Have you ever wondered why having a stone-effect bathroom is so fashionable? Natural elements are ideally suited to make a room warm, welcoming, relaxing and at the same time stylish.

In recent years, as a result of greater environmental awareness, in architecture and design, we are witnessing a new appreciation for materials and finishes that are evocative of nature, and the bathroom is the main target of this trend.

In addition to making use of eco-sustainable materials, the choice of natural finishes and colours is also part of this green approach. Of all natural elements, stone is the material that is used most widely, on a par with wood. Creating a bathroom made of natural materials and colours so as to achieve a stone effect is recommended for those who want to conjure up a spa-like atmosphere, promoting psychophysical wellbeing and relaxation. Just picture yourself entering a bathroom with predominantly natural colours, in shades of brown, sand and grey: just the sight of it will make you feel better. To recreate this atmosphere in your bathroom without having to undertake extensive restructuring works, you can focus on the finishes and colours of the sanitary ware and furnishings.

Imagine, for instance, installing in your bathroom sanitary ware from the Fluo collection, whose organic shapes seem to have been smoothed by water, in the colours Argilla, Fango, Latte or Cenere, and placing in the mirror/washbasin area, between stone-effect walls, a washbasin from the same collection combined with Cubika furniture in Fokos Sale or Fokos Terra stoneware finishes: in a second you will feel as if you are no longer in a bathroom in your flat but in a wellness centre. The shower area is also a key factor, and while the wall tiles play a role, matching them with the right shower tray makes all the difference. From among the Flaminia models, a great choice can be the Water Drop model, with its non-slip ceramic relief that brings to mind the ripples of the waves, and a choice of colours, Mud, Clay and Ash, designed to blend in perfectly with the colours of stone. Another good choice is the CM3 Stone showertray with stone-effect relief texture in matt Ivory or Grey versions.

In several collections Flaminia also offers a range of matt finishes, Fango, Argilla, Cenere and Latte, that are perfect for this type of environment.
