Visual Contrast

Scandi designs typically feature light and neutral colors. You will find same-colored walls, fixtures, cabinets, and flooring. This gives a fresh and clean look.

But, recently, many people are exploring a bold version of Scandinavian decor. These bathrooms create visual contrast by using dark colors in less important features. For example, everything will be white, but the bathroom fixtures will be black.

If you don’t like the idea of bold colors, you can create a subtle visual contrast with pastel shades. You can install beige tiles on one wall, hang a peach tapestry, or add pastel colors in another subtle way.

Wood

Light-colored wood is the highlight of the Scandinavian style indoors. You can incorporate it in your bathroom in different ways, like:

 

  •     Wooden vanity cabinets
  •     Wooden light fixtures
  •     Wooden flooring

If installing actual wood seems like an expensive project, you can opt for wood-like panels or tiles. You can also purchase realistic wood grain vinyl sheets and cover your cabinets with them.

Greenery

Plants don’t only add a pop of color to the dull indoors, but they also give a fresh and energizing vibe to the place. A simple way to make your bathroom appear Scandinavian-style space is to add a few plants here and there.

Of course, there is no need to get a huge tree or real plant. You can get small artificial pots and place them on the counter, shelve, or in the corner. You can also get floral hanging decor and position it beautifully around the bathroom.

Texture

Texture gives visual weight to an indoor space. It adds to the feel and creates a particular vibe, depending on what items you have used.

For example, if you use rough textures like rugs, the overall feel will be rustic and intimate. But, if you use smooth textures, you will get a contemporary vibe.

Since Scandinavian design is about clean and modern looks, it’s best to incorporate smooth textures in your bathroom. You can do this with textured tiles, woven baskets, wooden stools, metal tapware, etc.

Minimalism

The concept behind Scandinavian is moderation and balance. So, it’s very important that your bathroom doesn’t have anything that looks too much or too less.

Choose minimalistic vanity, storage cabinets, and accessories. Keep the countertops clear, and remove the shower curtains. Install pendant lights to increase brightness in the bathroom. If possible, make ways for natural light to enter the space (small windows or skylights).
