Industrial style is a celebration of raw materials and objects. Though industrial decors have taken over our living spaces for some time, many people have now adopted the trend in the bathroom.

Industrial style is that “flea-market” look that brings a touch of French-style elegance to your bathroom. You can create a renovated&nbsp;atelier&nbsp;feel with a combination of elements and details…for a striking interior.

<h2>1. LET IN THE LIGHT</h2>

Using glass panels – often associated with lofts – is an excellent way to add brightness to your bathroom. Whether you use them as dividers, position them overhead like a skylight, or install one to replace a small window, this is a definite must. They add volume, depth and airiness to your interior. What better way to spend relaxing moments than with space like this?

2. PIPES FOR ALL TO SEE

Industrial style openly exposes what is usually hidden. Copper pipes and electrical ducts become decorative elements of their own, dressing up your walls! The bathroom below is a perfect example. Unfinished tapware paired with contemporary vessels make a definite design statement!

<img alt="washbasin-ciment-wood-copper-style-225x300.jpg" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9add1a01-09fd-4d09-ada0-433d450479e0" src="https://int-prod.jdm-jacobdelafon.fr/sites/default/files/public/inline-images/washbasin-ciment-wood-copper-style-225x300.jpg" />

3. SHOWER OR BATH?

A large, walk-in shower will look beautiful next to an industrial-style glass section (be bold and add a giant showerhead), while a floorstanding&nbsp;bath&nbsp;will have a great effect in an open-plan space!

<h2>4. ADD A CURIOSITY CABINET</h2>

Vials, smoked-glass bottles, tiny items and several plants will highlight the vintage&nbsp;atelier&nbsp;look!

<h2>5. WALLS AND FLOORS</h2>

Raw surfaces in fireclay, polished concrete or cement tiles fit the industrial trend.

<h2>6. HUNT DOWN THE RIGHT DESIGN PIECE</h2>

Track down an upholsterer table or a weathered, antique buffet and repurpose it into a storage unit under your vanity basin. These pieces all tell a story. Using them in this manner underscores the charm of the room. Also consider a wooden stool, a metal locker, a trolley cart, a painting, a vintage bathroom scale, or a porcelain knob attached to an antique door to hold towels.

<h2>7. MATERIALS TO LOOK FOR</h2>

There is nothing more stylish and trendier than stainless steel, copper, zinc, cast iron, and wood for that raw, retro feel.

<img alt="amp-light-black-industrial-metal-300x225.jpg " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e7f32fd6-19f5-4b57-a331-14a8c5cd55e1" src="https://int-prod.jdm-jacobdelafon.fr/sites/default/files/public/inline-images/lamp-light-black-industrial-metal-300x225.jpg" />

<h2>8. FOCUS ON LIGHTING</h2>

To showcase your space, select workshop lamps with contrasting wires, XXL suspended fixtures, hurricane lamps or a steel lamppost…and give your room charm and personality.

INDUSTRIAL STYLE FOR THE BATHROOM

Jacob Delafon has represented the French-style bathroom for 125 years. The band’s look is timeless rather than trendy; elegant but not pretentious; and chic with character. The secret? A unique style.

Men and women who travel the world say that Parisian hotels are like no other. Far from the standard luxury, bland, bling-bling establishments, these hotels have a style, an atmosphere – a &nbsp;je ne sais quoi&nbsp; – that you don’t find elsewhere. With Jacob Delafon,&nbsp; <a href="/blog/brand/paris-source-inspiration-classic-modernity">French-style&nbsp;luxury </a>extends into the bathroom.

<h2>NOT A STYLE TYPE, BUT STYLE</h2>

The&nbsp;<a href="/baths">bathroom</a>&nbsp;à la française&nbsp;is not a style type, but a question of style. &nbsp;It’s not about what fashion dictates; it’s a mixture of eras and design styles. There is no total look, or rules to follow. No frames on the walls? No rugs on the floor or flea market wood cabinet? A bathroom that resembles you will have novel touches. You establish your look with little details, and you enhance the room even more by keeping with the original style of the space – workshop, classic, modern or retro, etc.

<h2>NEW BATHROOM CODES</h2>

In a French-style bathroom, you forget that the main function is hygiene. Just decorate it like a typical room in the house…with an armchair, a bouquet of flowers, framed visuals, a flea market&nbsp;<a href="/furniture/mirrorsmirrored-cabinets">washbasin mirror</a>, or a bookshelf…When it includes pieces that add warmth, the bathroom is transformed into a living space and immediately becomes more sophisticated and elegant. Wood floors or floor tiles are also an excellent choice.

<h2>LUXURIOUS, NOT OSTENTATIOUS</h2>

When it comes to fashion or decorating,&nbsp;luxury<a href="https://jd-espagne-preprod.cirrus-cloud.net/carnet-elegance/lesprit-du-bain-la-salle-de-bains-alexis-mabille-x-jacob-delafon/">&nbsp;</a>does not have to be “showy.” Quality is what matters. Just like all truly fashionable people, beautiful bathrooms don’t just “dazzle”; they simply mix very chic items with basics. Consider the bathroom like the contents of one’s closet: you have simple pieces and some favorites. For the bathroom? A grand&nbsp;<a href="/baths/baths">bathtub</a><a href="https://jd-espagne-preprod.cirrus-cloud.net/fr/produits/bain-balneo/bain-balneo/baignoire-0/bain-douche-neo/CE6D000L">&nbsp;</a>– contemporary or freestanding retro style – a vintage cabinet turned into a&nbsp;washstation, or a sophisticated mixer. Once you find your perfect piece, all you need to do is accent it.

<h2>AN EXQUISITE PERFUME</h2>

That&nbsp;je ne sais quoi&nbsp; in a French-style bathroom also comes from pleasant, entrancing fragrances…a mixture of spices from a heady perfume, wood that creaks under your feet, and a bouquet of freshly-cut flowers. This assortment of appealing scents turns the bathroom into a living space.

FRENCH WOMEN AND THEIR BATHROOMS: AN AGE-OLD LOVE STORY

Inspiration

Optimizing space means making the best possible use of what you have, so your bathroom is comfortable, easy to live in and still stylish.

Your bathroom won’t be comfortable if you don’t have the right layout: you’ll bang into the furniture or the tub, or else items are out of reach and end up falling…Nevertheless, a small bathroom is not as complicated to arrange as a large one, simply because there will be just one place for every item. Having everything in its place is definitely added comfort!

<h2>FIXTURES AND FURNITURE IN THE RIGHT SIZE</h2>

<img alt="Corner WC in a blue bathroom" height="900" src="https://jd-espagne-preprod.cirrus-cloud.net/diary-of-elegance/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/corner-WC-blue-bathroom.jpeg" width="675" />

When space is at a premium, there are products perfectly adapted to small bathrooms, such as a corner WC, a reduced depth basin (Odéon Up by Jacob Delafon), a compact bath that is also a shower (Capsule by Jacob Delafon only measures 120 x 80 cm), or a shallow vanity unit (Jacob Delafon’s Rythmik cabinet is only 37 cm)…Don’t hesitate to consider these solutions instead of crowding the bathroom with large fixtures and furniture.

<h2>AN AIRY FEEL</h2>

<img alt="An italian shower in a big bedroom" height="900" src="https://jd-espagne-preprod.cirrus-cloud.net/diary-of-elegance/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Italian-shower-big-bedroom.jpeg" width="675" />

Airiness is key in a small bathroom. You can obtain this effect with a wall-hung washstation, a shower with extra-thin profiles or no profiles at all, or even asymmetrical fixtures. The idea is to open up the feel and create the impression of space.

<h2>ADDITIONAL STORAGE</h2>

<img alt="Additional storage in a small bathroom" height="675" src="https://jd-espagne-preprod.cirrus-cloud.net/diary-of-elegance/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/additionnal-storage-small-bathroom.jpeg" width="900" />

The washstation has become the must-have piece, but if you have a small bathroom, be sure to select a compact unit with reduced depth and height (maximum two drawers). If you need additional storage, add a coordinating unit, such as a mirrored cabinet, a tall or half-unit, shelves and/or open cabinets. For example, they can be installed above the bath or washstand, near the door.

<h2>TIPS!</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Whenever possible, install a sliding door. A standard door opening takes up at least 80 cm. Also make sure you can open the shower door or a furniture drawer easily.</li>
	<li>On the decorating side, try to avoid large patterns or overly-lavish materials. You should actually work to harmonize surfaces. Simplicity and cleanness are key.</li>
	<li>Despite what most people think, large tiles are not just for large rooms. The only problem for small bathrooms is that it involves more cutting.</li>
	<li>Recessed wall taps save space and reduce depth in the shower or at the washstand.</li>
</ul>

Optimizing bathroom space

<ul>
	<li>Accessibility: accessories first and foremost</li>
</ul>

It doesn’t take a lot, just common sense and well-chosen accessories, to make a bathroom safe so that everyone, regardless of their age and degree of mobility, can feel at ease.

<img alt="" height="200" src="https://jd-espagne-preprod.cirrus-cloud.net/diary-of-elegance/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/high_def_CAPSULE_ambiance_01_ENG-300x200.jpeg" width="300" />

Are you planning on remodelling all or part of your bathroom? Think safety! This long-neglected aspect of comfort is paramount and allows everyone – seniors, the injured or ill, pregnant women, etc. – to use the bathroom independently. Beyond disability, which requires specific technical adjustments, it is about making the bathroom easier to use for everyone, whatever their age.

An accessible and practical bathtub

Of course, when it comes to accessibility, a walk-in shower is ideal. But only the bathtub lets you really relax the muscles and also bathe the little ones. To make sure it is safe, it is important to firstly improve access. 
With a step, it is no longer necessary to step over the edge of the tub to get in or out. Similarly, a properly placed bath board facilitates access and lets you wash yourself sitting down, if you are unable to do so standing up or lying down. One or two well-positioned grab bars, especially for getting up, complete the range. 
If the bathtub is also used for the shower, it is important to choose a suitable model. It must have a larger area with a flat, non-slip bottom. It must be equipped with a flush plug even when it’s open, and a swivelling bath screen for easy access.

A non-slip shower

A shower which is flush with the floor and measures at least 120 cm x 80 cm is accessible to everyone. However, a specific non-slip coating on the tray is necessary: ceramic or reinforced acrylic (Flight type) or other suitable flooring. It is also important to equip it with handrails and a seat, which may be built in or not, 50 cm or 60 cm high. Other possibilities include a shower head which can easily be height-adjusted on the shower bar and tap handles that are easy to handle, even with soapy hands. An easy-to-use, high-quality door, whose opening mode suits the layout of the bathroom, is also required.

A water point for everyone

A step allows children to brush their teeth and access the taps independently. As some seniors enjoy being able to sit at the water point, a seat on wheels can be provided (which often also serves as storage) and the bottom of the basin can be replaced with storage – columns and other cabinets – on both sides.

Sitting

It is always nice to be able to sit once out of the bath or shower. A bench or a stable stool lets you do this. It is even more pleasant to use if installed.

<img alt="high_def_E61406_SEAT_packshot_01.ENG_-227x300.jpeg" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2896ac5a-8d31-4230-a0e0-5e7779be7c88" src="https://int-prod.jdm-jacobdelafon.fr/sites/default/files/public/inline-images/high_def_E61406_SEAT_packshot_01.ENG_-227x300.jpeg" />

Accessibility

A simple shower head can turn the shower into an area of ​​well-being and relaxation. Here are three solutions to fit it.

<img alt="Jacob-Delafon-Receveur-a-poser-Flight-Neus-acrylique-rectangle-140-x-80.jpg " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1dae6234-bae8-41ff-94cf-ff8d574358f3" src="https://int-prod.jdm-jacobdelafon.fr/sites/default/files/public/inline-images/Jacob-Delafon-Receveur-a-poser-Flight-Neus-acrylique-rectangle-140-x-80.jpg" />

It just takes a few seconds under a shower head to experience true relaxation, as if all tension and worries are washed away with the water. The broader and more enveloping the shower head, the greater the enjoyment.

I already have shower fittings

If you want to keep your shower installation because it is efficient, good quality and manufactured by a major brand (for the availability of spare parts), you can get a shower column without the fittings. Unlike a simple shower bar, this type of column is extended with a shower head and fitted with a short hose to be connected to the tap. A reverser (a lever) on the column can guide the water to the shower head or hand shower.

I also want to change my shower fittings

If you have a simple mixer or a mechanical mixer, choose a complete column, which incorporates not only a shower head and a hand shower, but also a thermostatic mixer. This will give you added comfort (the water temperature does not vary) and safety (no risk of burns due to the safety stop and maximum temperature lower than 50 °C) and allow you to save water and energy (the mixer instantly adjusts without waste, mixing hot and cold water to the desired temperature).

I have to redo my shower

<img alt="Ambient-Flight-Pure-glossy-6-1170x508.jpg" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="42f37b35-c70d-4b3f-8b85-c45f6ce65f8f" src="https://int-prod.jdm-jacobdelafon.fr/sites/default/files/public/inline-images/Ambient-Flight-Pure-glossy-6-1170x508.jpg" />

If you are revamping or putting in a shower, treat yourself to the very best: a built-in shower with a built-in thermostatic mixer and a shower head. Add three or four showers to the wall, well-positioned (at shoulder-height, hip-height etc.), which will increase well-being and relaxation. Although a built-in shower poses no particular technical problems to install, it is best to call a professional to do it. Feel free to discuss this issue with your plumber.

Choosing a shower column

• With or without thermostatic mixer, and if your flow allows it, choose a column with a large showerhead, checking that its water consumption is limited (integration of water in the air etc.). 
• Beware of low-cost columns: their durability is not guaranteed, especially that of the thermostatic mixer, but also that of the shower head (efficiency of the scale removal system, in particular). 
• Be aware that there are shower columns fitted with shower heads with magnetic speakers for listening to music or the radio in the shower and outside, thanks to smartphone Bluetooth connection.
