If you like to take long showers or soak in the tub to relax, consider remodeling the bathroom. Modern bathrooms are known for their clean lines and minimalist features, which can evoke a sense of calm to help you decompress. Updating bathroom vanities and additional fixtures can also make the room more functional and easier to navigate. If you want to invest in a bathroom makeover, here are a few suggestions on how to modernize the space.   

3 Tips to Create a Modern Bathroom

1. Install a Floating Vanity

Open spaces and simple cabinetry are characteristics of modern bathrooms, so consider replacing the current bulky vanity with a sleeker model. Floating bathroom vanities complement a modern aesthetic, as they are mounted on walls to create open space between the fixtures and the floor. It is possible to find floating bathroom vanities with enough drawers to hold your belongings and double sinks to make it easier for two people to use the area at the same time.

2. Stick to a Neutral or Monochrome Color Palette

The minimalist design of a modern bathroom also extends to the color choices. Instead of decorative tile surfaces in vibrant patterns, opt for a neutral palette of crisp white, warm tan, or cool gray in porcelain, wood, or stone installations. Light will bounce off the surfaces and make the room appear brighter and larger. If you want to incorporate color, choose a palette of one main color in two or three varying shades. A bold hue will make the room more eye-catching without pulling focus from the clean lines throughout the space. 

3. Update the Lighting Scheme

Altering the current lighting design can dramatically change the mood in the bathroom. To modernize the space and fill the room with ambient light, replace the current overhead fixture with a contemporary chandelier. You can replace bulbs above the vanity with large globes. The fixtures will provide task lighting and add an interesting focal point to the room.
