Do you love things to be tidy, lined up and clearly structured? If so, then a puristic bathroom is just the thing for you.
What does purism mean? Actually, the term "purist” originates from the art world, and describes a movement that has been starting in 1918.
"Less is more" – The purist bathroom
Based on the maxim “less is more”, purists reject everything that is not absolutely essential. Austere and clear forms are the distinguishing feature. Also important is the interaction between proportion and materials, as well as space and light.
- Rectilinear and clear – puristic bathrooms make use of rectilinear forms, clear structures and tiles in XXL size. In the choice of colours white, black and various grey tones dominate.
- A successful combination of refined understatement and rectilinear extravagance makes the puristic bathroom a retreat of a special kind.
- Valuable materials – stainless steel, chrome and glass produce a refined appearance; daylight and artificial sources of light place them in a stylish setting.
- Limited colours – a maximum of three or four colour nuances.
- Large-scale thinking – plan to include open spaces.
- The ideal style for small bathrooms – establishes a room atmosphere which concentrates solely on itself, so it can make even the smallest bathroom appear expansive.
- Ground level shower areas.
- Matching bathroom taps and accessories.
Even a bathroom in puristic design can be a place to retreat to from daily routine. The clear lines of modern architecture are particularly effective at bringing out furnishings reduced to the essentials. A puristic style of living is not just for the bathroom, but can be extended to the whole home. By adhering strictly to a design, even a “cooler” style can be successfully turned into personalised place of relaxation.
