When designing a bathroom, we all look for a place of well-being where we feel good. Whether you have the space or not, it can be difficult to make a bathroom feel warm and inviting, and to make it a place where you want to spend some quality time taking care of yourself. In this article we will list the best practices to make a space and more precisely a bathroom cocooning. I doubt that anyone does not know the word cocooning, but in doubt the word cocooning represents a space where one feels good, which gives off good vibes and in general with colours and a warm atmosphere.
In this article, we will use solid surface as a base material to give a warm and cosy atmosphere to the bathroom. Indeed, solid surface is an indispensable asset since with its smooth and soft touch texture, it will strongly help to soften your space.
So let's start with the good tips for making a bathroom cosy with solid surface.

Adding colour and playing with light
It is important to make a place warm by not using only white, which does not bring any real character to the room. Choose warm colours such as beige or black. If you want to stand out from the crowd, don't hesitate to use patterns or colours that don't remain bright. A duck blue or a dark green can be perfect for a modern and cosy bathroom. Thanks to solid surface you can dress your floor or your walls with hundreds of available colours, the advantage? Solid surface is moisture resistant, does not slip when in contact with water, and is ideal for creating a floor with no joints, since the glue used in the panels is the same composition as the panels, making the gluing of two solid surface panels disappear.
Next, use light to highlight your warm colours. Do not install neon lights in a very white colour which would break up the dark and warm effect. Favour many points of light with light colours below 4000 Kelvin. Today you will find many solutions to bring light like a mirror with an integrated led, a design wall lamp or why not candles which will strongly help to bring life and the cosy side that we are looking for.

Warm materials
As mentioned before, the theme of this article is solid surface, this material allows you to give a unique and modern aspect while bringing a real warm side whether it is for your washbasin, your bathtub, your furniture or your floor.
Do not hesitate to add wood, this star material in the cocooning bathrooms will bring out the solid surface and enhance it. A wooden piece of furniture with a solid surface washbasin will be the perfect combination.
We also advise you to add metal such as brass for your light fittings or your taps, avoid the colour chrome which can be quite cold, a black tap will stand out much better.
Add storage and decoration
Nothing is colder than a large empty bathroom without furniture, shelves or decoration. Think of dressing the space without overloading it, this will give volume to the bathroom and underline its warm character. The decoration will sublimate the whole and give the last detail of the cocooning atmosphere, think of putting plants in decoration that will bring fresh air and a more alive atmosphere. For the choice of variety, it will be necessary to select plants adapted to the humidity and simple enough to maintain. What can also be taken into account for the decoration and link the practical with the aesthetic, an island bathtub. Many island baths are available in solid surface and will simply enhance and give the cosy look you so desire.

Giving space
Although the bathroom often rhymes with a small space where one feels comfortable, it is important to have space and to circulate correctly. Bumping into each other is not really the goal, so there are some comfort measures that need to be followed in order to feel comfortable in your bathroom. Let's start with the most important space in the middle of the room, which will allow you to change clothes or dry off after a shower. We advise you to keep 1m² free of clutter to be able to move around freely. Then a space that can be part of this square metre, 50cm of space in front of your washbasin, essential for washing your teeth or applying make-up in complete peace. Finally, for the exit of a shower or a bathtub, count 60cm.
For any idea of a cocooning project with solid surface, we are available and ready to help you make your relaxation space a reality.
