If in your bathroom you want to recreate the enchanting atmosphere of a faraway place, all you have to do is rely on ethnic decor. The definition of ethnic decor, though, applies to many different styles, depending on the geographic area from which it draws inspiration. We go from eastern minimalism to the lavish decorations of the Arab world, or the garish colours of India.
Sanitary ware and shower area
Ethnic bathroom decor definitely prefers toilet bowls and washbasins featuring matt finishes and natural colours, such as Latte (Milk white), Argilla (Clay), Fango (Mud brown) and Cenere (ash grey), as an alternative to the classical glossy white.
Among Flaminia models, we may consider the Fluo sanitary ware collection styled by young designer Niccolò Adolini, with their organic, sinuous forms, and the Flag collection in a matt Stripes version (Latte (Milk white) + Carbone (coal black), Argilla (Clay)+ Fango (Mud brown), Fango (Mud brown)+ Carbone (coal black)).
The best choice for the shower area is a freestanding tub, with a large round basin, such as Fontana, or a zen-style modular shower tray such as Tatami, as opposed to a built in tub or a traditional shower tray.
Importance of furniture and accessories
For the furnishings, the imperative is to choose finishes that call to mind natural materials such as stone and wood. Flaminia proposes a wide choice of ethnic decor bathroom furnishings:
– The collection of Box cabinets with Ok Arly finish, in honey tones and with wood veins;
– Forty6 Pietraluce shelves, in a choice of matt colours Argilla, Carbone, Cenere and Latte; a wall-mounted solution with great visual impact.
The elements that will give character to a bathroom for an ethnic or an ethnic chic decor surely include accessories and decorative objects. The round mirror Madre or the square mirror App in a matt black version can be harmoniously integrated into an ethnic style environment, whilst for taps and fittings, the satin-finished X1 and the matt black Nokè lines are the ideal choice.
Coverings and objects to define a style
To define a style, details are what makes the real difference: we are thinking of the objects that can contextualise the furniture: wooden, bamboo or stone containers, and decorative elements evoking distant destinations. Even the choice of textiles, carpets and towels, in a choice of colours and fabrics, helps give an exotic touch to the environment.
As for coverings, an interesting contribution to an ethnic style bathroom decor is provided by the colour combinations and geometric patterns that may be created with tiles. Ceramic tiles should be preferred over resin and other materials: when ornamented with elements and decorations evoking a place, they serve as a perfect backdrop for an ethnic bathroom.
