No more confined space down the hall of our grandparents, head of modesty, reserved for hygiene. The bathroom now claims its place in the privacy of the room, in close relationship with the dressing. It is “privatizing” it appears, wants to see is … It can all afford!

Proof? Its share of our budget is spent in ten years from 5 300 to 6800 euros. She became the kitchen of the place more attention to our aesthetic and practical living spaces.

Two basic questions.

Today, interior designer, must first study the behavior of the inhabitants of the place before starting.
Bath or shower? First question to ask when building this temple dedicated to our ego. Why not both, to hell with greed, a shower with powerful jets that surround you, titillate you, giving you the boost needed … to start the morning off and the bath, cozy, laid like a throne, with or without bubble to the warrior’s rest after a hard day’s work.
With or without toilet? That is the question. They dare more and more appear in this circle, without breaking the aesthetics of the whole. It’s new. It is true that the designers have considered them: Starck, Graves, …

Tell me who you are …

And I will draw you to the bathroom.
Cool or speed? Do you want a “lounge suite” cozy charm and delicacy while? Candlelight, former prosecutor in point of Hungary, delicately painted walls or hung-Va retro-tiled cast iron claw tub, large sink, chine in a junk shop and put together with love by your favorite plumber (rare!), Taps retro-and THG-icing on the cake in the bottom near the window, before the wispy curtains taffeta, or rather a deep armchair upholstered lounge chair, the seat of all the laziness!
Tonic? Maybe you’re more the type super active? So expect an accurate lighting, hard ground in large stone slab, or even exotic wood, concrete waxed. Here, the important thing is … the shower drain is incorporated! As for walls: in plaster made in Morocco “tedlakt” and especially not tile! The bathtub?

Redesigned by our brightest designers Starck always him, but Mr. Graves, N. Forster James Irving, all for Duravit. Provide round bowl or rectangular patch, placed on plans in minimal raw material (contractors call it the “bowl”), sleek-fitting Jacobsen for Vola, essential since the 60′s and present at Moma in New York espaliers lifting, for the health conscious … and oversized mirrors placed on the ground for narcissism!

The nature of the decoration style is “any plant”, for those who identify with the spirit world traveler nostalgic for a hotel bathroom, and finally do not forget the style bathroom family for those who need to share these moments .. with theirs.
We see, at the beginning of XXI century, the bathroom has become a space in itself, reflects the lifestyle of each of. For this reason, it has become recently the favored expressions of designers and interior designers.
So, the bathroom, a reflection of the ego? For me, the answer is no question, but … You be the judge!
