Where is the place you want to spend an hour alone after a long and busy day at work? Your home and, particularly- the bathroom.
Nowadays, bathrooms are not an underrated space. They combine function and style, and the designs make the space relaxing and private.
Today, we will take a deeper look at the modern bathroom trends that emphasize the core aim of this space- tranquility.
1. Built-in Lights And Storage Cabinets
Clutter-free bathrooms never go out of style. Integrated cabinets and built-in shelves can help with the organization and the neat look of the bathroom.
Storage features that store toiletries and cosmetics are essential for smaller bathrooms.
2. Industrial Spa Center
Black accessories, a black tub or black cabinets, or all these in combination look great in a contemporary bathroom.
Usually, designers match them with muted tones such as grey, sandy, or white. Marble tiles perfectly balance the industrial look of the black metal.
3. Elegance With Natural Touches
This open-concept bathroom is an example of how a small space can be perfectly managed and turned into a functional and zoned bathroom. The tub is placed in the oddest corner and far enough from the vanity area.
The accent in this neutral palette bathroom is real green plants that add a spa feel to the relaxing zone.
4. Luxury With Textures
You can show your originality by mining materials and textures. To keep the ambiance relaxed and the look balanced, stick to neutral colors.
Tiles mimicking stones, pebbles, and metals add visual interest and depth to the space.
5. Take Advantage Of The Corners
The small bathroom can be functional if you plan the zones well in advance. If there is an odd and narrow corner, it can be utilized as a recessed niche or built-in shelves.
Another inspiring idea this image provides is turning the corner into a walk-in shower. The narrow glass partition divides the wet zone from the dry one and creates a visual interest.
6. Marble Is An Evergreen Material
Marble offers a classic look; hence, it never goes out of style when speaking about the design of bathrooms and kitchens.
Nowadays, marble tiles can be found on a larger scale, making them more intriguing and creating a luxurious overall look of the room.
7. Lux With A Chandelier
If you are looking for a safe way to showcase your personality and taste in the bathroom, do it with the fixtures or the accessories.
In this inspiring bathroom design, the luxurious spa ambiance is complemented by an oversized chandelier. The uniqueness of the light fixture is emphasized by two custom mirrors that reflect its remarkable beauty.
8. Focus On The Mirror
As in any other room, mirrors are an important part of the decor and a trick to visually enlarge it. In this contemporary elegant bathroom, not one but a set of five round mirrors is placed on an accent wall.
In addition to their initial functionality, the mirrors are also a focal point of the bathroom.
9. Match Different Marble Patterns
The color of the marble and the vein pattern can be used to create a unique bathroom decor. Choose two colors and mix and match them.
The black-and-white combination offers a classic and elegant look that perfectly matches any finish of the accessories.
10. Create An Accent Wall With Tiles
When speaking about modern bathroom trends, geometric patterns must be mentioned. That can be elements of the decor or tiles with such patterns.
In this bathroom idea, the vanity wall is covered with striking tiles, picturing triangles in different colors. This tile works great in the contemporary bathroom design and pairs well with the straight lathes of the storage cabinetry.
11. Go For Neutral Palette
If you ask a designer about modern bathroom trends, they will certainly mention neutral and muted colors. They achieve the calming effect that is the core of the bathroom design.
Neutral colors can make the ambiance remind you of a spa but in the comfort of your home.
12. Create A Continuous Space
One clever way to make a small bathroom look larger is by applying the same tile on the floor and the walls. This continuous flow of the tile tricks the eye.
The effect can be enhanced by light-colored tiles that make the room feel brighter and open.
13. Zone It With Stripes
To create an intriguing accent and play with the visual look of the small bathroom, go for stripe tiles. Horizontal stripes will make the room appear wider, while vertical ones will affect the height perception.
If you want to keep the color palette elegant, choose black stripes with white or sandy background.
14. Add Character With Wood
Wood can make the atmosphere so warm and inviting. This is the reason this texture has become trendy in modern bathroom designs. Wood tiles are usually paired with marble tile patterns.
You can see them in the shower area but also as the flooring of the entire bathroom.
15. Repurpose Natural Elements
A large log can be repurposed into a cosmetic holder in a modern bathroom.
This reclaimed wood is perfect for contrast and a unique way to add warmth to the space.

Clean lines, simple textures, and a neutral color palette are all within the minimalist approach.
It is great for smaller bathrooms as it keeps them airy and implies a sense of elegance.

Designers advise including a clear glass partition, a built-in vanity, glass shelves and metal accessories in a modern bathroom makeover.
The simple yet evergreen black, white, and grey color approach will create a clean and appealing space.
20. Create A Focal Point With Symmetrically Placed Tiles
You can create a custom bathroom retreat with bold tiles. In addition to their texture, color and pattern, you can experiment with the way they are arranged.
The tile layout will turn the bold tile into the bathroom’s main feature rather than a backdrop.
21. Combine Vintage And Glamourous
If you plan to remodel your bathroom in a modern room, don’t feel pushed by the wall to use a strict range of materials, colors, and accents. The modern style can be blended with old-dated styles that will bring contrast, character and uniqueness to the space.
In this bathroom idea, modern meets vintage and the bathroom looks fantastic.

Stone surfaces create a modern look and an organic feeling in the contemporary bathrooms. Stone tiles look particularly well in the walk-in shower zone as a wall cover.
The natural surface adds balance to the room and makes the ambiance more welcoming.

If you like the bold design moves but want to make sure that the final result is appealing, try a stone accent wall. You can choose among earthy tones and different patterns of the stones.
There are tile designs like mosaics, flagstones, pebbles, and rough masonry.
