Add bright pops of color to your bathroom with towels and washcloths.
Bathrooms are a necessity in any home. Decorating that modern traditional bathroom can be a challenge, however. Since bathrooms are generally pretty small in terms of space, it is important to ensure that each item has a place and fulfills a purpose.
Instructions
1. Opt for a monochromatic theme. Pale colors such as light blue, yellow, sage green and cream make spaces appear larger. Darker colors like gray, navy blue and forest green make spaces appear smaller and can seem confining.
2. Show clean, sharp lines in your modern traditional bathroom with fitted bathroom cabinetry. With plenty of storage space in these custom-made cabinets, clutter can be kept to a minimum. Choose white or dark wood for your cabinetry to make it blend in with the rest of your décor.
3. Create a focal point with your bathtub. Freestanding bathtubs are excellent for small spaces, since they can be placed nearly anywhere. Install a showerhead and a wraparound curtain so the bathtub can do double duty.
4. Select neutral colors for flooring and countertops. Off white, cream and stone colors are perfect for the modern traditional bathroom. Choose ceramic or stone tiles for flooring. Laminate is not a good choice for flooring due to moisture levels found in the bathroom. Opt for granite or marble countertops. If neither of these is in your budget, substitute laminate countertops that look like granite or marble.
5. Ensure that all accessories coordinate with one another. This includes cabinet hardware, towel hanger and soap dishes. Choose chrome accessories to match faucets or go with a dark wood alternative.
6. Add pops of color with towels and washcloths. Choose colors such as bright green, orange, yellow or black for towels. Place a sleek chair in the corner of the bathroom to hold towels. A small basket under the chair can hold rolled up washcloths.
7. Install a variety of lighting options. Bright lights should be placed over bathroom sinks, so applying makeup is a breeze. Overhead lighting with a dimmer switch is an added luxury -- you can change the lighting level to suit your preferences.
