Take a breath of fresh air with a Mediterranean style bathroom!
Discover the warmth, radiance and tranquility of a Mediterranean bathroom design – in this article we explore how you can bring the sunshine and vibrancy of the coast to your bathroom.
Bringing the outside in
The Mediterranean is synonymous with sunshine, and to create a Mediterranean style bathroom, light is essential. Windows without curtains, sheer fabrics and light colours inspired by villas on a Greek island… White can be the star of your bathroom, enlivened with splashes of blues, ochre, red or green. Basic accessories and minimalist bathroom furniture work excellently, and will bring an uncluttered look to your peaceful haven.
The allure of nature
As well as light, nature in all its forms is crucial for a Mediterranean style bathroom. Introducing plants, wild flowers and shells into the bathroom will immediately set the scene. Using natural materials in the bathroom, for example a basin on top of a countertop in wood and wicker baskets for toiletries, will bring nature into the room bathroom. You can also introduce classically-styled details, in the form of brassware for example, to subtly transport your bathroom to an era where time moved slower, alluding to the leisure of the Med.
Textures and details
Visible wooden beams, plaster, cement or stone walls, combined with rustic tiles, provide the true character of modern Mediterranean bathroom design. Combining different textures – for example with rugs, stools and mirrors – will highlight the originality of your bathroom space, and suggest a handcrafted touch. Glass bottles and jars are also useful for creating the ambience of the Mediterranean as they let light flow freely. The end result will be a tranquil and uplifting space, reminiscent of a beautiful morning by the sea…
