The design of the bath room, made in this style, implies the presence of:
- Wooden furniture. As a rule, objects of light colors are used. Furniture should be aged or varnished. The country style is characterized by objects decorated with light carvings and polishing. As a result, they look more elegant than the furniture used in the Russian style.

Japanese bath
If you want to design your building in this style, then initially familiarize yourself with some of the subtleties. There is absolutely no steam room in the Japanese bath. Do not be surprised. It is replaced by furako - a barrel containing hot water, and ofuro - a rectangular container with flavored hot (60 degrees) sawdust or pebbles.
If you are not determined to give up the steam room, then only the rest room in the bathhouse can be decorated in Japanese style.
Design is perfectly emphasized by such elements:
- tatami;
- Japanese fan decorating the wall;
- bamboo screens;
- a low table with pillows scattered around it;
- Sakura branch painted on the wall.
Modern classics
In this direction, a large, spacious bath is being formed. The design inside suggests the presence of such classic elements:
- multilevel ceilings;
- columns acting as a space separator;
- arches;
- stucco.
However, you should not turn the dressing room into a real antique hall. To give the room a classic direction,it is enough to make doorways in the form of an arch, decorate the ceiling cornices with polyurethane moldings, and lay the floor with matte tiles.
Furniture with straight, strict lines will effectively emphasize the direction.
Modern style
This direction is rarely used to design a bath. After all, modern is the complete opposite of the Russian style. Therefore, your interior will be far from the design of a traditional bath. But this is where the highlight of the style is hidden.
Modern is a modern interior, suggesting:
- retreat from direct, strict forms in favor of abstract ones;
- floral ornaments and large flower designs;
- originally curved lines of decorative elements;
- bright, rich colors.
If you are ready to experiment and you are not limited by finances, then you can safely choose this direction for decorating a bath. As a result, you will get an unusual, very bright room in which it will be pleasant to relax and spend time with friends.
How should the rest room be decorated (it is desirable that the whole bath is kept in the same style)?
The design of the room depends only on your imagination. The Art Nouveau style does not impose strict restrictions on the selection of finishes or colors. So you can embody all your design impulses and combine the latest technology and modern trends.
Shiny chrome, leather, glass are appropriate for modern. However, be aware thatordinary log walls can spoil the appearance.
