Minimalist Bathroom Designs: What It Takes To Play

Minimalist Bathroom Designs: What It Takes To Play

The clean and polished look of a simple, yet fully functional restroom is often the goal of many who desire a modern, contemporary look throughout their home.

By just why is this look so alluring?

The calm, basic colors and natural themes for one, do tend to provide a zen-like feeling. And wall-mounted spacing units, a common feature in minimalist restrooms, offer more possibilities for layout and enough elbow room for everyone.

It could also come down to the mainstream images we take in from magazine covers and retail showrooms. Minimal is in, and our hearts have embraced it. But most importantly, as the old saying goes ?less is more.? The less the clutter, the less the fuss, and the more you get to enjoy your private space.

The Key Players In Any Minimalist Design Restroom:

Wall-Mounted Everything

The idea here is simple. Save space, free up room to do what you have to, feel less restricted, and love your bathroom.

We know that'some things are traditionally wall-mounted, like mirrors and cabinets, but taking on a freestanding basin vanity, for instance, is definitely new and exciting-and not as expensive as you may think.

Wall-mounted vanity units with the basin included, will cost you about 200 euro, 100 more than traditional vanities but well worth the extra change. Many of the wall-mounted units are perfectly designed for a sleek, modern look and generally come in compact sizes to fit into small spaces.

Also other things that you may consider mounting are tall side cabinets. They provide ample space for all your toiletries while still lending to the minimalist mindset. If placed alongside a matching wall-mounted vanity for instance, they?ll likely only stick out as much as the vanity and still provide space underneath for a beautiful floating appearance.

Natural Concepts

Minimal often means back to the basics and can sometimes signify a general connection to nature. This usually comes in the form of neutral colors, rich earthy tones, wood finishes and grass and stone accents.

Primarily when furnishing or equipping a restroom, this may mean selecting wood vanities, shelves, or shower benches, as well as stone basins. An open shower with proper drainage or frameless shower enclosures is also a nice touch for an open, natural feel.

Minus The Trimmings

Another cornerstone of the minimalist design is elegance without all the fuss; simple cuts and curves, beautiful to the eye but free of distraction. No extra molding, or grand handles here, but just what you need to function.

And this design concept does thankfully lend easily to many of the bathroom pieces found with contemporary retailers. They are often structures that have their own elegance without all the ornamentation.

Likewise, even without resembling a royal sweet, no fuss designs still have a way of allowing for personality and flair. Useful considerations for adding a ?touch of you? to a minimalist design would be to add a scene or pattern to a single wall panel or opt for one piece of wall decoration such as a tasteful picture or wall decal.
