Invite nature inside
We love natural wood – from light types of wood to darker tones. Nordic decoration is light and open, with lightweight, functional furniture and beautiful, simple details. Adding natural wood to your design creates images of untamed Scandinavian scenery, and brings liveliness to the bathroom. We have wooden decors in several of our ranges, but Calidris in particular stands out in this area. All Calidris wooden elements are over-veneered on solid oak edges, and this provides uniform quality with a more beautiful, natural grain and texture. Read more about oak veneer in Calidris.
If you want to create a bathroom that exudes personality and a unique style, then you can also combine wooden sides with lacquered fronts on the furniture.
When you start your bathroom renovation, you can create a well defined look and bring nature even closer by incorporating a few green plants and muted colours that blend into each other.
And last but not least: do not abandon your own personality as you search for pure Nordic design, but let your own personal preferences combine with one of the different decorating styles and create your own interpretation of it. Your bathroom must also be practical for everyday use, and it should be evident that you are the person who lives there.
From pastel shades to BOLD colours
Your decorating style can take advantage of colour combinations if you choose the right ones. Colours affect both your mind and your mood, and add personality and liveliness.
When you start your bathroom renovation, discreet pastel colours can help to keep the light, uncluttered and airy look but still add extra personality. This is also true when pastels are used on the bathroom furniture as well as the walls.
You can play with bolder colours in many ways in your design – a colourful piece of bathroom furniture can be like artwork in its own right in the bathroom. The secret here is to let the chosen colour do itself justice without becoming too dominant. This way you can get a stylish bathroom with lots of personality.
White on white
Are you one of those people who just really like white? Well, it is not that unusual. White is the colour that reflects light most effectively, and we all need lots of light.
Of course you can create your dream bathroom with white bathroom furniture on white walls. White can also create a cosy mood and make a bathroom exude a pleasant ambience. It is important, however, that the colours you add in the form of elements such as accessories and plant pots are gentle and warm, with surfaces that are not too sleek like plastic or steel.
Tone in tone
You can also decorate your room in the same shades when you carry out your bathroom renovation. This gives a well-thought-out look with an exclusive and calm feel when keeping the walls and the bathroom furniture in a tone-in-tone palette. The luxurious effect of a tone-in-tone palette is sometimes used to make small areas seem bigger.
If you have a favourite colour that features throughout your home decor, then you can have our bathroom furniture in precisely the shade you desire.
Decorating in this way is eye-catching and subtle, yet on-trend and will stand out – attracting your guests’ attention.
Vintage
Vintage designs are generally considered to be looks and accessories in styles pre-dating the 1970s. To create a romantic and functional retro look without appearing outdated, it is important to have a natural balance between the vintage style and the modern elements. By bringing organic forms into the room, e.g. a mirror, or with curved fronts on the units, you can make the vintage style extra feminine and decorative.
When you combine these elements from the past with new design, it is possible to bring back the past in your unique look, and at the same time furnish your home in a personal, decorative and timeless style.
Urban
Urban is a relatively masculine and minimalist style, but at the same time it is still personal and evocative. The colours are often kept in cooler shades such as grey, white, black and brown, although they look great when combined with individual colourful elements. If you combine this style with large green plants or cactuses, you can create a Green Urban look.
Stringent, clean lines and functional products are keywords in this style, so you furnish the room with attractive design, solid craftsmanship and functionality. That is to say even a bike can be used as a decorative element, since it has a function, or a large television is also regarded as a sculpture for the wall in this style, since it has a function at the same time.
So when you start on your bathroom renovation in an Urban style, the elements are characterised by underplayed simplicity, with very plain materials, often with glass and natural materials such as wood.
Classic
The Classic style makes use of clean, simple lines that can be broken positively with modern details. So if you like things sophisticated, elegant and refined, then the classic style is ideal for your bathroom renovation.
The classic traits of our Danish design traditions show clearly in every detail, creating an elegantly timeless look. This decorating style is distinguished by being spacious, warm, light and balanced. Symmetry is an important factor, so repetition, of furniture and accessories in pairs, will provide a welcome feeling of balance and proportion in the bathroom.
STYLE Your own home
It is unusual for home interior design to be entirely in a single style, and it is the small details in a room that reveal your personality and make it specifically yours. After all, there is no right or wrong way when it comes to bathroom renovation and decorating.
Your very own personal yet functional bathroom can be created by mixing and matching different styles. It is important to make use of contrasts, that is to say putting things together that usually ‘do not belong together’. It might be wood in combination with steel or plastic, or an angular shape combined with organic forms, and so on.
It is a matter of thinking outside the box and being bold when you start work on your bathroom renovation.
