Modern Bathroom: Terrazzo and Glossy Tile Contrast
We present a modern bathroom renovation project that boldly combines vibrant terrazzo-effect tile with elegant glossy tile. The goal was to create a functional, bright, and visually interesting space with thoughtful zones and ample storage solutions.
Key Features and Solutions:
- Contrasting Wall Finishes: Large-format tile with a terrazzo pattern (light base, multi-colored chips) is used to clad the floor, the tub area walls, and the wall with the built-in cabinet near the entrance. The accent wall behind the vanity is clad in light grey glossy tiles laid vertically.
- Niche Above Vanity: A practical built-in niche is located within the glossy accent wall above the vanity countertop, convenient for placing accessories.
- Furniture: A “floating” vanity unit with a wood finish (resembling oak) features two spacious drawers with flat fronts. The composition is completed by a white countertop with an integrated rectangular sink.
- Faucets and Shower: All plumbing fixtures – the modern faucet for the sink, the complete shower system (including an overhead shower, a hand shower on a bar, and a tub spout) – feature a consistent chrome finish.
- Mirror: A large mirror medicine cabinet with a thick frame is installed above the vanity.
- Lighting: Above the mirror is a modern 4-light wall fixture with cylindrical frosted glass shades on a chrome base. Recessed spotlights in the ceiling provide general illumination. A ceiling ventilation fan is present.
- Storage: Various storage options are provided: drawers under the sink, a tall white built-in cabinet near the entrance (with Shaker-style doors and chrome knobs), and the niche above the vanity.
- Tub/Shower: A standard white bathtub combined with a shower. A glass panel shower screen is installed on the tub.
Design and Style:
The interior combines the playfulness and dynamism of terrazzo with the sleekness and shine of the glossy tile on the accent wall. This contrast of textures and patterns creates a focal point in the vanity area. The warm tone of the wood vanity balances the coolness of the tile and chrome, adding coziness. White elements (cabinet, plumbing fixtures, door) freshen the space. The overall style is modern, functional, with vibrant accents.
Craftsmanship:
The project demonstrates quality tile installation across all surfaces, neat integration of the niche and the built-in cabinet flush with the wall, as well as thoughtful installation of all plumbing fixtures, furniture, and accessories.
Conclusion:
The result is a stylish, bright, and practical bathroom. The combination of popular materials like terrazzo and wood, along with functional storage solutions, creates a comfortable space for daily use with a distinct modern character.
