Most people see grey as just a mixture of black and white. But in reality, artists actually blend their shades of grey using complementary colours. Mixing red and green or blue and orange makes vibrant greys with a depth that is just as attractive as it is warm.
Have you opted for this design? The following elements will play a key role here:
Concrete is a flexible material that can be shaped into anything you want: You can commission your architect to design a wash basin and bath tub to meet your exact requirements. Specialist manufacturers will then set about creating a piece from these blueprints. The design will have an immediate presence and convey a sense of clear objectivity and therefore serenity.
Leading manufacturers also sell modern sanitary facilities made of this building material. They weigh a lot and can sometimes be too much from a structural engineering perspective. So buying wash basins and bath tubs separately is also an option.
When it comes to furniture, you can either go for tone on tone or create a contrast. Exposed concrete comes in numerous shades of grey. From afar, it looks like one uniform colour. It’s only when you look more closely that you see the full dynamic effect. Brushed stainless steel complements the look perfectly as the brushing creates a uniform yet deep surface finish.
On the other hand, grey works well with all colours. So you can make a visual statement by having one or more pieces of furniture in your favourite colour. The surprise effect of radiant colours against a grey background requires bravery but can really breathe life into a space.
We associate ‘grey on grey’ with gloomy rainy days. But shades of grey can subtly captivate our imaginations. With grey as the dominant colour, you can express the suspense of storm clouds as much as you can the sedate atmosphere of nightfall.
The effect grey has depends on its context: Combined with red and dark colours, it can have a dramatic effect. Or you can bring the soft phases of a sunrise or sunset into your bathroom together with white, light greys and pastels. When paired with wood, it emphasises the connection with nature.
Modern bathroom taps and shower technology look striking on elegantly rustic surfaces. Natural, often irregular materials for walls and flooring direct attention to the linear and geometric design and emphasise the quality of the decorative items in the bathroom. Minimalist design featuring precision edges is combined with handcrafted surfaces and surfaces with deliberate signs of usage to create a fascinating overall look. The high-contrast design, which consists of a variety of textures in one, particularly appeals to individualists. Matching made easy: Product ranges for an all-in-one solution bring a sense of creative tranquillity to the bathroom. Taps and showers speak one common design language here, thus contributing to a coordinated overall look.
Concrete is a building material made of natural components. It consists mainly of sand and gravel. These elements determine the look, which can vary greatly depending on the composition.
A little bit of cement and water bind the stony matter into a mixture that can be moulded into any shape. For cement, limestone, clay and sometimes even silica sand is heated to 1,450 degrees Celsius to create the powder, which then reacts with water and sets.
Masterful design and craftsmanship turn it into a material that embodies timeless elegance and luxury. How? Attention is only drawn to the look once the surface is treated. Sanding or sandblasting can significantly change the material's look. Bush hammering can give the set concrete unique character. In this stonemasonry technique, special bush hammers can be used to make a matt surface finish with an eye-catching texture.
Concrete is fantastic because the long-lasting material can be used in so many ways. The robust building material protects against humidity and is heat- and sound-insulating. The pores on the surface are sanded and sealed for use in the bathroom to make the material dirt-repellent. Depending on how it is treated, it can also be made to look like natural marble.
Nevertheless, it is very heavy and is therefore only suitable for structurally robust properties. Using genuine concrete in old buildings can therefore pose problems. In this case, concrete-effect building materials such as ceramic tiles, mineral plasters and even wallpaper are suitable alternatives. Waxed concrete, a primer made of artificial resin, sand and cement, can also replace genuine concrete.
The Ancient Romans were some of the first to appreciate the benefits of concrete. They used a material called ‘opus caementicium’ for aqueducts, bridges and harbours. With the downfall of the Roman Empire, concrete faded into obscurity. But it experienced a renaissance that began in England in the 19th century. In 1824, two bricklayers fired cement on the Isle of Portland. Within a few decades, the ‘grey gold’ then conquered the world.
For some it’s just a building material. For others it’s a symbol of timeless elegance. Exposed concrete, also known as decorative concrete, is an under-appreciated design element in bathrooms. And it has been undergoing a renaissance for quite some time now. We are seeing a new side to the versatile construction material in a modern mixture of styles. And we love it: In the waxed concrete bathroom, for example, highly polished, smooth surfaces become a special kind of haptic experience. And yet exposed concrete in the bathroom can also be rough, colourful and textured.
The material is predestined to ensure clean lines and high hygiene standards in the bathroom. In new builds, exposed concrete can be cast however you want. Or you can apply decorative concrete to the existing bathroom surface or lay it as dry screed flooring to achieve your desired effect.
It is so popular because it is an immensely versatile material. With the right interior design and specialist surface treatment, it exudes a sense of luxury. It can be combined with all colours and materials, thus offering aesthetic indulgence for all tastes.
