12 Aug 5 Tips for Designing a Modern Bathroom – Bathrooms Gateshead
Designing your bathroom can be a challenging feat, especially if you are working with limited space. Whether you have a big or small budget, the possibilities in every room are seemingly endless.
The team at ACAS Bathrooms has put together a list of modern bathroom design tips to assist you in updating your bathroom décor, regardless of the size of your space or budget.
Check out these five simple yet effective design choices that can elevate your bathroom ambience.
1. Maintain Simplicity
Simple and uncluttered spaces are the cornerstone of modern design. From soft colours to subtle patterns, think about simplifying the space to make it look more clean and contemporary. Minimalism also works by removing extra clutter from your vanity—the goal is to create storage solutions that are both functional and stylish. Consider re-doing your cabinetry or adding shelves to the walls if you do not have enough storage.
2. Update the Lighting
You use your bathroom light every time you enter the room, but it may be the last thing on your mind while planning a bathroom remodel. Replacing the stock lighting with recessed downlights, wall sconces, or pendant lights will help set the tone for the rest of your bathroom.
3. Install Golden/Metallic Fixtures
Update the fixtures to match the monochromatic palette of your vanity. This is a low-cost option to modernise your sink and create a focal point for the rest of the room. Gold and metallic elements can help create a sleek aesthetic in your bathroom, but be sure to choose brushed gold or metallic to keep with the modern aesthetic you are going for.
4. Walls and Floors
While some modern rooms prefer to maintain the walls a neutral colour, we are seeing more dark and wallpapered accent walls introduced to the space to bring tone, depth, and texture to the room. The possibilities for accent walls are unlimited, whether you use wood, brick, tiles, or wallpaper.
When it comes to your bathroom floors, it is best to consider heated flooring for increased comfort. However, this may not always be an (affordable) option, which is why you can also go for large tiles that make your bathroom look more spacious. Engineered hardwood and travertine marble are both great options.
5. It’s All in the Details
Don’t forget to adorn your bathroom’s details. Buy matching cases for soap and shampoo or glass trays for stuff like cotton balls or swabs. Keeping your soap on a beautiful tray or your toothbrush in a chrome holder will instantly upgrade the space. Plants are another easy way to bring life into your bathroom, especially if you have gone with a more neutral colour scheme. Asparagus Fern, Croton, Peace Lily, Begonia and Bamboo are some of the best bathroom plants to consider.
