What is a beautiful interior? Everyone will answer this question differently. For some, beauty lies in the harmony of color and shape, for some in the abundance of expensive luxurious things, and someone thinks only a unique, unlike any other interior is beautiful.

That is why it is very difficult to give advice on creating a beautiful bathroom interior: a thing that one person thinks is beautiful, the other may not notice at all. Or will notice, but will decide that it is the ugliest thing in the world. But despite the ambiguity of the problem, we will try to collect and summarize tips and recommendations of designers concerning the beautiful decoration of spaces. We hope that they will help you to implement your ideas about beauty, and make not only a beautiful and stylish, but also comfortable and functional bathroom.

One of the key points in planning a bathroom renovation is the choice of finishing materials. For finishing walls and ceilings in the bathroom, the ideal material is tile or porcelain tile. These materials are resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations, they look great and have a huge variety of sizes, colors and textures.

Here are a few options for decorating the bathroom with tiles:

• In the corresponding interior will look very effective tiles, imitating wood or stone rocks.
• With a combination of dark and light tiles, you can create patterns that can visually correct the size of the room, such as vertical or horizontal stripes.
• One wall tiled with a bright, contrasting to the other three walls, can enliven the interior of the room and become a real decoration.
• A glossy tile will be an additional reflective element, unlike a matte one, which absorbs light. Owners of small or dark bathrooms is better to opt for this option of finishing.
• The highlight of the bathroom can become a wall panel of tiles. You can buy it in a store, order a personalized panel with your picture or make it yourself by the mosaic method, using fragments of tiles, porcelain dishes, bright stones, etc.

The best solution for finishing the ceilings in the bathroom are stretch ceilings. They not only create a completely flat surface, but also protect the room from flooding from the neighbors from above. Glossy ceilings make the walls visually higher. This effect will be stronger if the wall decoration uses a vertical pattern and the room has a lot of light sources.

The choice of finishing materials is usually followed by the choice of sanitary equipment. Its number depends on the size of the room and on your financial capabilities. As a minimum, it is a bath or shower cabin and a sink, in a combined bathroom to this set is added and a toilet bowl. When choosing sanitary ware, you must pay attention to the materials from which it is made. Not only durability, but also the appearance of the product depends on the materials used.

Finishing with natural marble will make your room unforgettable.

You can choose a natural stone with a pronounced texture or any pattern. Such a bathroom loudly declares itself and certainly will not go unnoticed.

From an aesthetic point of view, bathroom fixtures made of sanitary ware, acrylic, kvaril, as well as artificial or natural marble win.

Transparent glass sinks and bathtubs have recently become very popular.

In addition to standard shapes and configurations of sanitary equipment, there are many interesting and original novelties in stores. For example, monolithic sinks and toilets in the form of huge vases, vintage bathtubs on curved decorative legs, shower cabins with a section for a sauna and much more.

Of course, the bathroom can be decorated neutrally and not belong to any of the popular style trends. However, the interior, which contains a certain idea, always looks much more interesting.

The chosen style can be a memory of a summer vacation, a favorite era or a genre in art.

Consider a few, the most popular styles in the design of the bathroom.

For the basis of the classic design Bathrooms can be based on the Empire style, which has its origins in antiquity, the Baroque, Gothic and others. A classic interior always has high ceilings, marble surfaces, carved wooden furniture, paintings, statues, in general, everything that embodies our idea of ancient European palaces.

Oriental interior can be different. Its design depends primarily on the country that became the source of inspiration. The Japanese style is characterized by black, white and red color combinations, strict lines and a minimum of furniture. Moroccan style, on the contrary, implies an abundance of various decorations, decorative elements, patterns, a combination of rich, bright colors, for example, turquoise and gold.

Country style, it is also called rural or rustic, allows you to find an application for the old things found in grandmother's coffers. Simple wooden furniture, chintz curtains with a floral pattern, knitted striped mats - all this you can safely use in the design of the bathroom in the country style. Give preference to natural, natural colors. To finish the walls and floor it is better to use tiles that mimic the rough untreated wood. Very much to the point will be wooden beams on the ceiling.

Fusion is a modern style.Fusion is a modern style that is a mix of elements of different styles. It is often called "a combination of the incongruous". The bathroom, decorated in this style, can consist of things that belong to different eras. However, do not be overly enthusiastic in the search for deliberately eclectic combinations. Despite the call for experimentation, fusion style presupposes creation of beautiful and harmonious interiors.

Universal style, suitable for bathrooms of any size. Includes elements of "light" design. It is characterized by a minimal presence of furniture and creates a sense of spaciousness. Often contrasting color combinations are used to create a spectacular design.

If you are the lucky owner of a spacious bathroom, you will be able to avoid many of the problems faced by owners of standard three-meter adjacent bathrooms.

For example, you don't have to choose between a bathtub and a shower, and you can take advantage of both. You can use any color you like. Even an abundance of black is not forbidden!

Having extra square meters allows you to get away from the task of saving space and allow you to choose the sanitary ware and furniture that you want, rather than the one that will take up less space. In addition, in addition to the usual set: bath, sink and toilet, you can buy other sanitary ware. For example, a bidet - a thing not necessary, but very convenient.

So, what does the modern market of sanitary ware offer to owners of spacious bathrooms? In the first place, of course, it's bathtubs. Forget about standard bathtubs, in which a person of average height can hardly fit. You can opt for a huge round bathtub with hydro-massage, like in a Hollywood movie. Or install the bathtub on a podium, to which a gentle staircase leads. Or, which is more feasible in your own home than in a city apartment, to install it in the floor, like a swimming pool.

Nowadays it is fashionable, besides standard sanitary furniture like cabinets and nightstands, to put armchairs, sofas and even beds in the bathroom, creating a real relaxation zone.

And how wonderful it is to relax while taking a bath looking at the fireplace. Pure bliss!

In decorating the interior of a small bathroom, the most important thing is to use the space rationally. Here we will be helped by corner models of sanitary ware - bathtubs and sinks. However, it is better to refuse from the bathtub at all, replacing it with a shower cabinet or a corner. They only help to save extra square meter, on which you can install, for example, a washing machine, but they look just great.

Special models of sanitary ware are developed for small bathrooms. In stores you will find sinks, under which you can install a washing machine, hanging toilets and more.

Another task is to organize the storage of things. There is not always room for a variety of shelves and cabinets, and what is there is often not enough. For this purpose, you can use the space that is usually not used in any way. For example, you can install a beautiful sliding screen under the bathtub or organize a storage system behind the toilet. Visually expand the space by using lighter colors in the finishing of the walls, floor and ceiling.

Various interesting accessories will definitely help you in creating a finished interior. Buy them based on the chosen style. Rugs, towels, curtains, hooks, soap dishes, towel holders - all this should harmonize with each other not only in color, but also in style. Harmonize - this does not mean to be the same, it means to make a beautiful and effective combination.

In decorating the interior of the bathroom, you can use things that are not associated in our minds with the bathroom and as if they came from other rooms of the house. For example, fluffy poufs, paintings, figurines, flowers in pots or in vases. It looks very unexpected and brings comfort to the room.

Before you start repairing, draw a plan of your future bathroom, think about the style and key elements. Pay attention to unusual modern sanitary ware - perhaps it will be the main accent in your beautiful bathroom?

To make the design of your bathroom really beautiful, first of all think about what:

• It is important to choose the right color scheme. For a small bathroom, lighter tones will do, but expressive natures can afford to bring bright accents, such as mosaic panels, into the small room. For a spacious room, you can use dark or bright colors, experimenting with different color combinations.
• Choosing finishing materials, you should also take into account the size of the room. The larger the bathroom, the larger should be the tiles and the pattern on it.
• The different functional areas can be designated by choosing for each zone a different color and organizing for them a separate lighting.
• If you are not satisfied with ready-made design solutions, try to decorate the bathroom with your own hands. You can paint the walls with waterproof paints, make a mosaic panel or decorate a glass sink using the technique of "decoupage".
• Pay attention to new, ergonomic models of bathroom fixtures and furniture. They are not only comfortable and functional, but are often real works of design art.
