VANITIES, TUBS AND BASINS

This dual basin vanity is a great example of curvy looks and soft edges. In many designers opinions vanities and bathtubs should have different but complimentary designs. Also, the color of the vanity should be in darker overtones in comparison with the rest of the bathroom design, but not too darker.

Your tub and basin sink on the other hand should have a similar design and the absolute best way to do that is with a free standing tub. It’s the best choice as it already has its classic curvy contour. Remember, if you want to accentuate the curviness, avoid joining the tub and the wall. As far as the basin is concerned, opt for a simple loopy one in the same color as the tub.
TILES

The search for the ultimate curvy tiles is never easy. Homeowners should be careful not to end up with a bathroom that has an overwhelming design. What is recommended is to tile the walls opposite of each other, or even only one wall, with curvy and fluid tiles. The remaining walls should be “neutral”, meaning; they should have a simple design and a neutral color so that your new wall can stand out. The best choice for tile design should include waterscape details.
If you prefer more contemporary approach to curvy tiles, Ilan Garibi came up with design tiles that are inspired by origami patterns. These tiles offer oriental contours along with curvy and elegant shapes.
TAPWARE

When it comes to tapware, the simplicity is the answer. You may want to look for smooth curves that create a stylish but subtle tone. Whether you are searching for a spout or a tap for basin, it is always good to research for bathroom tapware online so you can consider all the options and choose the most suitable one for your new bathroom. A clean design helps keep the attention on the overall image of the bathroom.
These simple designs include, but are not limited to, taps that give the impression of water flowing into the basin or your tub. As far as the material is concerned, there are no limitations. Classic materials such as brass and chrome are the most common, but other materials are available too, such as brushed nickel, or something of a matte white or black finish.
