If you’re aiming to install a new, contemporary bathroom this New Year, there are a number of factors to consider, in order to achieve the right results. So what are these important considerations when designing a contemporary bathroom? And how can you ensure the perfect visual and practical space?
What are the considerations when designing a contemporary bathroom?
There are a range of design choices to make when creating a contemporary bathroom space, and it’s important to consider the practicality and functionality of the space, as well as the aesthetic appeal. As such, you should consider:
- Layout and functionality- Start by assessing the bathroom’s size and layout. For smaller bathrooms, you can maximise space with wall mounted fixtures like toilets and sinks. You could also consider incorporating walk-in showers with clear glass panels to create an open, airy feel. For larger bathrooms, you could consider luxurious shower enclosures, and walk in shower spaces, that make the most of the space available.
- Materials and finishes- For a contemporary result, it’s important to choose materials that exude modernity and are easy to maintain. Porcelain tiles, with their durability and wide range of finishes, are ideal for floors and walls. For a sleek look, opt for large-format tiles or seamless panels that reduce grout lines. Stone or timber effect tiles can also be very effective here. For fixtures and finishings, matte black or brushed brass fixtures can bring an elegant result.
- Storage solutions- Contemporary bathrooms require clean, clutter-free surfaces. As a result, you could make use of built-in storage, such as recessed shelving or vanity units, to hide toiletries. Floating vanities or mirrored cabinets can enhance the sense of space and sophistication.
