Beautiful bathrooms: modern, practical and aesthetic interior

The importance of utilitarian facilities should not be underestimated. For example, the morning of each of us begins in the bathroom and the period of wakefulness ends there, preparation for bed goes through. Obviously, such a room should not only meet all the requirements of functionality, practicality and ergonomics, but also please the eye, immerse us in an atmosphere of rest and relaxation. Given the specifics of the microclimate of the bathroom, creating a design for this multifunctional room becomes a daunting task. It is important to choose a room decoration that will reliably protect surfaces from high humidity and constant temperature changes, acquire comfortable, but at the same time beautiful plumbing, do not forget about practical but original accessories and fix the design with harmonious color solutions. The mission is not easy, but incredibly interesting. We hope that an extensive selection of 100 modern design projects of bathrooms of different shapes and sizes, stylistic directions and color schemes will help you get inspired to create the interior of your dreams.

It is difficult to overestimate the correctness and literacy of drawing up a practical and functional bathroom design. Obviously, the room should not only be convenient in operation, but also stylish, beautiful. Considering the fact that most of the bathrooms in standard Russian apartments are very modest in size, the entire arsenal of design techniques for visual expansion of space is also used.

When creating a modern interior space for water and sanitary procedures, it is also important to familiarize yourself with the latest trends in interior design. And the fashion for decorating utilitarian premises does not stand still - new finishing materials appear (modern collections are presented in safe versions from the point of view of environmental friendliness, it’s all easier to mount and take care of them during operation), beautiful and original plumbing items, practical, but with this is an unusual appearance of bathroom accessories that can become a highlight of the interior.

Many modern trends in the design of auxiliary rooms have been relevant for more than a season and, most likely, will be such for a long time. Indeed, the practicality of interior items, safety for humans and the environment, ease of use and multifunctionality are always in fashion. But there are trends that are inherent only in the ways of designing utilitarian spaces, with their special atmosphere and a set of functional segments.

So, in the bathroom, we all would like to create an atmosphere that will help to relax and rest at the end of the working day and will contribute to the awakening and charging of the body with a tonus in the morning. Among the trends in the design of bathrooms, designers note the following:

• reflection of proximity to nature (starting with materials and ending with color schemes);
• balance of manufacturability and naturalness;
• high functionality coupled with ease of maintenance;
• striving for maximum resource savings through modern innovations;
• ability to combine functionality, aesthetics and technology on several square meters.

Perhaps only the kitchen space can get ahead of the bathroom in terms of attendance in a modern home. If in the apartment or private house there is a combined bathroom, then this utilitarian room becomes one of the most popular. It is here that the largest flow of water occurs.Therefore, it is not surprising that designers pay so much attention to the ergonomic location of plumbing and the use of the latest trends in energy saving.

One of the trends in the decoration of bathrooms is the use of imitation of natural surfaces. Facing tiles imitating wood, stone, brick and even leather are the trend of our time. Using ceramic tiles with imitation, you can get not only reliable protection of the surfaces of the bathroom, but also the original interior of the room, filled with natural shades and a special atmosphere.

The combination of finishing materials is another indisputable trend in the modern design of utilitarian spaces. And in this matter, you can go much further than the traditional combination of ceramic tiles with mosaics. It combines moisture-resistant decorative plaster, glass tiles, glossy and matte ceramics, textured and smooth products, wood and stone (even if imitated). Such combinations allow you to expand the scope in the design of such a difficult room in terms of microclimate, such as a bathroom. In addition, the use of various finishing materials allows you to choose the best option for surface protection in each functional area of ​​the room for water and sanitary procedures.

Modern manufacturers of plumbing tirelessly looking for not only new durable, wear-resistant and easy-to-use materials, but also the models of new products. Original design, unusual (but ergonomic) shape, creative choice of color scheme - various design ideas are used. In order for the bathroom interior, even with the most ordinary finish, to be non-trivial, attracting attention, it is enough to purchase original plumbing.

One of the trends of our time in the design of bathrooms and combined bathrooms is associated with the location of plumbing in a non-trivial layout. Of course, only a landlord with a spacious bathroom can afford to install a bathtub or hydrobox in the middle of the room. But the double sink can fit in almost any utility room for water procedures. This, at first glance, luxury, has long been commonplace for foreign bathroom design projects. An increasing number of Russians can already appreciate the convenience of this design technique.

Modern style seeks to abandon excessive decor and various decorations, detail. Simplicity and comfort are at the forefront. In this regard, it is not surprising that the role of decorative elements is increasingly being taken by quite functional interior items. For example, in the design of a bathroom, such items are accessories for plumbing - various faucets, shower heads, heated towel rails, hangers and holders. The original performance of these, of course, necessary details can bring to a new level, a completely ordinary, unremarkable bathroom interior. For example, dark, contrasting bathroom accessories simply look luxurious against a light background of decoration, creating not only contrast in the color palette, but also adding a twist to the image of the room.

No less effect can be achieved when using accessories with an unusual metal coating, spraying - copper, gold or artificially aged bathroom details can both increase the level of creativity and indicate certain stylistic features of the interior.

But modern accessories for plumbing are not only beauty and practicality in use. It is also an innovation for saving water, multifunctionality and environmental friendliness. Faucets, various watering cans and nozzles are able to spray water into the smallest droplets, creating the effect of tropical rain, thereby ensuring the washing of the whole body with minimal water consumption.Various devices are equipped with lighting devices, which allows you to take color therapy sessions directly in the bathroom, increasing the benefits of water procedures.

Lighting fixtures in modern bathrooms can also play the role of decorative elements. They not only fulfill their main function of providing space with the necessary level of illumination, but also become accent elements (if presented in bright colors) or a highlight of the interior (villages have an original design, creative design).

The influence of the Scandinavian style on the formation of modern style has also borne fruit in the design of bathrooms. Although it is not always possible to evaluate the advantage of using living plants as a decor in such a difficult room from the point of view of the original microclimate, such as a bathroom, the result is worth it. Many plants easily tolerate high humidity and changing temperature conditions, and the effect of the presence of lush greens among the snow-white, very “cold” surfaces of the bathroom outweighs any disturbances in stereotypical thinking.

White color in the variety of its manifestation will always be one of the favorites in the list of the most frequently used options for designing bathroom surfaces. And there are many reasons for this:

• white color is associated with cleanliness, freshness and even sterility, and in fact this is the result we expect from a room for water procedures;
• all shades of white contribute to the visual expansion of the space and are suitable for decoration even small spaces;
• with the help of a white tone, you can hide the flaws in the architecture of the room, finish and "smooth" the design imperfections;
• White color is easiest to combine with other color schemes; against such a background, even an ordinary towel looks like a bright accent.

But an absolutely white bathroom (given the fact that plumbing is most often presented in a snow-white version) is unlikely to please the owners' eyes. Associations with a hospital ward, a sterile operating room are inevitable, and our eyes need objects to focus attention. Probably because of this, one of the popular and at the same time easily feasible design options for the bathroom has become a contrasting interior. A simple alternation of light and dark surfaces leads to the creation of original and at the same time dynamic images of a utilitarian room.

With the help of contrasting combinations in the decoration, bathroom furnishings and accessories, storage systems and lighting fixtures, it is possible to emphasize both individual interior items and entire functional segments. At the same time, it is not necessary to use traditional combinations of white and black, any dark, deep tones next to light, pastel surfaces will look great.

Gray color and all the variety of its noble shades are relevant at all times. The versatility, practicality and neutrality of this color prompts designers and their customers to actively use a wide palette of gray shades in the decoration of the bathroom. Matte or glossy, with a slight metallic (silver) sheen or even mirror surfaces serve as an excellent background for snow-white plumbing. You can be sure that the bathroom in gray-white tones will become a universal interior in which everyone will feel comfortable.

Natural shades do not go out of fashion for the design of auxiliary spaces of modern homes. A special niche in a wide range of natural tones is occupied by a beige and brown palette. Warm colors always create a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. In addition, most of us would like to “shade” the coldness of shiny, chrome plumbing accessories with warm, natural tones.

But all these bathroom design options are more suitable for conservatives.For those who wish to embark on the path of experimentation and creating a creative bathroom interior, we offer the following surface design options. Bright, bold colors are suitable for medium and large bathrooms. Against a colorful background of decoration, snow-white plumbing devices look especially impressive. In this case, the combination of finishing materials can also give a favorable result.
