With Bernstein: How to create a bathroom with a modern and minimalistic design
The art of minimalism has progressively made its way into our bathrooms. The principles of minimalism are based on simplicity, purity of line and the choice of neutral colours. Looking to transform yours into a sleek, functional and modern design bathroom? Here's how you can realize new bathroom design ideas with Bernstein products!
Bathroom design in a minimalist style
The first step in achieving a minimalist, modern bathroom design is to keep things simple. This involves sorting out your belongings and keeping only the essentials. A minimalist style rhymes with tidiness and organisation.
This means choosing bathroom furniture with simple, uncluttered lines, the aim here being to create a zen and relaxing space. Go for suspended furniture which frees up floor space and gives a feeling of lightness. Using natural materials such as wood is also recommended to bring a touch of warmth to your room.
Bernstein hopes you enjoy furnishing your bathroom!
Natural materials for a Zen ambiance
The choice of materials is essential in a minimalist bathroom. Think about using natural materials, such as wood, for your bathroom furniture and tiles for your bathroom interior design.
Wood, as well as being a sustainable and environmentally-friendly material, adds a warm note to your room. Both light and dark, it pairs perfectly with neutral colours such as white, grey and beige.
Another material to consider is tiles. Go for light-coloured tiles to bring light into your room. In addition, tiles are easy to clean, which is a considerable advantage for a bathroom.
The importance of the washbasin in a minimalist bathroom
The washbasin is a key element in any bathroom. It should be functional, but also stylish. In a minimalist style, choose a basin with a clean, simple shape.
Many different washbasin models are available on the market: free-standing washbasins, built-in washbasins, pedestal washbasins and more. Pick the one that best suits your bathroom interior design ideas and your needs.
The essentials: shower and bath
Showers and baths are key elements in any design bathroom. To achieve a minimalist style, go for models with clean lines and neutral colours.
A walk-in shower is a smart choice for a minimalist bathroom. With its pure design and easy access, it's a perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality.
A freestanding bathtub in particular can bring a touch of luxury to your design bathroom. Go for a bath with simple, unadorned shapes.
Optimised storage space
Ultimately, a minimalist design bathroom is distinguished by its optimised storage space. Mess is the enemy of minimalism. It is therefore important to organise your belongings efficiently.
Choose storage units that are both functional and stylish. Wall niches, for example, are a great way to save space. You can also use the space under your washbasin or bath for storage.
These are just a few tips to help you create a bathroom with a minimalist, functional design. An area where you can relax and unwind, while benefiting from a modern, trendy design.
The perfect lighting for a minimalist bathroom
Lighting is crucial to the design of a minimalist bathroom. It needs to be both functional and visually appealing to provide a soothing atmosphere. The ideal solution is to have a source of natural light through a window. Depending on the layout of your home, however, this might not always be feasible. In such cases, artificial lighting becomes essential.
Choose light fixtures with a simple, discreet design. In-ceiling spotlights are an excellent option. They offer homogenous lighting and can be directed towards the areas you want to highlight, such as the vanity unit or walk-in shower.
Wall lights can bring a modern touch to your bathroom. They are especially suitable for illuminating mirrors. Go for LED bulbs for their long life and low energy consumption.
Colour, a key element for a contemporary bathroom interior design
Colour is a key factor in creating a contemporary bathroom interior design. Neutral shades are best for a minimalist look. White is the quintessential minimalist colour. It provides luminosity and purity and visually enlarges the space.
But that doesn't mean that a minimalistic, modern bathroom has to be entirely white. You can experiment with shades of grey, beige or taupe to create a warmer ambience. Hints of black can also bring contrast and a touch of refinement.
Bathroom accessories, like towels, bath mats or soap dispensers, can be used to add a brighter colour while adhering to the minimalist “less is more” bathroom design.
Accessories for a minimalist yet functional design bathroom
Accessories are crucial to creating a minimalist yet functional bathroom. They must be chosen with care, as every element has its own importance in this style of design.
Keep accessories simple and practical. For example, a stainless steel or natural wood towel rail will add a modern touch to your bathroom. Likewise, a glass or ceramic soap dispenser can look good and be useful at the same time.
Think about organizing your cosmetics and personal care products too. Bathroom furniture with a professional organizing principle can help a lot to keep your bathroom organized and tidy.
