Vita badrum: Klassiskt och elegant
Stil & Trends
It is an absolute classic: a vibrant white bathroom. White bathroom ceramics, as well as white tiles, have always been and will continue to be the prevailing standard. Bathroom furniture in white has always been very popular as well. That's why a white bathroom will never be boring or outdated by any means. In the following article, we will show you different ways to design a white bathroom in a modern or classic style, what other colors make a perfect addition to white, and the many advantages that a white bathroom has to offer.
Accent with faucets:
A purely white bathroom can sometimes appear sterile. This is easy to counteract with the addition of small accents. Bathroom faucets in gold or bronze underscore the clean and elegant look of a white bathroom and also make a more vibrant impression.
Wood elements:
Similarly, you can put a natural touch on your white bathroom using wood. Lighter woods make the perfect addition to white, bringing depth and structure to the overall look.
Unusual finishes:
To lend some additional nuance to your white bathroom, you can choose alternative finishes rather than conventional tiles. For example, using marble in white – or a marble look – your bathroom can be transformed from a somewhat sterile room into a true luxury bathroom.
Lighting:
Lighting is always a decisive factor for the mood in a room. This is especially true of a white bathroom because the effect of the lighter color is readily influenced by the quality of the light. Warm lighting will counteract any impression of sterility, making the room feel warm and homey instead. If you are not one to shy away from experimenting, you can also try out lamps in different colors – white walls and finishes will take on the color of the lighting and you can easily change the aesthetics of the room at any time with the touch of a button.
Wall color:
The best place to add some beige to a white bathroom is arguably as a wall color. It has an immediate effect, making a beige wall color a great recommendation if you otherwise don't want to make any major changes to your white bathroom. This will make the room seem warmer and more natural with relatively little effort.
Tiles:
Larger tiles in light, sandy shades of beige work especially well here. Adding some wood finishes to your white bathroom makes a very harmonious impression, which can be rounded off with white ceramics to great effect.
Wood finishes:
As is often the case, wood makes the perfect addition to a white bathroom. Combining white and green doesn't change that fact; quite the opposite is true. This is because wood enhances the impression of nature. Light woods as well as dark woods will work really well.
Bathroom plants:
There is no more natural a green than the green of houseplants. This makes adding them to any bathroom in green and white all the more recommended. You can make your bathroom feel like your very own cozy woodland retreat.
Brass and copper for the faucets:
While classic silver faucets will fit into a bathroom in green and white without any issues, using other colors can still add a special touch. Brass and copper will fit right in with the natural ambience you've created.
White and black bathrooms:
White is an excellent way to break up an otherwise dark bathroom in black. Conversely, black can add the needed depth to a white bathroom.
White and blue bathrooms:
This classic combination is the recommended look for a maritime effect. You can create an especially charming effect by varying the shades of blue that you use. Here, too, adding wood finishes can enhance the aesthetic even more.
White and gold bathrooms:
As mentioned earlier, gold bathroom faucets can put a particularly elegant touch on a white bathroom. This can be further underscored by adding other gold features, ranging from door handles down to metal elements on the ceramics or bathroom furniture.
White and gray bathrooms:
Gray is a really trendy color in the bathroom and works perfectly in combination with white. You can find out how best to achieve this look and learn what an entire bathroom in this color combination looks like in our article on gray bathrooms.
