1. Into the Wild
Welcome the modern warmth inside your bathroom. Matching colours or fine contrasts are now yesterday’s news. Rustic is the new modern. Go for a forest aura with leafy green flooring, and rustic wood on the walls. Sink basins can adorn the touch of forest browns. Alternate between green and soft browns for an earthly feel. Foster plants inside to complete the aura and set the benchmark for a new bathroom design.
2. Matte Black
Matte black into a confined space such as a bathroom completely transforms the space. They underlined boldness and luxury. Adorn it on the windows, to the lighting, and on the floors, and witness your bathroom become a timeless escape route.
3. Natural Setting
Borrow your modern bathroom ideas directly from nature. Furnish your bathroom with natural materials like wood, stone, slate and terracotta. Natural elements attract and invite to be touched, and when manifested artistically inside a small space like a bathroom, they reverberate a fine opulence inside.
4. Futuristic Showers
Rainfall and electric showers have adorned modern bathrooms to be futuristic and fancied setups. They come as brilliant options to raise the standard of your bathroom. Rainfall showers emit water from the ceiling allowing for a gentle and steady fall on your head. Electric showers are self-heating showers and use electricity other than water pressure and provide hot water instantly. One can also preset a temperature as they desire which makes it a convenient option to use in all seasons. Such options can actually ornament your bathroom from an aesthetic point of view.

Though unheard of, that is exactly why you should implement art forms inside your bathroom. If you like characters, stick pictures of the personalities you adore. Etch some ideological quotes or life lessons of great/inspiring personalities inside your bathroom. If you have a bathtub, paint it with your imaginative thoughts. Experiment with your taste and transform your existing bathroom design into a happening place.
6. Traditional
If you are a fan of class and style, you may want to try and add a traditional touch. From lighting, mirrors, choosing the patterns of your walls and floors, let all accessories exude that retro theme. Try Wall Sconces for lighting as they immediately offer a classy and elegant feel.
A vintage mirror can provide that creative twist inside your bathroom; and placing it with a white tub will add to the vibe.
When choosing tiles, try a yesteryear pattern. Vintage tiles can be quite rare in modern bathrooms. Look for geometrical or floral patterns and if you are quite the emotional type, look for long lost or broken patterns which can add a bit of drama too.
7. Bold Fixtures and Fittings
Choose handles of brass or of similar metal for fixtures. For example, it can be your hand shower or the shower from the wall. Sink taps and handles of lighting accessories too can be of brass. Such continuity will provide an opulent feel to the bathroom against striking plain walls.
8. Industrial
Take inspiration from the industrial look. Go with barren brick walls and a chimney for outlet. Play with low hanging bulbs (at least 2 or 3) from the ceiling into the bathtub. try strong chord wires These can be reminiscent of the industrial revolution in England.
9. Monochromatic Style
Yet another timeless style. No matter what period you go into, black and white monochromes will never go out of date. White walls with black accessories can be strikingly elegant. Go for plain white flooring or a mix of white and black squared boxes that alternate.
10. Change the Tone
Add a wooden bench in your bathroom. Choose wooden cabinets that protrude out from the wall. Let the sink be placed upon wooden drawers as storage boxes. Fit brass or metal handles and feel your bathroom like a spa.
11. Eclectic Design
Go for varied colours sprinkled all over. Be a fanatic, add patterns where you like it. Alternate between red, yellow and sky blue on walls. Paint your cabinets and bathtub with extravagant colours. Add lush greens to corners. Place an antique relic near the window.
