ByMyProperty Life

Love color? So do we; and life just feels that much better and far more vibrant when you add a bit of color to things. Of course, that does not mean every room in your home needs to be a color-filled eclectic masterpiece that is eye-catching! In modern homes, bathrooms are increasingly moving towards a neutral color palette that is inspired by spa-styled luxury. This of course means there is a whole lot of white in there. In fact, there are many occasions when the monochromatic white bathroom seems to be more popular every season, each year rather than those that are filled with bright colors. But what about colors you can pair with white in the modern bathroom?

This might seem like a combination that is on the paler side of thing, but you will be surprised at the sheer magnetism of a room filled in white and gray. Since you are already using white extensively in the bathroom, combing it with a darker, warmer shade of gray is the best option. You can even try out shades of beige and gray combine like Greige for a bathroom that is different and dashing. This color combination looks good in modern, contemporary, minimal and farmhouse style bathroom. At times, it can work even in rustic and coastal style spaces. But gray and white is a color duo that is distinctly urbane.

Explore the Many Shades of Blue

We know how many might feel that a blue and white bathroom is all too common. But there is a good reason why the classics are dubbed so – they work every single time and are easy to embrace. The blue and white bathroom feels fresh, relaxing and you can explore the many millions of blues and those even mixed with greens for a bathroom that is just energizing. It goes unsaid that beach and coastal styles come naturally to these spaces. But the versatility of blue and neutrality of white ensure that this color blend is incredibly adaptable cutting across styles.

Usher in a Different Texture

As we alluded to earlier, we are going to move just a bit off of the beaten path today and give you a way to add color to the white bathroom without actually doing so. Brick walls, concrete ceilings and wooden accent features and vanities are all a trendy way to usher in that something different without actually relying on jut color. They still bring a different color to the bathroom and do so along with visual and textural contrast. From the grays of concrete to the warm yellows of wood and the orangey-red of exposed brick walls, there is no shortage of intrigue and uniqueness in here.

  • Villa Kivi

    VILLA KIVI Villa Kivi is a new generation log home on a tiny island in Finnish archipelago designed for himself by Finnish designer Vertti Kivi. Polar Life Haus, a Finnish wooden house manufacturer, was quick to pick it up for their collection. ‘The whole development process of the house was guided by our goal to bring the interior of the house together with the spectacular surroundings. We wanted to be part of sunset, snowstorm and even autumn storm on his tiny island in Finnish archipelago’, tells designer Vertti Kivi, the head of dSign Vertti Kivi & Co. ‘The starting point was a clear glass cube but we ended up creating glass walls reaching from the floor level up to the ceiling only to three sides of the structure. The north side with its separate sleeping rooms and bathroom is constructed of massive black wood beams that are in clear contrast to the glass and create feeling of cosyness and safety. Large terraces in one level create a sense of continuity between inside and outside. The floor plan is defined by Scandinavian clearness. The heart of the villa is the kitchen, located next to the entrance, and from there you can see the entire open interior and the surrounding sea. We like to think the kitchen island is like a DJ’s desk – the atmosphere of the whole interior space is created right there with the remote controlled lighting system. To guarantee the privacy of the bedrooms, they are located in the outermost corners of the villa, separate from each other. They too have one wall completely made of glass. An extra attention is paid on the details of the villa. Not a single molding can be found in the entire building. The doors have a hidden frame and they too reach from the floor to the ceiling. Drama and strong feeling are created by massive wooden surfaces and their color choices – snow white lacquer on the floor creates a contrast to the dark walls. To make the battened external walls coal black, we developed a special technique based on hundreds of years old Japanese traditions. In the evening, the atmosphere changes with different lighting schemes that can be timed to be in sync with nature. The end result is a clean-lined building in Scandinavian style which can be adapted to different needs and locations. It has a strong Finnish presence.
