Do you think the bathroom is not the place for design experiments? Bright colors are for other rooms? And using wallpaper and wood is unwise? Bold solutions in our vivid example will change your mind.
During the repair of the bathroom is sometimes engaged on the residual principle, believing that on this purely functional space is not necessary to spend a lot of effort, and nothing more interesting than a bright tile to come up with is not necessary.
The more pleasant to see examples of the opposite approach, reflecting the desire of the owner and the designer not to give in to difficulties, not to limit the flight of fancy and give the bathroom no less time and effort than other rooms.
Sometimes this leads to small masterpieces.
How much does it cost to repair the bathroom: projects with prices.
Small bathroom – 10 layout options.
Bathroom, given a second life by American designer Christopher Patrick (Christopher Patrick), remodeled in the late 50’s, was decorated sparingly and restrained and has since become completely morally obsolete.
On the plus side, there is a window and plenty of space.
Christopher Patrick, designer.
Christopher founded his own company relatively recently, in 2011, but has already earned a reputation as one of the most promising designers in Washington.
He believes design should be fun and engaging, loves to travel, and is willing to search to the point of exhaustion to find the perfect pieces for his interiors.
He calls his style “modern, but warm, masculine and with a personal touch.” christopherpatrickinteriors.com.
Looking through the projects in search of inspiration, the designer saw so many absolutely identical and typical interiors that he set out to make “antivandal.” Indeed, the result resembles a living room or a cozy boudoir, and the feeling of abandonment and sterility replaced the impression of chic retro.
ELECTROLUX Quantum Series: Choosing a heater
The design of the walls catches the eye at once – a rich but noble red color with a geometric pattern reflecting the pattern of the tiles on the floor.
Unexpectedly, but this is wallpaper.
Why not? Modern materials are resistant to moisture and with normal ventilation in the bathroom will be an excellent and unusual alternative to tile.
Bright red color does not look obtrusive and tedious due to well thought-out lighting and noble, muted shade of wallpaper.
There are a lot of interesting details and solutions in the bathroom project.
Retro style wooden cabinets and open shelves for storing small items, which resonate with the teak floor in the shower cubicle, attract attention.
The wood supports the nostalgic atmosphere of nobility and brightness of the 50’s style, which the designer wanted to preserve, and at the same time makes the room look like a casket.
Another wonderful “highlight” of our bright bathroom – pictures with lambs on a dark background, funny and sophisticated at the same time.
The owner of the bathroom is lucky – it has a small window.
The additional light of a flexible lamp, reminiscent of a drafting or industrial lamp, is reflected in both mirrors – a large and a small pivoting one.
The lamp is easy to adjust and rotate, achieving the most comfortable position.
The decoration of the dressing table is not inferior to a real dressing room – there is even room for flowers from fans.
This is not to say that tiles have completely relinquished their position in the interior to wood and wallpaper – they play an important role.
Firstly, the floor tiles from the 50s with a “swirl” pattern, left over from an old renovation, are the starting point of the whole interior – the rhythm of their pattern is matched by the bright wallpaper.
Secondly, the restrained and modern white brick tiles in the shower area bring a fresh note of cleanliness and order.
And thirdly, the chocolate mosaic tiles used to decorate the small niches in the shower, convenient for storing small items, and the vertical stripe visually draws the space vertically and gives the interior a complete finishing touch.
