After a hectic day, what could be more relaxing than taking a long shower? That is, unless you have an outdated bathroom, and every time you enter, all you can think of is the dirty grout, peeling paint, and the dated bathroom hardware. In which case, a decor overhaul is a must! So, if you are tired of walking into your worn-out bathroom, and wish to change it, then we have got some cool modern bathroom decor ideas for you.
What makes a bathroom modern?
The idea of a modern may vary from person to person. But, generally speaking, a modern bathroom features minimalist style, sleek and simple fixtures, and strikes a balance between clean lines and stylish accents. Browse through these ideas and see if they strike a chord with you!
1. Think All White
For a modern bathroom with a refined style, select materials and fixtures that are big on shape instead of color. Every one of these modern accessories, including the sink, vanity, and the lavish glass door, can be used to make a statement, in pristine white.
2. Achieve Balance with Symmetrical Decor
For a modern bathroom, finish the space with an eye on symmetry, which in turn will provide a calming environment. The bathroom above uses numerous materials, including glass tiles and wood, looking modern, thanks to the built-in shelves on either side of the bathtub.
3. Don’t Shy Away from Using Bold Accessories
For an impeccably modern bathroom, keep the hardware and fixtures minimalistic. But that doesn’t mean the bathroom needs to be devoid of personality. For instance, in the above picture, a modern pendant light placed right above the bathtub provides the much-needed personality to the space.
4. Create a Statement with Geometry
Don’t like ornamentation? Then skip it! A punch of brilliant red in the bathroom keeps this area from feeling dull. The red glass tiles invigorate the otherwise neutral surroundings while maintaining the clean geometric lines of the space.
5. Think of Unconventional Materials
The idea of using stone divider in the washroom has been around for quite some time. However, the past few years have seen homeowners move from a natural and rustic stone walls to much more stylish and minimalistic stone walls that ooze a sense of magnificence. Just remember to keep the decor simple for you to be able to rest the eyes on. For instance, in the above picture, the homeowner has used a floor-to-ceiling pebble wall in the bathroom to create a spa-like environment, keeping the rest of the décor to a minimum.
6. Go Graphic
Using neutral colors like black, gray, and white strategically, can create a dynamic room design. Here, the gray countertop and the striking glass tile backsplash with various shades of gray and black help lend character to the vanity area while adding visual interest.
7. Think of Comfort
Don’t forget to add a few touches of comfort to your bathroom. Think of a lush cushioned bench, a lavish rug, and curtains to add some elements of comfort to the bathroom.
8. Get Creative
At times thinking out of the box is all you need, to make your space one-of-a-kind. This powder blue bathroom looks more modern, thanks to the subway tiles that are installed vertically as opposed to the usual horizontal pattern. The unmistakable chic look helps draw the eye upwards, making the bathroom appear bigger.
Happy decorating, folks!
