    How to Create Marvellous, Minimal and Magnetic Bathroom Atmosphere

    Ambiance matters, if it is about having a marvellous bathroom atmosphere!

    Soaking in the sublime ambiance gives you a soothing experience, which is something that everyone desires. Designing a marvellous bathroom is a challenge, for which you may have to get onto the next level of encompassing and gathering resources and elements, beyond the basics. In other words, once you’re done with the sketching of the plans, devising the designs aspired, and accessed materials from websites and magazines, which constitute the stage of research and compilation.

    The second or the next level is about transcending, getting exclusive or designer components that will transform your bathroom ambiance beyond conventions. It also means extrapolating and amalgamating classy and stylish products that will behove an elegant environment with extreme grandeur. The overall manifestation and mood of the bathroom will dramatically change, after having integrated the elements.

    Let’s get started with the walls of the bathroom that actually constitutes as the main decorum in the space. Illuminating the walls can be the real triumph in radiating the ambience in multitude. Set the mood with a European or Italian style, with exclusive designer tiles for the walls, which is germane when it is about bathroom designs. Also, elegant and pretty looking wallpapers will have a mesmerising impact and can be deemed as a perfect option. The mood or the overall theme of the bathroom will determine the design, pattern or shade of the tiles or the wall papers. The silhouettes of the designs can have the pedestal of mood to emanate to captivate senses.

    Mild, supple and tender matt finishes or smooth gloss of the wall papers or tiles, quirky or effervescence of a mosaic, with intricate and delicately crafted designs and patterns to detail in the bathroom tiles are always blissful inclusions. They intimately exude an idyllic mood and delight in the ambience.

    Superseding the space with a typical European tang for the tiles will reflect the brilliance of making a choice and style statement. Befitting them will be the grace of the tiles for the bathroom, master bath or suites alike. More distinction can be gained by supplanting with latest vanities and furniture that are immensely functional, ringing out the old patterned bathroom furniture and storage alternatives that occupied the space, giving out unsightly look to the space as a whole. They can inhabit in the decor with accompaniments like sophisticated and chic side table pieces, or sconces of immaculate and classy patterns, resplendently illuminating recessed lights and ethnically gorgeous chandeliers. Savouring space, along with divine look of the bathroom with all the additional components, seemly serve with benign functionality and performance, unto comfort.

    Next would be the penchant of exploring ideas and creativity in integrating the perfect bath tub in the setting. Creative prowess comes in to play, sprucing up the bathroom with the quintessential essence, as they snuggle you with caressing warmth. Classy and eye-catching, yet a contemporary bath tub with a blend of traditional and modern look will be a tremendous idea. They seemly imbue the metaphorical assonance and effect in the realm.

    Your royalty and taste is reflected in the types of additional furniture you choose to achieve the marvellous glimpse and attitude in the space, with a stylish acrylic chair, and the tenor, with bright pattern and shades of curtains of high quality fabric.  Furthermore, this pleasant and euphoric disposition can complement a beautiful painting or picture and a large mirror. It also depends on the size of the bathroom and the wall you choose to put them on; ideally, place the mirror at a vantage location whereby it can magnify the space; it will also amplify the radiance of the lights or the chandelier, being right below the either, abating the possibility of the shadows falling and darkening the space.

    Smear it with a paradisiacal or scenic beauty, with an aquamarine impression, with the shade of the bath and the curtains you choose. The ambience will enliven, conjuring with a spell of splendour of pure waterfall, if discovered with the idea of having a stand-up shower, wall mounted or freestanding bath, backed by a multipurpose unit, practical wash basins or mixers, WCs and accessories. Fascinatingly, the translucence of the water glistens more with the attractive impression of the bath tubs or shower enclosure, or both together. This offers an apex opportunity to choose tubs to enable you to recline comfortably and replenish. Apparently, all of those make the bathroom space magnificent, allowing you to reinvent yourself and rejuvenate in the most exquisite, marvellous and captivating bathroom environment.

    A world suspended in time which wearing a special design and keep the contemporary lines, this world is very well captured by Sergio Gioberto and Marilena Noro. We can observe in their pictures a part of past mystery, which invite us to discover it.

    In images we can observe how well the mystery is revealed with design lines, which seems to lead us to think to the Egyptian pyramids. It’s a world of contrasts inside, and unleashes the opposite, it’s a perfect interaction between volume and inner emptiness in a world that seems suspended in time.

  • Lake Forest Park Renovation by FINNE Architects

    Lake Forest Park Renovation by FINNE Architects

    Designed by FINNE Architects and located at Lake Forest Park on a secluded, wooded site on north of Seattle, this wonderful 1950’s Northwest contemporary house was fully renovated to compose a modern and fresh environment for a relaxed lifestyle, but keeping in the same time the energy of the original one. Flooded with soft natural light through the extensive new windows and glazed roof monitors, the house seems like a glass pavilion exposed to the inspiring forest views.

    Like other great projects developed by FINNE Architects, this house renovation has pursued the idea of “crafted modernism” and sustainable design practices, which the design studio is dedicated to. Almost every space had been re-organized being enlarged and enriched with a modernist aesthetic featuring highly personal crafted materials and objects, but keeping in the same time the intimacy and the sense of a warm and welcoming house. It features custom fabrications like the cast-glass kitchen counter, steel wall panels, suspended steel mirror frames, laser-cut steel shade valences, custom steel lighting bars, hand-blown glass pendants and a number of beautiful custom furniture pieces.

    There were added new fir ceilings and a palette of new materials to create powerful juxtapositions of texture and color, allowing each material to benefit from adjacent contrasting surfaces. The existing terrazzo flooring has been re-finished with new areas of terrazzo added in a complementary color. The intense craftsmanship and detailing in this project was completed by the use of  many green materials such as resin panels, quartz counters, linoleum, low VOC paint, and sustainable wood products, the end result being a charming, green home that take full advantage of surrounding panoramas of Lake Forest Park.
