Scandinavian bathroom design ideas

The Scandinavian style celebrates laconicism and simplicity, in which the most important feature of the home interior is preserved - comfort. The feeling of comfort, warmth, security is visible in every scandi room. The Scandinavian-style bathroom is no exception.

Scandinavian style has become a new classic. This is functionality at its best and the possibility of creating a cozy nest both in a small apartment and in a spacious house, which runs the risk of looking deserted and scattered in design.... It takes risks, but not in the case of the reconciling scandi.

Style traits that fall in love once and for all.

1. White color. Anywhere he can be cold, "sterile", aloof, but not in the Scandinavian aesthetics. In it, the white color is so accurately and skillfully shaped with colors and shades-partners, so complemented by wood and the desired texture that nothing but “cozy”, “fresh”, “light” comes to mind in association with white.
2. Lots of light... The climate of the countries that gave this style to the world cannot boast of an abundance of sun. Therefore, the maximum illumination of space strikes gloomy everyday life. Fewer curtains and other curtains, more light sources, openness to daylight and adherence to the choice of artificial light - these are the postulates of the style.
3. Natural is a priority. Less plastic, more wood, textiles. Instead of stretch ceilings - painting, instead of plastic shelves - wooden, instead of nylon rugs - "grandmother's" patchwork.
4. Simple geometry. Furniture should be functional and ergonomic, and if we are talking about a bathroom, then instead of an elaborate mixer and complex shapes, a clear design “for centuries” is chosen. Excessive decor is replaced only with the necessary, visually pleasing and useful.
5. Love for plants... Greenery enlivens the interior, gives it naturalness and dynamics. And there is also a place for greenery in the bathroom, the main thing is to pick up plants that will take root in the microclimate of this zone. This "warms up" the bathroom interior very much.
6. Expressiveness of accessories... The abundance of little things is not about scandi. There can indeed be a lot of accessories, but each is in place and each has its own history. They should be in harmony in the bathroom space, make up its visual history.
7. Moderation... In this style, it is always better to understate than to overdo it. Space and light are a priority, but the ability to always change and rearrange something you must keep in mind.

It seems that the answer should be unambiguous - only white. But this is not the case. Besides the triumph of white, you have a few more interesting options.

• Gray + wood... A surprisingly cozy and warming option perfect for a small bathroom.

• Blue, gray-blue. A commonly used style color that is best diluted a little with white.

• Gray brown. Needs light color support too, but definitely good on accent wall.

The bathroom can be small and very small, but the area is 3 or 4 square meters. m is enough to create a characteristic Scandinavian design. Wood-look ceramic tiles can be a great idea. This is a fashionable option, which is definitely not tired and has not lost its relevance. Such a wall will decorate a small bathroom, make it cozy and visually change the perception of a narrow or tiny room.

Finishing options:

• tiles for white bricks (including "hog");
• tiles with a monochrome pattern;
• wood-like tiles, which are laid with an offset (like parquet or laminate);
• floor decoration with wood-like tiles.

Bulky, massive furniture with decorative detailing will not become the property of style either. It will look pretentious and strange in a Scandinavian bathroom. Simple geometry, natural materials, ergonomics, modest dimensions - this is what the choice of furniture requires. You can take a closer look at the modules, as well as shelving, which you can assemble yourself from standard parts.

Plumbing should be of high quality and not resonate with the overall finish of the space. If, for example, you have tiles that make your bathroom look like the 70s, then the toilet and bathtub should not be too futuristic against this background (that is, everything should be in the spirit of the same time). Take a closer look at wall-mounted toilets: it is ergonomic, fashionable and modern.

One ceiling light source will not only be small, but very small. Spotlights remain a good choice, but they play the role of central lighting, and local lighting is also needed. Therefore, the lamps surrounding the mirror above the sink will be very useful. It will be great if there is room in the bathroom for candles (you can place candlesticks in convenient places, which will later "accept" scented candles).

What accessories are appropriate in a Scandinavian bathroom:

• green plants (artificial ones are also possible);
• warm small textile rugs, pleasant to the touch;
• wicker baskets for cosmetics, towels;
• retro bucks;
• pictures - any that do not go beyond the style and color of the bathroom, the main thing is that they evoke warm emotions in you;
• candlestick-lantern;
• a large wicker basket that can also serve as a changing chair;
• curtain with recognizable Scandinavian prints.

The most eloquent arguments are examples. In the photo you can see how the design is thought out as a whole and how its little things are organized, you can try on the author's idea for your own bathroom. Finally, the photos inspire and call to do away with theory and move on to practice - repair.

12 beautiful Scandinavian-style bathrooms.

• If you have a walk-in shower, here's an example of how boring a small bathroom can look. Great color combinations, appropriate use of a checkerboard pattern, two sinks and two mirrors - a very smart idea for a not the smallest family. And pay attention to the lighting - it's not quite traditional here.

• It seems that everything is simple in this version.... But this is a Scandinavian classic that does not become boring and does not become outdated. Everything is modest, laconic and could even be ascetic if the owners had not revived the interior with a ladder-dryer and a green tree in a vase. The mat complements the natural decor.

• Graphic and wood - all this is perfectly combined against a reconciling white background. Such a bathroom can be a compromise if the husband and wife cannot agree on the design of the bathroom. An excellent option for an elongated room. Pay attention to the light above the large mirror, the shelf above the sink is functional and fits well into this area.

• Ode to gray square tiles. This is also a Scandinavian style, and in combination with white and wood, it looks very organic. Suitable for both small and large rooms. And if you want to visually expand the space, include more mirrored surfaces in it.

• The window in the bathroom is an advantageous feature of the room... And if the footage allows, then the bathroom can be like this: cozy, light, a little vintage. Checkerboard tiles on the floor lend credibility to the retro style, while white connects it with modern bathroom concepts.

• Graphic interior in the best Scandi traditions... Light, spacious, cozy and intimate - everything is as it should be in a bathroom. A cabinet with a mirrored door will be an excellent solution to visually increase the space. Green plants are appropriate where they will not hinder your actions.

• White + gray + beige. The bathroom turned out to be very warm and cozy. The concept of the scandi room here is simply textbook: there are textiles, greenery, candles, and simplicity of forms. And most importantly, such repairs can be called budgetary.

• Scandinavian minimalism. If you want your eyes not to get tired of the abundance of colors, shapes, decor in the bathroom, this whiteness will be an excellent solution.

• A bit of Scandinavian noir. The theme is fashionable and designers are playing with it today in every way. And although the room may seem a little dark, it retains coziness, sufficient illumination, and a feeling of warmth and comfort. Those who are tired of white should take a closer look at this option.

• And this is a picture of an ideal bathroom for those who do not at all like minimalism and want an interior in which life itself is felt. The bathroom is spacious, with a window, but such a layout is not uncommon in a private house.

• If the theme of decor, in which wood dominates, especially seduces you, take inspiration from such interiors. It is fashionable, cozy, stylish and not trivial at all.

• A small bathroom doesn't have to be boring. The roll call of the floor covering and curtains in the bathroom is a great attempt to divert attention from the modest footage. Budget renovation in elegant solutions - all according to Scandinavian principles.
