Variety of shapes and designs of Ikea bathroom furniture

When starting to decorate a bathroom interior, it is important to decide on the choice of furniture among a wide variety of models on the modern market. Everyone wants bathroom furniture of high quality, stylish, ergonomic, versatile and affordable. IKEA products combine all these qualities.

IKEA is the world's largest retail chain selling furniture and home furnishings. This Dutch group of companies promotes Scandinavian style in interior design, selling furniture and related products for home and summer cottages in many countries of the world. The advantage of the IKEA brand is its focus on the mass consumer. The products of this retail chain are distinguished by their original style, low price, affordable delivery and ease of assembly.

IKEA appeared in Russia in the early 2000s and quickly won the hearts of buyers. Today, furniture and decor of this brand are widely used in the interior design of city apartments. Some designers are beginning to distinguish the IKEA style in an independent direction along with the modern, loft, high-tech, and Provence styles. White surfaces in combination with wood trim and bright decorative elements, play of light, competent organization of storage areas are the main differences of the IKEA style. The company keeps up with the times, following the habits and trends of modern life, focusing on consumers - owners of small apartments and studios. Freedom of style and simplicity of design are very relevant when decorating the interior of small bathrooms.

One of the basic principles of a Scandinavian style bathroom from IKEA is open space. The smaller the area of ​​the room, the fewer pieces of furniture and decor should be. Washbasin cabinets are hinged and have a glossy surface that reflects light, thereby increasing the space of the room. The more open shelves, the better. The shelves are functional and at the same time create a feeling of lightness and weightlessness, if they are not overloaded with bathroom accessories and cosmetics. Wooden shelves, narrow pencil cases, and wicker laundry baskets have become popular.

If the bathroom is large, you can choose furniture and wardrobes with legs from the Lillangen or Silveran models. Cleaning underneath them is also quite simple. All IKEA furniture models are quite practical. Tall, narrow pencil cases are gaining popularity in which both small items and bulky bottles with household chemicals can be folded. Most often, such pencil cases are single-leaf, with a dull or mirrored facade. Most of the models are made of chipboard, but there are also structures made of natural wood. For those who like to apply makeup in the bathroom, the mirror cabinets are equipped with LED lighting with warm daylight.

Vanity units in the IKEA style have not stood on legs for a long time - they float above the floor, as if in weightlessness, creating a feeling of freedom. Godmorgon wall-mounted models save space and make cleaning easier. Pull-out drawers will help to hide hygiene items and household chemicals. A narrow wooden countertop for the sink will look ergonomic, under which you can install a washing machine or a shelf for linen and towels.

A separate attraction of the bathroom interior will be the exquisite forged steel racks of the Rjonser model line. Elegant forging and glass shelves add airiness, and, as always, these models are very practical and versatile.

In other words, furniture from the IKEA collections is versatile. One item carries several purposes: a mirror plus a cabinet above the sink, a pencil case-partition between the bath and toilet areas in the combined bathroom, a chair with a back for drying towels, and so on. It is also worth noting that the furniture does not have sharp corners, therefore, its use is safe in confined spaces and slippery floors. The fittings are treated with a special impregnation to protect against moisture.

The IKEA-style bathroom is open to everything: instead of splash curtains, it is suggested to use a translucent or glass partition, and towels and bathroom accessories are stored on open shelves. Such structures do not obstruct the view and, due to their openness, do not constrict the space.

The modern inhabitant of the metropolis especially needs a rest. During the entire working week, spinning like squirrels in a wheel, it is very rare to be alone with yourself. Sometimes a modern person can only truly relax and unwind at home, or rather, in the bathroom. Therefore, IKEA-style bathrooms are characterized by calm, light colors: due to the white color, the interior creates a feeling of coziness, cleanliness, and tranquility. The walls and floor should not merge, so it is recommended to use contrasting colors: black and white classic, coffee with milk. The Scandinavian style does not accept complex small patterns, mosaic tiles, and numerous bright blotches. The walls are most often faced with tiles or decorative bricks, less often they are painted in light colors.

A lot of light is an essential attribute of an IKEA-style bathroom. In the photo in catalogs, almost everywhere there is a large window over the entire wall, but where to get it in modern small-sized apartments? The designers took this feature into account and released a wide range of items for bright artificial lighting: lamps, sconces, frame lighting for mirrors. Spot lighting will distribute the light evenly over the entire area of ​​the room, and the glossy surfaces of furniture and sanitary ware will reflect the light, visually increasing the space. It is also worth noting that all IKEA lamps run on LEDs, which means they will last as long as possible and with the lowest energy costs.

To create additional coziness and comfort in the IKEA catalogs you can find a variety of plush rugs for the bathroom and toilet, towels, napkins and bathrobes, made in the same style. The Geryen and Kruson series are represented by a wide selection of textiles for every taste and color, very pleasant to the touch and incredibly soft. As a rule, the decor is distinguished by bright colors, giving liveliness and freshness to the interior. At the same time, bright details do not overload the interior. IKEA offers many different small, but very useful items for decoration from the Stuhvyk or Grundtal series: hooks for towels or clothes, boxes for cosmetic accessories. The highlight will be stylistic sets for bathrooms: a dispenser for liquids, a cup for toothbrushes, a soap dish, an urn, a toilet brush.
