Designing Modern Bathrooms
If your bathroom features dingy fixtures and linens that resemble shag carpeting, then it's definitely time for an upgrade. Most modern bathrooms now aim for a spacious, relaxing atmosphere where you can unwind after a long day. In this article, we've got some practical and inexpensive bathroom remodel ideas that will help you get started.
Many modern, designer bathrooms are modeled after some of the world's most luxurious spas. The goal is to create a place where you can relax and recharge your batteries. The room should have a color theme that you find soothing. Among the most popular colors are cool blues, purples, greens and pinks. Add soft, frosted lighting, some elegant bathroom wall mirrors and beautiful greenery for a very calming effect. If you have a spacious master suite, consider a day bed for lounging on after a bath as part of your design. This will allow you to be alone in absolute comfort. If you don't have the space for a day bed, check out bed and bath shops for bath pillows. These pillows have suction cups that attach to the tub to comfortably support your neck and head as you soak.
Beautiful bathrooms can also be created using edgier, darker colors accented with white and highly polished marble and steel, for an avant guard feel. These ultra modern designs can feature striking pedestal sinks with graceful lines and classic claw-foot tubs that almost seem like sculptures. For elegant touches, add accessories such as soap dishes, cups and toothbrush decanters made of pewter or black porcelain vases in egg shapes filled with pussy willows. If you really want to spoil yourself, install an electric floor warmer to heat the tiles and a chrome towel warmer so that you can wrap yourself in luxurious comfort on cold days.
Modern bathrooms no longer are limited to cold, white fixtures. Tubs, sinks and toilets are now made in a wide variety of colors and materials to suit every taste. If you're into a neoclassic look, a claw footed, freestanding tub made of wrought iron can make an incredible centerpiece. For something more luxurious, consider a deep soaking tub with soothing jets that massage away tension. An added benefit to this tub design is that they are small and deep, which frees up more floor space. Floating sinks are another fixture that can maximize your space. Glass sinks with clear countertops will also make your room seem much bigger. For modern bathrooms toilets have even undergone a transformation and are now designed with elongated bowls and seats for maximum comfort.
There's no need to spend thousands of dollars on new fixtures if your old ones are in good shape. Modern bathrooms are about comfort and functionality, so spend the extra money on new paint, tiling and attractive accessories. If you do want to invest in new fixtures, select ones that demonstrate your tastes but are also comfortable. A bath should be a treat to yourself, so create a beautiful space in which you'll want to linger.
