Wood in the bathroom: the perfect harmony between the natural and the functional

The trend towards the natural comes to the bathroom through materials like wood that provide warmth and character. The bathroom has become a space for relaxation and well-being, where contact with natural fittings, materials and finishes is essential to achieve a harmonious, comforting environment.

Genuine materials are playing an increasingly important role in bathroom design, wood being one of the finishes that best suits this new bathroom concept, based on the revitalising power of water and the harmony between each item in the room.

Wood is not only natural, but it is a material with its own timeless character and look, which is perfectly compatible with both contemporary bathroom style and more vintage designs, creating an authentic space with its own personality.

Our equipment adapts this noble material to the needs of bathroom spaces, creating furniture, equipment and accessories made of wood, specially treated to withstand the demands of a room with so much humidity.

How to incorporate wood in the bathroom

Wood in the bathroom can be used in a variety of ways to transform the space into a cosy and sophisticated retreat.

Colour combinations with wood that work

Choosing the right palette enhances the beauty of the wood. These combinations are ideal:

  • White and wood: A classic combination that never fails. White brings light and spaciousness, while wood introduces warmth.
  • Black and dark wood tones: Perfect for modern and industrial styles. Wood balances the sobriety of black with a touch of nature.
  • Greys and beige: Neutral tones complement the wood and reinforce a relaxing aesthetic, ideal for spa-style bathrooms.
  • Bright colours and light wood: A risky but effective way to add dynamism and personality.

Each combination can be further enhanced by the use of decorative accessories such as towels, plants or mirrors that enhance the nuances of the design.

How to achieve the wood effect

If you are looking for the aesthetics of wooden bathrooms without using the natural material, there are equally attractive and functional alternatives.

  • Wood effect porcelain tile: A resistant and versatile option. It perfectly reproduces the grain and textures of wood, making it ideal for wet areas such as the floor or shower.
  • Vinyl and laminates: These materials are inexpensive and easy to install. They offer a wide variety of finishes, from light woods to more intense tones.
  • Resin or composite panels: Designed to resist humidity, they are perfect for covering walls or furniture.
  • Accessories with wood finishes: From soap dishes to mirror frames, details can make all the difference without the need for a complete transformation.

Trendy bathroom furniture in wood tones

Bathroom furniture in wood tones is a sophisticated and functional option. These trends stand out:

  • Scandinavian style: Furniture with simple lines in light woods such as birch or pine. They bring lightness and freshness.
  • Aged or recycled wood: Ideal for rustic or vintage bathrooms. It combines textures and gives character to the space.
  • Dark tones and matt finishes: Perfect for contemporary bathrooms. They add depth and an air of luxury.
  • Combination of wood with other materials: The contrast with marble, metal or glass creates unique and eye-catching furniture.
