10 Modern Bathroom Ideas

A sleek and modern bathroom creates a sense of sophistication and elegance, so it’s no wonder its so sought after. It doesn’t have to mean you style the space with strictly greys and whites. You can still get wild and wacky with your design choices and colours, so don’t hold back! Create a clean and distinguished design with our ideas and inspiration!

1 – Use Transformative Textures

Using a variety of textures throughout your bathroom can show that you’re not afraid of bold choices and being fashion forward. It’s easy to splash texture throughout your space through the accessories that choose, and even in the wall and floors. This bathroom space from Tile Mountain has achieved this perfectly by using a slightly bumpy wall tile to create a panelling effect and implementing accessories with stone, wood, glossy hardware and even basket textures. This achieves an abundance of depth and character in the space, enhancing the modernity in this bathroom.

2 – Always Golden

Gold has always been associated with a luxurious and expensive price tag. Now we of course don’t mean for you to implement real gold into your bathroom, but through the use of things like wall tiles and even the hardware on your sinks or showers, you can create a similar effect. The gold veining running through these Tile Mountain Carrara Tiles are the perfect example of a tasteful amount of gold in a bathroom space. If the gold is overdone it can achieve the opposite effect and end up cheapening the space. The veining is complimented by subtle gold accents in the hardware of this bathroom, creating a beautiful sophisticated look.

3 – Tame the Clutter

Clutter is a mood killer when it comes to creating the design of your dreams. It gets in the way and creates an eye sore, which no one wants. By using storage methods like under the sink drawers and cabinets, this can all be hidden away to create a seamless and clean aesthetic across your bathroom. This is vital if you’re looking to create a modern scheme. We have a range of storage methods here at Bathroom Mountain, even including mirrored cabinets, which can be great for enhancing that modern theme.

4 – Magnificent Marble

Marble is known to be a luxurious and expensive choice for interiors, and it creates a strong statement in the home. It doesn’t always have to carry the hefty price tag, with marble effect options available, whether that be in your tiles from Tile Mountain or your furniture from Bathroom Mountain. Marble effect products can still create the same modern and chic effect in your bathroom with ease.

5 – Radiantly Reflective

Reflective surfaces can be a sure way to create the illusion of space and grandeur. They utilise the light in the room and reflect it, also helping create texture in an otherwise flat space. This effect can be achieved with chrome hardware on sinks and showers, or through the use of glossy surfaces, for example on the bath or the wall and floor tiles. Don’t forget about mirrors, these are the best way of reflecting light around your room, and if you have a slightly smaller room, they are sure to make it appear much roomier.

7 – Use Smart Mirrors

Mirrors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they now also come with light features and Bluetooth speakers! These can work to enhance the modern feeling in your home. We offer a variety of mirror cabinets at Bathroom Mountain, that will help with hiding your clutter in the bathroom. A Bluetooth speaker in your mirror is perfect if you want to listen to music in the bath or shower, or while you’re getting ready in the morning. What could be better?

8 – Be Bold

Don’t be afraid of being bold with your design, this wont take anything away from the final result. In fact, being brave with your design choices will enhance the final look, creating a modern space you’ll love. Try out colours and textures in your bathroom that are considered unconventional and unique to achieve a modern aesthetic. Being ahead of the times is important, so do your research on what trends are upcoming in regard to colours and textures to ensure you’re early to the game.

9 – Simple and Clean

On the other hand, it can be equally beneficial to be simple and clean with the colours and textures you choose to use. This can be anything from white to neutral browns, or from glossy tiles to matt cabinetry. Take note of our previous point about hiding away your clutter, and you can achieve something similar to our example, with none of your bits and bobs getting in the way of the natural beauty of the bathroom.

10 – Modern and Minimalistic

Following on from this, there is a certain beauty in the minimalistic look, that aids the aim of modern bathrooms. Minimalistic styles are best when used with neutral tones like off-whites and browns. You can still implement your favourite accessories, just makes sure you use a small amount so you don’t take too much attention away from the simplicity and elegance.
