Relaxation Area Before Entry to Hamam

The East is a Delicate Matter

High humidity of the room requires special decorating materials. It is not enough to select a pattern and required color. All details and elements of décor must be tied into a single thread. But this is not enough as well. The size of the room, absence of windows required to be turned into advantage with using decorative and design techniques.

Light-colored decoration has been chosen for the small room. Unusual layout of tiles has been used to visually change the parameters. Pattern from the gable wall partially passes to the side walls, thus pulling out the walls. The small textured pattern has been selected as the main pattern. Floors are almost monochrome, and the walls are more vivid.

We would like to tell a little more about the décor of the ceiling. Small height required to be visually increased. For this purpose, mural painting has been chosen. And it is not simple, but with an interesting effect. Wide frieze with a floral ornament is complemented by stylistic elements, that create the arch-shaped effect. Chandelier with crystal pendants scatters bright flecks and thus enhances the effect of the dome.

But all this would not have been possible without finely selected color and tone of the ceiling. To tell frankly, the artists had not just to experiment, and to do magic with this in the full sense of the word. As a result, the ceiling, despite of the saturated color, is visually dissolving, which is evident even in the photo.
