Modern bathroom design is often about minimalism and clean finishes that give a spa-like feel. But sometimes it can end up looking and feeling clinical. To make sure your space is as inviting as the rest of your home, try some bathroom design tips to create a feeling of warmth and personality while achieving just the right amount of style.
1 Patterns
Bathrooms often don't have interesting patterns, which is a shame because vibrant patterns can add life to any room. Consider adding cute patterned shower curtains or fun towels, or simply hanging colorful prints in frames as artwork. These low-commitment ideas allow you to keep a classic color scheme for fixed elements while dabbling in color trends when the mood strikes.
2 Anchor with color
Using lighter colors at the eye level will help the bathroom feel clean and airy, but try using lighter colors to balance them out. This adds a sense of richness and helps prevent the space from feeling too stark without making it too dark. Plus, it beautifully sets off the classic white fixtures.
3 Detailed mirrors
A plain flat mirror can function brilliantly in a modern bathroom, but if you want to add some personality, then an eye-catching frame is a good starting point.
4 Dramatic ceiling
If you can't find the right place to add drama, try looking up. A roll of wallpaper is usually enough to cover the ceiling of a bathroom, and since bathrooms are usually taller than they are wide, adding a little interest overhead will only help make the room feel more intimate and proportionate.
