Many people associate a modern bathroom with a big budget, but that doesn't need to be the case. There is a wide choice of accessories available these days for creating a modern bathroom without breaking the bank.

Minimalist bathroom design

Let's start by assuming that you have already de-cluttered the space as much as possible. The secret to a modern look is not what you have necessarily, but what you don't have. Minimalism is the key.

Walls are important. A wall that is a single colour can add space, especially if it is a light colour, but even darker colours can do the trick if the other parts of your bathroom, such as the bathtub, toilet and vanity, are white. There are some great wallpapers available that allow you to change the look of your bathroom more easily than changing tiles, but that still last a long time.

And speaking of vanities, one of the best things you can do for the modern bathroom is to consider a newer style of cabinet. Freestanding basins that are wide and shallow are favoured over the smaller oval shapes, and sinks now come in a wide range of materials, including beautiful pottery style bowls.

Bathroom toiletry accessories

Finding a range of toiletry accessories can create a uniform look. Pewter, pottery or monochromatic toothbrush holders, soap dishes and vases can look effective if they work together. Non-slip mats, towels and robes can also be purchased together from any department store, in colours to suit your vision.

As a balancing measure, don't forget nature. Just because a bathroom's modern, doesn't mean it has to be cold. A bathroom should be a haven from the world, where you can relax and recharge. Try placing some composite stones (available at landscaping specialists) into a big glass vase with some driftwood for a nice feature. Small potted flower arrangements also do the trick. Get creative alongside being practical to achieve a striking balance.

The modern bathroom can be a combination of exciting elements, both natural ambience and sleek minimalist discipline. There are no rules as to the overall style or the combination of themes, but try to picture what feel you want your bathroom to have and then seek out accessories that can help you achieve that effect.

Accessorising your bathroom can bring it to life. Sometimes it's about what you leave out as much as what you add. Read about bathroom accessories here.
