How to combine stone, wood and marble in the bathroom?
Bathroom projects where materials sculpt the character of the interior.
In defining the look of an environment, the choice of materials can never be casual. Just like colours, surfaces have the ability to arouse feelings and direct the perception of a space. You don’t need to touch them: because of their potential to generate visual effects that can be described as hot or cold, soft or hard, natural or artificial, textures, even if only ‘imitated’, are a determining factor in the mood of a room. All the more so when it comes to the bathroom, where coatings are the protagonists.
