Corten steel for a minimalist bathroom

The warm tones of corten steel in this minimalist bathroom are a perfect scenario for the wash plane and bathtub with straight lines. And we are so glad that we could find in Australia the same steel corten tiles from Portobello that we used in one of our past projects. You may check more info on this project here, where the corten steel look-like tile was used as a feature on the external facade.

Going back to our minimalist bathroom, the rust-like appearance of the steel after being exposed to the elements is one of our favourite patterns. Especially when combined with light grey cement and mosaic tiles in off-white, it’s a very nice combination. And talking about mosaic tiles, we love them as much as corten steel! You may see other mood boards where we used mosaic tiles here and here.

The minimalist look is complete with a vertical ceiling shower and a wall basin spout with a progressive mixer, all in chrome. In addition, you may have a frameless mirror with an irregular shape or a simple round one. One or two robe hooks as accessories and that is it. After all, less is more!

Nautical bathroom surrounded by tones of blue

There is no way one can have seasickness in this nautical bathroom surrounded by tones of blue. Followed by accessories made of natural materials, such as the mirror with a rope frame or the ceramic pot with dry flowers, this bathroom is perfect for a beach house. Encaustic tiles in navy blue complement the look, matching the vanity with shaker panels from Timberline.

On the wall, either wallpaper with a marine theme or the tongue and groove panel in satin white. Aiming to add some glamour? The wall sconce and the tapware in gold are the perfect choice. For other colour schemes where we used golden taps or accessories, click here or here. For basins and baths, you may have either contemporary pieces or more antique ones in gloss white.

Not all terrazzo tiles are the same

Not all terrazzo tiles are the same. Especially when made with a unique combination of tones that tie together other elements of the project. In this case, we opted for a terrazzo tile in sandy colours from Fibonacci, showcasing a combination of warm greys and notes of caramel. However, terrazzo tiles allow for many other combinations. You may find another project where we used terrazzo with grey tones here and here for example.

On the walls, we chose off-white 3D tiles in a gloss finish. They contrast with the tapware in brushed nickel, adding a touch of contemporaneity. Aiming to bring a warm atmosphere, we suggest light oak timber for the cabinetry and other objects, such as stools and shaving mirror cabinets. Shaving mirror cabinets, by the way, are excellent ways to maximize storage and add sophistication to your bathroom.

To complement the look, opt for objects made of clay ceramic in sandy tones, such as the vessel basin and the wall sconce from Robert Gordon. Also, allow for plant pots and other decorative elements in ceramic or terrazzo, which will add to the look.

Dark tones and golden accessories

The first of our mood boards matches dark tones and golden accessories, celebrating winter in a luxurious way. To create a moody bathroom, we suggest a matte black ceramic basin paired with a black wall-hung vanity. The fluted door panel with a bevelled frame adds sophistication to the piece of furniture, altogether with the countertop and handles in Corian.

Aiming to bring some coziness, mosaic tiles in emerald green. The same colour is present in the wallpaper, portraying tropical plants against a charcoal background. For the floor, neutral dark grey tiles. Regarding the tapware, we suggest wall basin mixers with curved spouts in brushed gold and hooks instead of tower rings. To complement the look, a wall sconce with frosted glass and a mirror, both with golden accents. The mirror may be either round with a simple frame, or square with a vintage frame.
