Romantic relaxation: pastels for the bathroom

Modern, romantic and shabby chic: lots of delicate nuances for styles that are different but always bon ton

When the warmer weather arrives, it also fills our wardrobe and homes with colour: everything around us smells fresh and new and we yearn for cheerfulness and energy, but also for soft, relaxing shades that add a touch of elegance and charm to the rooms around the home. In the summer, pastel shades that easily blend in with different furnishing styles dominate. If you are planning to restyle some parts of your home, take inspiration from the latest trends, also for the bathroom.

EXQUISITELY COSY COLOURS

In this room dedicated to body care, pale, subtle and soft colours envelope us in a reinvigorating mood of relaxation. Furniture and accessories, floor and wall coverings: nothing is left to chance because each element can be fine-tuned to our personal taste using the same colour range. Turquoise and sage green, pastel pink, lavender, powder blue and light blue, canary yellow, milky white: these colours can be used in endless ways for country-style furniture or mosaic wall tiles, for more contemporary furniture or delightfully shabby chic.

CONTEMPORARY ROMANTICISM

Romantic-style bathrooms are elegantly chic. They blend modern and vintage tastes to re-create the charming atmosphere of bygone days. Light colours dominate: from powder pink to ivory, from cream to beige, the colour range always focuses on delicate shades and soft lines. This would not be complete without exquisite designer details that add extra charm to the room.

DELICATE ELEGANCE

Furnishing accessories are crucial to giving a room a neat, personal touch. In a romantic-style bathroom, for example, the wash basin can rest on elegant wrought-iron legs or a more practical, light-coloured wooden cabinet – naturally with strictly vintage taps. Towels with a crochet trim can be stored on shelves while a full-length mirror is not only useful but makes the space seem larger and cosier; as a temporary rest for bath linen, add an armchair or chair with antique upholstery. If space is short, a gilt-edged mirror above the wash basin will be enough to give your reflection a special allure. Lighting should be warm and a hanging lamp in crystal will complete the style perfectly. To create a more intimate atmosphere, draped curtains in a pastel shade are a must. Place candles and perfumed bath salts around the tub, possibly in transparent glass jars, to make your moments of relaxation even more special.

LifeTiles: What do you think makes the Cementine by Ceramica Fioranese so unique and special?

The wall and floor coverings play a fundamental role in making your bathroom romantic and sweet yet modern at the same time. The FIO. range by Ceramica Fioranese has everything you need to give your bathroom character. FIO. symbolises the Made In Italy quality. It is a harmonious blend of the latest trends in design, craftsmanship and technology, and is composed of three series: Liquida, Liquida Slabs and Passepartout, all designed by Davide Tonelli. The Liquida collection enhances the charming shapes and designs of the 50’s, re-interpreted in new colours, transforming this tradition into a contemporary trend. Liquida is available in 6 colours and 8 different, very contemporary patterns. The surface is inspired by a natural, modern lime and the classic movements made when this is applied by hand.

Liquida Slabs is proposed in the size 120×260 cm: a decorative slab that reproduces the 8 patterns available in the size 20×20 cm in the same collection.
Finally, Passepartout is a truly special collection with ceramic panels in neutral or pastel shades, and exudes modern, sophisticated elegance, that is never boring.
