Red strength
If the red is your favorite color, the question is solved. But even to those who are indifferent to the Red, may like the idea to make a bathroom in such tones. This is one of the brightest and conflicting colors in nature, which has an incredible force capable of creating and destroying. Let's see how the red color affects the human psyche, and how the interior is changing under his influence.
Impact of red on the psyche
It is known that the bathroom is one of the most private rooms in any accommodation, therefore the mood there should be created by the appropriate setting of the owners and the most intimate. It is not only not only about romance, how much about the organization of a comfortable space, in which it is cozy in solitude. Red color symbolizes activity, passion, energy and joy, so it should be used for the bathroom. Otherwise, you risk obtaining permanent emotional depression and stress instead of relaxation.
It is necessary to immediately mention that the shades of red are very much, and not all of them cause passion and tide of strength. Some calm down, "dilute" the situation, emphasize the overall mood, etc. We will talk later about the use of such shades and combining red with other colors later.
Red (we are talking about "pure" red) is a powerful stimulant of physical and mental processes, adjusts the activity and raises life tone. Therefore, the morning contrast shower in the Red Bathroom will be akin to the energy bomb that burst inside a person. But since we spend in the bathroom only a small part of the whole time, you can not be limited to the red one, but to "play" with its application so that in the morning he cheated, and in the evening it did not interfere with relax.
Important moment: abundance of red and relaxation are incompatible, so if you have insomnia, there is an easy excitability or emotional attacks (fear, aggression, etc.), refrain from using the red in the interior at all or give preference less "aggressive" its shades.
Impact of red on the interior
It is known that any color to some extent affects the visual perception of space. Red visually reduces it, but it does not mean at all that it is impossible to use it for compact bathrooms. This visual effect can be easily offset by all sorts of designer tricks and receptions. For example, if you limit the use of red items, and put only one wall with such a tile, painting in the red bath itself or binding a red sink, you can get a spectacular and stylish interior. Also, often red is used in combination with other colors, "neutralizing" its aggressive impact and softening its intensity.
For a small-sized red bathroom, an effective design tool is zoning - the color allows you to clearly distinguish the space, separating the bathroom from the washing area, toilet (if combined bathroom), etc. To visually increase the space, use a frameless large mirror of any form. If the bathroom is completely tiny, think about changing the bath on the shower cabin.
If you are the happy owner of a spacious bathroom, use and carefully plan the situation, considering not only color, but also practical solutions. For example, running on the surface of the pipe can be hidden behind the tile or plasterboard box, put the sink on the high podium from the red stone or initially buy a red porcelain sink. Successful and stylish solution - Red tiled wall behind the bathroom. It can be purely red, with splashes of other shades or thematic image.
Do not forget about the illumination - the correct lighting is able to create real wonders. One light bulb in the center of the ceiling is the last century. Today there are many options for lighting the bathroom: spotlights in the ceiling and floor, LED ribbons behind the mirror, the backlight of the shelves and baths, outdoor moisture-proof lamps, etc. The light can focus on the design of the red bathroom or, on the contrary, make it soft and neutral.
Useful advice: For the bathroom in red tones, multiple, but quite intense light, so as not to give glare, but covered all the necessary sections. It is clear that one ceiling lamp can not be held here.
A red bathroom requires the right lighting organization - artificial light should be scattered and fairly intensive. One ceiling chandelier will be clearly not enough.
So, the best of all is the red color looks in large rooms, but for example and in small-sized. If you live in a classic Khrushchev, refrain from use in the interior of a bright-scarlet or crimped color in the design of the walls. But if you paint the red border or perform individual inserts in such a tone, it will be quite appropriate.
But no matter what kind of bathroom, do not allow the monochromicity of the red interior! If the red color is dominated, it will automatically put on the psyche and irritate the eyes. Try to dilute the monochromicity of the red three shades of various saturation. The interior in which several shades and colors are arranged, looks much more interesting. The coloring of the finishes and objects in the bath can and should be different. For example, a white plumbing on the background of a red wall at the same time emphasizes the saturation of the finish and lowly shines clean white on a background.
Red Bathtub Style Choice
Red color can be used for any style in the interior, whether it is classic, vintage, modern, minimalism or high-tech. This is a universal color, but you should know how to "dose" in certain situations. The most suitable styles for design in red tones are: Japanese, minimalist, ecliptic and classic. Each of them creates a special mood, and the red color acts as a tool leading or background, to create this mood. So, in Japanese style, calm and peaceproofing prevails, high spirituality, moderation and clarity of images, therefore there can be too many red and small parts here (minimalism prevails).
The classic style bath can not automatically be small, because the interior elements applying for luxury and old days are appropriate. Accordingly, if you create such a design, refuse to use modern materials like plastic and silicone or stylize them according to style. In this case, the bronze-red tint is suitable or other "rich" variations in combination with gold and silver. To inspire, take a look at the trim of the palaces of the kings and emperors of the past.
For modernity, the zoning of space is characterized by color. Combinations at the same time you can do the most bizarre and extraordinary. As for the technique, give preference to the most compact and functional instruments with a mortar design. Modern is good because it is easy to implement with any square and at any budget.
However, the most favorite technique of modern designers is mixing various styles, that is, eclecticism. However, it should be careful - with imperative manual, the situation will not be stylish, but chaotic and tasteless.

Color combinations
The red color can be used in any style, but in order to spectacularly present it, it is necessary to follow some rules. First, for retro style, minimalism and high-tech it is better to choose glossy red coatings and items. The matte is suitable for more calm areas of design, such as Mediterranean, country or classics.
Secondly, learn how to harmoniously combine red with other shades and flowers to get the desired result and revive the atmosphere. Red looks good next to black, white, gray, brown and orange. If you use a small red tile or mosaic, try combining it with the elements of azure, green, silver (graphite), pearl, chocolate or brown color.
Red combined with yellow and green looks very fresh and stylish. If you want to use a red with blue, do it very carefully because the colors are contrasting each other and can give a negative effect. It is best to carry out similar experiments in a spacious room where it is quite difficult to overload the situation.
Methods for introducing red in the interior:
- Locally - partial use of red tiles, objects and furniture. Basically, thereby produce zoning space or focusing attention.
- Largely - if a red color dominates in the room, it must be diluted and partially neutralized (muted) with contrasting colors or less bright shades.

A similar interior is strongly affected by the psychophysical state of the person, at the same time relaxing and helping to concentrate on an important one.
