Contemporary style incorporates of-the-moment materials and up-to-date design trends. As if creating a space that’s worthy of posting isn’t renovation motivation enough, opting for a contemporary bathroom design aesthetic—think sleek lines, natural materials, a neutral color palette and others —is the best way to balance today’s trends with elements you’ll love for years to come. And the best part is the look is one that suits spaces and budgets, both large and small.

Colors And Materials

Contemporary bathrooms are all about neutrals, though you might see some contrasting bathrooms, too, for example, done in black and white, graphite grey and white or something like that. If you’re sticking with shades of white and grey, choose your textures wisely. The vertical subway tile, paired with woodgrain floors and shiny glass shower doors do the trick, without the need for loud hues. Moody bathrooms done in mostly black are also welcome, they look very seamless and stylish. Black fixtures are a great idea to add that modern dramatic feel to the space but if you don’t like that, just mix the metal finishes to achieve that fresh look.

Picking the materials of your bathroom renovation is a delicate dance, but when working with a contemporary space, the sky is the limit. Mix metals with stone, glass, and wood for an end result that is undeniably contemporary.

Tiles

Tiles are a must for a contemporary bathroom, forget all those wall painting and wallpaper. Try marble, concrete, terrazzo, wood-imitating and stone tiles to get a chic and refined contemporary look. You may also try chevron cladding or skinny or large scale tiles, all of them look cool and fresh.

Clean Lines

From the vanity to the shower, to the mirror, every angle in a bathroom should sit neatly at a 90 degree, and it’s satisfying every ounce of our contemporary cravings. This is what makes your bathroom really contemporary-like, so stick to this idea.

Tubs

Forget clawfoot refined bathtub and prefer a beautiful contemporary one with a sculptural shape or of some modern material – wood, stone, even glass. Such a tub will highlight the style of the bathroom and will become a centerpiece here.
