Black bathroom: a sense of infinity

The room in which every day begins and ends, which serves to cleanse not only the body, but also relieve fatigue and stress from the events of everyday life, needs to create a special psycho-energetic atmosphere.

It has been established that one of the most effective methods of influencing an emotional state is color, with the help of which you can calm and arouse, delight and plunge into depression, relax and fill with energy.

Before deciding on the style, with the set of necessary components of the bathroom kit, it is worth thinking about color associations that will bring the mood and worldview into a state of harmony and will contribute to complete relaxation. There can be no universal recipes, mental perception is individual, and that which positively affects one individual can cause a negative emotional reaction of another.

Black color is the most ambiguous in the method and number of interpretations, from “not color” (in the computer color model RGB is indicated as # 000000) to “king of color” (as expressed by French impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir).

The black bathroom does not surprise anyone anymore and is not considered shocking and extravagance thanks to many interesting decisions by professional designers who proved that the correctly used black color in the interior makes the bathroom luxurious and elegant, evoking a sense of connection with infinity, energy, passion, mystery and security.

“Black bath” does not mean that an interior is being created according to the type “black-black Moidodyr stood in a black, black room”. It is supposed to use this color in certain proportions in combination with other tones.

The combination of white and black never goes out of style, it is a win-win combination of achromatic colors, which due to the maximum contrast has a high degree of energy effect. There are various ways of color realization - in the wall tiles, flooring, ceiling, painting the bathroom and individual accessories.

There is a stereotype that in a small room black color is categorically contraindicated.Indeed, too large surfaces, painted black, visually reduce the room. But the use of, for example, one black wall in combination with white walls and the ceiling visually distance and elevate the object, cause associations with the vast space.

Designers came up with the rule of a single accent (and they themselves violate it all the time), which can become one thing - the bath itself, the floor, the ceiling, the wall, the mirror, the piece of furniture or decor. The black bathroom becomes a dominant in the interior, looks more massive and impressive. The use of mirrors and diverse lighting design evoke a feeling of depth and infinity of space.

Globalization and the free exchange of information has touched upon issues of architecture and interior design, including bathrooms. A design plan developed at one end of the world can be successfully applied in another country, taking into account the features and capabilities of a new customer or designer. National stereotypes regarding color can even be shaken. Thus, under the influence of Japanese aesthetics, black from the color of mourning and sadness, pessimism and depression, turns into a symbol of nobility, life experience and perfection.

The variety of styles in which bathroom designs can be realized is striking. And this is not surprising. Since ancient Roman and Greek times, human civilization has accumulated many tricks and design rules with special traditions that reflect life, economics, culture, medicine, philosophy and even religion.

In luxurious neo-baroque and art deco styles, black color is ideally combined with gold and silver tones, in a modern style with pastel and natural shades, in ethnic styles combinations with bright chromatic colors - red, yellow, orange, brown and blue, look appropriate in futuristic - with purple. Black - the iconic color of the minimalism style.

Currently, anyone who does not dare to use a deep black color in a design can choose very dark and saturated shades as a close alternative brown, graypurple.

When directed light (from a natural or artificial source) gets on a black surface, tides appear that are associated with spectral colors - in red (bovine blood) in blue (raven wing, blue-black), green (ebony, tea tree), gray-brown (brown), dark brown (chocolate-black) or achromatic - silver (carbon, graphite, anthracite), dark gray with black spots (marengo), pale grayish-black (earthy flint). When decorating a bathroom with several objects in black, you should choose one shade, the multiplicity of variations of tides can hopelessly ruin the interior.

The black color looks advantageous in decorating the bathroom in various large and small patterns (floral and geometric patterns, “zebra”Or“ leopard ”), vertical and horizontal stripes, in black and white tiles laid out in the form of a chessboard.

Materials that organically perceive black coloring and are used in the construction and decoration of bathrooms are tiles, tree, metal, glass, a rock, plastic, acrylic.

Some psychologists claim that the love of black is a testament to the ideal character of the person (Great affirmation when immersed in a fragrant bathroom in a black interior!).
