For those who want to have a modern bathroom, it must be kept in mind that functionality and the use of good materials are essential for this style. Try to check the size of your bathroom to choose the appropriate equipment and not to err in the dimension. In the market, we can find several models that stand out in the environment and become the key piece for the environment.
The concept of the modern bathroom refers to a current trend, which can often be linked to technology or an automation project. But in addition, the main thing is to preserve a design in straight, orthogonal and clean lines. Always remembering to pay attention to details at the focal points of the bathroom.
One of the most common cases is when residents want to renovate their old bathroom to give it a more modern look. This task can be done with small adjustments without the need for a major renovation that takes a long time. You can exchange only the sanitary pieces for a more current model, apply a painting on the walls, insert some decorative objects on the countertop, change the coating only on the box or the countertop stone. Anyway, there are countless options, below we will give you more ideas on how to transform an old bathroom and another more current and modern.
If you are starting a new project, the bathroom can receive some simple and accessible applications, which we point out in 4 items:
1. Use modern objects
Objects can enter to give the modern atmosphere in space! For example, some plant pot, exposed towels, carpet, a decorative tray, organizing baskets and so on.
2. Coatings
The coverings say a lot about the bathroom, both for its design and its functionality. The floor must be made of an efficient material to provide the necessary safety in this wet area. The glass in the box must be clear, without any texture or a different finish. Regarding mirrors, the larger they are, the greater the visual effect of a larger space. The ideal is to cover a good part of the wall of the tub and the toilet, forming a plane from end to end.
3. Sanitary parts
Bet on vats in straight lines that help to make the environment more modern. Currently the market offers infinite models of sanitary pieces with a different design, either by color or finish. The taps are more and more minimalist, and the toilets are more and more technological.
4. Materials
The choice of materials depends on the resident's taste. But have a good project in hand so that the composition of colors and the availability of sanitary utensils are in accordance with your bathroom. Wood, for example, is ideal for those looking for a relaxing and Zen-like environment. For a colorful environment, the tiles leave the environment playful and vibrant. Acrylic, on the other hand, can give a clean air due to its transparency.
For those who want a neutral bathroom, the ideal is to opt for clear porcelain tiles, glass doors and stone countertops. For those who want to dare in colors: cover the box space with some tiles or colored inserts. A good way to get out of the clean is to highlight some detail with some noble material, which can be glass inserts, burnt cement, wooden floors (deck style) or any other material of your choice.
The most important of all these 4 items mentioned above is the harmony between them! They should complement each other, taking balance and following the style proposal until the end. The modern style is what will determine all the choices for the bathroom design. The cool thing is to make a reference wall to see if the composition will be cool before starting shopping and the work!
