Prestige and modern fashion
Not only in private houses, but also in apartments, the bathroom is increasingly designed in the style of a bathhouse. Its walls and ceiling are covered with clapboard, the mirrors are decorated with wooden frames, and wooden shelves are used to place bathing accessories.
The fashion for finishing a bathroom with wood is not only a tribute to tradition: this material does not create excess humidity in the room, it is pleasant to the touch and has a special smell. An additional advantage is the low thermal conductivity of wood, which ensures that the optimum temperature is maintained.
The cost of finishing a bathroom with wood is even lower than when using tiles. At the same time, the interior looks stylish and original, so the investment is completely justified. A variety of wood shades allows you to find exquisite solutions for rooms of any size. Light wood will visually expand small rooms, while dark wood will create a feeling of solidity and aristocracy.
