Faces of luxury and color of a marble bathtub
In a gorgeous bath, the water seems more transparent, the foam is more magnificent, the relaxation is deeper. The negativity and relaxation are provided by the natural energy of the stone, and the mood is awareness of one's own statuality. Along with hot vapors, a sense of wealth, good taste and a desire for luxury, apparently inherited from the Roman patricians, hover in the air.
The natural texture of marble is responsible for the noble appearance and uniqueness of the picture. Natural pigments allow you to admire the shades of gray, beige, delicate cream or color tints on a dark surface with streaks of light threads. A pliable soft base allows you to cut interesting shapes from mountain blocks, including blanks for the bath.
A fairly energy-consuming scheme is considered to be the transformation of a shapeless mountain massif into beautiful sanitary ware or decor items. The process itself is quite time-consuming, despite the technical equipment supported by unique technologies.
In the spectrum of colors and possibilities
Regarding the material itself, a number of decorative advantages should be noted, allowing for many years to provide practicality and aesthetics to tiled surfaces. The color of marble determines its quality characteristics and functional purpose.
The most delicate and luxurious for the bathroom is white stone. In its composition, the presence of any impurities is excluded, the structure is marked by ductility and softness. Compliance in processing is ideal for shaping products, and is welcomed in interior decoration.
The gray appearance is coarser in nature due to the porous texture and content of impurities, but in appearance it is not inferior to white. The surface is identified with feathers of clouds, forming a unique pattern of interweaving patterns. Against the background of the natural palette, blue is less common than others.
Colored stone has a large percentage of impurities, but it is marked by a rich palette of tones. In terms of resistance to external aggression, weather is considered persistent, and is involved in all finishing processes. Especially practical are plumbing products and countertops.
A universally recognized fact: marble neutralizes negative energy, and tonal scatter expands the possibilities for the embodiment of ideas.
In accordance with the given style
With an eye on the history of design, it can be argued that marble was always in demand in the design of palaces, and only granite can argue with its popularity. In addition to expensive cladding, the presence of an independently standing bowl of this material dictates the whole design concept. At the same time, it will become the center of attention in any style, will be in harmony with wood, glass, ceramic tiles and other modern materials.
For wall cladding, it is recommended to use the aesthetic advantage of a glossy surface. In combination with a wood structure or marble mosaic, it is quite possible to materialize the idea of a minimalist interior or an exquisite retro design in a vintage spirit.
Marble bowls accompany classic, Indian or Moroccan styles. Plumbing with gilding in conjunction with the same accessories amaze with luxury. English aristocracy and conservatism in relation to the natural finish resonate with the craving of oriental designs for chic. This is manifested in the sheen of gilding plumbing or brass with a more modest design.
In the current version, the classic allows facing surfaces with good imitation. The main emphasis of the style is a free-standing font on beautiful legs, which reserves the right to be the dominant of the bath plot.Openwork forged lamps in tandem with massive furniture fittings will fully immerse themselves in the “expensive” atmosphere.
- Marble is successfully combined with elegant tiles imitating Victorian stitches.
- If the walls of their white stone are supplemented with a wooden floor and a figured bench with wrought iron elements, the association with the SPA salon will contribute to a quick relaxation.
- Models with hologen lighting that matches the spectral reflection of the walls emphasize the idea and add chic.
Today's trends
Modern design projects with a focus on luxury emphasize directly on expensive materials. This helps to avoid color saturation in the decor, pushing the beauty of the structure of expensive material to the background. It also refers to the exact reproduction of a given topic, with the aim of eliminating bad taste in detail.
So, in the version of the dark white design of marble, the contrast of the bowl and the lining should be observed, and be limited to the yellow sheen of taps, local light and the necessary textile items.
In a room with a freestanding bowl, the leading position behind the installation on the podium, and attention to decoration becomes secondary. Such projects are permissible to implement only in the complementarity of the relevant attributes, and spacious rooms of country houses.
- Plant florarium - a glass vessel of complex shape with a neck narrowed upwards, and a hygrophilous plant growing inside, will serve as a wonderful decoration and will resonate with a monotonous space. Two or three compositions from a series of "bottle gardens" will provide the appropriate surroundings.
- Throw in a wide transparent vase of smooth stones, and put near the installation. The opposite side is acceptable to issue the same capacity with a floating flower.
- Try using semi-precious stones to decorate in an unusual way. Fasten them with a loop of thick rope, and hang vertically next to the mirror or position in opposite corners. With identical copies, draw up the handles of drawers and cabinets, grabbing a bamboo twine or hemp copy in the middle, and leaving it in a free position.
Bright paraphernalia will help to indicate oriental flavor. Against the background of light marble walls, colored glass of lamps is allowed, multi-level light on the richly decorated ceiling.
Often a stained glass composition is laid out on the window or painting with silver and gold on marble is applied, which is becoming more and more popular in many directions. The trend towards aging of the surface is also relevant. To create an artificial effect, shallow chips, holes and a web of cracks are made.
Attention is drawn to the complete opposite of the laconic design in the Japanese style, where everything is subject to one aspect: total relaxation and rest. Nothing should distract from internal concentration, except for the support of the lively energy of the stone. It excludes even the proximity of the shower. And in order to dispel the doubts of the correspondence of the created entourage, and to create a complete immersion in meditation, “drown” the cast-iron bathroom in the marble floor, scattering the mat around the edge.
The Japanese design is echoed by the ethnic style, which implies a natural stone in cream and gray colors.
The Art Nouveau interior welcomes many lamps and mirrors in elegant frames on the smooth surface of white marble.
Worthy copy of the original
Imagine a picture with a luxurious font, streaked with marble stains, surrounded by beautiful things. To do this, it is not necessary to visit the mansion of a millionaire. Today, many things can allow such things. Chrome plumbing fixtures and accessories will take care of the appropriate surroundings, and really duplicate the plot from the series about a rich life.
An alternative to the mountain range will be plumbing products created using today's technologies. The scheme is being developed for projects with fragmentary bonding of stone puzzles.Under pressure, small pieces of marble are joined by the sides.
Due to the diversity of the resource, a beautiful mosaic is formed that resembles a stained-glass window with a unique pattern. Since waste is used to create it, a rational idea is economically viable and, thanks to the author’s project, claims to be exclusive. Original models from glued fragments, with polishing and sandblasting are available for people who are not ready to pay $ 5,000 for a model from natural stone. In the case of angular variation - and even more. At the same time, the surface will not suffer from scratches, does not require intensive cleaning, and does not turn yellow from long use. What is not an option for fans to enjoy the chic?
Cast marble sanitary products also provide an opportunity to equip the bathroom with beautiful products of their artificial stone. They are based on particles of marble, quartz sand, coloring pigments, acrylic resins, hardeners, arranged in reliable plates, coated with color or transparent gelcoat. This layer of 1 mm waterproofs the surface, gives depth to the texture pattern.
A font made of artificial stone deserves to have different configurations, not limited to the accuracy of the geometry and symmetry of the sides of the rectangle or oval. The design of marble fragments can be angular, without a case or an organic continuation of the lower plane. If in the first version the independent bowl of their light stone is perceived as something airy and light, in the second version the impression of monumentality is created.
The sides, head restraints, leg device and other functions in terms of comfort far surpass the design of bowls made of marble blocks. By the way, analogues are 3 times stronger than the original and 8 times stronger than acrylic, and are limited by the cost of the latter.
- Another advantage is the expanded color range, due to the ability to adjust portions of powder pigments;
- Touching the surface, unlike cold marble, causes a pleasant sensation, and low thermal conductivity is responsible for the slow cooling of water;
Do not forget that furniture requires special attention. In such an interior, a countertop with a washbasin, with a stone matching in texture, naturally looks like. The sink is mounted in it according to the principle of seamless technology, which creates a feeling of solidity. In the designated topic, it is also worth designing the mirror frame so that the “stone” ensemble acquires a stylistic completeness.
If you want to bask in a bathtub made of natural marble, no one has the right to prohibit using the chic version of aristocrats. Psychologically, comfort is more expensive than material objects.
