Bathroom accessories - style in the details

The bathroom is not only a room for sanitary and hygienic procedures, but also a place to relax, rest and get fit. When creating the interior of this multifunctional space, every detail is important. Especially if these little things can not only fulfill their functions, but also decorate the design of the room. In addition, it is important not to forget that the bathroom is one of the hallmarks of the home. If guests may not enter the bedroom, study or library, they will definitely visit the utilitarian premises. The attention of your guests will no doubt be attracted not only by the general design of the bathroom, but also by many additions and accessories that can make your stay in this room more comfortable and enjoyable.

Do not count all the additional elements that can saturate the interior of the bathroom. But in trying to equip your utilitarian room with maximum comfort, it is important not to miss the reasonable edge and not to clutter up a modest space (as is most often the case in Russian apartments). Before you go to the store to buy accessories in the bathroom, you need to draw a circle of what is necessary and desired, reaching a reasonable compromise. Make a detailed list of additional items - from a rug for a shower cabin to a mirror, from a heated towel rail to hooks for clothes.

This group of additional elements of the bathroom interior includes absolutely all accessories, the installation of which involves any kind of fastening to the vertical surfaces of the room. Wall accessories include:

• mirrors;
• shelves;
• handles and holders (in shower cabins, hydroboxes and just near the bathtub);
• heated towel rails;
• hooks, holders and tripods for hanging things and towels;
• Wall lights.

No bathroom can do without a mirror (and sometimes more than one). Depending on the chosen style of room decoration, it can be either simple and concise mirrors without frames, or luxurious wall elements with rich decoration. If two sinks are installed in the bathroom, then one large mirror or a pair of wall elements can be located above them. Here is an example of choosing mirrors for the modern style of bathroom design - strict forms and lack of decor emphasize the laconic style.

In the classic interior, the mirror often acts as the main decorative element. A frame with rich decor or the execution of the mirror itself in the Baroque style allows you to create not only an authentic style atmosphere, but also to bring a truly festive, ceremonial character to the design of the bathroom.

The presence of open shelves used to store certain bath accessories is due to the presence of storage systems in the form of cabinets under the bathroom or as separate modules. No less influences the layout of the room, the plumbing present. For example, showers are most often equipped with built-in shelves and mirrors, but near the bathtub and jacuzzi it is necessary to hang open shallow shelves for various means necessary during the adoption of water procedures.

In modern design projects of bathrooms you can still find the use of wall mirrors, which are part of the facades of shallow cabinets. In such storage systems, you can place a first-aid kit, various cosmetics. For small bathrooms, these additional elements, which can be called pieces of furniture, are a good purchase.

Original look rings for towels attached to the wall. No less effect can be achieved by connecting several small rings with a thick rope or wicker element. For an interior in a marine style or country style, such an element will become accent, emphasizing the design of the bathroom.

Do paintings or photos in frames as a bathroom wall decor seem an unrealistic option for you? Modern materials for the performance of such accessories allow you not to worry about the high humidity of the room and temperature extremes. And yet, it is better not to hang the wall decor in places of high risk - in the area of ​​the apron of the bathtub, sink.

Wall lights can also act as a decorative element, in addition to performing their basic functions. Original wall sconces can be mounted directly to the mirror located above the sink.

The name of this group speaks for itself - it includes all the elements that can be installed on the floor. This includes various coasters, shelves for bath accessories, floor towel racks, laundry baskets and even flower vases. Of course, the presence of these accessories is determined not only by the functional need, but also by the capabilities of the room - its size and layout.

To the floor elements can be attributed stand tables, on which you can lay as necessary for water procedures fixtures by installing them near the bath, and put a vase with flowers, for example. Of course, such accessories are only available in large utility rooms.

Here is an example of using floor elements not only to perform their basic functions, but also to bring originality to the interior. A low wooden staircase for hanging towels and a wicker basket for dirty laundry or various appliances certainly create a special charm for the image of the bathroom.

If the bathroom has enough free space, you can install a floor hanger for clothes and towels. Beautiful forged structural elements will be in perfect harmony with the similar design of stands, lamp holders and other interior items.

 

Only at first glance it may seem that the only textile addition to the bathroom can be towels. Small curtains on the windows (most often as part of private households), rugs in front of the bathroom or near sinks, various napkins for open storage systems (relevant for some stylistic trends). Of course, no less requirements are imposed on bathroom textiles than on furniture or plumbing.

If in the bathrooms of modern apartments windows are rare, then in the framework of private households this phenomenon can be called quite natural. In order to hide from prying eyes what is happening in the bathroom or just to ensure a comfortable presence in this room, curtains and curtains of various configurations are used - from ordinary direct models to fabric blinds.

Of course, the design, color and texture of textiles for bathroom windows should be in harmony with the image of the room, the style of its design. In rare cases, textiles play the role of a color accent, however, textiles in a utilitarian space are not the main thing, the main attention is most often attracted to plumbing and room decoration.

Bathroom mats should be made of absorbent material, easy to wash and dry quickly. This effect can only be achieved by mixing synthetic raw materials with natural ones. The rug in the bathroom not only protects your legs from cold tiles (in the absence of underfloor heating), but also protects your movement and decorates the interior.

Towels are not only an obligatory textile element of the bathroom, but also an excellent tool for bringing a color accent to the interior. In modern design projects, often created in a neutral color palette, towels act as a bright element that attracts everyone's attention.

It is rare that a room does without accessories for sanitary-hygienic procedures - soap dishes and bottles for liquid soap, cups and holders for toothbrushes, various dispensers. The composition will be harmonious if all items are part of the set. The assortment of modern stores is incredibly wide - it is not difficult to choose a kit suitable for your interior.

One of the universal options for the implementation of accessories for water and hygiene procedures is transparent or frosted unpainted glass. Such a set organically fits into any style of interior design of a bathroom. But the shape and design of additional elements for a utility room will depend on the style of the room. For a minimalist, modern style, it is better to prefer the laconic execution of sets, in the classic bathroom you can use more elegant and even elaborate devices.

Equally popular devices made of ceramic. The snow-white design of ceramic vessels and soap dishes will suit any stylistic design of the interior, bright ceramic elements can become accent spots in the created bathroom design.

The convenience of using special trays (coasters) for various bottles, soap dishes and jars is difficult to overestimate. Thanks to the tray, all the necessary equipment for water procedures will be placed in one place, if you spilled bath salt or spilled liquid soap (shampoo), you only need to wash the tray, not the bathtub or floors in the room. In addition, such compositions in the original performance incredibly adorn the interior, often becoming the center of attention.

Additional (optional) elements of the decor of the bathroom include candles in various stands, beautiful containers. To create a romantic, relaxing atmosphere, it is difficult to come up with a more organic accessory than candles. By color, design, size and method of execution, you can choose or order the option of candles (the whole composition of them), which will be perfect for your interior.

We bring to your attention several design projects of bathrooms, designed using non-trivial accessories. The range of modern stores and the possibility of ordering certain household items according to individual design, allows you to create completely unique design options for bathrooms. For example, for the interior of a bathroom for children, you can use bright accessories of an unusual design: from moisture-proof wall stickers to shelves in the form of ocean inhabitants - fish, dolphins or starfish.

Details not only indicate the stylistic identity of the interior, but also reflect the individuality of the owners of the room. With the help of additional elements, you can create a truly unique design with a unique character, special color.
