Zamora Francesc. - 150 Best New Bathroom Ideas

Bathrooms have experienced a progressive transformation over time because of lifestyle changes that have elevated the bathroom to a place of importance in our homes. Attitude changes toward privacy have also contributed to this transformation. Nowadays, bathrooms are far more than merely functional rooms tucked away in a gloomy corner of the house. They are bright spaces as stylish as they are utilitarian, opening up to adjacent bedrooms and dressing rooms. Style and technology pair with the daily rituals of bathing and grooming to create a relaxing atmosphere. Bathrooms are getaways that have the power of revitalizing and soothing body and soul.

Also, like any other room in the house, the bathroom reflects personality and lifestyle. Vintage bathroom fittings are a popular trend. The appeal might have to do with glamour and nostalgia. Pedestal sinks, Venetian mirrors and enameled cast-iron tubs take center stage in renovated early twentieth-century spaces. The more contemporary bathroom style features streamlined fittings carved in stone and marble, made of ceramic, and fabricated in high-quality recycled plastic and translucent resin. Fittings are important elements in a bathroom, generally setting the style of the room and creating focal points.

They are displayed as pieces of contemporary art in rooms that are increasingly larger to accommodate spa-like amenities challenging the notion of privacy. Privacy is a value that has also changed over the years. Its not so much a matter of hiding ourselves from others, but about shielding ourselves from the outside frenzy. On the other hand, it is not surprising to find a tub right by a floor-to-ceiling window. It seems as if there is a growing interest in having in the bathroom what we have always wanted in the living room: views.

With an eye toward maximizing the existing area, this renovation optimizes underutilized adjoining spaces. This master en suite incorporates classic and timeless elements with todays approach to the ultimate retreat, including all the amenities of a luxury spa. Semi-precious octagon white Calacatta marble mosaics, framed with St. Laurent Brown Marble Mosaic, Carrara Brick Marble and polished chrome fittings are set amid a sculptural architectural envelope of wall covering, crown molding and millwork. No sacrifices here since this bath is complete with simple yet elegant detailing and unique material combinations.

Partitions offer privacy between the toilet area, the vanity and the shower.

Partitions can also add architectural interest and improve the proportions of an awkwardly long and narrow bathroom.

Designer: marianiLIND Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Photographer: Andrea Simone This bathroom renovation started out with a color scheme. Its not always that simple, even though we all wish it would be. The design team combined a few other basic elements, which ultimately set the tone for a bathroom of sophisticated elegance and simplistic flair. The long mirror over the vanity and the chrome plumbing fixtures add brightness for a final touch. Sometimes it is as simple as finding the perfect light fixture or hardware to come up with a design concept.

Once you have a clear picture in mind, you are ready to start. A marble mosaic rug in gray tones is the focal point of this bathroom. The selection of natural stone was critical to carry the design to the walls and to the Calacatta countertop.
