Bathroom Remodeling Ideas for That Modern Bath Look

Bathroom designs and Your Remodel Project

Bathroom designs have come a long way in recent years with everything you need to transform your bath into a bubbling fantasy. These bathroom remodeling ideas will help you get started.

The Time has Come to Remodel Your Old Bath - Where to Look ...

You can also find bathroom remodeling ideas by looking at displays in different stores. I am always amazed by what I see, but most of what I like I can not afford.

I guess my tastes run much higher than what is in my checking account, but that’s okay. Perhaps someday I can get what I love. Until then, I am partially content to dream about it. I can afford to change colors and paper, which I tend to do a lot.

My husband often jokes that he never knows what the house will look like when he comes home on any given day.

A Creative Bathroom Vanity

Modern bath remodeling starts with your vanity. There are hundreds of choices when it comes to vanities for baths, from the elegant natural stone bath vanity to the antique style and traditional wood vanities.

If you want a modern look, opt for the high tech vanity with a simplistic mirror, a grid strainer with a cover, brackets made of stainless steel along with stainless steel plugs and screws, and a lovely chrome brass trap.

This modern type of vanity can be complemented by a stainless steel towel rail. It makes bath remodeling a cinch and gives your bathroom a new cleaner, smoother look and feel.

Modern Bath Tubs

Another major feature of your bathroom design is your bath tub. The bath tub should be large and comfortable because if you’re like many people, you probably like to use the tub as a mini-getaway!

Modern bath remodeling often calls for large garden-type tubs or spa baths with installed water or air jets. These offer a massage similar to a Jacuzzi without the expense of installing one. There are tubs for one person or two, but it is recommended to stay with one-person tubs since the larger tubs take a whole lot more water as well as floor space.

Choose a tub for your new bath design that complements your vanity sink. You can opt for a rounded garden tub or a more modern deep, rectangular-shaped tub with elegant tile work to match your flooring. For the ultimate spa bath experience, opt for a tub with dramatic color and lighting options that can be adjusted with the touch of a button, and choose air jets instead of water jets for a gentler massage!

Modern Bathroom Remodeling Ideas for Lighting

Bath lighting may seem trivial, but it is actually very important in getting the look and feel you want.

Adequate lighting is pertinent for morning primping and bathing, and you'll want to avoid shadows if possible. Shadows often appear when using recessed bath lighting as your sole source of light.

More about Bathroom Lighting

To achieve a modern bath design without shadows, you can still used recessed floodlights, but offset them with a diffused or soft focus light fixture mounted at eye level. The fixture should be mounted on either side of the mirror and shining at your face level.

If you're unable to mount fixtures on the wall near your vanity, then choose a decorative ceiling-mounted diffused lighting fixture for better lighting. Use matching light fixtures over your tub for even more light, or install mood lighting fixtures for the tub area for the ultimate spa experience.

Remember the Bathroom Tiles

It is always a good idea to think about what goes on in your bathroom before you remodel it. One of the most important things to remember is that you use a lot of water, and it might go everywhere, especially if you have kids. So, consider flooring tile or linoleum of high quality that is resistant to moisture.

This is why tiles are very popular for the bathroom. They are water resistant, and they are easy to clean and install. Bathroom tiles do not have to be boring, but they are an exceptionally good idea to protect your walls and floors from water damage.

You can go with the basic white bathroom tiles if you wish, and these can be a great look. Some like to have an all white bathroom, and that can look fresh and clean. Many more, however, love to have some color.

You can get your bathroom tile designs in many colors, or you can save the color for your shower curtains, window curtains, towels, and wash clothes. There are endless ways to add color, so it’s quite all right to get white tiles if that is what you want to have.

No Matter if It's a Bone Toilet or Other Style ...

This is one of the most important fixtures in your bathroom as you will be doing a lot of "thinking" there. Choose a modern one-unit toilet along with attractive bathroom accessories to complete your bath remodeling project.

Paint the Bath or Wallpaper It - Match It

Your bath paint colors or wallpaper should match the flooring and fixtures. Towel warmers and racks, cabinets, paintings, wall sconces, shelves, plants, rugs, curtains or blinds, and other accessories can accent your modern bath decor.
