Tips for decorating a Scandinavian bathroom
The Scandinavian bathroom is distinguished by its minimalism: we focus on functional furniture with simple lines and we ensure a spacious room, in which the gaze circulates in a fluid manner. We therefore take care to avoid increasing the number of decorative elements, and rather to favor one or two strong pieces.
The Scandinavian white and wood bathroom remains a safe bet. If you want to twist this timeless classic, play with codes. Instead of opting for white walls and light wood furniture, reverse the steam: the room will be even more cozy!
If you want to keep a light and bright space, forget about any superfluous decorative element: bet on the essentials – washbasins and mirror, bathtub and storage – and fall for a pretty tiling, favoring a simple graphic pattern.
The Nordic-inspired bathroom is distinguished by the feeling of space that reigns there. The secret: opt for well-proportioned furniture. Thus, in a small Scandinavian bathroom, we make sure to choose a mirror and a basin of the appropriate dimensions.
If you benefit from beautiful volumes, you can conversely adopt an XXL element. The good idea: fall for the round mirror, which visually offers more softness than a square or rectangular model.
Traditionally, we rely on light and bright colors to decorate a Scandinavian-inspired bathroom. White can be a bit impersonal. If a pristine room scares you, choose a neutral color: cream, taupe, or beige, for example.
Want a note of cheerfulness? Tap into the pastel color palette! To give a little relief to your Scandinavian bathroom, use a greedy brown or an anthracite gray in small touches.
If you are worried about getting bored of colorful furniture, adopt a neutral color. This approach allows you to radically change the personality of your decor while having fun with textiles – rugs and bath towels – as well as with accessories – toothbrush, soap dish. Here, we opted for a warm and very trendy red. A few touches of green would suffice for the space to become resolutely Zen.
The wooden furniture is enough to warm the atmosphere. For a Scandinavian decor full of freshness, we dare to use mint green.
If the Scandinavian bathroom is resolutely minimalist, it is also very cocooning. So think about rugs, falling for very thick models. Depending on the space you have, you can install a cozy armchair or a simple pouf, daring wool or faux fur.
The total pastel look will give a retro atmosphere – typical of the 1950s. If you want to keep a contemporary spirit, bet on a designer piece, choosing a very modern chair or armchair. You can also bring a touch of pep’s to the decoration by introducing a very bright color note.
