Theme Based Bathrooms

A bathroom is a space where one spends time unwinding under the shower and relaxing after a hard day’s work.  Earlier bathroom designs and style were emphasized on only utility and lightning but now various kinds of style have come up. One such is the theme based bathrooms. Themes such as aqua marine, beach theme, outdoor bathroom to name a few.

Aqua marine theme bathrooms give a very refreshing, soothing and pleasant feel as it is inspired from natural colors and textures of the sea. It is best for people who love the beach and the sea and don’t get time to be out there. This theme is gaining a lot of popularity and thus there are many accessories available that one can choose from.

Similarly, an open air bath gives the feeling of being connected to nature and also adds an exotic touch to your home. An open bath also lends a spacious look and adds value to the design aesthetics to create an atmosphere wherein one can spend quality relaxing time. Accessories such as wall tiles, floor tiles, bath tubs, sinks etc are available at Studio Creo for creating such beautiful bathroom at your home and feeling more near to the sea or beach.

Tips for selecting the perfect colour for your home.

Choosing the right colour for your wall is the most important thing when doing up a home. If the colour treatment goes wrong then the entire design or look of the house goes wrong. So, one must be very sure about the paint they want to use. The shades of blue or green have always been a very popular colour every year as they are very calming and pleasant to look at. The pastel shades such as mauve, grey, peach or lavender that give a very relaxing touch to the entire environment of the house are something that everyone is going for. They are light colors and so they make the room look bright and spacious. People have also started using natural shades such as grey, green, brown, black or yellow. It gives the feel of nature inside the house. Amongst the natural colour grey is the strongest colour as it comes in so many shades and looks very serene.

One can also experiment with wall papers by doing an entire wall or just by doing something in the center of the wall to give the room an artistic look. Another way to do the wall is use lighter shades of earth tones and neutrals and add pops of colour in the wall with art work, window treatments or rugs. One can also paint an accent wall with a colour on the same paint strip but darker or lighter tone. To make the room look spacious, paint the wall with the similar shade like the floor tile. Like if the floor tiles are of brown or blue then paint the walls with lighter shade of brown or blue. It makes the room look bigger.

It is also important to choose the wall colour according to the size of the room. If a room is small and one uses bold colors then it makes the room look more small and stuffed. For this season lighter shades or pastel shades are something that one should go for.
