Modern bathrooms are characterized with a sense of serenity that leaves quite an impression. So just what does a modern bathroom look like you ask? Modern bathroom designs are characteristically simple, tending to shy away from ornate decorations and accents. Rather the modern look is clean and inviting as to keep from overwhelming guests.
The shift towards a new style of architecture and design began in the early 19th century. Modern design marked a shift away from traditional decor that was often hand-crafted and intricately detailed. I was looking for images that would capture the essence of modern bathroom design. The results are awe-inspiring yet all the while unique.
The Qualities of Modern Bathrooms
There is no one single cookie-cutter model that is followed to create a modern bathroom. Modern bathrooms take a piece from the pages of Minimalist bathroom designs which place a clear emphasis on simplicity and sharp lines. Modern bathrooms typically employ black and white ploys, however, a wide range of colors has been seen in contemporary designs more recently. Yes, there is a difference between modern and contemporary.
Modern bathrooms are commonly found with open space designs that create airy and spacious feel. Free-standing showers lace together the luxury feeling that every homeowner desires. Free-standing not your preference? Others choose to go with curbless showers that can replace the existing area in your bathroom.
Originally I wanted to create short list of maybe five to ten modern bath designs but I couldn’t help it! Some of these layouts had me in awe. The creativity, thoughtfulness, and the resulting display is powerful. Modern bathrooms can draw out undeniable emotions that leave you inclined to feel a special way.
