The bathroom is much more than just a functional room. It can become a true place of well-being, conducive to relaxation, especially when the good weather returns. With the arrival of spring, we often feel the need to freshness, light and lightness in every corner of the house. It's the perfect time to rethink your bathroom decor in a style that is soothing, elegant and timeless: the flamingo style.
Inspired by the Belgian art of living, the Flemish style is characterized by simple lines, of the natural materials, a soft palette and an always pleasant atmosphere warm, even in its simplicity. Here are all the keys to transforming your bathroom into a bright and refined cocoon, perfectly suited to the season.
In a bathroom, color directly influences the feeling of space and well-being. The Flemish style favors a neutral and bright palette, which captures the light and invites serenity.
Off-white, linen, ivory : for a pure and timeless base.
Sand beige, pearl gray, light taupe : perfect for creating depth with softness.
Sage green, sky blue or powder pink : in a light touch, to evoke nature and spring.
💡 Tip: If you don't want to repaint the entire room, introduce these shades through bathroom linens, decorative objects or wall accessories.
Light is a central element in any bathroom. It must be both functional and soothing, especially in a space inspired by the Flemish style. The idea is to promote natural light as much as possible, while adding indirect lighting sources for moments of relaxation.
Free the windows : avoid thick curtains, prefer a linen veil or a discreet blind.
Multiply the light sources : wall light on each side of the mirror, ceiling pendant, small decorative lamps if space allows.
Use warm light bulbs (2700 to 3000K) for a soft and enveloping atmosphere.
💡 Tip: Install a mirror with a weathered wood or aged metal frame to reflect light while adding a decorative touch to the wall.
The Flemish style is based on great attention to materials. In the bathroom, we avoid finishes that are too shiny or synthetic in favor of raw, matte or slightly patinated textures.
Light or whitewashed wood : for the vanity unit, a wall shelf or an occasional bench.
Stoneware, matte ceramic, natural stone : for basins, pots, trays or decorative objects.
Linen and textured cotton : for towels, curtains and bath mats.
Brushed metal or matte black : for handles, faucets or light fixtures.
💡 Tip: A natural wood board placed on the bathtub or a solid wood stool in a corner can instantly add character to your bathroom.
A bathroom in the Flemish spirit must exude simplicity and order. We avoid overloaded closed cabinets in favor of open and well-organized storage, with objects that are both useful and aesthetic.
Natural fiber baskets for dirty laundry or care products.
Glass jars for cotton pads, bath salts or beauty accessories.
Shelves made of wood or thin metal to display some pretty bottles or vases.
Small low furniture or open consoles to ventilate the space.
💡 Tip: Consider using decorative trays to group items on the vanity top. This avoids clutter and provides a pleasing visual structure.
Spring is the perfect time to bring in the nature in the house, even in the bathroom. The Flemish style enhances this relationship with plants with subtlety and delicacy.
Small green plant (pilea, fern, aloe vera) placed on the edge of the sink or a shelf.
Bouquet of fresh or dried flowers in a matte ceramic vase.
Eucalyptus branch in a single-flower vase for a simple and elegant effect.
💡 Tip: If your bathroom doesn't have a window, opt for plants that tolerate low light, or opt for dried flowers to maintain a natural touch without the maintenance.
Accessories in a Flemish bathroom should complement the atmosphere without overloading it. We favor the simple shapes, THE natural shades and the objects chosen for their utility as much as their aesthetics.
Stoneware soap dispenser or textured glass.
Ceramic toothbrush cup matching the sink.
Round or oval wall mirror, with a matte black wooden or metal frame.
Light wood napkin holder, elegant and discreet.
Bath mat in thick linen or terry cotton, in a soft shade.
💡 Tip: Stick to a consistent palette of two or three colors maximum to maintain the visual balance of the room.
In the Flemish style, attention to detail makes all the difference. It's not about accumulating things, but about choosing some well thought out elements which create a soft and welcoming atmosphere.
A scented candle with floral or woody notes, to enhance the feeling of well-being.
A matching bathroom linen, folded or rolled in a basket.
A small wooden chair or stool, which can also be used as a side table.
A framed botanical illustration on a white wall for a light graphic touch.
💡 Tip: Change your accessories with the seasons. In spring, opt for fresh colors, floral scents, and breathable materials.
Rethinking the bathroom in the flamingo spirit for spring is above all bring in light, lighten the atmosphere and enhance simplicity. Each element must contribute to a feeling of comfort, naturalness and balance, faithful to this elegant and warm style.
