A “fusion” of styles and trends, harmoniously combined to create a unique and original atmosphere: such is the fusion style. The concept of fusion dates back to the 70’s, when it triggered a new movement in the United States, not only in interior design, but also in the arts. However, the fusion style only became widespread in the 90’s when it was associated with freedom of expression and creative energy. A fusion-style home furnishing project brings into play styles and trends ranging from ethnic to high-tech, with forays into the industrial, classical, modern and shabby chic genres. If the various styles are not carefully balanced, the resulting effect could be chaotic and inconsistent, so the real challenge lies in melding the various trends in a harmonious fashion.
A fusion bathroom
While the mixing and matching of different styles in the kitchen has been widely practised for some time, the bathroom has only recently been affected by this trend. To successfully create a fusion-style bathroom,the aim to pursue is that of balancing the various elements. The co-presence of classical and modern elements is one of the musts, so it is possible to flank neutral and modern sanitary ware with furnishings of a more traditional or retro appeal. The market also offers fusion-style bathroom furniture combining classical lines with ethnic decorations, designed in a contemporary key. Another mix that is particularly on trend involves the co-existence in one space of oriental-style or classical furnishings with sanitaryware characterized by pared-down lines and pure design, such as the collections from the Flaminia catalogue App, Astra, Monò and the Pass washbasins
