Theme Based Bathrooms

The bathrooms designs and styles have changed considerably in recent years in India. A few years ago bathroom designs and styles would mostly focus on utility and lighting, however, nowadays we see the inclusion of theme based bathrooms as well as some open bathrooms thereby posing as the latest trends in bathrooms. There is also significant use of indirect lighting. The indirect lighting is being appreciated world over as the latest trend in bathrooms. The changes we find are mostly in hotels and offices but they have started trickling down to homes as well. Consumers now place importance to a balance in utility and aesthetics.

Theme based décor in bathrooms depends on the décor of the home, the bathroom compliments the interiors. Themes in bathrooms are becoming more popular in India these days. The latest concept/styles preferred for bathrooms today are open bathrooms, extremely spacious as consumers take special care of their personal space and do like to spend their ‘quality’ time. Great lighting, lots of mirror work, windows, good vanity systems and colors for the bathroom preferred are white these days, but this again depends on the décor of the home, the bathroom compliments the interiors. Bathrooms with huge glass windows make the bath room look more expansive and gives a modern touch to the interiors. Bathtubs are the natural focal point as they give a dominant impact on the decorating style to a bathroom. Freestanding bathtubs are ideal for a person who loves to spend some soothing time in the bathroom.

Another trend topping the charts in the bathroom is the placement of bath tubs in the centre with 2 wash basins makes a difference. This will enable an open and expansive sense of space as you spend some much needed time relaxing and unwinding from life and all your troubles. Glass walls between the bedroom and bathrooms make spaces look more open and big. An extended outdoor shower accentuates the entire look as well.

The pipe collection today for bathrooms also comes with great benefits. If you want a simple shower then you need a major system of big and small pipes to take the water from the lake to your house through the heater and finally through the shower over the body. Now it is not a shower, it is a waterfall; it is a thick stream of cleansing fresh water.

Wall or floor-mounted version, with or without progressive ceramic cartridge mixer red handle. These could be regarded as the latest trends for bathrooms this summer.

Bathrooms can be calm and relaxing, even on weekday mornings with the help of sink cabinets, it gives you liberty to de-clutter your bathroom to save on time and chaos free mornings.
