Bathroom materials

Focus on materials for furnishing the bathroom

Do you prefer to soak in the tub or sing at the top of your voice in the shower? You’ll agree that whatever your preference may be, the bathroom needs to offer comfort, functionality and be furnished with care, starting with the choice of colours and materials for the furniture: which should you opt for? Let’s find out together what the main materials are for the bathroom and which style they each suit the most.

Contemporary covering

In the majority of cases, a modern bathroom stands out for its shaped door, in textured decorative melamine or lacquered, glossy or matt, which together with the handle generates an elegant and tidy space: is this your cup of tea?

When it comes to colours, the palette is truly extensive: if you opt for white or pale hues, these are ideal for conveying that pleasant feeling of cleanliness, we recommend you create a bright contrast with the floor or coloured tiles; vice-versa, if your cabinets are coloured or dark, our tip is to “dampen” the effect and lighten the composition with pale ceramic tiles or vanity tops. What do you think of the Calce Bianco Porcelain Stoneware top with washbasin from the Formalia model?

Another peculiar aspect of contemporary bathrooms is the tendency to mix different materials in order to put together a bathroom packed with personality. One of these is without a doubt Diesel Open Workshop, which identifies both in the combination of white streaked marble and aluminium, as well as in the pairing of smoky effect glass and bronze-coloured aluminium, the focus point of a bathroom that makes a statement.

Similar, yet with a less underground styling, is the game of contrasts proposed by the Tratto bathroom, which combines the brilliant white of the ceramic sanitary ware, the shelves in slim sheet steel, brass finish, and the matching taps: the result is truly attractive, don’t you agree?

Bathroom with a retro taste

Don’t underestimate the appeal of wooden bathroom cabinets, the undisputed emblem of a warm and comfortable setting: have you heard of Baltimora? This project boasts a wide array of door colours, in detail White Ash, Absolute White, Tobacco, London and Havana, which can be teamed with sophisticated handles and unprecedented knobs, also available in gold or silver finish and with Swarovski™ inserts for that wow effect.

Not to mention the tops available in this model, made of prized materials such as marble, granite and arabescato stoneware: which one do you prefer? Even the choice of sanitary ware and bathtub/shower reflects this engagement, contributing to furnishing a setting that is much more than simply sophisticated, where pampering yourself is natural and easy.
