The bathroom today is no longer just the room dedicated to services, the place in which to express one’s physiological needs. The bathroom today is a room like any other, which contributes to the final appearance of the whole house, which must be furnished with style and taste, but which at the same time must also be functional. That’s right, because in addition to the necessary services, the bathroom is the environment in which you relax, indulge in moments with yourself, intimate and personal. So here’s how to reconcile aesthetics and functionality in bathroom furnishings.
How to design a bathroom
Let’s start from the beginning: what to consider when designing this room. Therefore, when designing a fundamental room of the house such as the bathroom, several factors must certainly be taken into consideration:
- The size of the room;
- How many people have to use the toilets;
- If it is the only bathroom in the house or if there are others;
- If it is a master or service bathroom.
Once the purpose and use have been established, we start from these considerations to give the bathroom a physiognomy, and therefore also to the distribution of spaces in the home. Whatever the peculiarity of your bathroom, there is a rule that is always valid: combining aesthetics and functionality in bathroom furnishings. Depending on the function of the bathroom we are furnishing, one of the two aspects can prevail over the other, but choices that take into account only practicality or vice versa, only beauty, are unlikely to be valid over time. Let’s see specifically what it means.
Bathroom aesthetics: for a design bathroom
For the aesthetics of the bathroom, it is certainly essential to opt for a designer bathroom.
The choice of sanitary ware greatly affects the aesthetic result of the furniture: a washbasin, a toilet and a bidet are not simply objects for daily hygiene, but also elements that can give harmony, elegance and pleasantness to the environment. The same goes for the bathtub or the shower tray that reproduce, in a small way in the home nest, the space dedicated to relaxation and body well-being that we find in the SPA. The design of the bathroom fixtures, the colors, the finishes and the accessories combined with them are then decisive in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere and in defining the inspiration for a specific style.
Modern master bathroom
Such high attention to details and aesthetic variables is even more valid if you are furnishing a master bathroom, that is, the main bathroom usually located near the master bedroom.
In the Flaminia product range there is a wide choice for furnishing a modern master bathroom. In fact, most of the Flaminia collections refer to this style and blend together an original design, a strong personality and attention to detail, without ever giving up the functionality of the product that is designed taking into account comfort and ergonomics.
Flaminia solutions: beautiful yes, but also functional
The bathroom fixtures signed by the Civita Castellana brand, for example, feature technological innovations that allow you to easily find solutions even where there are old systems (the Plus drain); there is little space (MiniApp and MiniLink, the toilet with integratedbidet); more hygiene is needed (GoClean); the cistern cannot be built-in or monobloc (Niagara). These characteristics therefore allow you to create a bathroom that is beautiful and functional at the same time.
Ideas for furnishing the guest bathroom
Another thing is the guest bathroom. Often used as a laundry room or guest bathroom, it is smaller in size and practicality in its design takes precedence over aesthetics. Here are some ideas for decorating the service bathroom:
- Insert storage units and shelves;
- Install mirrors with storage compartments;
- Opt for space-saving suspended sanitary ware or for the toilet / bidet;
- Choose washbasins with a comfortable tub that can also act as a basin.
