And the modern man necessarily wants to take advantage of the results of this progress, to use them for his own purposes. One of them is to design a bathroom in a modern style.

Bathroom Finishing Materials

The material of the bathroom, due to its specificity, must meet modern requirements. Therefore, when choosing it, one should pay attention to its properties and manufacturer. What materials and which manufacturers should be used in the interior of the bathroom?

Ceramics - the oldest material for decoration

Ceramic tile is the oldest and most common material for decoration. The secret of its popularity for bathroom decoration lies in the properties. It does not absorb moisture, easy to care for. The variety of its design allows you to create any interior for every taste.

If this suits you, move on. Of course, now you are interested in what brands of ceramic tiles are popular today for decorating a bathroom? Good and logical question. The answer is below.

The founders of ceramic tiles are considered Arab countries. Subsequently, the secrets of its production were adopted by European craftsmen, in particular Spain. Spain is currently the world leader in the production of ceramic materials. For the manufacture of raw materials used to meet high European requirements for product quality. Designers believe that the interior of the bathroom with ceramic tiles in Spain corresponds to the premium class.

The Acuarela tile collection (manufactured by Halcon Ceramicas, Spain) will help you create a bathroom with a delicate and elegant design, and the atmosphere in it will be calm and relaxing. In the bathroom with tiles from the Acuarela collection, you will always feel the spring, its freshness.

The Russian trademark KERAMA MARAZZI (Kerama Marazzi) represents worthy competition to the leading manufacturers of ceramic tiles in Italy and Germany.

As a result of using Italian equipment and attracting Italian specialists, the material corresponds to European quality, and its design is not inferior to Italian ceramics. The Kerama Marazzi tile collection has more than 150 species, which will allow you to turn the bathroom into a fairy tale. Floor tiles have a high abrasion class (PEI IV). The texture plausibly mimics a tree. Decorative elements, various textures, a wide range of colors and patterns create a unique design.

Alicante tile (manufacturer Azori, Russia) is not inferior to it in popularity on the Russian market. Today it is a bestseller for ceramics. Light tones of beige and gray make the bathroom stylish and delicate. Stains on tiles perfectly imitate stone.

Mosaic - a material of creative natures

The history of the mosaic extends from the depths of centuries. Its first traces were discovered in Mesopotamia. Later she appeared in Mexico and other regions of the planet. Various techniques for its manufacture were created. The most difficult was the Florentine. But that was in ancient times. Progress has greatly simplified the manufacture of mosaics. Now the mosaic is made of ceramics and glass. In the decoration of the bathroom, it is preferable to use a glass mosaic. The walls covered with it are absolutely moisture resistant and durable.

In recent years, mosaic decoration has become increasingly popular. Especially this type of decoration is suitable for the bathroom. It is equally good for any surface.

Mosaic can embody almost any creative imagination. The bathroom will become a kind of work of art. A good example is the amber room in Kaliningrad. Of course, your room will not reach its level, but something like this is quite achievable.

Significant disadvantages of ceramic tiles, ordinary and mosaic, (for some consumers) are:

1. high cost of material
2. some styling difficulty. For its quality installation you will need a good specialist, whose work is evaluated accordingly.
3. the impossibility of a quick change of design in the event of a change in taste or the emergence of a negative attitude towards the owner. It happens that, after some time, you don’t like the finish of the bathroom?
4. the opportunity to purchase illiquid tiles. Even in one package there may be tiles that differ in size and color. The probability is small, but it is still there. Therefore, preference should still be given to imported material.

Plastic panels - an indispensable attribute of modern decoration

Today materials are being created, the manufacture of which is much cheaper, and the quality is almost not inferior to their predecessors. In addition, their installation, after a short practice, is quite within the power of every man. The mistakes made during installation are easily corrected. In the major case, this is a new purchase. One of these materials are plastic panels. Sometimes they are also called PVC panels. But from this their essence and properties do not change. They are very practical to maintain. Easy to wash, do not let moisture in, unless, of course, you forgot to seal the joints with silicone sealant. That is, plastic panels are an ideal modern material when decorating the surfaces of a room.

A very important advantage of the plastic panel is the variety of textures. Due to this, at your disposal a lot of options for decorating the room.

Panels with wood texture are used for interior decoration in country styles, Greek. The imitation of wood gives a special warmth to the bathroom, typical of past times.

If it is not possible for you to use ceramics in the bathroom, do not make tragedy out of this. With the help of a panel with a texture that creates the effect of a tile, you will with honor get out of this unpleasant situation. Only you will be able to only plain appearance of the walls. Unfortunately, our progress has not yet reached full imitation of ceramic tiles.

A popular option is paneling with a texture that imitates brickwork. It will be very pleasant to adherents of olden time. The texture and texture of the panel reliably conveys the atmosphere of the bathroom of the early twentieth century, while maintaining modernity. You seem to be simultaneously in the past and present.

No less than the previous types, panels with mosaic texture are in demand. Mosaic has always been an interesting way of decorating the surfaces of a room. True, it is inferior in originality to ceramic mosaics.

The manufacturers' panels are most in demand: Europlastservice, SM Holding (Russia), Grosfillex (France), Eucatex (Brazil)

Marble - a symbol of reliability and luxury

It is impossible not to mention such a finishing material as marble. Marble has always been a symbol of wealth and luxury. This material can also be successfully used in finishing work. The color of marble is necessarily selected for the decorated interior style. Marble is good for Scandinavian and Greek styles.

A marble bathroom will look similar. Surely the pharaohs once bathed in such bathrooms. It feels good to feel like a pharaoh, isn't it?

Well, now, perhaps, the most interesting. Materials materials, but only with skillful use of them your bathroom will be surprising to everyone, and to yourself - to joy.

Styles and options for finishing the bathroom

When decorating a bathroom, you need to consider the style of its interior that you have chosen. Everything should be harmonious. Otherwise, your bathroom will look rather plainly. But you do not want this?

Despite the dominance of modern interior styles, the country style remains popular. Requires the presence of coarse design elements, the presence of warm beige tones. A tile with a texture in the form of a stone is perfect for this. The plastic panel textured under a tree will be irreplaceable. With this style and appropriate decoration, the bathroom will be for you something intimate and free from all the hardships of life.

The Greek-style bathroom is characterized by textured stucco walls. This is followed by its coloring in bright colors. The presence of a geometric ornament - a meander is mandatory in the room. No matter what he will be present in.

Scandinavian style is always associated with the dazzling whiteness and severity of the northern edge. Plumbing in a bathroom made in this style should not contradict it. White is a must for her. Although the presence of other colors is not forbidden, but they must be in bright colors.

Choose a bathroom

The bathroom is the main plumbing facility in the room. Therefore, whenever possible, special attention is paid to its decoration. There are many options.

The bathroom can be mounted in a kind of podium, which is finished within your capabilities and imagination. Finishing the bathroom can be performed in a simplified form. It is finished with simple ceramic tiles or mosaics.

With a certain financial income, you can also make a work of art worthy of kings from the bathroom. It looks impressive and luxurious. Of course, one cannot do without the help of specialists. Work will require great skill and design experience. But what can’t you do for yourself, beloved?

Shower Trim

A shower cabin is today's mandatory attribute of a bathroom. Without it, any self-respecting person does not think of his bathroom. Therefore, it is worth talking about the decoration of this zone.

Finishing is carried out mainly in several ways:

• ceramic tiles or mosaics. Finishing with these materials is much more reliable than plastic panels.

• plastic panels. The panels make the design of the shower cabin more sophisticated, although simpler than with ceramics.

• as an option, you can fantasize with glass walls of the shower. They can be both transparent and translucent.

Transparent walls are the most popular today. Their transparency emphasizes the purity prevailing in the bathroom. But they have one drawback - rather difficult care for them. To bring their purity to their original appearance is very problematic.

The translucent wall is made of corrugated glass, while its shape and texture are quite diverse. Glass is structured by original figures. Such a booth looks intriguing and entertaining.

Finishing a shower can be done by combining transparent and translucent glass. This option will help to find a middle ground in its design.

Finishing plumbing and bathroom furniture

Most often, marble is used as an ideal countertop for a nightstand in the bathroom, especially in light colors. The popularity of marble finishes is growing every year. Such a bedside table creates a cheerful mood, important after waking up in the early morning. Caring for her is not a big problem.

Finally

I would like to remind you again. If you are a dynamic person, then do not forget the saying "Measure seven times - cut once." This is in case you decide to decorate your bathroom with ceramic tiles. A mistake will be expensive, in the literal sense. As for plastic panels, non-combustible panels should be preferred. The ability to "breathe" is an important property of plastic. This will help you avoid fungus in the room. Fire hazard is the main requirement for all materials used in the decoration of the bathroom. Buy materials only from reputable manufacturers. Remember the saying - avaricious pays twice.
