Stone Bathroom - Royal Interior

First of all, I want to say that natural stone is one of the most ancient materials, characterized by special strength and reliability, proven over the centuries. This is a durable building material, which has several types, which previously decorated the premises. From ancient times, species such as marble, granite, sandstone, onyx, quartzite, etc. were used. However, pleasure is not cheap, therefore, this material was not very popular for interior decoration at that time.

But with the advent of artificial stone, the picture changed dramatically, because decorative stone is now quite affordable for its price and also has many different shapes, even the most bizarre. The wealth of textures is absolutely amazing. Another huge plus is the fact that artificial stone is much lighter than natural, and laying it is much easier. And what can they decorate directly in the interior of the bathroom? Yes, literally everything you want, whether it be walls, floors, doors, the area of ​​a mirror or a washstand - all that is enough for your imagination.

In order for the styling to be successful, you should adhere to a number of rules in working with decorative stone. Let's get acquainted with them:

• you need to add light - even if the stone is of a light shade, it will still “eat” the light, reducing the degree of illumination, and therefore additional light sources will be needed,

if a dark stone is used, it is recommended to alternate it with light-colored wallpaper or with stucco;

• in narrow rooms, the use of stone is generally not recommended, because there already is not enough light, and the stone can only add darkness;
• it is necessary to observe the measure with the use of decorative stone, it is not advisable to overdo it if you do not want to turn the house into a cave;
• sometimes a rough stone looks very stylish and spectacular at first glance, but don’t be afraid to use original decorative material, not only in bathrooms, but even in such delicate rooms as a girl’s bedroom - this will add a touch to the interior;

• use in the interior living plantswhich wonderfully harmonize with the stone similarly to the living conditions, for example, in a vintage bathroom, a stone combined with lush greenery will be simply magnificent

Everything is quite simple - decorative stone has water-repellent properties, and for the rooms of bathrooms it is a huge plus. Well, the aesthetic properties of the stone are of considerable importance. Especially when the room is spacious, you can create great original solutions based on the game of texture and color. But even if you are not the owner of the royal choir, but have a standard bathroom with an area of ​​2 - 4 square meters.meters, you can still successfully use a decorative stone in the interior, if you competently and thoughtfully approach the preparation of a design project. By the way, we immediately note that it is not worthwhile to completely stone the bathroom with a stone, otherwise you will reduce it even more.

But to highlight some small area, for example, the area of ​​the mirror, sinks, the outer walls of the bath itself,

shower stall

wall near built-in wardrobe

or just part of the wall - this is what you need in your case.

Such accents turn the bathroom into a real spa.

In this case, the stone can be used in any texture and any shades. Although, if you follow the advice of designers, the imitation of granite or marble looks best - it gives a special luxury to the room. True, drops of water on a glossy surface will be much more noticeable. The bath itself can also be turned into a medieval element. If you select a stone for granite or marble, then the interior of the bathroom will be very original and even luxurious.

Mixing of different styles is also allowed. Since the stone has waterproofing, its presence is simply necessary in the bathrooms. As for the decorative stone lining of the walls of the bathroom, it can be said that parts of this material are glued together seamlessly, thus forming smooth surfaces without gaps, as if they were cut from a single piece of marble or granite. Such walls perfectly withstand shelves, mirrors and towel holders attached to them, as artificial stone is a very strong and reliable material that can withstand any load.

Artificial stone tiles are also used as flooring, although they are made using a slightly different technology than for walls. Porcelain stoneware is used for the floor, which is more resistant and even more durable and reliable. It also has waterproof properties and is perfectly washed with any detergent. The choice is quite large, the only one has a smaller variety of colors than the material for wall cladding.

A bathroom with a decorative stone for kings ... It really is. The room of the bathroom, lined with decorative stone, looks simply amazing, truly royal. The presence of stone emphasizes respectability, and also provides an opportunity to feel unique and even exceptional, because the house can tell a lot about its owner, or rather, almost everything.
