Een badkamer in Scandinavische stijl

A Scandinavian style bathroom

A Scandinavian bathroom is a must for anyone who likes comfort and a natural, soft and light atmosphere. By choosing some typical bathroom accessories and sanitary ware in this style and investing in natural materials, you can travel in your own bathroom without ever really having to leave the house. But how do you transform your current bathroom into an oasis that exudes calm and tranquility? We already explain a few products and accessories that make it clear how this living style differs from other interior styles.

What is the Scandinavian style?

The Scandinavian style is characterized by minimalism, natural elements, comfort and balance. Striking designs and bright accents absolutely do not belong there. Everything looks sleek and practical and sustainable designs are often the hobbyhorses. In general, we note that this living style is characterized by the following elements: light, softness in colors and natural elements.

Light in your bathroom

Light plays a leading role in the Scandinavian style. A bathroom with lots of natural daylight is therefore ideal. Not only does a lot of light create a feeling of space and breathing space, so much natural daylight is also good for your health. Therefore limit your window decoration and opt for curtains or blinds that keep prying eyes out but let the sun in.

Softness at home

Since light plays the leading role in a Scandinavian interior, we also notice that colors are chosen to enhance the feeling of space and that lightness. Especially white, but also soft pastel shades and gray tones are very appropriate within this interior style. After all, they optimally reflect natural daylight and give your bathroom a certain freshness and tidiness.

Nature and sustainability

When you think of the Scandinavian style, you think of wood. Not only beams or wood on the walls, but also wood-look tiles in your bathroom provide that characteristic Scandinavian look and feel in no time. Or opt for a wooden washbasin furniture , made from sustainable wood and some wooden accessories and fresh green plants. Your bathroom has never looked cozier and fresher.

A Scandinavian bath and shower

When you opt for a bathroom in this style, it is best that comfort is of paramount importance. After all, no bathroom interior is as characterized by luxury and comfort as the sober-looking Scandinavian style. A freestanding, white bath is so indispensable. Choose a geometric shape or a rectangular design for a sleek look or bring even more softness to your interior by choosing an oval or round shape.

Do you prefer a shower? Then a shower with UV light is ideal for this interior style. Choose a shower cubicle with a white finish or wood-look plating. The infrared light then in turn strengthens your body and ensures more vitamin D production and fewer ailments during the winter.

Spice things up with Scandinavian accessories

Even though the Scandinavian style is characterized by sobriety and minimalism, accessories complete the overall picture. Be frugal, however, and limit the amount of stuff you display to stay true to the signature clean look.

Choose minimalist, wooden, sleek designs when you integrate decoration into your bathroom with this style. Just think of rattan accessories - a tray for toothbrushes or for your jewelry -, a wooden stool or wicker (laundry) baskets to dot the proverbial "i". Add some plants to give everything an extra fresh touch.
