Inspirational bathroom designs: a wellness space turns into a work of art

Good design can have a positive influence on our way of life. It’s nothing about extravagance, it’s about the simplicity of something beautiful and functional that brings pleasure in the everyday life. Good design is inspirational.

Almost everything surrounds us is the result of someone’s creative vision. What moves you is as personal and unique as the millions of designs we encounter daily. A good design intends to create a personal and comfortable environment, customized to specific needs, desired aesthetic and architectural integrity. Good design is EVERYTHING.

Bathroom is the space in which begins and ends the day of every man, and therefore of particular importance. A wellness area, airy, sunny, full of color and architectural beauty ideal for body cleansing and spirit relaxation. The contact with the water, the most important natural element for the development of life, inevitably creates a sense of intimacy and psychological comfort.

Modern bathrooms create a simplistic and clean feeling. From bright and vivid to sophisticated and imposing, modern bathrooms have long gone beyond the limit of space. In decoration there are no rules and shouldn’t be, just personal taste and beautiful spaces that inspire their owners the feeling of wellness, comfort and tranquility. Countless combinations of patterns and colors create a unique style by transforming a simple space into a work of art, following two key words: harmony and balance.

Stunning, fresh, bright colored, smooth lined, fine detailed traditional bathrooms are the characteristic morphological feature of all projects of Oikos Architecture. All edges are rounded, thus creating the illusion that the actual dimension is lost and the whole scenery is characterized by plasticity and movement, like an organic form that flows through space and time, like a sculpture emerges through the mystical energy and eternal beauty of Santorini. The wide use of natural materials and concrete preformed into unique forms, creates a special effect perfectly assimilated by the natural environment that combines traditional island architecture with modern design, comfort, functionality, ergonomics and luxury.

Mix ’n Match in design

"Mix 'n match" is a synthesis of textures and trends, a combination of materials and different architectural styles, a journey through space and time. A harmonious, calm and balanced combination of elements that seem to be entirely different and mismatched at first sight, but combined appropriately create a distinctive outcome.

In decoration there are no rules and shouldn’t be, just beautiful spaces that inspire their owners the feeling of wellness, comfort and tranquility. The interior design of a space should reflect the owners' lifestyle, culture, taste and experiences, should reflect their own personality.

Mix and match is ideal for people with vibrant and intense personality, who don’t comport with plain and characterless spaces but instead have the willingness to experiment and change, combine influences and images from different decoration styles and create a unique and very special effect that reflects their own way of life.

Oikos Architecture works, characterized by the skillfully combination of conflicting and disparate elements into a unique and perfectly balanced outcome that strongly bears the designer’s signature. The traditional architecture combined with the principles of contemporary design, functionality and modern amenities. Cycladic airy architecture of Santorini, borrows elements from the traditional Mykonian design, meets the strong and load-bearing architecture of Mani, while the final effect is completed with a sense of Moroccan and Indian design, creating multidimensional and intercontinental spaces with distinct personality that suit perfectly with the vibrating ambience and mystical character of Santorini.
