The bathroom in the Maximalist Bauhaus style is an example of the play of contrasts. The materials and accessories juxtaposed here create a cohesive arrangement. The marble mosaic gives the interior an elegance that will stand the test of time. A bathroom designed in this way will still be attractive many years from now.
The Bauhaus has inspired architects and designers for many years. The modernist aesthetic developed since the early 1920s is today synonymous with sophisticated style and timeless elegance. The founder of the Bauhaus school was Walter Gropius. The German architect sought to combine technology with art, creating functional objects and objects that had artistic qualities.
Somewhat in opposition to the Bauhaus school is maximalism. This style expresses itself in richness of form, decorativeness, likes unobvious juxtapositions and boldness in aesthetics. The interior should be expressive and original. How, then, can these two seemingly opposing worlds be combined? This bathroom in the Maximalist Bauhaus style proves that such a combination is possible. Indeed, it has an impressive effect.
If you want to create a bathroom in the Maximalist Bauhaus style, you need to use contrast. Maximum contrast, of course! This is why both the walls and floor are decorated with black and white mosaics. This is a nod to traditional solutions, and the fine marble used is a reference to classic elegance. However, variation and irregularity appear in the expressive pattern. The pattern of the tiles evokes associations with the graphic style of op-art. This intensifies the visual impression, which is characteristic of maximalism.
The breath of the space is added by the white walls left in place, on which lamps with sculptural forms have been hung. The interior is decorated with a freestanding bathtub and washbasin from the OMNIRES SHELL collection in the black lava finish, a deep matte black. The matt surface makes them reflect less light, giving them a tasteful character.
A typical Bauhaus motif is the chrome finish, evoking associations with design icons by Marcel Breuer or Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This motif appears in the minimalist faucets of the OMNIRES Y series. Additional modernist accents are metallic elements in the form of the washbasin cabinet, which is exposed against a mirrored wall, or the vertical installation of the wardrobe and doors. These are details, but in an interior they are of great importance.
The elegance of the bathroom is added by the curves of the walls and the elliptical shapes of the OMNIRES SHELL washbasin and bathtub, which directly refer to classic, modernist solutions. A daring solution is the milky glass in the shower area. It gives the interior a contemporary feel and makes it feel lighter. A white accent is also provided by the matt toilet bowl from the OTTAWA collection, while the chrome bidet system from the Y collection and MODERN PROJECT accessories complete the minimalist design.
The guiding principle of the Bauhaus is functionality. According to this school, form should derive from function, be sincere and serve not just to be admired, but to be used. This is why the raw materials, technology and ergonomics are as important as the appearance. The bathtub and washbasin from the OMNIRES SHELL collection was designed by the duo Pawlak & Stawarski. The designers used a composite material created from dolomite rock, which ensures the highest quality of finish, comfort of use and durability and resistance. Their shape was contoured to ensure comfort. This principle is evident in the rest of the design.
All faucets in the OMNIRES Y collection are made from high-quality brass. Their chrome plating is characterised by exceptional durability, scratch resistance and ease of cleaning. The faucets are equipped with ceramic heads, which provide them with a smooth and precise regulation of the water flow and aerators that aerate the water to make it soft and pleasant to the touch. Ceramic heads ensure that the water jet does not splash, is quiet and even. In addition, thanks to ECO WATER technology, water consumption can be reduced by up to half.
The bathroom in the Maximalist Bauhaus style takes its best cues from the classics of the world of interior architecture and design. In the contemporary version, the combination of minimalism and classic elegance is intriguing.
