Ideas for an Original Bathroom

Who doesn't know these words from the famous movie "Irony of Fate or With a Light Breeze"? What picture comes to mind? Naturally, the bathroom. The typical Soviet-era small one with no room to turn around, with a flowered fabric curtain. These amenities were given to all citizens of the former Soviet Union and became part of its legacy.

But when it comes to re-planning, most homeowners face a catastrophic lack of space. In such cases, design ideas come to the rescue, capable of transforming our small gray bathroom into a rather decent room.

For example, the so-called corner bathroom takes up little space but, thanks to ergonomic design, fulfills its main functions and is quite convenient in a small room.

Among the colors for bathroom decoration, all shades of blue lead: azure, turquoise, and pure blue. Combined with white, they create a sense of freshness and the illusion of seawater.

For those who don't like relaxing among aromatic bubbles, designers can offer another way to expand the bathroom space — a shower cabin. It frees up several square meters of the room and gives a refreshing feeling of taking a shower. This option suits dynamic people, those who exercise regularly, and individuals who cannot take baths due to health reasons.

If you have enough square meters, the discussion will turn to a large, comfortable bathroom with the same checked curtain or without it. Moments of relaxation to favorite music in aromatic foam or sea salt, playful rubber ducks, children's laughter, splashes, rose petals with a light scent, and burning candles.

In this case, the external look of the bathroom depends entirely on the owner’s imagination and desires. The shape can be completely different — a jacuzzi, a spa-style bathtub, wood-finished, or any other whimsical form. Materials include the old reliable cast iron, steel, or modern plastic.

Bathroom Decoration

A few words about bathroom decoration. Traditionally popular are marine and plant motifs. For both children and adults, it’s pleasant to imagine oneself among ocean waves next to playful dolphins, cheerful jellyfish, or vibrant fish. Color preferences vary from white to black, but still 70% of clients prefer their bathroom in blue and green tones. First, these colors soothe the nervous system, filling the body with harmony, new energy, and compensating for the energy spent during the day. Second, lighting in the bathroom is an important issue.

If there is a window, the issue of lighting during the day is almost solved. The demand is for wall sconces placed near the mirror. If the window is decorated with a marine-style stained glass and sea salt is added to the water, the effect of gentle waves is guaranteed. But if there are no windows, ceiling-mounted spotlights, wall sconces, and familiar chandeliers come to the rescue. Plan every detail of your bathroom design carefully and enjoy your aquatic routines.
