor to maintain the sobriety of the environment. For instance, shades such as taupe, grey, white, black or navy blue inspire the elegance we are looking for.
2. Dominance of large tiles or smooth walls
Secondly, for the walls, choose wide tiles with natural patterns and textures or opt for plain walls with a little texture. In other words, aim for simplicity in design.
3. Small tiles just for specific places
However, although it is best to avoid small tiles, you can use them in a small area of the bathroom such as a part of your shower wall, toilet or sink. Above all, be careful not to overuse them.
4. Add colour in the small details
Fourthly, use small items like decorative objects to add a little touch of colour. For example, you can choose a soap dispenser or a vase in blue or orange to add a splash of colour. In addition, it is always a good idea to add plants, as they bring life to the bathroom but do not break the harmony of tones.
5. Use materials in harmony
When it comes to materials, there has to be a balance. Glass, ceramics and acrylic will help you achieve that elegant and pure look, while wood, stone and wicker will bring that warm touch to the room.
6. Touches of black even in dark spaces
As for the fittings, go for black. Although it may seem a bit risky, it can even look good with predominantly dark walls. However, for it to work, you will have to leave a spotlight to provide light. For example, you can leave a wall in light grey or white. Also, don’t forget to use the same colour and finish for the taps, shower and flush plate.
7. Opt for retro-illuminated elements
Finally, mirrors are always a good idea to give depth to the bathroom, especially retro-illuminated mirrors as they will bring a more subtle illumination to the room.
