Bathroom in oriental style

The East is famous not only for its fragrant sweets, languid dances or Asian mysteries. Since ancient times, the local population has been sensitive to the issue of maintaining personal hygiene, turning taking a bath into a kind of ritual. Therefore, creating an interior in an apartment, shrouded in the spirit of the East, requires special attention to every little detail - from the color palette of the walls, floor and ceiling, to the choice of a suitable faucet. There are two main directions - Asian and North African. Despite the design nuances, an oriental-style bathroom follows the basic concept, which implies achieving a general atmosphere and local flavor through original glass and fabric painting, the use of mosaics, stone, pointed arches, exclusively natural materials and traditional oriental decorative elements.

Bathroom in oriental style - what are the directions?

The concept combines broad ideas and national characteristics characteristic of several countries. The term is truly multifaceted, because it is based on the culture of many peoples living in different climatic conditions.

The following types are distinguished:

1. Japanese. The bathhouse, decorated in this version, is an ode to minimalism. For interior decoration, natural materials, muted pastel colors, and a minimum of decorations are used.
   

2. Chinese. Speaking about this direction, it is worth mentioning Feng Shui. It was the doctrine of internal harmony that formed the basis. It is characterized by a large amount of light and rounded edges. All corners should be occupied by furniture or design elements.
   

3. Indian. A distinctive feature is lush, bright decor and natural materials. Variegated tiles or mosaics with national designs, glossy wood, and a large number of decorations - these are the main components inherent in Indian design.
   

4. Turkish. The most popular design option for a bathhouse with an oriental character. The main features are natural motley mosaic, tiles with damask print, bright “Turkish cucumber” pattern, rich colors.
   

5. Egyptian. Rich and luxurious style.
   

6. Moroccan. Bright and elegant, fabulous design.
   

Important! Traditional design is extremely demanding on the size of the room. Therefore, Asian minimalism is better suited for miniature rooms, and luxurious and colorful North African flavor is better suited for spacious interiors.

Features of the Japanese oriental style

Elegance and thoughtful simplicity are the main characteristics of the design. Nothing superfluous, laconic forms and design, soft shades - a palette of blue, peach, beige, pink, coffee, terracotta tones. Yellow and black are often present.

Properly selected plumbing fixtures will emphasize the Chinese theme - preference should be given to square models with rounded edges. The bowl or sink itself can be framed in real wood. Often the tank is installed on a podium with closed sides.

Wooden furniture should be low. A set made of natural bamboo will fit perfectly.Sharp corners should be masked with chests of drawers or miniature cabinets.

Attention! The room should be well lit. To do this, you can hang stylized sconces or lamps, or take red paper lanterns treated with a water-repellent compound.

Wealth and luxury are the main features of the Egyptian character. Therefore, it is more suitable for spacious rooms.

The palette that sets the mood is from pale yellow to golden, with additional shades of brown being used - from chocolate to pastel.

To decorate the walls and ceiling, textured plaster painted in sand or golden color is used. Original architectural solutions - columns or elaborate arches - look harmonious.

Furniture made from real wood should be decorated with gilding, which is also applied to the frame framing the mirror.

Preference should be given to plumbing fixtures that fit into the overall color scheme. This could be a sand shell or a bowl decorated with golden ornaments.

Reference. When creating an interior, instead of the usual tank, you can install a modern volumetric Jacuzzi on a pedestal.

• red;
• blue.

Luxury and alluring beauty are the embodiment of the Moroccan spirit, which has become the personification of a mysterious fairy tale for the inhabitants of Europe. A room decorated in a traditional design is the brightest, defiantly elegant, but at the same time completely elegant in content.

• deep shades of red;

• brown;
• orange;
• deep tones of blue: ultramarine, turquoise, cobalt.

Architectural solutions are of no small importance - lancet window and door openings, niches for installing mirrors or hanging shelves.

To decorate the walls, it is better to use tadelakt plaster - it allows you to achieve a marble pattern. The miniature mosaic print looks beautiful. This can be a traditional ornament, a star pattern, a black and white geometric or floral ornament. Mosaics can be used to decorate not only walls, but also tabletops. This way it will flow smoothly from one surface to another.

The spirit of Morocco will be emphasized by plumbing fixtures made of black natural stone, bronze faucets and a faucet with an unusual spout. When choosing furniture, preference should be given to low models with massive armrests.

Reference. You can emphasize the Moroccan flavor with the help of brass lamps, decorated with multi-colored glass inserts or intricate embossing.

The Turkish bath is distinguished by exquisite wealth, grace and a minimum of furniture. Therefore, it will appeal to pedantic people who prefer order in everything.

To emphasize the atmosphere, you need to use:

1. Miniature mosaic - artificially aged looks good.
2. Unusual patterns, without images of people or animals. The “Turkish cucumber” pattern is especially often used.
3. Natural materials.
4. Expensive elegant furniture.

6. A sink stylized as a copper basin.
