Modernist style bathrooms

The line between Art Nouveau and Modernism is very thin. It is generally accepted that modernism is a logical continuation of modernity, only in accordance with the latest trends in the fashion world.

Modernism is a unique phenomenon in the field of design. This style has combined diverse directions and schools. The unprecedented popularity of modernism in our time is due to the freedom of the author's approach to the embodiment of style ideas. Each designer in this direction creates not only a reflection of reality, but also his own attitude to it.

The bathrooms, designed in accordance with the requirements of modernism, are distinguished by a sense of spaciousness and light. Projects for their arrangement are distinguished by rationality and functionality.

• application of the latest technologies and materials;
• clear and strict lines;
• light color palette;
• minimum number of decorative elements;
• multi-level floors and ceilings;
• unconventional methods of zoning space;
• main materials: glass, metal, stone, plastic.

First of all, when repairing bathrooms, attention is paid to the ceilings. Traditionally, these are white or light constructions:

 

If the layout of the house allows, then an excellent solution would be to place a window opening on the ceiling. This will eliminate unnecessary artificial light sources:

 

Multilevel ceiling structures are functional and practical. With their help, the area varies:

 

Ceiling chandeliers and other fixtures are distinguished by soft lines and geometric shapes:

 

For flooring in modernist style bathrooms, ceramic tiles are used, because it is the most practical material for rooms with high humidity. Existing varieties of such a finishing material allow you to create various design effects. Since modernism is, first of all, rationality, experts recommend using porcelain stoneware for flooring:

In the light bathroom interior, multi-colored or darker floors emphasize the freshness of the main background. For example, green mosaic tiles on the floor rhyme with the landscape outside the window, and black porcelain tiles visually raises the space of the bathroom and creates the illusion of weightlessness:

 

The self-leveling floor is the perfect solution for modernist style bathrooms. The absence of butt joints significantly increases the service life of such a coating and prevents the growth of bacteria and mold. In addition to practicality, bulk floors look very impressive, with their help you can transform the interior:

 

Laminate or parquet board is not the most practical material for floors in bathrooms. But if you decide on such a coating, you need to choose a coating with increased moisture resistance, the room must have a powerful ventilation system. Of course, floors resembling natural wood will give a special charm to the interior of the bathroom:

 

The basic idea of ​​modernism is the lightness and airiness of space. Designers achieve this effect using white or light pastel colors. The walls decorated in light green or gray range look interesting:

 

As a finishing material for the walls, tiles of the most diverse texture are used. It can be a classic tile, smooth with a glossy surface, or with a relief pattern:

The surface imitating masonry from small segments looks unusual and original:

Smooth, smooth wall surfaces are a classic of the genre, therefore, this design option is appropriate in the bathroom in the style of modernism:

 

The division of the territory into separate sections of the bathroom in the style of modernism is no different in principle from other styles. Here, color borders, partitions, and materials that differ in texture can be used. Glass partitions are the most common way of zoning in the bathroom. Shower cabins can be separated from the common room with transparent or opaque plexiglass walls:

Partitions can also be made according to the principle of combining building materials: on the one hand glass, on the other hand - drywall, wood or plastic:

You can also separate the shower zone from other areas using materials that are different in texture: panels imitating natural granite contrast with panels under a wooden lining:

That part of the room where the bathtub is directly installed can be not only separated by a glass sliding door or wall, but also decorated with different tiles:

 

Partitions inside the bathroom can be solid and fundamental, finished with the same materials as the whole room. They give a feeling of solidity and security:

 

It is possible to achieve originality in the interior of a bathroom in the style of modernism not only with an extraordinary design, but also with the intricate form of models of bathtubs or washbasins.

Double washbasins on a solid masonry worktop are simple and restrained in design:

Sinks in the form of a rectangular tray - a classic form for the modernism style:

 

Instead of a traditional washbasin, designers offer such an extravagant option: two rectangular segments beveled towards the center form a hole for draining water:

The bathtub, trimmed around the perimeter of the tree, looks unusual. If you pick up other pieces of wood furniture, you can make an ensemble:

A classic oval-shaped bathtub can be installed in the middle of the room. In this case, it is necessary to consider the installation of all communications in order to maximize the free space around it:

 

An element such as windows serves as a source of light in the bathroom and is an accent in the interior.

Narrow window openings, designed under the ceiling, will allow the use of walls to accommodate plumbing communications and provide access to sunlight:

 

Panoramic and corner windows are a fashion trend. Of course, this method of glazing looks great, but is not suitable for all bathrooms. Be prepared for the fact that the panoramic window, located in close proximity to the bathtub or wash basin, will often fog up, there will be traces of water on it:

 

The optimal placement of the window in the bathroom is a wall located away from the bathtub or washbasin or at a sufficient height from them:

 

Modernism is always a search and an experiment. Therefore, such a style is chosen by bold and creative residents and designers. We offer you to consider several ways of extravagant design of bathrooms.

The shower cabin resembles a Turkish bath - hammam - with special marble seats. In this design of seats, it is necessary to think over the technology of their heating:

Geometrically regular shape with clear lines, the bath harmoniously fits into the interior with the basic geometric idea:

The attic bathroom is a great way to save on ceiling and wall finishes, as they merge into one. Multilevel lighting and a light background create the volume of this room:

The construction with a built-in toilet and a cylindrical sink looks absolutely incredible. This will certainly save space, but how practical this option is for you to decide:

Bathrooms with access to the conservatory are magnificent and extravagant. If you make a bath in the recess in the floor, then the exit to the green zone will simulate the shore of the reservoir:

 

The biofireplace in the bathroom will give it coziness, create a feeling of warmth.It can be equipped in a wall partition that separates the area with a washbasin from a bath or shower:

As noted above, there should be very few accessories in modernism, as the goals of this style are different. However, for those who attach great importance to decorative elements, some options can be offered.

Bright color accents in the form of a rug or a home flowering plant:

 

An unusual shape of a chandelier that stands out against a monotonous background:

Original forms of vases, candlesticks, prints or paintings with abstract images:

 

Curtains made of textiles are not such an important accessory in the bathroom. However, if the area allows and you like a cozy atmosphere, you can pick up long classic curtains. It is important to choose a moisture resistant material:

Accessories made from natural materials will be appropriate in bathrooms with a living plant area. It can be tree trunks or hemp:

As can be seen from the examples, there are a lot of ways to customize the design and equipment of bathrooms in the modernist style. All of them are diverse and everyone has the right to decide for himself what exactly is suitable for his premises.
