These are the advantages of the minimalist bathroom

Behind minimalism is the idea of reducing a form to its essentials, namely its function. So if you decide for minimalist living, you want to get by with little, but still enjoy full functionality. Frills or too much decoration have no place in such a bathroom, as they cause unrest.

By focusing on few pieces of furniture and a harmonious design, a minimalist bathroom appears particularly factual and calm. Thus, such a bathroom provides the perfect conditions for maximum relaxation.And relaxation is one of the most important goals in the bathroom. But that's not all. In addition, a minimalist bathroom can convince with the following advantages:

  • Easy to clean, as there are many free surfaces that can simply be wiped off
  • Always tidy look, as nothing is left lying around
  • Plenty of free space to perfectly showcase favorite pieces like the shower area or the bathtub
  • If you also pay attention to minimalism with cosmetics and care products, plastic can be reduced

How to set up your minimalist bathroom

No matter whether small or large bathroom - minimalism is suitable for every bathroom.Before you start setting up, you should consider what you can't do without in the bathroom. Everything else is either completely banished and stored out of sight in the wardrobe or elsewhere.

The right furniture for the minimalist bathroom

If you have influence over the arrangement of the toilet, sink, shower, and toilet, value symmetry. Cabinets, washbasins, and accessories should be mounted in pairs for a harmonious overall picture. A harmonious overall picture is also achieved when towel bars or hooks are mounted at the same height.

Furthermore, you should focus on one style direction and avoid a mix of styles. Minimalist living does not mean that all furniture must be completely straight-lined. If you prefer curves, circles or another shape instead, make sure that this design is reflected in as many bathroom furniture as possible.

Typical for the minimalist living style is a free floor. Towel holders, cabinets or toilet paper holders are mounted on the wall. The free floor makes the bathroom appear larger, which is why the minimalist living style is also perfect for small bathrooms.

Color and decor for the minimalist bathroom

Although you don't have to forego color in a minimalist bathroom, you should still choose a rather simple color tone. Pure white is one of the classics, as it is subtle and at the same time very fresh. However, other simple colors such as beige, gray, subtle blue or green are also suitable for such a bathroom.

The fewer contrasts you use, the larger your bathroom will appear. Of course, you don't have to completely forego a few accents. A bathroom towel rack made of black metal or a shower shelf in black can become a charismatic focal point in the minimalist bathroom.

For a personal touch, you can opt for less, selected decor.Green plants fit particularly well into such a bathroom, but baskets or a few textiles in simple colors also harmonize with the interior design style.

Which interior design styles particularly suit the minimalist bathroom?

You are welcome to combine the minimalist living trend with other interior design styles. Particularly suitable for this is the Industrial Style and the living trend Japandi. The Industrial Style focuses on a few materials such as black metal, wood, and glass. The shapes are straightforward and reduced to the essentials. In the bathroom, you can implement this living style, for example, with black towel holders for wall mounting and standing towel holders.Complement the furniture with some selected decorative items made of natural wood and green plants - and the bathroom in industrial style is perfect.

Japandi combines the exoticism of Japan with the naturalness of Scandinavia. Selected black accessories or bathroom furniture give the living style structure. Other features include natural materials, clear shapes, and subtle colors.
