Bathing room - a guide from design to arrangement

Bathing room - a guide from design to arrangement

It would seem that having the luxury of a large bathroom space at your disposal, its arrangement is simple. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is worth devoting special attention to this place. The bathing room is a multifunctional place, so the arrangement of this large space must be planned in every detail. So how to equip a bathroom to meet your assumptions? We will tell you in the article below!

What is a bathing room? Definition and features

Bathing salon is something more than a bathroom

A bathing room is a space that combines the functionality of a classic bathroom with the comfort of a relaxation zone. This is a place designed for relaxation and care rituals, often inspired by the atmosphere of luxury spas. Characteristic features of a bathing room include carefully selected lighting, high-quality materials and decorative elements that emphasize its unique character.

A bathing room impresses not only with its functionality and spaciousness but also with its design. A room ideal for bathing is a place where there is space to create each of the functional zones of the bathroom:

  • Shower zone - with a corner, complete or Walk-In shower enclosure,
  • Bath zone in a bathtub - most often equipped with a free-standing or complete wall-mounted or corner bathtub,
  • Washing zone - with a countertop washbasin,
  • toilet zone - with a toilet and bidet,
  • Relaxation zone - with a lounger or armchair on which you can relax after bathing and have a nice time.

A bathing salon is a place that we finish with elegant materials - most often those of natural origin - such as marble or wood. We do not forget about atmospheric lighting - candles, hanging lamps or wall lamps - let's install as many of them as possible and illuminate each zone with them. A perfect bathing salon cannot be poor in accessories - natural plants, vases, candlesticks, elegant textiles, wicker accessories - but all of this in the best quality are accessories that will not only complement the arrangement but will make the interior cozy and stylish.

The difference between a bathroom and a bathing salon

Bathing room with showering and bathing zone

The bathroom is most often associated with a place where we take care of hygiene. This is where we take a shower or a bath, start and end the day. On the other hand, the bathroom is a space that encourages relaxation and disconnection from everyday duties from the moment you enter. This is a place that we describe as luxurious, where each zone is designated and the time spent there is full of relaxation.

Unlike a standard bathroom, a bathroom is characterized by a larger area, elegant finish and additional relaxation elements, such as a free-standing bathtub, spacious shower cubicle or comfortable furniture.

It is worth emphasizing that a well-arranged room intended for bathing not only provides relaxation, but also increases the value of the entire property. That is why we increasingly focus our attention on making the bathroom interior more than just a place for bathing.

Key elements of bathing room equipment

Regardless of whether we have a large or smaller bathroom - the equipment of its individual zones is a key issue. A complete free-standing or wall-mounted or corner bathtub, a shower enclosure with a selected opening method, a shower tray, a washbasin are products that are available in our offer and cannot be missing in the space of a bathing salon. The choice is so wide that everyone will find an element that perfectly fits the style of arrangement in which the bathroom is designed. Framed and frameless shower enclosure, Walk-In solutions, or products prepared according to individual needs, are available in a wide range of profile finishes and glass patterns. Complete bathtubs are offered not only in classic white, but also in DuoKolor versions, where black and gray give additional elegance to the bathing zone of the bathing salon.

Functional zones in the bathroom

Once we have chosen what is most important, i.e. sanitary equipment and tiles, it is worth thinking about accessories and clever tricks that help optically enlarge the room. It is good to remember, for example, to use cool colours in the arrangement, such as greys, muted blues or powder pink - this gives the impression of greater spaciousness. Mirrors and shiny surfaces that reflect light are also reliable, which make even the smallest bathroom optically larger. Properly selected light points in a cool colour work similarly, as well as general order and the lack of unnecessary elements of the decor - remember that the fewer cosmetics and equipment in sight, the larger the room will look.

Free-standing bathtub as a main element

Whatever definition of a bathroom we analyze, there is always a fixed point - a freestanding bathtub is a "must have" for such an interior. With a sufficiently large bathroom space, we do not have to choose between a bathtub and a shower. We can afford a freestanding bathtub, which will become the central point, and a shower. Unlimited space, large glass areas and an interesting design are just some of the features of Walk-In shower enclosures. The main task of these products is to provide the largest possible bathing space. The combination of a shower and bathtub zone in one room guarantees relaxation that many of us dream of. The Free Line acrylic bathtub and the Altus series Walk-In cabin complemented with a trapezoidal shower tray are products that match each other and provide pure bathing pleasure at any time of the day.

Lighting and its role in the bathroom 

Multiple light points are an important aspect of equipping a room that is perfect for bathing

Lighting plays an extremely important role in a bathroom, influencing not only the functionality of the space, but also its atmosphere. Well-chosen light guarantees the style and harmony of any interior. A room designed for bathing should be pleasant and elegant at the same time. Even a small bathroom can become a bathroom if we take care of the details and details - and even more so the lighting, which should introduce an atmosphere of relaxation, luxury and rest.

A key aspect is the layered approach to lighting. The main light source should evenly illuminate the entire room, providing comfort during everyday activities. The lighting of individual zones of the room is an equally important aspect:

  • a chandelier or designer ceiling lamp above the bathtub – which encourages long bubble baths,
  • spot lighting of the shower area – you can also consider coloured lighting, which additionally fulfils a therapeutic function – it has been known for centuries that chromotherapy supports well-being and increases the sense of comfort,
  • LED mirror lighting – it is important that they are matched so as to eliminate any shadows – which can be of great importance when performing beauty treatments, make-up, shaving or haircutting,
  • wall lamps or floor lamps in the relaxation zone – they should focus light only and exclusively on the place of rest,
  • stylish and fragrant candles in every part of the room.

In order for the arrangement to be coherent, it is necessary to ensure that each light element has a similar colour. The bathing room should fulfil primarily a relaxation function – hence light in the form of candles or dimmed light from light points is welcome. Aromatherapy also plays a large role – candles and essential oils. A scented candle in the bathroom creates an atmosphere - its flame has a soothing effect and the scent envelops the senses. What's more - an interesting pattern can become an interior decoration. The style in which the bathroom is designed does not matter - lighting in the form of a candle fits both modern styling and the more classic, industrial or boho one. The role of light in the bathroom is to create a home spa.

Designing a relaxation zone - a practical guide

Ideas for the relaxing bathing space

The ideal solution is to have both a shower and a bathtub in your bathroom. This solution turns your bathroom into a real SPA, which you can visit whenever you feel like it, without leaving your home. The market offers a very wide range of options, so you have the freedom to choose and this choice can certainly be fully tailored to your needs and preferences. Owners of large bathroom spaces can certainly let their imagination run wild. However, it should be remembered that the bathroom is part of a larger whole, so its style should refer to the atmosphere of the entire house. After all, a large space is a must. Below are some ideas on how you can use the rooms available in your home to create your dream bathroom.

Bathroom in the attic

The attic bathing salon is the perfect place to create a private relaxation and relaxation zone. Thanks to the characteristic slopes and large roof windows, the interior gains a unique atmosphere and natural lighting. Our proposal for a bathing room is a combination of exceptional aesthetics and practical solutions.

The key element of this interior is the individually adjusted Free Line II series shower enclosure. Thanks to this solution, every centimeter of the room has been effectively used. The interior also offers a bathtub zone equipped with a complete symmetrical bathtub from the Luxo series integrated with the casing. This type of bathtub is an excellent choice for people who value minimalism and harmony in interior design. The rounded shape of the bathtub and the well-thought-out design make using it a pure pleasure. An additional advantage of this interior is the use of vertical wall panels in a dark shade, which introduce elegance and clearly separate the bathing zone. In turn, the light floor with a wood effect gives the interior coziness and optically enlarges it.

When arranging a bathroom in the attic, it is worth choosing solutions that combine aesthetics and ergonomics. In this case, this was achieved perfectly – the bathroom impresses with both its appearance and functionality.

Combining a bathing room with a bedroom

The arrangement combining the bedroom with the bathroom is an ideal solution for people who value comfort and convenience in everyday use. The presented arrangement is a space in which the bathing area has been designed with attention to every detail.

The main element of the bathing area is the modern Exa Line series swing shower door, which can also be perfectly matched to the character of the interior. Thanks to the availability of several colors of profile finish, the shower enclosure can harmoniously match different styles of arrangement. An additional advantage are two versions of glass: transparent, which optically enlarges the space and with W23 screen printing in the form of triangles with varying degrees of transparency, which subtly obscure the silhouette during bathing, while adding a modern character to the product. An additional element of the equipment is the Free Line freestanding bathtub, which provides an additional option for bathing and relaxation.

The raw, concrete finish of the walls combined with wooden shelves introduces a unique harmony to the interior, combining industrial coolness with natural warmth. The adjacent bedroom with soft textiles and soft lighting becomes the perfect place to relax after a relaxing bath. This type of project is a great example of how to combine functionality with elegance, creating a space that is conducive to relaxation and regeneration.

Inspiring bathroom arrangements

A bathing room is more than just a bathroom. Modern designs increasingly focus on arrangements that allow you to fully enjoy a moment of relaxation, while delighting with a unique design. In the rest of the article, we present two more inspiring ideas for bathroom arrangements. Each of the proposals was created with maximum comfort and aesthetics in mind.

Modern style bathing room

Inspiration - a modern bathroom with the Free Line series

A modern-style bathroom is a perfect combination of aesthetics, ergonomics and comfort. The proposed interior is a space designed to make maximum use of the available space while maintaining an elegant design.

The key element of the arrangement is the symmetrical corner bathtub from the Free Line series, which fits perfectly into the modern style. The bathtub is complemented with a dedicated casing, which creates a coherent and harmonious whole and at the same time provides access to the space under the bathtub. The shower area is equipped with a Free Line II shower enclosure with transparent swing doors, which gives lightness to the entire interior. Additional advantages include elegant finishes and a minimalist design that perfectly matches modern arrangements.

The interior is given a unique character by the use of natural wood on the walls, warming the space and introducing a cosy atmosphere. It contrasts with graphite tiles, introducing a balance between warmth and cool elegance. A large window provides natural lighting, emphasizing the beauty of the materials used.

Luxury bathing salon

This bathing salon impresses not only with its functionality, but also with its luxurious finish, which emphasizes its unique character. A large, panoramic window with a view is the focal point of the arrangement, letting in plenty of natural light.

The bathing area is a free-standing bathtub with a modern form made of mineral cast. The Natur Mineral series is the essence of elegance. The minimalist form perfectly matches the classic wall panels, creating a harmonious whole. Next to it is a shower area with chrome details and dark finishes with marble elements - a symbol of luxury and timeless style. The transparent Walk-In cabin gives lightness.

The stylish dark glass washbasin placed on a green countertop also attracts attention - an element that adds a touch of modernity and freshness to the arrangement. Subtle details, such as designer lighting or an elegant herringbone floor, make the interior exude luxury and class.

A bathing salon in this version is not only a usable space, but also a place of relaxation that resembles the best spa - ideal for resting after a long day.
