Gold color always looks spectacular in the interior. If you want to add a touch of elegant luxury to a nondescript bathroom decor, try adding gold accents. The interior of the French-style bathroom with gold elements is especially well combined. Whether provincial or formal, gold tones on window shades, walls, shower curtain, faucets and accessories will look appropriate and bring out the theme of the décor.
Walls
As a rule, the bathroom is one of the cramped spaces in the house, so many people think that it is better to simply paint the walls in a neutral color or tile the same color. But bright colors in small quantities will actually make the interior more voluminous.
Paint all the walls a light golden color, or make just one accent wall a rich gold color and the rest cream or yellowish white. Or, instead of paint, you can decorate the bathroom with wallpaper. Wallpaper is an inexpensive and convenient option. Look for wallpapers with French-style prints, such as intricate florals or even toiles de jouis, but always golden on cream, white, beige, or other light backgrounds.
Floor
In the bathroom, the flooring must be durable enough to withstand spilled water and high humidity. But we must not forget that the floor is also a decorative element, and with its help you can bring golden shades into the interior of a French-style bathroom.
For example, lay a durable tile made of natural granite with gold flecks. Or you can make a decorative concrete floor using the “terrazzo” technique with discreet golden sparkles. If you chose a wooden floor, paint a decorative medallion with French motifs, such as lilies, in gold paint. An inexpensive and easy-to-use option would be ceramic tiles, which also have a golden color.
shower curtain
In a French style bathroom, the shower curtain is one of the main decorative elements. You can make it the focal point of the interior and bring in bright metallic colors with it. Look for a fabric curtain with a gold-embroidered pattern.
The French style uses the layering of simple materials of contrasting texture and color for texture and visual interest. For example, make a two-layer shower curtain by combining golden lace with burlap or linen in white or blue. Or you can sew a patchwork curtain using alternating strips of the same materials with splashes of gold. And a baguette, rings and clothespins made of golden metal will continue the decor theme in the French style.
Decorative details and accessories
Hang photographs, paintings and other decorative items on the walls to complete the interior. Use gold frames or other details as gold accents. Soap dishes, toilet paper holders and even wastebaskets are also a good way to bring gold and French symbols into the decor.
Warning
No need to try to make all the furnishings gold. On the contrary, there should be only a few golden elements so that the French-style bathroom does not look flashy and tasteless.If you chose a gold accent wall, keep the curtains and floor in a different color, and just a few small accessories in gold too. If this color is present in small quantities on the floor, curtains with gold patches and a golden baguette are enough to emphasize the theme of the interior.
