The 21st century has brought many changes to interior design. Nowadays, almost anything is allowed. You can choose styles from the 1930s, or even earlier, and combine them with modern trends or decide on one style and design your interior around it. The right proportions, well-chosen accessories and colours, and furnishings can create a unique atmosphere in any room. It's also noticeable that the preference in design today is minimalism and modernity, which helps our interiors remain fashionable for longer.
When designing a bathroom, you have a wide canvas to work on. The range of materials, colours, shapes, and inspirations is so vast that it can be dizzying. However, it's a place where too much grandeur can overwhelm. A bathroom should be an oasis of relaxation and private retreat. That's why it's important to design it not only according to your taste but also with moderation. So, is a hint of madness forbidden there?
Bathroom Fixtures and Ceramics
Everything in the bathroom should harmonise. Every element should be well-considered, including all bathroom fixtures. If we choose white fixtures, then every part, from the sink to the shower and bath, should be in this colour. The toilet flush should also match. And what about the sink and the rest of the fittings?
Typically, these elements are matched in colour. Generally, sinks, trays, and bowls are white, introducing a priori harmony into our bathroom. Recently, however, manufacturers offer increasingly modern solutions that not only maintain this harmony but also introduce a colourful deviation from normative habits in our bathrooms. What is that? These are colourful sinks.
Colourful Sinks and Modern Style
In fact, colourful ceramics work in any style. Since they are produced in a variety of colours, they can be integrated into various styles. Take Scandinavian style, for instance. Many may wonder how, since the main theme of this design is wood and light colours? But what if you chose a sink in black or green? Such a choice would not only complement wood and light colours beautifully but also serve as a stronger, eye-catching accent.
You can go a step further and, when designing your bathroom, opt for a whole series of colourful accessories such as sinks, bidets, or toilets. Doing so not only highlights the modernity and uniqueness of your bathroom but also offers a highly innovative solution that underscores the individual character of the household members.
Stylish Design with a Colourful Sink
Even if your preferences lean more towards older interior designs, including bathrooms, it doesn’t mean you have to forgo colourful sinks or other ceramic fittings. For example, in a palatial style bathroom, a gold sink would fit splendidly. Meanwhile, oriental themes embrace blues, greens, and reds. The choice is vast, so you can design your bathroom in any style and freely use colourful sinks.
Although colourful sinks are a novelty, they enjoy increasing popularity among customers. Their colours can be perfectly matched to almost any interior, thanks to the introduced variety of colours. As mentioned, whole series of colourful bathroom ceramics are intended for the more daring.
Tips
Colourful sinks are produced as countertop models for a simple reason—the colour should be visible. Apart from being colourful, there has been an effort to emphasise their uniqueness with very interesting shapes, which in some cases are downright fanciful. Cheerful, playful, and asymmetrical shapes, in addition to being colourful, create a warm and joyful atmosphere when there are children in the house. You can also play with combining sinks of different colours. In one bathroom, you can have two, e.g., black and red or green and yellow. Getting ready for work will be much more convenient, and the design will be unique.
However, remember to always carefully consider the purchase of colourful ceramics. This type of bathroom furnishing, if bought on impulse, can disrupt the entire decor. Before deciding to purchase, it's good to place something in that spot in a similar colour to the chosen sink and see if it works. It may turn out that another colour would fit better. A sink is also quite a large area of colour. In a small bathroom, it might just be too much. In such a case, it might be worth giving up other colourful ceramics or accessories to avoid overdoing it and just opt for a colourful sink, which will be a striking and lively accent, e.g., in a white bathroom. Inspiration from online arrangements can also be very helpful here.
