All about loft-style showers

Loft-style shower rooms are suitable for those who would like to change the classic canons and choose a modern style in interior design. Minimalism of style allows you to experiment and find successful and unexpected solutions for seemingly ordinary things, emphasizing the beauty of their details.

The bathroom is an important element of modern urban living, decorated in one style or another. The modern loft trend, which is gaining popularity, allows you to turn an ordinary shower into a stylish design element. The loft-style shower room emphasizes the freedom-loving character of the home owner, focusing on urbanization and nostalgia for the past. A shower cubicle made in an industrial style is not only functional, but also does not require large financial investments in its arrangement.

The features of the industrial style are several features.

• The minimum number of partitions in a spacious room. The shower room layout is skillfully divided into zones using various design techniques.
• The room has large windows and high ceilings, and the space is illuminated by a stream of natural light. Beams, pipes, ceilings can be located under the ceiling. The emphasis is on the horizontal plane, with its breakdown into several levels and zones.
• The walls of the room retain their original appearance - it can be concrete walls, brickwork, unpolished wood. Rough texture emphasizes deliberate negligence and a kind of charm.
• The interior blends modern pieces with details from the past. The contrast between old and new sets the tone for the entire space, resulting in a vivid industrial urbanism.

Based on the basic canons of style, designers create unique interiors. To emphasize the loft style, original furniture, lighting devices, finishing materials and plumbing are used.

The bathroom, like the rest of the loft-style rooms, is in harmony with each other, subject to a single style solution. Based on the design concept, a wide variety of materials are used to equip the shower room. Let's list them.

• Glass. This element is used for zoning space. This can be a glass partition or shower walls. Smooth transparent glass vases, lamps, shelves are used for decoration.

• Concrete. Quite a budgetary and durable material that can have different textures and colors. With its help, decorate the floor, walls, ceiling. Concrete is used to make a washbasin bowl, a stand for flower pots, and floor tiles.

• Ceramics. The loft style uses ceramic tiles for walls and floors. Its color, design and texture are selected in such a way as to highlight the room or zone its space.

• Wood. It is a natural textured material for finishing floors, walls, ceilings. Wood softens the perception of rough brickwork or concrete, creates a feeling of comfort and warmth.

• Brick. An effective design technique is considered to be brickwork or its imitation, made with ceramic tiles or plaster. In the bathroom, bricks are often painted white or gray.

An industrial style interior means the use of modern materials for the design of the bathroom. The approach to design can vary.

• Combining zones. When creating a loft direction, it is assumed that a partial or complete combination of zones of different purpose in a single space is assumed. The bohemian inhabitants of industrial premises did not welcome the creation of partitions, therefore, a bedroom, a bath, a kitchen and a living room were located on one large territory. Modern conditions are somewhat milder, they allow you to divide the space into small zones. For example, a loft-style bathtub is combined with a bedroom. But this solution is acceptable if the house has an additional shower and toilet.

• Separate zones. In this version, the bathroom can be a separate space, furnished in the loft style. In some houses, designers equip each individual room, choosing their own style for it. It may be so: each separate area is decorated in a single style solution, but without combining into a common space.

Plumbing of unusual shape and texture looks spectacular.

When choosing a traditional white bath, the room takes on a special chic.

The mirrored surface attracts attention and is one of the main design elements.

Large windows in the bathroom are one of the elements of the loft style.

The addition of living plants to the interior softens the perception of rough textures.
