Red bath: pros and cons, color combinations, examples

Bright colors - a "strong" and expressive design technique. You can use it in the bathroom. However, one must know how to do this correctly and what mistakes can be made.

The design standards for residential and utility rooms are constantly changing. What until recently seemed an unthinkable radical blow to public taste, became a “normal” decorative experiment.

Making out a bathroom in tones of red color, we must remember that:

• the chosen color should be suitable for all residents of the house;
• sharp emphasis on bright and saturated parts of the palette is inappropriate;
• the use of relatively soft shades will add vitality and vitality;
• the use of diverse shades and various textures helps to achieve maximum diversity in design;
• red color is compatible with a wide variety of styles;
• excessive consumption can create a feeling of bad taste.

Wherein you also need to take care of quality lighting. The lack of light makes the red bathtub ominously looking and, rather, scares, suppresses, rather than enhances vitality.

A classic option is red and white combination. But it is not necessary to concentrate attention on it - there are many other options that allow us to solve the aesthetic problem.

Use a red bath appropriate when the room should express:

• the most energetic mood;
• desire for leadership;
• striving for new horizons and success.

Very expressive coloring is also not suitable for those who are too hyperactive. People with melancholic temperament expressed scarlet will psychologically oppress and cause incomprehensible irritation at the same time. The solution may be to use bright paint along with a large number of neutral tones, which will greatly improve the situation.

The undoubted advantages of the design of the room in color of red can be considered:

• festive and even solemn mood;
• stimulation of energy and activity;
• visual "warmth";
• excellent compatibility with gloss;
• easy entry into modern design styles;
• emphasized high cost and suitability in “lush” styles such as rococo and empire.

The root "weakness" of red is a high risk of introducing too much of such paint. As a result, psychological imbalance will occur. If the basic rules of combination with other tones are violated, part of the space can be visually absorbed. As a result, the room will be uncomfortable in appearance. Therefore, it is now important to consider what are the key norms of combination.

The first thing that comes to the minds of both designers and ordinary consumers is the surroundings of a red bathtub with white trim. Then you can make the "wash bed" as saturated as you like - anyway, this brightness will be smoothed out by other details.

The use of small red accents in the design of the walls is allowed. If the room as a whole is small, you can use two colors in approximately the same proportions, but then you need a third color to improve balance.

It looks catchy, impressive and chic at the same time. Important: this step is appropriate only in very good lighting. In addition, this duet must be applied skillfully and accurately. Sometimes only experienced qualified designers can do everything competently.

Even small white blotches will improve the perception of the composition. If such a radical combination is not too pleasant, then it is worth considering a red-peach combination. It will be perceived much easier and fresher. Introducing dynamism into the room, this design option will also allow you to enter a note of a calm and harmonious summer.

Many people are tormented by the question of whether it is possible to use the red bath at all in the interior. To solve the problem is very easy - an elementary test will help:

• stand in the opening, turning their backs to the door;
• they extend their arms straight;
• turn their backs to any of the walls;
• arms extended again.

If at least once your fingers hit the wall, an excess of red is unacceptable.

But you can still use a red bath if it is surrounded by white or any other discreet shade. To eliminate the mistake, you can do this: first, plan the entire room in white and only then add rich colors. This will allow you to feel the face beyond which their addition is impractical. To distinguish between different tones, it is worth using prints in the form of stripes.

Special problems arise when decorating a bathroom in Khrushchev. It is advisable to compensate for the use of the red bath (absorbing space) with local lamps. They can be directed both to the "font" itself, and to other objects.

The material from which the bath should be made does not play a special role, and it is selected according to personal taste.

This photo clearly shows how to combine a red bath with white surfaces. A comparatively modest in size inclusion of floral ornaments plays a huge role. Elegant textile décor complements the interior.

But you can do otherwise: for harmony they use interior elements that are just as saturated as the bath itself. At the same time, the walls, floor and ceiling are snow-white (with the exception of rare inclusions).

When choosing a geometric shape, you can be guided only by your own taste. So, the traditional solution is a rectangular or square red bath. More romantic looks in the form of a heart.

An alternative is this solution: the bath wall visible from the entrance is laid out with a red mosaic, in which slightly white notes are guessed. In exactly the same way the wall is formed, to which the opposite side of the bath adjoins; all this is reflected in a mirrored wall cabinet, and other elements of the room are painted in flawless white.

Fans of the original design will be delighted with this idea: use the red corner bath, which logically continues in color terms, with a bedside table and a strip on the wall. Upstairs, a reflection of a saturated piece of plumbing is the red ceiling.
