Integrate natural elements into your decoration
The big brands have quickly seized the trend and integrated natural decoration into their product selections. Regarding the bathroom, here is how to give it a warmer, more refined and natural side:
- Choose natural wall coverings : instead of a one-color tile, choose a wall covering that incorporates stones or wood. Chestnut, oak and locust are woods that are very resistant to humidity. There are also ecological and natural paints without organic resin.
- Dare to mix natural materials on your furniture : light wood furniture will stand out perfectly against a dark stone wall covering. If you prefer a bright bathroom, the combination of a light stone wall covering with white wooden furniture, accompanied by mirrors and soft lighting, will give all the light and warmth you are looking for in your room. To refine your decoration, all you have to do is integrate small decorative pieces in wicker, driftwood or carved stone on your furniture.
- Plants suitable for the bathroom : of course, for a natural atmosphere you can not miss the plants. We recommend a Pilea Peperomiodies, an Aglaonema or a Papyrus for a Zen and relaxation side.
Good to know : the budget for renovating a bathroom can quickly be substantial depending on the scope of the work. We advise you to provide a little more quantities of materials than expected. Indeed, if you are missing some and the store is out of stock, or if the available batch is different, you could have problems completing your work. The same applies if, upon delivery of your equipment, you notice any damage. By keeping your receipt, you can bring the surplus back to the store or have defective lots replaced. Be careful, however, of the deadlines and the condition of the materials you are returning.
In the event that you encounter a problem for a recovery when you have complied with all the conditions, whether it is a problem with the Bricorama brandCastorama or Bricomarché, you are entitled to make a complaint. This legal procedure has been in force in France since 1er October 2014 and makes it possible to maintain a fair balance in the purchase/sale transaction between the consumer and the seller.
If you do not know how to go about making your complaint to the retailer, you can find the procedure to follow as well as the reporting contact points on specialized online platforms. Generally, brands provide consumers in the event of a dispute or customer dissatisfaction with an after-sales service that can be contacted by telephone or email. Note that if your complaint is unsuccessful, you can continue the procedure and appeal to the independent consumer mediator attached to the brand.
