Bathrooms are a place of refuge as well as work, therefore design must be warm, peaceful, and functional. If you use too many of the same design tropes, the space can get clinical or sterile.
Add curves to round up the bathroom. This trend – a favourite of Kendall Wilkinson and Cathie Hong – can be as unobtrusive as having round shower curtain rods or round corners of the vanity in place to soften its look.
Contemporary
Bathrooms today are all about simple lines, minimalist design and muted colours. Invest in natural materials such as wood and stone for an extra dose of class.
White’s timeless appeal is suited for contemporary style, and even a little grey or cream to warm up its look.
Mixing glass and metal makes it possible to go contemporary without overwhelming the design. Glass and metal-framed frameless shower enclosures and frames transform any room into sculptures.
New bathrooms can work on any sized bathroom. Their signature angular lines and geometrical accents are ideal for smaller bathrooms, but their classic sophistication also works well in bigger spaces.
Farmhouse
You can achieve the farmhouse look in bathrooms with a straight lines and neutral shades, and organic features like wood graining or rough carving – like this reused dresser as a bathroom vanity with a stone counter top.
Beautiful white clawfoot tub with modern black fixtures to make this farmhouse bathroom feel a bit homey with simple wood touches of warmth while practical features like a wood stool and loofah brush of functional details that feel rustic.
Farmhouse bathrooms are very minimalistic these days, but green is a fun color that matches well with the style. Adding a vase of fresh flowers in a mason jar is a natural way to add some pops of color and stacks of plank shelves make for lots of storage without taking up too much visual floorspace – check out how Jenna Sue Designs used this in her updated powder room!
Traditional
Bathroom designs are traditional and the designs are timeless, so it is classic and current. Think beautiful basins and pedestal sinks, old metal bath tubs, brass radiators and fine taps and mixers.
The walls can be adorned with floral waterproof wallpaper or wood panelling and tiles are part of the standard bathrooms. Classic subway tiles to hexagonal or penny tiles, all different in shape and feel – texture is beautiful.
Bathrooms from old are usually made with soft pastel colors like pistachio and mint to beige and forest green. There’s a beautiful beauty to this look in metal such as iron or oil-rubbed bronze fixtures and hardware.
Minimalist
: Try to have a minimalist style by using neutral colors, straight lines and good layouts. You’ll only see neutral bathrooms in minimalist style; bright colours can be effective too if they’re framed with neutral shades like white or gray; as with this Becca Interiors bathroom with an old basin which gives character.
Since minimalist bathrooms usually need natural light to make the space feel spacious and less tiring on your eyes, make sure you have windows where you need them and mirrors so they reflect sunlight without making it shine.
Because clutter is the death of minimalism, implementing smart storage is important for minimalism. Use hidden cabinets or wall shelves to store toiletries or other clutter inaccessible to the eye and mind – minimalism gives Orange County homeowners with small spaces an easy way to have a peaceful feel in a small space.
