Photo of the 100 most beautiful bathrooms

Beauty is, first of all, harmony, causing positive emotions, giving aesthetic pleasure. Our ideas about it change with fashion and development of new technologies. But still the basic concepts remain unchanged.

For example, what is a beautiful bathroom ? Why do we like the interior of one room, and another seems uncomfortable and creates a feeling of psychological discomfort?

Aesthetic requirements for bathrooms

• Ergonomics. A room cluttered with furniture, which is difficult to move around and you have to wiggle to wash, bathe, tidy up or wash the necessary things, is unlikely to seem beautiful to us. And, conversely, rationally organized space usually looks attractive, «friendly» to a person.
• Excerpted style. In order to combine heterogeneous furnishings into a single ensemble requires the skill of an experienced designer. It is much easier to buy furniture, bathroom fixtures and accessories of the same stylistic direction, then a beautiful bathroom we are provided.

• Color combinations. Excessive motley or monochrome equally negatively affect our perception. It is recommended to use for the design of the room no more than 3 — 4 shades. If the interior is kept in one color, you should make a few contrasting accents to «revive» it. This can be an apron in the shower, textiles, a mirror in an unusual frame, lamps and so on.

Usually, bathrooms try to keep in a light color scheme, which is due to the small size of this room. If the preference is given to bright colors, it is worth remembering their psychological impact on the person. So, purple shades can cause depression, and red — excessive aggressiveness. Black color is necessarily complemented with neutral tones, otherwise the room will look gloomy.

• Details. Original, tastefully selected accessories make up the «highlight» of a beautiful bathroom . But it is important to keep the measure, so that the abundance of small details does not cause a sense of chaos or untidiness. The more spacious the room, the more decorative items can be used. But small bathrooms should not be overloaded with accessories.

• Quality of materials. An attempt to save money in this case will turn against us. Budget methods of finishing or second-rate furniture — the pledge of repeated remodeling and sloppy look of the bathroom. Is it up to beauty here, when poorly glazed tiles fade and get covered with scum, chipboard cabinets delaminate from water, and paint falls from the ceiling?

• Texture play. In spacious bathrooms it is desirable to use different types of finishes: tiles, waterborne paints, wallpaper, natural wood. This will create pleasant visual contrasts and help to diversify the design.
