Achieving a raw style bathroom

Tips

The natural has always been there, but now more than ever it's a trend in interior design and decoration, and we call it Raw style. And, what does this trend consist of? Raw means crude or unrefined in English and refers to the use of materials shown as they are, with their imperfections.

How do we achieve a raw atmosphere? With light colors, sober furniture, and a relaxing atmosphere; in short, understated decor where natural elements prevail.

It should not be confused with rustic style because something more is sought now. We live in a time when raw materials are increasingly scarce, so we are looking for solutions that bring us closer to nature and are sustainable, following an eco-sustainable and local philosophy.

This is how we see that raw products are presented without artificial barriers such as dyes, varnishes or glazes in textiles made of natural fibers, stone, wood, cement, or porcelain.

How to incorporate the raw trend into the bathroom?

Below you can see some sink models that are suitable for incorporation into a raw bathroom because they present the material in its most natural form.

Natural porcelain

Looking for designs that will turn your bathroom into a raw space without sacrificing the durability of porcelain? Porcelain in its most natural version is a great option. Several models from Bathco's general catalog offer their raw version, thus presenting the material in its most original state.

If you opt for this choice, you can consider installing some of the following models: New Cuenca, New Nordic, as Paula Morera did in House of Indians, Dinan in square or rectangular format, Toulouse or Carnac.

Cemlab

Pesquera and Nestares they are two models belonging to the Cement collection that can be found at the Bathco Catalog. Specifically, they are made of Cemlab, an evolved cement that is shaped in casting molds. This allows for geometric shapes and a high level of detail of the material itself.
