With its delicate and romantic atmosphere, shabby chic decor is very much in vogue and has been used more and more widely in recent years. Muted colours, classic references, natural materials make a shabby chic bathroom into an intimate, relaxing environment.
Materials and colours
Muted pastel colours, such as wisteria, beige, ecru, dove grey, pearl, powder pink and lavender, should be preferred for a shabby chic style bathroom. But if your shabby chic bathroom is small, your best choice is classic white or a combination of white and coloured walls.
Natural is the watchword when it comes to materials. Wood is the shabby style materials par excellence, especially in its light tone variants, such as durmast, birch and oak. Another variant that is ideally suited for this style is decapé wood, i.e., wood lightened by bleaching. Another alternative to natural wood is provided by matt lacquered furniture featuring retro style colours, such sage green, peach, cream. Not recommended for shabby style bathroom furnishings are glossy finishes and ultra modern solutions.
Sanitary ware and …. definitely a bathtub.
In a shabby bathroom, the toilet bowl and the washbasin should definitely evoke a classic style. Oftentimes, even a shabby style washbasin console will call to mind the decor of classic or noble bathrooms, even when it consists of a simple wooden or metal structure.
Among Flaminia’s collections, perfectly on the mark for this style are Efi wall-hung and floor-standing WCs and the Fidia console washbasin with its metal structure and gold, chrome or white finishes, or the Boll countertop basin with romantic appeal.
Every shabby bathroom worthy of its name cannot do without the ultimate element dedicated to relaxation: the bathtub. A shabby bathroom with a shower can only be permitted when space is tight and there is no room to fit a tub.
With its four brass claw feet, the Evergreen bathtub styled by Flaminia and the accessories and furnishing complements from the same line are just perfect for a shabby chic bathroom.
