Art Deco bathroom: design rules and beautiful examples

Art Deco is one of the most luxurious styles of interior design, reflecting the wealth of the owner of the apartment and his impeccable taste. Often, a similar concept is embodied in the interior of the bathroom. At the same time, it is important to correctly design such a room so that the style looks appropriate and at the same time does not interfere with the functional components of the bathroom.

Many people do not know what exactly art deco is, how it can be embodied in the bathroom with the help of finishes and plumbing, and what accessories will complement such a concept in an advantageous way. The answers to these and other questions will be presented in detail in this article.

The art deco concept first appeared in France and has long been popular in the field of interior design. She has a number of unique features that distinguish her from other directions.

• Indoors, natural materials are used, the cost of which is usually quite high. It can be solid wood, silver, ivory.
• In the outlines of the interior, preference is given to the dominance of sharp corners, as well as lines with a curved bend.
• In Art Deco, one should not neglect ornaments associated with the plant world.
• Tones for such a room are chosen mainly from a restrained range, which includes white, black, gray, purple, beige.
• An abundance of mirrors are welcome in a room with an Art Deco concept.
• This trend does not exclude the presence of patterns that are often compared with African or South American ethnic ornaments.
• In the style, you can see such details as the image of the rays of the sun, as well as motifs that follow the outlines of the piano keys.

To combine bathroom functions with design, it is necessary to pay special attention to the selection of suitable plumbing products, as well as some pieces of furniture that are appropriate in the bathroom.

The size of the furniture, which are usually cabinets or cabinets, depends on the parameters of the bathroom. To decorate a large room in the art deco style, you can pick up massive chests of drawers and arrange them along the entire length of one of the walls. Wherein the design of such furniture does not have to be simple.

If possible it should be diversified with a beautiful stone countertop, graceful handles and beautifully shaped taps. If the room is small, then you can choose a table under the sink, made of natural solid wood, or place the sink on the countertop, trimmed with suitable tiles.

Plumbing can be either close to the classic options or more modern. The dimensions of the bathroom are important, which can have an oval, rectangular or even square shape with pointed edges.

If there is a toilet in the bathroom, then it must be a model, the body of which is attached to the wall. The color of the sanitary ware is preferably white. The best materials that reflect the concept will be such as sanitary ware and acrylic. If the size of the bathroom allows, additional furniture can be installed in it. This may include a wardrobe for storing various little things, as well as an armchair.

It is also worth paying attention to the various accessories and details. There shouldn't be too many of them... The presence of paintings corresponding to the style is acceptable (provided that there is no pattern on the walls), as well as living plants. You should also not neglect the presence of mirrors.... They can be located either on the wall near the sink, or directly built into the furniture body.

The first nuance in decorating an Art Deco bathroom will be the choice of color. Best suited for this concept a combination of two contrasting shades, one of which is dark, the other is light. A classic example would be the alliance of black and white, but you could also use a combination like champagne and dark chocolate. Instead of charcoal black, you can opt for a dark gray, which will make the various patterns more visible.

Moreover, often, if the size of the bathroom allows it, it is the dark shade that is dominant. Tiles (or even moisture-resistant wallpapers) are rarely monochromatic, especially if the material has a dark color. On it you can see bizarre stains and drawings.

The following options are used as the main materials for finishing in such a bathroom.

• A natural stone. Its appearance justifies the high price of the material. Such a coating looks very aesthetically pleasing, while it adds luxury to the room, thereby perfectly reflecting the idea of ​​style. Stone cladding is usually found on the bathroom floor or wall.

• Silkscreen wallpaper are also one of the most sought-after options for art deco. They look especially beautiful in dark colors. However, it is worth remembering that wallpaper in the bathroom is not always the best solution due to the rather high level of humidity in the room.

• Tile material is mainly used for ceiling covering... At the same time, the colors are neutral and do not contrast with the rest of the trim shades. The ceiling in such a bathroom is often framed with embossed skirting boards.

An Art Deco bathroom can be decorated in a variety of ways. Among the most beautiful and unusual examples are the following.

• Mirror frame can look like a real work of art, especially if it echoes the pattern on the shower stall.

• Basic wallpaper pattern in the art deco style can be duplicated in the decoration of other sections of the walls, giving integrity to the entire interior.

• The black and white design of such a bathroom will not look boring, if we dilute this contrast with golden ornaments in furniture facades.

• If your bathroom has a window, then for art deco it should be decorated curtains made of flowing opaque fabric with a special sheen.
