If you prefer modern and essential environments to the romance and vintage flavor of the shabby chic style, then Scandinavian style is for you. For the past few years, it has been one of the main trends in home furnishings, also highly appreciated by men, at the base of which there is basically a concept: minimalism. Few furnishings, but functional. So let’s find out how to decorate the bathroom in Nordic style.
Less is more: essentiality and minimalism
Minimalism, essentiality, rationality and comfort: these are the main adjectives that describe the Nordic-style bathroom furnishings in an almost perfect way. The wellness room becomes a place where simplicity and essentiality are a must: no excessively redundant forms or particularly harmonious lines. Order and cleanliness will reign supreme.
The sanitary facilities of the Nordic bath
The sanitary lines are square and, also in this case, the decorations leave room for the purity of the ceramic. All the details in the Nordic style furnishings are well thought out to allow maximum functionality: from sanitary ware to ceramics, up to the furnishings. The passwords? Practicality and facility of cleaning. Ideal for the bathroom furnished in Nordic style are the Monò and Nilelines, by Ceramica Flaminia.
Also get ready to say goodbye to the much loved bath-tub: better a more dynamic shower, for quick use. Alternatively, if the space available allows it, a not recessed bath-tub is an excellent idea, such as Wash – a bathtub with small dimensions and maximum comfort. An ideal solution that represents the right compromise is the Leggerabathtub-shower: with its large dimensions and particular shape, it resembles a handkerchief pulled by its edges.
The typical colors of the Scandinavian style bathroom
The typical colors of the Scandinavian style are neutral ones, with absolute white in the front row. However, decorating the entire room with this shade risks getting too cold. So, to make the room cozy and warm, you will have to play with different shapes and materials; alongside white other light shades such as the honey color of the wood, beige in all its shades, delicate nuances such as pastels or the different shades of gray and turtledove; enrich the rooms with green plants and other more dynamic furnishing accessories.
What materials to use in a Nordic style bathroom
The materials to be used to furnish a bathroom in perfect Scandinavian style are those that recall nature, first of all wood. Both painted white and in its roughest and most natural form, wood is the absolute protagonist of the Nordic bathroom. Not only as regards the furnishings, but also for walls and floors. Furthermore, ceramic or resin tiles are highly recommended for walls. Shelves, open shelves, cabinets, wicker basket for dirty laundry and plants will give the bathroom a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Lighting: the additional piece of furniture
Winter in the northern countries is very harsh and dark. For this reason, light represents a fundamental element of the Scandinavian style, even in the bathroom. The goal is therefore to create a very bright and welcoming environment. First of all, therefore, where possible try to make the most of natural light: avoid dark and heavy curtains and provide a large and large window. Where natural light does not reach, artificial light takes over: carefully plan the light points in order to avoid the creation of shaded areas.
