Bathroom for him - minimalism in its pure form

Bathroom for him - minimalism in its pure form

The men's bathroom is characterized by the lack of unnecessary decorations, subdued, strong colours and natural materials. Retro decor is also often used, which contrasts with modern, simple furniture. Make your bathroom acquire adult, masculine and strong cut and meet your expectations in terms of comfort, functionality and appearance.

As the bathroom is a separate, closed room, it can boldly differ from the rest of the apartment. They treat her as a place that can deviate significantly from the rest and move you to another reality. Commonly used tiles can be replaced with concrete screed or wood. There are also special tiles that have an imitation wood structure pattern - functional, yet aesthetic and matching the concept.

The male bathroom kingdom definitely looks in darker colours - navy blue, brown or black give character and at the same time allow you to play with lighting and accessories. If you bet on tiles, make sure they have a high gloss. It is a classic solution that optically broadens the room, adding an additional glow and a pinch of elegance.

Shower enclosure - with or without a shower tray?

In men's bathrooms, they are rather shower enclosures with a shower tray, or walk-in type, separated by a glass window. Just which one to choose? In a shower enclosure with a shower tray and sliding doors, due to the number of elements, it is much harder to keep clean. There is also a problem with the shape of the shower tray, which may not fit into the whole idea of the bathroom - in contrast to the walk-in shower enclosure, which allows any space arrangement. Another solution is definitely a custom-made shower enclosure, the size of which can be adapted to the available space. Shower enclosures without a shower tray allow for a raw, modern look. When combined with tiles imitating wood or a concrete screed, it looks very designed. It is worth remembering, that if we decide on shower enclosures without a shower tray, it is important to shape the floor well to obtain the necessary slope towards the drain and to seal the floor, walls and wall of the shower enclosure perfectly. Protection against flooding is very important in this case, but at the same time such a solution allows you to maintain cleanliness easier.

Of course, it is nowhere said that the male style does not include the bathtub. Bathtubs with strong shapes will work in this decor. You can even try the bathtub in its original colour, but it is much harder to find.

Details

In the men's bathroom, as in all, you need to pay attention to the details. For example, all "shortcomings" can be turned into decorations and display them more against the background of the entire bathroom. Of course, we are talking here about pipes, radiators or cables. Protruding pipes, which there is no way to build, can be painted gray, yellow or rust so that they stand out against the background. This will again give a raw finish that is desired. The same applies to the radiator, which we usually replace with a towel dryer. Old, heavy, cast iron radiators can be sanded and painted with silver paint. It will look interesting as part of the decor, not the embarrassing thing that we want to hide.

 

Make sure the cabinets have a high gloss. This is mainly important for small bathrooms. All reflections and reflections optically enlarge the room and give it depth. If you use countertops, choose ones that are made of natural materials - wood, stone, cement. It is important that it is bright, because then you can choose any accessories in the color of the walls. An interesting alternative that is worth using are of course live flowers. However, if you know that caring for it cannot be difficult for you, you can choose artificial plants that also breathe freshness and a touch of modernity into the room.

Depending on what kind of man you are, you have different requirements. Make sure that your bathroom finally allows you to feel comfortable in it, and the decor does not overwhelm you. Male minimalism is a good and safe way out, because there are no restrictions in it. Create the bathroom of your dreams!
