These days, people are more particular about style. Back in the day, having a fully functional bathroom with all the necessary amenities was enough for most people. Today, people are more adventurous regarding style. If you are looking for a stylish and elegant look for your bathroom, consider a Mediterranean themed room. Given that this type of style is very popular these days, you can find many Mediterranean inspired elements in a typical bathroom showroom.
There are many things you can use to give your bathroom a Mediterranean look. Your options include natural stone countertops, mosaic backsplashes, marble, and terracotta elements as well as flowing fabrics. For your countertops, you can opt for unpolished marble. This type of countertop is reminiscent of many homes found in the Mediterranean such as rough walls used in many Santorini homes. You can also add carpets and curtains to polish up your bathroom.
As far as paint goes, try matte paint in shades of lime white. As an accent, you can also use blue paint in windowsills and doorframes. Other good color options include olive green, yellow, and lilac.
When picking tiles for your Mediterranean themed bathroom, pick out ceramic tiles with geometric or floral designs. For your walls, you can add a few small mosaics here and there. To make the look even more authentic, use wooden shelves to store bath towels, soaps, and shampoo. However, make sure that the wood that you use is treated to handle constant exposure to humidity and moisture.
