A chic and refined bathroom: how to make it beautiful in a few simple steps

How to furnish a bathroom in a chic and refined way? Which colours, styles and accessories to focus on? We explain everything in this article.

There is no doubt that having a comfortable and cosy, yet chic and sophisticated bathroom is a very common desire.

This is why, when choosing the most suitable furnishing style for our home, we must devote more care and attention than usual to the bathroom, not only because the choice of quality furniture and sanitary ware is important for an aesthetically pleasing result, but also because the beauty of design must necessarily also take into account practicality of use.

The bathroom, together with the kitchen, is in fact one of the rooms in the house where the most moisture accumulates, and where it is essential that the furniture is beautiful, but also comfortable to use and above all safe.

So how to furnish your bathroom in the right way if you want it chic and refined?

Undoubtedly, one of the styles to look to for inspiration is the classic and even somewhat vintage style, which can of course be customised according to one's own taste, drawing inspiration from the furnishings of the past but bringing them up to date with the right accessories.

Always the vintage atmospheres In terms of design, furnishing a bathroom in a vintage style undoubtedly means aiming for a refinement and elegance of bygone days that can be interpreted in many different ways.

First of all for furnishing a bathroom in a chic and refined way one must start with the choice of the colour palette: although it is possible to choose dark tones such as black and grey, usually associated with an idea of universal sophistication, a bathroom furnished with light colours certainly has a whole other flavour and immediately looks bigger and brighter.

Light colours, to be used for walls and cabinets, especially in shades such as beige, peach, powder pink and ivory, are the best choice to achieve a refined and chic ambience to be customised according to one's taste.

Secondly, materials must be chosen: the light wood will be the best ally of a chic and sophisticated bathroomas well as the steel details for the tub feet (to be chosen strictly in vintage style) and the cabinet knobs.

The latter play a crucial role: not only do they complete the look of your bathroom, they should be chosen in quality and possibly ergonomically designed to ensure a firm and secure grip even when your hands are wet.

For example, Polideas suggests a series of designer knobs and handles to complete the look of the bathroom in a unique and personalised way, perfect for adding a refined and unexpected touch to shabby chic style cabinets with the effect of used.

On the floor, wooden parquet, instead of the usual tiles, will create a warm and cosy atmosphere.

To make your bathroom even more vintage, go for elements that make the differenceposition the bathtub in the centre of the room and customise the walls with minimalist paintings and mirrors, juxtaposing them with contemporary-looking glass shelves, using shelf support such as the one proposed by Polideas.

Or use i antique Polideas knobs as unusual clothes hangers, towels and bathrobes, transforming the walls in a chic and practical way.

If space permits, add to your bathroom a small sofa as used in the Parisian flats of yesteryear, a small antique table on which to place soaps and towels, perhaps inside a practical and elegant box such as those by Polideas, and a porcelain jug with fresh flowers.

Finally, in a chic and refined bathroomattention to detail: top it all off with lace curtains and a beautiful chandelier chandelier like those of yesteryear.
