Total white

White is the color of well-being, and in fact we find that in northern Europe countries it is often used, and not only in the bathroom: its power to bring positivity into your life and to reflect light, just like snow does, is exploited in every room of the house. Those countries are very resourceful when it comes to finding ways to take advantage of all the light available, since at certain times of the year they have barely any sunlight at all. Even for those who don’t live in a Scandinavian country, there is no reason not to go for a total white bathroom. To get out of the trivial and cold stereotype of the all in white décor, remember that simplicity can be achieved also through uniqueness. Use the same tint for different materials, alternating lacquer and opaque styles, for a dynamic and elegant environment. A bathroom as white as snow, and as sophisticated as you deserve.

Some metallic details

You wonder why the metal? Because in homes and bathrooms of northern Europe inspiration we don’t find wooden accessories only: metal is also a recurrent component. Metal will be perfect for shelving units, solid enough to accommodate objects of daily necessities. You can also choose pieces of furniture that delicately feature both wood and metal: the contrast will be eye-catching, without stealing the scene. Another idea to add metal to your snow white bathroom, is to choose a design radiator: an indisputably useful element, that can become a stylish decoration.

Illuminate with minimal points of light

Light design, when it comes to the bathroom, is always an element to be chosen carefully, especially if the environment is as white as snow. In this case, to add dynamism to the environment, a good choice could be a minimalist design light. Spotlights work well too, but it never hurts to add another little touch of our taste in design, with delicacy and elegance. Our advice is to focus on lights with essential shapes, but made with a special material, such as a golden metal.

A touch of green

Northern European countries strongly believe in the importance of pursuing harmony with nature, in every aspect of life. That is why, according to this style of interior decoration, it is important that every room has a touch of green: some plants or flowers to awake our natural sensitivity at any hour of the day. And the bathroom, of course, is no exception.  Perfect with any style and in any space, flowers and plants can give a touch of color and vitality to your home décor. In particular, in a small and white environment, they can become the element that softens the rigor of the lines and restore harmony. Even those who do not have the gift of a green thumb, can choose cactus plants for they bathrooms: extremely low maintenance, but with a very high decorative potential.

Use natural wood elements

Wood is an extremely important element in every Nordic home, even in a bathroom all in white like the one we are decorating.  We want to see the raw look of wood, so make sure to include some elements that exalt its natural beauty, some wooden details that will make your snow white bathroom unforgettable, and add a warm and welcoming touch to it. A wonderful idea could be to have wooden flooring in the room: a light colored parquet is elegant, sophisticated and very Nordic.

Fancy a sauna?

And last but not least, Nordic bathrooms can absolutely not do without a sauna: an element that is becoming more common every day, even in regular homes. A sauna will help you relax, and will make you feel like you have your own private spa at home. In fact, it is no longer necessary to have a large space to use for a big sauna, like the ones that you have seen in hotels and resorts. The new generation of models can be easily installed and integrated into pre-existing bathrooms – even not very large ones – without being too invasive. The relaxing power of the color white will be amplified by this wellness treat: you won’t regret installing it.
