The abundance of white in the design of the bathroom obliges to the design of the other rooms of the house with the dominance of the white background.Otherwise, the load on the eyes at the entrance to the bathroom will be very strong. In addition, a sharp transition from one color perception to another can negatively affect the mood of the household.

The choice of additional to white color should be deliberate. Even a small amount of contrast can change perception. For example, to create the effect of a classic design with its inherent elegance, you can combine the white color with gold or bronze.

Silver is more suitable for modern bathroom interiors. The presence of chrome surfaces looks less pretentious, although in this case you will have to add color contrast to white. For example, it may be light gray in the form of marble streaks, a combination of white, gray white and green will be successful. In this case, the color can be supplemented with a small accessory (for example, a plant in a vase), a mosaic insert, a panel.

Better than other colors, the white color in the bathroom is combined with the shades of the natural (wood) scale. These are beige and brown tones of different degrees of saturation. Popular combination of white with a shade of light and dark oak, wenge (diluted tone brown with black).

With regards to the rich colors of the palette, it is worth noting: Their combination is not always harmonious.

Therefore, MDF, chipboard and similar plates for drawing up the interior of the bathroom are not suitable.

The main types of material for the bathroom are metal, wood, plastic, glass. Due to modern developments in the list, you can add materials based on different polymers.

The choice of a particular type of material depends on its purpose, shape, size. Convenience of the main part of the raw materials used for the arrangement is compatibility with each other. For example, wood looks good with marble. Glass is appropriate everywhere. It makes the space easier, expands it, whether it is a regular partition, glass curtains or a mirror sheet.

Countertops with sink can be made of natural or artificial stone.They do not look massive, while they look good on the background of mirrors, marble coatings, wooden boxes and metal structures with a chrome or painted surface. Plastic is harmonious with any material. He is able to imitate the desired texture. This eliminates the need to use materials in the bathroom that break down over time from water.

The number of pieces of furniture in a white bathroom is subject to room footage, the height of the ceiling, and the layout features. A prerequisite is the streamlined shape of any object. It does not matter whether it is a rack, cabinet, table, dresser or a set of open console shelves. All edges must be treated to eliminate the possibility of injury.

If the bathroom is small, it will fit a standard set: sink with pedestal and hanging shelves or cabinet for hygiene supplies. When the bathroom is combined, under furniture usually manages to allocate more space. In this case, the shelves can sometimes be replaced by a compact rack of a linear or angular type. If the space is limited to a minimum, the room is equipped with a hinged shelf on the door.In such cases, you have to use any niche or beat the ledge.

Another thing, if the bathroom is spacious. The layout of such a room can give a lot of possibilities for design in white colors. Some of these rooms are more like living rooms, adapted to the bathroom. They can have a podium under a bath in the form of a bowl of different shapes, two tables with sinks, a dressing table with a mass of draw-out drawers.

For wall decoration, it is better to use panels made of plastic with an imitation of the desired texture. It can be a type of aged stained wood, imitation mosaic, brick or tile masonry.

Some like the legged option. Someone prefers models of round and even triangular shape. When a large room is set aside for the bathroom, it is possible to install a bath for two in it. Each type of product is different in its decor. For example, the back side of the bath can be decorated with imitation stucco from the base material.

If the bathroom is combined, try to pick up the toilet in the tone of the main plumbing. It is necessary to choose not only the whiteness of the shade. It is important to repeat the texture of the bath material. The same applies to the shell material. Otherwise, create an ensemble effect will not work.

Partially solve this problem by buying identical valves, faucets with spouts. This will divert attention from minor differences in texture or form. If the shade is different, you will have to separate the plumbing from each other with a contrasting shade of furniture, worktops,wall or floor covering, make a niche in a different tone. So the difference will be less pronounced.

The bathroom lighting system involves the composition of the central and auxiliary lights. This division into 2 (sometimes 3) functional zones. This approach is due to stringent requirements for bathroom fixtures.

The standards include:

• distance from hazardous (wet) areas;
• minimum allowable height value;
• type of lamp protection;
• the stability of the light source to moisture;
• mounting technology.

The central illumination of such a bath - near-surface panel, spotlights built-in type, as well as flexible LED strip or cord, at least - models with reflectors. Since such devices shine directionally, the individual corners of the bathrooms are not lit in the right amount. Therefore, it is necessary to additionally highlight the area above the mirror. Here use different methods of lighting. It can be lamps with adjustable angle, models of geometric shapes, built-in light inside the mirrors.

The shape of the luminaires is preferred ergonomic. Massive design gives way to easy solutions.The focus is on several laconic lamps, creating the effect of harmony of light design.

Gilding, elements of forging, chrome, and openwork motifs can be the decor of devices. If possible, the device should be closed, in the priority fog lamps in white. Glow shade is better to choose a neutral or warm white.
