Modern bathrooms are all about what you do with the space you have.
Within many bathrooms there is little room to work with, so making the
most of the space is essential. This is why fitted bathroom suites are
now so popular. Having bathroom furniture made to measure is one of the
most practical design solutions when remodeling the bathroom.
How
many of us have had a bathroom with a cluttered airing cupboard? With
the modern bathroom there's no need to cram your toiletries, towels and
cleaning fluids around the boiler. With fitted vanity units, storage
units and cabinets you'll have all the space you need.
When
examining modern bathroom design, wall-hung furniture has to get a
mention. White gloss will never go out of fashion, but more recently
furniture finishes such as wenge, beech and maple have made a real
emergence in popularity.
As well as the furniture, wall-hung
sanitary ware is a great space-saving solution while giving the bathroom
a contemporary feel. Also, concealed cistern units are a more
eye-pleasing look than the standard close-coupled toilet.
Showerbaths
are a great practical way of optimizing the space, so that you have the
comfort of both bathing and showering. Walk-in showers are also very
popular in the modern bathroom, and if buying a shower enclosure for the
modern bathroom choose one with a chrome structure over white.
Chrome
and stainless steel are the ultimate choice in the modern bathroom, and
taps and bath mixers are available in a number of contemporary designs,
rather than the traditional style faucets. Also, choose chrome towel
rails over standard white radiators, as well as matching chrome
accessories..
Don't be afraid to decorate with bold colours when
tiling or painting, getting the contrast right with the chrome and the
gloss. If using curtains be subtle with the designs and colours, but
preferably go for stylish roller blinds.
