In the same color, choose mixers and towel dryers. These details will make the interior and create a desired atmosphere in the room.
• If you are not ready to change the bath and washstand – disguise the modern plumbing. Use the stylized cabinet under the sink. Protect a bath and overlay it with the help of the the same tile as the floor, or sew with the wood.
• Add textiles. Light fabrics, delicate floral pattern, delicate pastel colors, as well as bows, ribbons and rushes characterize Provence. If your bathroom has window – curtains should be just like that. If there is no window, textiles can be used as a separator in a shared bathroom or as a part of wall decoration. It looks original, when the washstand and mirror make window-like curtains.
