The bathroom is increasingly becoming a room worthy of all the attention in a home. The latest trends see the bathroom becoming a real "sanctuary" of beauty and well-being, a place where you can enjoy long moments of relaxation and therefore a room that needs a real design in terms of space, surfaces, finishes, colors and lighting. Whether you have a larger or smaller surface area, the bathroom today is designed with materials and colors that reflect the style chosen for the rest of the house.

Surfaces

First and foremost, an enormous change from the past is the new materials used for the bathroom surfaces.

The old tiles in more or less pastel colors have long since been replaced with an incredible variety of ceramics in the most diverse colors and textures. They range from large slabs that perfectly simulate natural stone, wood, with a lot of relief veining, mosaics and even real frescoes created digitally with themes and proportions adapted to each environment, to resins as soft to the touch as silk that make the surfaces perfectly uniform, simulating the ancient technique of tadelact typical of the Maghreb and so rich in charm and elegance. All enriched by a great simplicity of maintenance that makes all these elegant surfaces very suitable for even the most humid areas such as the shower cubicle.

Furniture.

The furnishing in terms of furniture and sanitary, has also seen a considerable innovation, introducing elements that conceal their real function more and more function, increasingly resembling true works of design, with hidden openings and futuristic lines. futuristic lines. An enormous attention has been given to the tactile side of materialsused for the bathrooms, in order to create an atmosphere of pleasantness at three hundred and sixty degrees.

Materials, warm and as much as possible in line with the sensations offered by nature. The pool has taken on proportions more similar to small swimming pools, with all sorts of comforts, from the ergonomics of the forms to the introduction of controls capable of diffusing colors, scents and sounds tailored to each need.

The shower is accessorized with jets of water that simulate a massage of the goddess Calì or purifying and decontracting steam blasts decontracting. And today's shower heads bear no resemblance to their ancestors, but instead offer the experience of a tropical the experience of a tropical rain shower, a Dolomite waterfall or a Yellostonian gaiser! Yellostone! A real journey in short.

Lighting

This chapter requires the intervention of a professional at the design stage if you want your bathroom lighting to complete the idyllic picture mentioned above. You should providedifferent types of light source as needed, You can in fact provide a soft light for a long relaxing bath, at the limit regulated by a dimmer, but you will have to but you will also have to provide a strong frontal light for the mirror area, suitable for makeup or shaving. Finally, when the design allows it I love to introduce a floor lighting perfect for at night, to guide our steps without waking us up at all.

Towels

And upon exiting our endless steam baths in the pure waters of our domestic hot spring!!! Huge fluffy terrycloth towels in the finest colors, elegant bathrobes that embrace you voluptuously, and super soft carpets to walk on like a cloud. So even the choice of towels must follow precise rulesthat harmonize the colors and textures chosen for our temple, and do not spoil the magnificent work done by our interior designer.

My advice is to use thick and soft sponges, we then combine elegant linen borders that also sartorially finish our sponges in sync with the rest of the linens in the house and reflect our and your love for quality materials How many Towels should I purchase for my luxury bathroom?

How many sets of towels should a home have? In my opinion we should consider at least three, but better four for each family member. This is to allow for frequent changes without the risk of being out of stock. When I speak of complete I mean the three basic sizes: the shower towel 150x100 cm, the face towel 100x60 cm and the guest towel 60x40 cm. It would also be good to have at least three pairs (face and guest) of towels for an occasional guest and a dozen washcloths to place on the sink for a brief visit, such as a dinner. Do not forget a couple of baskets portavette ... On the use of the lavette I have spoken in a previous post to which I refer you here

Accessories

Even in the choice of accessories we now have an almost infinite range that will allow you to create combinations of colors and materials to the surfaces chosen for your bathroom. Soap dishes and holders carved from precious semi-hard stones or hand-chiseled in precious metals are available for sale. One of the bathroom items I love the most are laundry baskets, but not as simple as always beautiful wicker baskets.

We're talking in the case of luxury bathrooms of hand-stitched leather containers, or heavy canvas with fine wood texture. Do you have the space? Do you remember the old mute servant to put your clothes or robe on? Today you can also have it in a more elegant, design and accessorized version. In short, the bathroom becomes the place of pampering of a dandy or a star to the glamorous Mrs Carrie Bradshaw of Sex & the City!
