The Bathroom Is The Hardest Working Room In Your Home

Bathrooms could be the most often overhauled room in the house. Done right, it’s a model of simplicity and space efficiency. But we know that it’s easy to get overwhelmed by choices. Your bathroom should work for every member of the family—and for guests as well. Of course, you want durable and easily cleaned surfaces. But, just as with any room in your home, you also want beauty and comfort. For inspiration, let us show you bathroom designs and ideas that are aesthetically pleasing and highly functional all at once.

Vanity, Stone Countertop & Lighting

No matter where they are in your home, a bathroom should always be well-lit. As many bathrooms often do not have natural light, this is even more important. Keep lighting classic - say no to ostentatious embellishments and stark-looking minimal fixtures. Instead, opt for graceful lighting; think chic chandeliers, recessed lights, drum pendants or stylish wall sconces.

Try light-coloured stones such as quartz and marble work well in a modern bathroom. From countertops to floors, engineered quartz or granite in a light hue make for nonporous alternatives for surfaces that are easier to care for. Go for an under mount sink to keep attention on the counters - the smoothness of the surface makes a smart backdrop for a stylish faucet.

Sophisticated Bathroom Colours

Whether you opt for warm, inviting tones or cool, relaxing hues, colours in a modern bathroom should be soft. Remember that subtlety is key; sophisticated and fresh are the moods of the day, and you want the vibe of your bathroom to be reminiscent of a spa. Consider using lots of white and off-white tones to give a clean, crisp feeling to the room. If you are looking for something a little richer than white, look for tones of light blue, rose or grey. Other colours palettes that work include; 

• Soft neutrals: taupe, chocolate or silver 

• Serene hues: dusty rose, sea-foam green, misty blue 

• Rich colours: deep navy, charcoal grey, forest green

Walk-In Shower & Bathtub.

If it is the aesthetic of a freestanding tub you want but needs something more accessible, consider a partially freestanding bath. Drop-in and freestanding bathtubs are all great options for modern bathrooms as well. If it’s a shower you prefer, a simple, elegant design is best. Adorn the shower walls with beautiful tiles and elegant shower glass for a natural look. For more privacy, customize the area with frosted glass or a half-wall.

Bathroom Flooring

The floor in your bathroom should be crisp and clean. An often rectangular or hexagon tile in a brick-like design, this versatile flooring goes with just about anything. Popular flooring materials include stone, ceramic and porcelain. Additionally, a matte floor tile is also a nifty trick to help reduce the slip factor of your bathroom floor without sacrificing an ounce of style. High-durability flooring is vital when designing your bathroom as they are often high-traffic areas, particularly important if it is your master bath.

Finishing Touch

When it comes to the finishing touches, less is more. With the addition of a handful of carefully selected items, you can be sure to strike the perfect balance. Some great ideas for accessories could include; 

• Ceramic lamps 

• Potted orchids 

• A cashmere throw 

• Photos and decorations

• Contemporary artwork in a simple frame 

• Glass lamps
