The modern bathroom style is elegant, sleek, and minimalistic. Think clean lines, geometric shapes, minimal colours, and top quality. Whether your bathroom is large or small, modern bathroom design can turn it into a luxurious sanctuary for relaxation.
Since you use your bathroom every day, it should be designed to suit your personal style. If you are a fan of clean, uncluttered spaces and sophisticated design, a modern bathroom style may be just right for you. Some of the key elements of this style include:
A freestanding bathtub
Streamlined mirrors and lighting
Minimalist faucets and fixtures
A floating vanity and toilet
Geometric tile shapes
Neutral color scheme
A freestanding tub is a key element in a modern style bathroom, so if you have space, plan to include this iconic feature. With contemporary, artistic styling, a freestanding tub creates a strong focal point for the room, like a piece of sculpture.
Modern tubs may be oval-shaped, rectangle, or even designed for corner placement. Key design elements to look for are clean lines and flat slender edges. Stay away from pedestals, clawfoot tubs, or intricate curves and details if you are going for a modern style.
Bathroom mirrors and lighting must work well together to create a functional solution for performing bathroom activities such as shaving or applying makeup. For a modern bathroom, you’ll of course be looking for clean lines and geometric shapes for both the mirrors and the lighting.
For your vanity mirror, a great choice is one of the new high-tech frameless styles with integrated lighting. A backlit mirror is a great choice because it eliminates shadows around your face. This choice is a space saver as you don’t need to add additional lighting around the mirror.
For your vanity area, you can place sconce lighting on the wall above the mirror, or on either side. If you plan to place lighting on either side, try to choose a mirror that is 60%-70% the width of your bathroom vanity to give the sconces enough space to frame the mirror.
For the modern bathroom style, bar lighting is a popular choice, which is long and narrow with clean lines. It can be mounted horizontally above the mirror or vertically on either side.
Most modern bathrooms also feature recessed ceiling lights. They offer ambient lighting throughout and can also be used for specific zones. For example, you may have a recessed light over the toilet area or in the shower stall. Consider lining the border of the bathroom ceiling with these lights to illuminate the entire space.
As you plan your bathroom lighting, don’t forget the natural light in the room. Windows and skylights are great options to add a fresh and functional edge to the modern bathroom.

Gold Bathrooms are increasingly becoming a statement of intent. A way of expressing our aspirations and personal taste.
With all the sanitary ware and decorative options on the market, we can make the bathroom reflect our own individuality in a practical and luxurious way. It is the one space in the modern home that is private, dedicated to wellness (both body and mind) and luxurious pampering. Gold too is synonymous with luxury.
If we think about the bathroom as the precious jewel in our home, then the gold bathroom takes on a special significance.
With the gold bathroom sometimes less is more. Gold is a precious metal and overegging the omelette can be counterproductive. As a way of drawing the eye, nothing compares to gold, but too much and it just fades into the background.
The best ways to feature gold in the bathroom depend on the other materials used throughout the space. With this article, we are going to examine how to highlight gold under the following categories:
Gold bathroom lighting and accessories
Gold bathroom taps and shower fittings
Sanitary ware finishes and mosaic tiles
Plumbing installations
Accessories are the key to unlocking the potential of the gold bathroom. The most popular ones include towel rails, toilet roll and brush holders, shelving, mirror frames, etc. Brushed gold bathroom taps, for example, have a flat but intriguing presence. But don’t forget lighting and elements of furniture and sanitary ware such as Wash Hand Basins. They are also excellent ways to introduce gold.
Gold bathroom accessories work best when seen against plain, or monochrome finishes. Marble effect wall tiles, stone and plain ceramic are good options. The gold should really stand out like a piece of jewellery against the skin. That way it draws the eye as well as fulfilling a practical function.
A gold light feature can really pull a bathroom space together because gold can accentuate traditional or modern style décor. A vintage light fitting in gold never looks out of place whether it be Victorian era or Mid-century modern.
A small stool, storage unit or side table in gold might just be enough, when combined with a complimentary tile, to add a luxurious element. These additions are not only decorative but provide handy ways to store and keep toiletries close to hand in a gold bathroom.
There are two popular categories of gold finish. The brushed gold finish, which is matt, and the polished gold finish, which is shiny. Brushed gold looks very contemporary whereas polished gold was more popular in the past. Therefore, depending on the style you are creating, one or the other will be more suitable in your gold bathroom.
Mixing and matching can be a great way to draw attention to gold taps in the bathroom. Like the example above, where a period-style WHB is paired with a brushed gold finish for the taps, sink plug and even the soap dispenser. The effect is visually powerful, especially against the white ceramic.
