Furnishing a home means choosing from a range of possibilities. One of the most common doubts is between the classic and the modern style, with the latter becoming increasingly popular and appreciated. Those who do not want to do without the warm and refined elegance of the classic style, and prefer pure and minimalist lines find the contemporary style very interesting.

Contemporary bathroom: classic but not exceedingly so

A perfect compromise between classic and modern styles, the contemporary style bathroom is refined and reassuring, but not traditional. The stylistic features of classical architecture are re-elaborated to go well in a modern setting.

For those who want to create an elegant bathroom, the contemporary style is the ideal solution. It is not easy to find the right mix between classic furnishing elements and the latest design trends, but if you choose timeless materials, such as marble and wood, neutral colours and essential shapes, you can’t go wrong.

So many ways to be contemporary

The contemporary style is a compromise between two extremes, and going neo-classical means taking great care in the choice of materials, colours and fittings.

In order not to go all-in with a classic contemporary bathroom or a modern contemporary bathroom it is important to keep in mind that the aim is to mix the two eras and it is up to the interior decorator and designer to balance the elements belonging to the two styles.

To steer clear of stylistic errors and achieve a well-balanced design, it is best to choose natural materials, single-colour chromatic choices in shades of grey and white, and adopt a sober approach not without elements and accessories reminiscent of classic style and luxury.

The result will be an elegant contemporary bathroom with a soft, relaxing and luxurious feel.

Sanitaryware should have pure, neutral lines and the most appropriate colour is classic glossy white or milk white. In the Flaminia catalogue, the soft lines of the App or the refined Astra series are ideal for a modern contemporary environment, while the sanitary ware and the washbasins in the Madre collection itself lend themselves perfectly to revisiting the classic in a modern vein. Even the Boll, Fonte e Settecento washbasins combined with the sanitary ware from the Flaminia collections provide a touch of elegance and classic refinement without risking an overly pompous effect.
