Modern spaces are popping up in homes everywhere, simply because homeowners like yourself love the clean lines, neutral colors, and the fact that less is always more. However, modern designs have expanded slightly in recent years to incorporate the use of environmentally materials as well, which only makes this design option even more popular.
Here are 8 modern design trends for bathroom renovations in Oakland, CA:
Incorporate Lots of Storage
Storage is key in modern bathrooms, because it will allow you to keep the space uncluttered most of the time. The key to making your storage look and feel modern is to hide the storage as much as possible. Keep the lines on the drawers and cabinets clean and use slight grooves for opening and closing them instead of handles or pulls. You can even install an open vanity to place baskets in a row underneath.
Embrace White Everywhere
Utilize the shapes and styles of you tub, sink, vanity, chandelier, and other features in your renovated bathroom to create a modern design without the use of color. The straight lines of each item should match, while being slightly different at the same time to create visual appeal and even a focal point.
Create Symmetry
Symmetry can seem boring to so many people, but in modern designs it is welcome and necessary. I recommend that you try to create symmetry in your renovated bathroom, so that you can use multiple types of materials and still have that cohesive look at the end. This ensures that you can use your favorite type of wood, a gorgeous slate, and glass tiles without worrying about creating an eyesore to hate long into the future.
Add Bold Accessories
Many homeowners are afraid to accessorize their newly remodeled modern bathroom, because they are afraid of it looking too cluttered or personal. That is the worst thing that you can do though, because you will never feel at home when you are in the space. I recommend choosing a couple of bolder accessories to place in your newly renovated bathroom. The options are endless, but if you have a tub, you may want to go for an elegant, yet subtle, chandelier. Other accessories could include a favorite painting or piece of art.
Choose Your Color Scheme Wisely
There are numerous color schemes available for modern bathrooms, but you will need to choose the one that will fit what you think modern looks like. I love to use white and light grays in the modern bathrooms that I do, because it allows you to accessorize with bolder colors or utilize distinctive patterns for other features.
Design Your Renovated Bathroom According to Its Size
Your modern bathroom may look completely different than your best friend’s and the reason why could be the size of each bathroom. If your bathroom is smaller, you will need to use different features than you would if your bathroom was larger. Imagine trying to stuff a large vanity in a small bathroom or a tiny pedestal sink into a large bathroom and having either option look fabulous. It just won’t happen, which is why you need to work with a carpenter to create the modern design that will work best for the space that you have.
Add Furniture Wisely
Not every bathroom can fit furniture, but if yours can, you are going to want to choose pieces with clean lines. I recommend choosing a bench made from high-quality wood or a comfortable chair that has flowing curves that you can sink into after a long hard day.
Don’t Be Afraid to Add Technology
Many people are afraid to add technology to their bathroom, as they think that it will ruin the overall modern appearance of the space. Well, I can tell you that you can successfully incorporate technology into this space, and it is easier than you think. Most of what is available technology-wise has clean lines, which means that they can be displayed anywhere without making your bathroom look cluttered. Of course, if you are still concerned that technology would be too much, you can have these display panels and other technological items hidden within cabinets. A few of my favorite technological options include touch screen options that are placed on the mirror, which makes them completely disappear unless you need or want to use them.
