Classic style bathroom, 11 photo

Refinement, elegance and luxury are the three main criteria that define the classic decor in the interior. The apartment, the design of which is represented by classic elements of decoration, furniture and decor, will demonstrate not only the impeccable taste of the owners, but also their status. Especially popular is the use of this style in lavatories and bathrooms, since such an interior will definitely fail to translate into the average small Khrushchev, which means that a sufficient footage in combination with luxurious decoration will once again emphasize the viability tenants of the apartment. Let's try to understand what features a bathroom design has in a classic style, and consider a photo with the most successful options.

Since in each culture and in a particular country, the ideas about the classics differ, with the help of certain decorative elements this style can be given originality. If you do not want to tie the interior to national characteristics, it will be enough to adhere to common features and recommendations that distinguish the classic style from others.

Color scheme

Classicism in the interior distinguished by the use of mainly light, restrained and basic tones. Most often, the basis is white and shades close to it:

• lactic;
• ivory;
• light gray;
• beige;
• coffee with milk.

In addition, slightly brighter elements of pastel shades will look great in such an interior. They can highlight certain areas of the bathroom, use in furniture or decor.

Dark furniture with gilded elements will be an excellent contrast.

Gold is the most preferred coating for metal elements, because it fits perfectly into the atmosphere of luxury.

In this photo, the classic gained contrast thanks to the combination of bright white, beige and dark brown colors.

The right finishing materials

Choosing a color palette for the bathroom in the spirit of the classics, it is necessary at the same time to think over the materials for its decoration. The fact is that the classic involves the use of exclusively natural materials such as wood, natural stone, etc. The use of plastic, chrome coatings, a large amount of glass is unacceptable.

That is why the color scheme of a classic bathroom will be very calm and relaxing.

But not all apartments have the opportunity to use materials such as real marble or solid wood because of their high weight and price. For those who do not pursue high cost, an excellent option would be to imitate these materials with other, more modern and practical for bathrooms.

The walls in the photo of this bathroom are tiled, which does not stand out from the overall design of the room.

The most successful options for modern materials for a classic bathroom:

• Wall panels or self-leveling floors with wood imitation.
• Wall mosaic tile
• Stucco molding made of polyurethane or plastic.
• Decorative plaster, paint, wallpaper.
• Stretch ceiling.
• Plasterboard arches and pilasters made of modern materials.

It must be remembered that at first glance such details should not immediately look like imitation. Even when choosing a plastic stucco molding or wooden panels, they should be of the highest quality and fit perfectly into the classic style.

The choice of plumbing and furniture

Snow-white earthenware or acrylic sanitary ware characterized by strict lines and symmetry is the best option if you want to fit it into the design of a bathroom in a classic style. Faucets, shower hoses and other metal elements will look best in gold or bronze. Ultra-modern and futuristic objects in the classic design will not fit. In the case of a shower booth, it is best to choose an option with completely transparent walls and minimal fittings that are suitable for the color of the rest of the bathroom.

As for furniture, in the classic version it is customary to choose wooden cabinets, tables, cabinets, especially if the size of the room allows it. The same straight lines, ornate legs, gilded fittings. The color of the tree can be absolutely any, both light beige and deep brown.

The gilded legs of the bathroom, as in the photo, are one of the most recognizable features of classicism in the interior.

Another great trick is the use of furniture with marble surfaces or its imitation.

What should be the decor and lighting

Decor should not be in the classic bathroom too much. In general, the choice is almost unlimited - it can be like living plants, towels beautifully hung on dryers, elements of a national style. The stucco molding, arches, columns and carved frames on the mirrors fit perfectly into the interior.

A great option is to use some antique details. But with such decor you need to be careful if you do not want to turn the modern classic bathroom into a "grandmother" option.

Lighting can also carry a decorative function. For example, sconces hung on the walls, resembling candlesticks in shape, and the same chandelier.

As decorative elements, you can use screens, for example, carved from wood, or textile curtains. This will allow you to separate a certain area if the bathroom is large enough.

Most often, with the help of curtains, the bath itself is isolated. This photo also features decor in the form of a lamp, half-columns, arches and gilded fittings.

It is better to refuse hidden lighting or built-in lamps, as they are more suitable for modern styles. The classic solution is to place the lighting on the walls, but most often it suits such bathrooms, where there is natural light from the window. If there is not enough light, you need to add ceiling lights with bright light.

Basic rules for using classic decor in the interior

Now summarize all the nuances and tips given above:

• Compliance with clear, straight lines.
• Finishing the room in a single color scheme.
• Use of details of decor and decoration "antique".
• Observance of symmetry in the layout of the room.
• The choice of predominantly natural finishing materials or their high-quality imitation.
• The presence of a large window or the allocation of a specific area using a wall arch or pilasters.
