Japanese Beauty

Traditionally, baths in Japan are used for relaxing rather than cleaning the body, a tradition which is reflected in their bathroom design. Japanese bathrooms are created as a sanctuary defined by clean lines, minimalistic furnishings and the use of a multitude of natural products.

I’ve always loved this particular style for its simplicity and elegance. It’s also a style which can be duplicated with budget range products or the crème de la crème. It works well in large areas and small. It also lends itself well to areas which are generally quite dark. Such a large expanse of white gives light to the room, while any remaining shadows enhance the concept and add drama and depth.

This concept consists of four main elements; white walls, dark charcoal-black floors, natural timber vanities/detailing and natural stones. I also love how plants play a feature role in this style. They soften the distinct lines and strong colours, promoting a calming effect within the room and with such a large array of fake plants on the market it’s easy to find something which suits your application perfectly, without requiring any TLC.

Everything about this style is so simple, yet so effective. It doesn’t require lots of fussy little things to finish it off (and collect dust), just a few well thought out objects strategically placed around the  room. 

This style doesn't just give you a luxury bathroom (or home), but a sanctuary. Somewhere you can escape to after a long day at work, or when the kids are driving you absolutely mental.
