July 23, 2024

Imagine: you enter an oasis of peace, surrounded by light and natural elements. The serene atmosphere soothes your senses and offers an escape from the hectic pace of the day. This is the essence of a Scandinavian bathroom, where functionality and aesthetics come together seamlessly. Be inspired by the timeless elegance and minimalist beauty of the Scandinavian style. Whether you’re considering a complete bathroom renovation or are just looking for fresh ideas, here you’ll discover everything you need to create your own Scandinavian retreat. 

What is a Scandinavian bathroom?

A Scandinavian bathroom is characterised by simplicity, functionality and a touch of luxury. It’s all about creating a space that is both practical and soothing. Think of clean lines, natural materials and a light colour palette. These elements create a timeless and serene environment. 

Features of a Scandinavian bathroom 

  • Light and airy: use of large windows and light colours to make the room feel open and spacious. 
  • Natural materials: wood, stone and natural fibres bring warmth and texture. 
  • Minimalist design: little clutter, simple shapes and functional furniture. 
  • Functional elegance: every element has a purpose and contributes to the overall design

Inspiration for your Scandinavian bathroom 

If you’re looking for Scandinavian bathroom inspiration, there are countless ways to incorporate this style into your own bathroom. Here are some ideas to get you started: 

1. Use of neutral colours 

A typical feature of the Scandinavian style bathroom is the use of neutral colours such as white, grey and beige. These colours create a calm and serene atmosphere. Combine these shades with natural materials for a warm look. 

  • White walls: create a fresh and clean base. 
  • Gray tiles: add subtle texture and depth. 
  • Beige accents: create a warm feeling with beige tones.

2. Natural materials and textures 

In a Scandinavian bathroom, natural materials play a crucial role. Wood is a widely used material, especially in the form of furniture, flooring and accessories. Wood not only brings warmth, but also a feeling of peace and nature to the room. 

  • Wooden furniture: A wooden washbasin or a wooden shelf for your accessories. 
  • Natural stone: Use marble or limestone for countertops and shower walls. 
  • Bath textiles: Add cotton towels and linen curtains for extra texture and comfort.

3. Clean lines and simple design 

The strength of the Scandinavian bathroom lies in the simplicity of the design. Avoid unnecessary decorations and opt for clean lines and functional furniture. This not only provides a calm appearance, but also a practical and easy-to-maintain space. We give you some examples: 

  • Choose a minimalist wash basin without too much fuss, such as the JEE-O flow wash basin. 
  • Matt white furniture creates a serene atmosphere, giving the bathroom a soothing appearance. 
  • With a touchless tap you bring design, functionality and simplicity together perfectly. How simple do you want a design to be?
