Typical of Southern Europe, North Africa and all the Countries bordering the Mediterranean, the style that takes its name from this sea is characterised by decor and colours evoking the marine environment and the culture of this geographical area.  If you are looking for ideas to furnish your bathroom, the Mediterranean style is perfect, and even in the city this trend brings with it an oasis of mental diversion and relaxation.

Mediterranean coverings
Mediterranean style bathroom tiles are often decorated with arabesque motifs or patterns reminiscent of traditional Sicilian ceramics and mosaics. For floor and wall coverings in general, marble, natural stone or ceramic tiles are to be preferred.

The must-have colours are: white, typical of Mediterranean architecture, where it is used to reflect light; blue and marine hues, or intense yellow and orange, which evoke the colours of the sun. Ceramic may be painted, like the ceramic articles produced along the Amalfi Coast, or lacquered according to the Portuguese and Arab tradition.

Sanitaryware, washbasins
Furnishings and accessories should also be in harmony with the Mediterranean style chosen for the bathroom: you can opt for a more modern, contemporary or classic atmosphere in keeping with the rest of the house. Playing with the colours of sanitary ware can also make a difference.

In a Mediterranean style bathroom with a classic quality it is almost inevitable to stick with white, or perhaps milk white, but when you go for a modern style there is no such rule, and you can have toilets, bidets and washbasins the colours of the sea or the colour of the sand.

Among Flaminia’s products that go well with this style, we definitely find the Boll washbasin, in its oval and round versions. This washbasin brings to mind the traditional basins of the past. If you want to add a classic touch, a freestanding Bonola washbasin, or one from the Efi collections are just perfect. Even the new Spire+ washbasin with relief decor evoking the organic shape of a shell may  serve as the distinguishing design element.

Even for the wcs, if you opt for classic decor, Efi is the solution proposed by Flaminia, while Bonola and Fluo, with their soft lines reminiscent of natural elements, may be the perfect addition to a Mediterranean style bathroom.

Bathtub and shower system
For the bathtub and the shower you can unleash your imagination and create fun, decorative effects.   

Compared with the shower, the bathtub is a better embodiment of the idea of relaxation, redolent of the sea and the holiday time this style draws inspiration from. If there is enough room in your bathroom, a bathtub is to be preferred.

The App model, with its rounded shape,  is easily coordinated with pieces from the modern and contemporary collections described in the Flaminia catalogue. The bathtub in Pietraluce can be had in a choice of colours: Blue, Ultramarine, Sand and Beige, and two finishes, Clay and Milk white. For those who value classic elegance, the choice is the glossy white Evergreen bathtub.

If space is tight, the shower is a good alternative, offering fun opportunities to characterise an environment with mosaic tiles or decorations. The Water Drop, with its relief evoking the ripples of sea waves, in its various colours – Nuvola, Clay or Sand – or in the classic glossy white version, brings to mind the marine atmospheres of this style.
