About a year ago, Frederick’s bathroom looked like a true “grandma’s bathroom”: grays, beiges and browns featured prominently, from the tiles to the wooden fixtures. The bathroom then underwent a major renovation – and a dark, old-fashioned wet room became a modern, bright-feeling room.
It’s not the size that matters – it’s the effects!
“A big oasis of well-being in a small space” – This is how Friederike from the lifestyle blog Lebenslust describes her bathroom. Because although eight square meters is not necessarily large, Friedrich uses clever effects to create an optical dimension:
“The biggest change was of course the colors. Before, gray tiles, beige ceramics and brown wooden fixtures absorbed too much light. Now the high-gloss white furnishings reflect the daylight and the blue wall creates depth and gives the room a sense of size.Lifestyle expert says. Large format tiles provide extra support. As you can see, when small rooms I talk a lot about size when it comes to.
“After a year, I’m still happy every time I go to the bathroom. The difference from before couldn’t be more.”Friederike says.
Clear temper
Frederick’s favorite in the bathroom. “clearly” Your bathtub: “It’s long, wide and deep enough to really dive in and block out the outside world. The angular design creates clear lines and therefore a certain ‘cleanness’.”
The blogger and agency owner places a lot of importance on order and cleanliness:It was important to me that I had enough storage space. It annoys me when the whole bathroom is full of cosmetics. The large vanity unit has space for everything a woman needs for a comprehensive well-being. And a little more…”
The white vanity unit provides plenty of space.
Relaxing in the bathtub
Bathtub or shower cubicle? Frederick’s answer is clear: “The bathtub, I don’t have to think about it for long. Although it is ours. Rain shower shower Also really fantastic, for example after a workout for a quick refresher, but I ‘might’ be in the bathtub. To be honest, I usually relax in the shower until I’m completely wrinkly. For me, there is nothing more relaxing after a long, tiring day at work than getting into the tub and relaxing with an episode of my favorite series. After that, the stress went away.” The shower cubicle is placed right next to the bathtub and saves space.
Goodbye to everyday life: You will enjoy diving into such a beautiful tub.
Omme: This is how Frederic decorates her temple of well-being.
Friederike likes to use selected decor that highlights the good character of her bathroom and picks up the deep blue color of the wall.
The new bathroom is dominated by white and blue.
What is Frederick’s favorite decoration in his bathroom?
“I love my Buddha by the bathtub”she explains. “I can’t really say why. It fits in there perfectly and is the perfect candle holder.
A small Buddha, a bit of green… the exquisite decoration is a must for Friedrich.
It’s not just Buddha, who rests and meditates on the shelf above the bathtub, creating a pleasant environment in which Frederik can easily switch off.
“For me, it’s in the bathroom. the light the most important thing”she explains. But for me, the bathroom is also a living space. I spend a lot of time there by myself and the light has a huge effect on the mood. . A good mixture of candles and electric lights is best.”
Sometimes bright, sometimes dim: Dimmable LED spots on the ceiling provide just the right amount of light.
We would like to thank Frederik for these great insights into his beautiful, modern bathroom and wish him many more relaxing hours in it.
