The bathroom has long been transformed into a place of leisure and, like in other rooms, you want to adhere to a certain style and direction in it. The stylish interior of the house is a reason to admire the delicate taste of the owner and his concern for the beauty of his home. A stylishly equipped bathroom is also an opportunity to appreciate the knowledge of technical innovations of the best design collections and the ability to complete interior elements according to your taste.
In the interior of the bathroom, a heated towel rail plays an important role. When choosing it, you should pay attention to water heated towel rail in the bathroom.
Exotic ethnic style
Many styles of bathrooms began to be complemented by various national cultural motifs. Designing a bathroom in the style of a certain country or region is a sure way to create a unique face for this room. Some of the most relevant ethnic styles are Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and African. This popularity is associated both with their unconditional originality, and with a pronounced, unlike anything, attributes of the cultures and nationalities themselves. The Japanese style is distinguished by minimalist rigor (by the way, it was the Japanese culture, in which it is customary to save space, that influenced the appearance of minimalism as such) and decorative restraint. The space here is clearly structured, and the subject deficit is compensated by elegant decor.Therefore, the bathroom is an ideal space for creative fantasies in Japanese style. Such an interior clearly reflects the special attitude of the Japanese towards nature: bathtubs, mirrors, sinks most often repeat the shape of natural elements, for example, the shape of a leaf or an egg, and a mirror or furniture can be decorated with natural flowers. Also, one of the essential features are hieroglyphs, which can serve as a decoration, for example, lamps made of rice paper, bowls, towel holders. If you want to maintain the style completely, then the bath must have an appropriate design. It is better to choose a frame from “bamboo-like” materials associated with purely Japanese bamboo furniture. The bath itself should be low and have a square or rectangular shape, like all Japanese interior furniture in general, which is light and mobile modules. Because of its naive natural identity, African is considered the most exotic style. Imitation of living natural materials or animal fur, crocodile or snake skin painting, natural African stone evoke the atmosphere of the continent and can decorate furniture or any plumbing item. It is better to start embodying this style in the bathroom with the creation of colors. The main colors of this style are the colors of the flame: shades of red, yellow, orange and brick, as well as all shades of brown. But creating such a style does not mean completely replacing all bathroom items: any style involves a sense of proportion and tact.Therefore, it is enough to install a shell decorated with snake skin on an ordinary wooden cabinet, hang a mirror in a black leather frame (black color is also one of the most typical for Africa), choose coasters and holders in the form of handicrafts or accessories made from “wild” materials - ivory, horns, eggshells, nails, claws and even fish scales. Everything else - endless possibilities of finishing and properly selected accessories.
You will agree that it is not so easy to find an African-style bathtub, but it is not difficult to equip an ordinary bathtub with turtle-colored borders or install a black-and-white striped shower kit that resembles a zebra skin. Such elements will add color to the savannah and deserts. The Indian style fascinates with its cardinal worldview and originality of oriental culture, formed by thousands of years of experience. First of all, it is distinguished by an unusual color scheme for us: turquoise, crimson, orange colors, completely unique in their kind, can be harmoniously combined in its interior. Secondly, this style clearly reflects the Indians' predilection for pomp and intricate ornamentation: lush openwork carvings can be present on furniture, lamps, and even shells. Of course, this is one of the most pretentious styles, but it is in your power to make the bathroom elegant and harmonious - the elementary principle of proportionality will help here.

Actual minimalism
Minimalism is one of the most sought-after styles for both the interior of the house as a whole and for the bathroom, the small space of which already limits the number of interior items. But leaving only the necessary attributes in the bathroom does not mean shaping and maintaining its style. Minimalism is a whole trend; it has clear rules by which you can create a really stylish room. Firstly, minimalism is characterized by clear geometric shapes - right angles, straight lines, squares, rectangles and the complete absence of curved rounded objects. Therefore, a built-in sink, toilet bowl, direct, clear-cut faucets on cartridges and concise accessories will be optimal for a minimalist-style bath: rectangular soap dishes, a “ladder” heated towel rail and a towel holder, for example, in the form of a musical instrument - a triangle. The new series of wall-mounted sanitary ware - wall-hung sinks, toilets and bidets - will also allow you to visually enlarge the space, therefore they are an excellent solution for small bathrooms. The fundamental element of the bathroom is a bathtub or a shower cabin.The choice between these items regarding style is difficult to make, since both showers and rectangular light baths will fit well into such an interior - personal preferences for a mobile shower or hot tub will come first. If you still adhere to strict space savings, it is the shower cabin that will once again accentuate the light and mobile style of minimalism. The second invariable rule of the minimalist style is a very restrained, or rather almost monochrome color scheme. The main colors of this style are white, black, gray, cream and their shades. Of course, you can add a bright splash of color - the centerpiece of the bathroom, always reflecting your personality and attitude, but here it is also necessary to take into account the "fluidity of the situation": a brush cup with blue polka dots or an accessory with a floral color can easily spoil the overall impression. Thirdly, an important feature of minimalism that should not be missed is the materials. Ideal for the bathroom and emphasize the clear forms of steel and chrome, and the combination of a metallic sheen with a light light or dark wood will also indicate your delicate taste. Unlike color, minimalism offers a wider range of different materials: glass and plastic are widely used, and therefore a shower cabin will be most appropriate here. Plumbing for the bathroom is best to choose with a snow-white enamel coating, and a towel holder and a soap dish, as well as sanitary fittings - metal. A minimalist bathroom will never go out of style due to its restraint, unobtrusiveness and elegance.

Undisputed classic
The classic style has been invariably popular in home interiors for more than 4 centuries. The bathroom is no exception. However, not many people can afford the classics: exclusive and high-quality materials are used here, such as natural wood, stone and expensive metals, in particular, gilding, which is covered with faucets. However, for those who can afford this style, designers develop strict and sophisticated collections of faucets, sanitary ware, bathtubs and other equipment that allows you to embody the spirit of classics in the bathroom. The central elements of this room are massive, and therefore majestic. So, a bathtub, presented in a wide variety of variations, must certainly stand alone, have a classic shape and be complemented, for example, with gilded handles in the form of acanthus leaves or massive, lion-like legs - it will set the tone for the entire interior. A sink in this style can have a marble stand, which gives it weight and solidity, or be installed on a cabinet made of fine wood, if this material is generally supported in the bathroom. A mirror, without which no bathroom is conceivable, must be placed in a weighted frame, decorated with carvings or covered with gilding.Classic style faucets most often have traditional shapes, rounded and straight, marble inserts and rich finishes: gold, silver, painted enamel, as well as brass and bronze. Antique accessories reminiscent of antiques, or individual decorative elements, the surface of which is artificially aged, as well as carved details are very harmonious in the classics: carving can be present in the design of furniture handles or legs, in the mirror frame, lamps, cabinets and stands, forming the main decor and adding solemnity. If you prefer another version of the classic style - "palace", then you can safely equip the bathroom with numerous items in gold and, moreover, add "palace" details: decorative candles, gilded shades, which will give the room a truly regal look and solemn lighting. The color scheme of the classics is not limited by choice, but has strict laws of compatibility and consistency. Although recently the current trend of the classical style has been the addition of bathroom attributes with Swarovski crystals, and the warm and restrained range of classics - the rich red color of the so-called "glamour" with modifications of lacquered and shiny. It is difficult to distinguish whether this is the influence of royal paraphernalia, which is also characterized by red, or new trends; the main thing is that it adds even more grace and majesty to the classics.
