Contrasting plumbing, geometric tiles, and other techniques will diversify the interior and not make it sterile.
A white bathroom is a stylish and versatile solution for a wide variety of styles. However, without interesting details and color accents, the interior may turn out to be too boring – we tell you about the techniques that will not allow this.
1. Contrast taps
The all-white finish of the bathroom can be diluted with other elements of contrasting colors. For example, black plumbing is a new classic. It looks restrained, but always attracts attention and is able to break the monotonous canvas of a completely white bathroom. Do not be afraid of caring for black taps: if you wipe off water drops in a timely manner, then streaks will not remain.
Metal-colored plumbing fixtures are another stylish option. For example, brass and copper have been a trend for quite some time. At the same time, such elements will not create too sharp a contrast – in case you want a softer, calmer atmosphere in the bathroom without the involvement of black.
2. Color Block
You can decorate a bathroom in the style of a color block both at the stage of renovation and later, when you suddenly want to make changes to the interior.
If white is the main color, then the color blocks can be of any other shades. Juicy — if you are not afraid of brightness in a limited space (and you shouldn’t be afraid of it!), pastel — if you want neutrality. Do not forget that in the bathroom, the walls are not in the wet area can be covered with paint, and even ceramic tiles can be repainted if desired. So if you want to diversify the ready-made white bathroom, there are no obstacles in front of you.
3. Combination with natural materials and natural shades
It is possible to add color variety to the bathroom design without resorting to paint and color elements. A more natural effect will be obtained if you dilute the white with natural colors and materials. Brown can be introduced with the help of wooden furniture (a rack or a cabinet under the sink), beige – through jute and rattan baskets, different shades of green – by placing several plants.
4. Shapes and Geometry
You can also set the necessary accents in the bathroom with the help of shape rather than color. Firstly, unusual elements will create a cool effect: a mirror of a non-standard silhouette or a panel of several, a combination of two or three types of tiles of different shapes and sizes, even just textiles with a rhythmic pattern. Secondly, a play of shapes can be created from a combination of the most ordinary things. For example, a small mosaic on the wall, a large rectangular mirror, a round rug – elements with simple geometry that together will create the dynamics necessary in a monochromatic space.
5. Semantic Allocation of Zones
An interesting trick is to leave almost the entire room snow-white, visually highlighting only one area in it. The most obvious solution seems to be working with a wet area, where the shower or bathtub is located. If you clearly highlight it with color, then this small area itself will become a bright accent in relation to the rest of the interior. In the same way, you can do the same with the sink or storage areas, if it is quite voluminous (more than one cabinet). Colored tiles, bright grout, gloss or matte (as opposed to the rest of the room), interesting accents in the form of lamps, fittings or posters, colored furniture – you can either choose one method or mix several.
