A bathroom for every style

When it comes to choosing finishes, the bathroom requires the same care and attention as the living area, also for the flooring, which forms the base of every furnishing style.

When it comes to choosing finishes, the bathroom requires the same care and attention as the living area, also for the flooring, which forms the base of every furnishing style. The choice of the tiles to use is undoubtedly no easy task, especially given the huge variety the market has to offer, and there are many elements that must be taken into consideration to select the most suitable flooring and covering options for the bathroom area in our homes.

The everlasting allure of the rooms in your home

Casalgrande Padana cementine tiles are an excellent furnishing choice for those looking to create a style with a provençal, retro or vintage flavour, and are suitable for both floors – where they can offer a superb alternative to carpets – and walls. In neutral shades, shifting tones and with intertwining decorative effects, they bring a sophisticated slant to living spaces, filling them with character and a touch of tradition, able to tell original stories through the eternal charm of unique decorations.

Lovers of shabby chic style can choose from the warm, soft tones of beige and light brown of the Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware tiles, inspired by the natural beauty of the antiqued, aged wood planks of the Antiquewood, Classwood, Country Wood or Ulivo collections, or the porcelain stoneware strip tiles of Geowood, Newood and Tavolato, where the extra-fine texture offers a faithful reproduction of the rare, prestigious grain of the wood.

Industrial chic style

Typical elements of industrial style include cement-effect floors in subtle shades, or antiqued wood-effect strip tiles, preferably with minimal joints to ensure greater continuity. Casalgrande Padana offers a wide range of different tiling solutions for walls and floors, some contrasting and some complementary, in order to accommodate the tastes and requirements of a highly diverse customer base, such as the wood-effect porcelain stoneware tiles in the Class Wood collection, which can be used to keep the same flooring throughout the home, with no interruptions between one room and another, or the cement-effect porcelain stoneware tiles in the Resin collection, which play around with materials and textures.

The classic allure of marble

Casalgrande Padana’s porcelain stoneware is as precious, long-lasting, and beautiful as marble, which the ancient Greeks called “shining stone”. Now, Casalgrande Padana’s three new collections – Marmoker, Marmosmart and Onici – are giving a new twist to the timeless charm of these iridescent surfaces. Each tile feature multi-shaped in different colours, which create a unique marble effect that brightens any setting.

Outstanding technical features and the vast array of colours, sizes and surfaces marble-effect porcelain stoneware perfect not only for tiling floors and walls, but also for furnishing elements such as tops, wall units and shelves.

In recent years, porcelain stoneware flooring and coverings with geometric shapes have come right back into fashion, and the most widely used are hexagonal tiles. Thanks to their versatility, they are ideal as a decorative element to frame the whole shower area, or the wall with the washbasin or bathroom fittings.

Minimal style

Rigour, elegance, modernity: these are the hallmark features of minimalist style, featuring a small number of furnishing elements, squared lines, wall-hung bathroom fittings, neutral, uniform colours and cement-effect or stone-effect porcelain stoneware floorings and coverings, such as those in the Architecture, Basaltina and Beton collections by Casalgrande Padana.

Granite-effect porcelain stoneware

Venetian flooring – also known as terrazzo, mosaic or marble-grit flooring – boasts a long tradition. Composed of pebbles, stones and fragments of marble, it is one of the oldest types of flooring used in architecture: dating back to the Roman school of mosaics, it reached the peak of its splendour during the Renaissance in Venice.

Elegant, sophisticated and versatile, it is able to bring prestige to settings, which explains the current move back towards granite-effect flooring, in which the random repetition of irregular elements and continuous surfaces become an element of decoration that creates the effect of a natural carpet.

Pantone 2020: Classic Blue

Pantone’s colour of the year for 2020 is “Classic Blue”, an ultramarine, bold, vibrant shade of blue which works well in a bathroom, where blues are excellent alternatives to more traditional shades of sand, dove-grey and grey. However, this elegant, deep colour needs to be used wisely. Dark colours absorb a lot more light than lighter colours, so can make a space feel smaller. In order to avoid this, the best choice is to play around with textures, perhaps by opting for the resin-effect tiles from the R-Evolution collection or the sophisticated Earth by Pininfarina collection by Casalgrande Padana.

The porcelain stoneware tiles in the Earth collection represent the sum of the combined expertise of Casalgrande Padana and Pininfarina, both companies that play leading roles in the Italian industrial design sector. The result is a collection with an original design, where the distinctive feature is the sophisticated texture of the tiles, which generates a powerful multi-sensory effect. The surfaces seem warm and subtle to look at, but their innovative micro-3D structure is only truly appreciated when they are touched.

The system also includes the possibility to customise the tiles themselves with the Pininfarina logo on either the tile or the decoration, based on the specific needs of a particular project or client tastes.
