How to decorate a modern bathroom?

Design issues are very important in interior design. With the help of decor elements, the general mood of the room is achieved and its “image” is completed. No wonder they say that everything consists of trifles.

The decoration of a small room should be restrained and embodied in the beauty of flowing lines and clean shapes.

So how can you decorate a bathroom? Below we will consider the main nuances of style, design and design:

1. Candles are a great way to decorate a bathroom, regardless of its size. In a large bathroom, thick candles in massive candlesticks look aesthetically pleasing. You can also use scented candles for relaxation therapy. This element of the interior allows you to get total pleasure!
2. Place the vases or their table variants on the floor, with flowers or fillers in the form of stones, bamboo, marine elements - they are all beautiful. Such an element of decor will give the bathroom a complete look.
3. Introduce solar cells, music, SPA benches.
4. Do not forget about decorating with paintings and photos.
5. A mirror of any shape and size will become a practical solution, as well as create the feeling of a high ceiling. Mirrored and shiny materials will enliven the interior of the bathroom in a modern style. Consider in advance the installation location of the mirror surface.
6. Indoor plants will create a mini jungle or a cute garden in the bathroom. Place the pots on the floor, on a pedestal, or hang them on a wall.

Each element must be in its place - inaudible placement of decorative details can disrupt the harmony of the entire interior

Lighting

Bathroom lighting acts as a source of light and decoration in the interior, and is also able to visually increase the size of the room and the height of the ceiling.

In a modern bathroom, it is customary to use several light schemes - general, and lighting in separate areas

There are also different types of lamps:

• incandescent lamps;
• LED;
• halogen;
• luminescent.

Safety and savings are why LED lamps are so relevant. As a decoration, we suggest using LED strip. It will serve as a real highlight. Minus: high price.

Secrets of installing light sources in the bathroom:

1. Light distribution. If there are many light sources, reduce their power.
2. Zoning rooms for competent lighting.
3. To avoid glare, place the lamps at an angle relative to reflective surfaces.
4. Do not install light above the mirror so as not to distort the reflection. Place the lights on the sides.
5. An interesting solution in a modern interior is lighting in the form of ceramic tiles with a pre-installed lighting fixture.
6. LED strip is installed around the perimeter of the room, under the bath.
7. The output of lighting on different lines will make it possible not to use all light sources at the same time.
8. Hinged structures for the ceiling in a modern interior will allow not only to introduce light elements, but also to give a beautiful appearance to the room.

A glass door allows daylight into the bathroom and makes the room more spacious.

Use smart solutions and create comfort!

Furniture in the bathroom

Choose furniture not only on the basis of beauty, but also on practicality. We recommend purchasing furniture and bathroom materials in trusted stores.

Compact models are a priority

Furniture Selection Rules:

• Measure the room to determine the size of the furniture. Each manufacturer has its own standards.
• Choose furniture with high-quality fittings.
• Give preference to furniture on legs (make it easier for yourself to clean).
• Not very deep corner cabinets, cabinets and pencil cases - will be the perfect solution in a modern interior.

For furniture, the optimal combination of quality, functionality and spaciousness is important.

Finishing materials for the bathroom

Before starting work in the bathroom, it is important to take a responsible approach to the choice of materials for decoration. Below we will consider the options that the market offers today:

1. Ceramic tiles are a popular material for wall and floor decoration. It is environmentally friendly, safe for health, durable, moisture resistant and does not require complicated care. At the same time, the tile has a relatively low price.
2. Mosaic. A wonderful solution for the original interior walls. Not cheap, but spectacular.
3. Decorative plaster. Budget and beautiful.
4. Plastic panels. They are distinguished by ease of installation, ease of maintenance, but unaesthetic. Plastic materials are subject to fire.
5. Paint. Economy option for walls. Combining colors, you can achieve an interesting solution in a modern style. Important! Paint must be moisture resistant.
6. Marble. Refined and reliable, but expensive! This is a luxurious option if the budget allows such expenses.
7. Wallpaper. Budget and impractical for decoration. Moisture-resistant acrylic and vinyl materials exist, but their service life will not exceed a couple of years.
