Unwind after a long day at work and freshen up in style in your sleek, minimalist-style bathroom. How do you achieve the clean look, while still allowing the space to exude the ambience and character you want?
Luxury bathroom specialists at AXOR and hansgrohe advise homeowners to “focus on the important things that matter and discard the excess”.
Here’re some tips on creating an aesthetically pleasing look in an easy-to-clean home that will lend a relaxing vibe.
Bathroom Accessories
Dress up your bathroom with the right accessories, but don’t overdo it lest your bathroom starts looking cluttered and messy, Of course, the mess will soon start to spiral out of control – very quickly!
Accessories add the perfect finishing touch to any space, but it is important to choose the right decorative features to ensure your interiors do not look overbearing.
Consider multifunctional options for a minimalist home, such as the AXOR Universal Accessories collection (pictured above). Designed with smooth contours, they offer a selection that includes shelves that are built with handles and rails to offer convenience and safety.
White bathroom fixtures
Complement clean and bright bathrooms with fixtures in shades of chrome and white, such as hansgrohe’s award-winning Puravida fittings (pictured above). The sculptural appearances will add to your home’s luxe and artistic appeal!
Slim bathroom fittings
Freeing up space in the bathroom keeps your mind feeling relaxed and calm when you enter the area, while also ensuring your home is easy to clean and therefore hygienic.
By avoiding bulky accessories and fixtures, you can also enhance the sense of spaciousness. The AXOR One collection is one good example, with faucets and showerheads designed by Barber & Osgerby to be compact and flushed against walls, perfect for a modern, minimalistic look.
AXOR Uno
Choose one colour
Keep to a colour palette of two to three hues, so as to allow a holistic look that isn’t too loud or ostentatious. If you want to create an intimate, moody ambience, try a darker colour scheme of blacks and greys, and complement with accents of gold, bronze and brass.
Designed by Phoenix Design, AXOR’s latest Uno range is elegant and epitomises purism in perfection with consistent construction: two precisely shaped cylinders joined together at a right angle.
To offer further flexibility, AXOR offers the bespoke customisation service – AXOR Signature – where the AXOR bathroom fittings can be customised in up to 15 special finishes including brushed nickel and polished red gold.
