Oriental style bathroom design options

Mysterious distant countries with their cultural characteristics have always been attracted to people. That is why in interior design ethnicity is so in demand. Our material today will be devoted to designing a bathroom design in an oriental style.

If you are attracted by the style of the East, it is important to immediately determine what kind of country it will be. Most often, the basis is:

• Morocco;
• India
• Turkey
• Egypt;
• China;
• Japan

Whatever country you ultimately choose, the East dictates its own rules:

• the color scheme of the room will entirely depend on the chosen direction, while you should not be afraid of bright colors - in the ethnics they are very appropriate;
• materials are allowed exclusively natural;
• emphasis is placed on the characteristics of the selected country;
• most often mosaic tiles are used to decorate walls and floors;
• room decoration with ornaments, painted.

We found that when designing a bathroom in an oriental style, you should try to use only natural, environmentally friendly materials or their high-quality imitation. Let's see what professionals advise.

• For wall and floor cladding, choose tiles or special plaster. If you chose Morocco as an example, pay attention to the Moroccan tiles Zilige - a special glazed mosaic tile. Asian interior dominates the choice of porcelain stoneware with imitation of wood or stone structure.
• Plumbing Products should be streamlined.Materials for their manufacture: stone (imitation can be used), moisture-resistant concrete, specially treated wood. Faucets, door handles, hooks, pipes are better to choose from copper and brass, ornate and retro style,
• When choosing lighting fixtures Pay attention to the old-fashioned, unusual lamps, giving a muffled, soft lighting.

And now let's get to know each of the styles more closely and reveal the secrets of the mysterious countries of the East.

Luxurious design, in the design of which shades are used:

• brown;
• blue;
• green
• orange;
• red flowers.

Let us dwell on the decoration of the walls of the bathroom in the Indian style. The best solutions:

• wall decoration with carved wood panels or varnished grilles;
• plastering with a homogeneous composition with the application of mosaics on top of it;
• staining with waterproof paint.

By the way, under this arch you can place a sink or shelves.

When choosing plumbing, pay attention on products of classic white color, as well as black, red or beige variants. Gilding will also be appropriate.

Textile accessories should only be made from natural materials. Hand embroidery with ethnic patterns will be an additional “highlight”.

Simplicity, asceticism, rigor, lack of pretentiousness - this is all about the interior of the bathroom in the style of the Land of the Rising Sun. Even the color scheme is muted here:

• most often used pastel colors - blue, beige, peach, pale pink, salmon, coffee with milk;
• Of the bright contrasting colors, black and yellow will be most preferred.

If you are lucky and your bathroom has a fairly spacious area, you can zone it, as is traditionally done in Japan. The bathing room consists of:

To indicate the boundaries, it is recommended to use special Japanese partition screens - shoji.

When choosing plumbing, pay attention to the classic snow-white products, it is better to choose taps from copper or bronze.

It is worth saying a few words about wall decoration. Japanese design involves such coatings:

• ceramic tiles with imitation of wood, bamboo, straw, rice paper;
• ceramic panel depicting a mountain landscape, sakura flowers, chrysanthemums, hieroglyphs, talismans;
• a combination of two textures - the wall is covered with plaster or painted, and a decorative grille is attached on top;
• river pebbles lined with mosaics.

As for lighting, cube-shaped products made of bamboo stems, wooden planks, frosted glass are especially suitable. You can install them both on the ceiling and on the wall.

The floor is covered with a bamboo or sisal mat.

The Chinese interior is the case when all the corners of the furniture should be smoothed so that the Chi energy does not “cling” to them.

Walls can be finished:

An important point is lighting. It is always bright in such a bathroom. It is recommended to install several small lamps around the perimeter of the ceiling, or hang Chinese lanterns soaked in moisture.
