Everyone in your home has different needs in the bathroom, so it’s always a tall order to keep It clean, hygienic, clutter free and relaxing. Whether you’re redesigning the bathroom, adding more storage, or making a tiny powder room more functional, less is always more when it comes to designing the bathroom. A modern bathroom is not only a place to get ready for the day, but also a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you’re planning a complete bathroom remodel or just looking to update your space, there are plenty of modern bathroom ideas to inspire you.
Minimalist Design: One of the hallmarks of modern bathroom design is minimalism. Minimalism is still a popular trend and it’s expected to continue in the coming years. A minimalist bathroom design emphasises simplicity and functionality. Clean lines, simple shapes, and a neutral color palette are all key elements of this style. Consider using natural materials like wood, stone, and concrete to add warmth and texture to your space.
Smart Bathroom Technology: With the rise of smart homes and IoT (Internet of Things) devices, it’s no surprise that smart bathroom technology is becoming more popular. Smart mirrors, touchless faucets, bluetooth speakers and voice-activated showers are just a few examples of the latest tech trends in bathrooms. Don’t forget about heated floors.
Natural Materials: Opt for natural materials like wood, stone, and concrete in their bathroom designs. These materials give the bathroom a warm, organic feel and can be used to create a spa-like atmosphere.
Bold Colors: While neutral colors are still popular, many designers are incorporating bold colors into their bathroom designs. Navy blue, emerald green, and deep red are just a few examples of bold colors that can add a touch of drama to a bathroom. You can also consider using bold, bright hues in your accessories, like towels, rugs, and shower curtains, or add color with a statement wall or a colorful backsplash.
Freestanding Tubs: Freestanding tubs have been a popular trend for a few years now, and they show no signs of slowing down. These tubs come in a variety of shapes and styles and can be a focal point in the bathroom.
Handle-free drawers and floating custom cabinets: This is a no-brainer for modern bathrooms if you are remodelling your bathroom. You have the storage you need, and it’s the most convenient way to keep clutter-free.
Flexible storage with a bar cart: Some days you just need more in your bathroom, so when it’s one of those times, wheel in a bar cart. This can be made of metallics which will make your bathroom look more luxurious, or made of natural materials such as bamboo. This is so hassle free because you can remove it from the bathroom any time. Use it to freshen up your guest room with towels on one tier, and bathroom essentials on another.
Install a shower cubby: Keep your shower area organized and clean with this clutter-free method.
When you don’t have enough storage space in your bathroom as is and don’t foresee a remodel, it’s time to get creative. Some budget-friendly concepts include:
Tile stickers: If replacing floor tiles is not ideal, then the next best thing are adhesive tile stickers which will easily cover tired, old ceramic tiles and lift the appeal of your bathroom.
Oversized mirror with back-lighting: This is a relatively inexpensive item which will dramatically transform your bathroom and create a relaxing environment.
Extra storage with overlay cabinet: For small bathrooms, sometimes just that extra bit of storage is important. Think about bathroom wall cabinets, over-the-toilet storage units, open bathroom shelves etc. For larger bathrooms, a tall vertical linen cabinet will go a long way.
Focus on Functionality: A modern bathroom should be both beautiful and functional. Consider adding storage solutions like floating shelves or built-in cabinets to keep your space organized. You can also add features like a rain showerhead or a heated towel rack to make your bathroom feel like a spa.
Bathroom lighting fixtures: One of the easiest ways of changing the look of your bathroom is to change your bathroom light fixtures. If you are renovating the bathroom, don’t forget to consider different types of lights and placements such as the washroom mirror light, washbasin under counter light, ambient lights, motion sensor lights if you are living together with elderly folks.
Fabric skirt for the sink: If you don’t have built-in cabinets under your bathroom sink, you can instantly transform it into a hidden storage space with an inexpensive pleated fabric skirt around the sink. It’s a good way to hide all your beauty products and plastic storage containers. This can be a DIY weekend project – measure and buy enough fabric, sew it yourself or bring it to a tailor.
Pretty baskets: If you really need extra storage, and there’s no space to hide it anywhere, opt for natural handwoven baskets that will look pretty and neat with anything in it. You’ll get decor and easy access without looking sloppy or disorganised.
Lean a ladder: This is one of our favourite hacks because it looks good and it’s so simple. Great for hanging towels, clothes, and softens up the bathroom decor especially if it’s a dark color scheme.
