My Wish List
The Art Deco style has been with us since the inter-war period. At that time it was associated with affluence - only wealthy people could afford it, as it was based on the use of precious and exclusive interior products. Today, thanks to the wide range of materials available and the possibility of finishing interiors with materials similar to the expensive originals, it can be afforded by many more people.
Art Deco broke into the salons and stayed there for decades up to the present day. However, the style has not only established itself in living rooms, but has also become a hit in bathrooms, somewhat revolutionising the concept of this room and clashing with the extremely popular eclectic style, for example.
Art Deco is a style that refers to the idea of transforming hitherto closed art, conceived as inaccessible or exclusive, into more utilitarian and mass-produced art. It is usually interesting, geometric forms with a touch of madness and ornamentation, which no one pass by indifferently. It is a wealth of finishes, original shapes and artistic references. When investing in an Art Deco interior, we may be tempted to make our own decorations and ornaments, showing our own artistic spirit. The Art Deco style is open to new possibilities and forms of expression, which gives us plenty of room for creativity.
The Art Deco style is also gaining popularity in bathrooms. How do you decorate a room in this style? In a way, an Art Deco interior should strive for sophistication, chic and elegance. Therefore, there should be no lack of gold in accessories and a base of subdued colours. It is worth betting on colours associated with elegance and playing with these colours in strong contrast (e.g. black and white). It is also important to choose the right lighting, which complements the overall arrangement and adds to its character. A visit to an Art Deco room should leave an imprint on your guests and be remembered for a long time. One enters an Art Deco bathroom as if it were an art gallery - the whole arrangement seems like an artistic installation, which not only evokes a positive visual experience, but also fascination and admiration. It intrigues, puzzles or surprises - just like art. Today's Art Deco bathrooms go one step further - combining chic and elegance with modernity and technology - using technological possibilities to make the right impression on guests - such as voice-controlled lighting.
Art deco interiors are characterised by a luxurious and elegant look, often based on geometric patterns and rich details. Here are some suggestions for colours that are perfect for art deco bathroom design:
Remember that a key element of art deco design is attention to detail. So consider adding decorative patterns, marble, mosaic or glass. Colours for an art deco bathroom should be harmonious and exclusive, giving the bathroom the luxurious and elegant look that is so characteristic of this style.
Choosing the perfect bathtub or shower enclosure for an art deco bathroom can be crucial to creating the desired aesthetic effect and functionality of the entire interior. Our range includes a wide range of free-standing bathtubs that perfectly match the characteristic elegance of this style. Freestanding or wall-mounted bathtubs with flowing lines and rounded shapes are a practical element of the bathroom, while also being decorative. For those who prefer a shower, walk-in shower enclosures can be an excellent choice in art deco bathrooms. Simple, geometric designs, often with subtle elements, make such a shower enclosure not only a place for a relaxing shower, but also a focal point of the bathroom design. Both the bathtubs and the shower enclosures available in our range combine functionality, comfort and a unique style that perfectly matches the art deco atmosphere.
The decorations in an art deco bathroom are elements that are worth spending more time on. The selection of appropriate, small but significant details becomes important here. One of them may be glass or ceramic mosaics located on the wall or floor, or stained glass as a finishing element of the furniture. Any geometric pattern, such as squares or rhomboids, gives the room an art deco feel. An art deco bathroom should be an interior where the mirror, especially one with an unusual shape, often with geometric frames or ornaments, plays a major role. Placed strategically, it optically enlarges the bathroom space while adding a unique charm. A good idea is to include art deco decorations in the bathroom. These include marble elements - e.g. countertops, vases in chrome or shades of silver or gold, decorated glass containers for cosmetics and beautiful perfume bottles. Remember that each decorative element should be carefully selected to form a coherent whole.
Lighting is an integral part of an art deco bathroom design, as it can not only serve a practical function, but also be an important decorative element. Ceiling lamps or wall lamps maintained in the characteristic art deco forms and ornamentation are the ideal choice. Glass lampshades decorated with gold or brass details are perfectly in keeping with the aesthetics of this trend. Lamps placed directly above the mirror or installed on its sides not only provide adequate illumination during daily activities, but also add a distinctive glow and elegance to the bathroom. It is also worth considering the use of wall lamps, which can be placed next to the mirror or above the bath, creating subtle points of light and adding depth to the room
There is no shortage of Art Deco finishing materials today. In order to reduce costs, we can replace some of them with slightly cheaper equivalents, which are visually almost identical, and their durability and workmanship are improving year by year - for example, imitation marble or gold ornamentation. The effect achieved by using high-quality equivalents in the Art Deco style can be just as interesting. However, when decorating a bathroom in this convention, invest in well-chosen and high-quality bathroom fittings. Let's opt for better materials, which increase the comfort of use and make the bathtub or shower cabin serve us for many years. In an Art Deco bathroom, freestanding bathtubs or walk-in shower enclosures work well. Although Art Deco is all about glamour and elegance, a classic white bathtub can also be a good choice to stand out against the rich and intriguing decorations.
An art deco bathroom is pleasant to arrange, but it is easy to overdo it. It is worth paying attention to detail, focusing not only on aesthetics but also on functionality. Whatever style the bathroom is arranged in, it should meet the expectations and needs of its intended users.
