Choosing materials
Designers today are rarely limited to the trim of the bathroom with one material. Several coatings create a dynamics and give design: you can select certain zones and adjust the proportions of the room.
Paint
Find the right paint is easy. Water-emulsion, latex, acrylic and silicone compositions are suitable. Often, to facilitate the choice, manufacturers indicate the purpose of this or that product - they write on the packaging "for the bathroom". The compound compositions are not afraid of temperature drops and steam, water (and mold), and also differ in wear resistance, because the bathroom is a liner room.
The budget is not always determining the moment in choosing a paintwork. If you plan to paint a small surface, choose the compositions of more expensive. For large areas, the compositions of the middle category will be suitable. We do not recommend save: often a cheap material is not too good hiding, it means that for painting you will need a few cans more. Therefore, the savings does not always exit economical.
Tile
This choice is a bit more complicated, but also wider. Usually, several species are combined in the design, at least two. The design option with three is already more complicated, but also possible.
The first solution is the types of coating. For decoration of the walls, the plates of porcelain stoneware are fit, and classical ceramics. But the floors are better to separate the penny, it is stronger and last longer. In some projects you can see the ceiling trim with porcelain stoves. Such a reception designers are used to create a specific geometry. For example, when they want to visually stretch the shower of a building type - it turns out very effectively. For the ceiling, only a very thin porcelain stoneware with a thickness of about 3 mm is suitable.
The second point is worth considering - size. If the room is small, it is better to take the middlework. They visually adjust the parameters of the room, while too large or small, on the contrary, the disadvantages will emphasize.
For accents, the rules are not such strict. Here you can use even a small mosaic, especially if you do not plan to highlight a whole wall.
Additional
Designers use not only ceramics and paint. They are introduced into the interior additional textures. The following materials are greatly combined with tiles and paint in the bathroom.
- Stone slabs. They can be combined with porcelain stoneware, but on different surfaces (for example, the latter is put on the floor). Then there will be no problems with different material thickness. At the same time, it is worth choosing a porcelain stoneware, because it is almost impossible to get into the color and texture.
- Wood. Another actual material that will give the design heat, softness and comfort. As a finish, the moisture-resistant MDF panels are used. But they are found further from wet areas. They are suitable only in the bathrooms of the middle and large square, in small better limit to wooden furniture. It turns out the same effect.
Methods of combination of tiles and paints in the bathroom
There are three basic options for combining coatings. Consider each more.Tile in the wet zone
This technique is most often used in small rooms, where it makes no sense to completely cover the walls with ceramics. Designers use it only in certain places. This is usually a bath screen, a wall behind the bowl, a zone near the toilet bowl and sink. In a large bathroom, where there is an open-type shower, its space can also stand out.
If you analyze projects, you can notice certain rules for the combination.
- Most often, the bath screen is drawn up as a rear wall or as a floor.
- There are also separate decorations of the screen, but it is not necessary to repeat such a reception.
- Walls behind the toilet and sink can be performed in a single style. They can supplement the shelves and niches from gypsum cabarton decorated with ceramics.
Combination on Polastna
Such a combination involves the separation of the wall into two sections. The bottom is drawn up tiles, the top is painted. Some of this reception resembles the Soviet interior. But it does not lose relevance from this, it is a classic. The only question is what proportions you will use. Western designers use a 1: 2 ratio, where the third takes the lower part, and the rest is painted wall. Maybe the opposite.
The most obvious form of facing for this solution is a brick. It can be laid both horizontally and vertically. If you want to add even more speakers, the laying can be rotated or displaced. Interesting move: a combination of several shades of one type of ceramics. Cool look 2-3 colors. Try to make them different widths, this option will be more interesting.
When using neutral brick on the wall, you can experiment with the floor finish. For example, the attached tile.
The joint can be left untreated, with even laying it looks neatly. In neoclassical decorations, it is often decorated with a ceramic curly side or metal molding.
Figured combination
The most uncomfortable and creative combination of tiles and paints in the bathroom is figure. It is similar to the selection of the wet zone, however there is more space for fantasy both with the selection of figures and the place. This method is used in kitche-style stylistics, eclectics and in modern interiors.
Ceramics of any form are suitable for coating: from bricks to hexagons. Moreover, hexagon or scales will look even more extravagant. You can experiment and with color. But keep in mind that a bright spot on a neutral background will be knocked out. It is desirable to maintain a similar finish on another area or accessories.
What zones are suitable for allocation? The harmonious such decor will look in the zone of the shell or bowls. Please note: the one, and the other must stand separately, without niches and Tumb. Otherwise, this plot may look overloaded.
How to combine colors
The main interior rule: the base color should occupy about 60% of the design, additional - 30% and accent - 10%. This principle is to be guided in the selection of color proportions.
Often paint becomes a basic coating. It will determine the main gamut. If you do not want to risk, we advise you to select softer, neutral tones: This is a classic beige palette, gray, dairy tone. Alternatively, gray-blue and greenish shades can be viewed. Ceramics in this case becomes a supplement. And here you already use brighter solutions that will approach texture and color.
You can try and vice versa: as the main tone to use a bright gamut. Very spectacular in the photo looks deep saturated tones of the type of berry purple, blue navi and emerald. And to balance the colorful database can be neutral gray, white or black tile.
Outdoor tiles, if you use a fitted wall, can supplement the main gamut, dilute its texture.
