Clean, angular lines and a pop of color are traits of a modern design.
Redecorating a bathroom with a modern theme means clean lines and a minimalist approach to design. Small rooms are sometimes the easiest to redecorate in a modern theme because they benefit the most from minimal decor. Bathrooms have stepped up their decor from a necessary room to one that can rival any luxury spa. Create a clean, modern look for your small bathroom to improve your home's value.
Flooring
For a sleek design, choose tile in the same color as the wall, or use the same tile on the floor and the wall to give one continuous flow of color. Peel-and-stick laminate tiles offer the beauty of more expensive ceramic or marble tiles with the ease of installation and the durability of vinyl. A modern trend in bathroom design is the use of wooden flooring. Wood offers a warn and inviting feeling, but will require the floor to be sealed every few months to keep out the moisture. Marble or stone is always a good choice in bathrooms, but the marble will be very slippery when wet.
Lighting and Accessories
Add amenities where you can, especially those that do not take up any extra space. Choose a massaging shower head, heated towel racks and fog-less mirrors instead of their older counterparts to maintain a modern aesthetic. Install radiant floor heating under tile and replace any windows with glass blocks or frost them instead of using curtains. Add mirrors all around the room, not just at the vanity. This will reflect the light and open up the space. Natural light is always a good option; add windows along the top of the wall or skylights to allow the light to filter down.
Vanity
The vanity is often one of the two largest things in a bathroom, especially a small one. When choosing a vanity for your modern bathroom, make sure that it matches the rest of the decor and suits the size of the room. Modern bathrooms utilize wall space more than other designs, so a large vanity may not be necessary. Opt for angular designs and, if the rest of the decor matches, glass or stainless steel counter tops. To add to the modern feel of the room, avoid clutter on the counters.
Color
Colors in a modern room should be limited to no more than two. Keep the colors classic to keep your bathroom looking up-to-date for years to come. Some colors that will always stay in style are black, white, brown and gray. For a bolder bathroom, choose bright, vibrant colors in designs that draw the eye upwards. Choose designs such as vertical stripes or a border along the top of the wall.
