The bathroom is a room where clean lines and surfaces take on their full meaning. Indeed, it is ideal that your bathroom decor matches the rest of your home's aesthetic, so it is essential to stay modern if the tone of your home is.
However, for those who need a renovation (but can't fully commit), updating your bathroom is the perfect place to start to realize your wildest decorating dreams. Surprisingly, antiques are not an oxymoron in a modern bathroom. Indeed, finding appropriate pieces, regardless of age, can help update the look of your bathroom.
Don't be afraid to be bold with color
While all-white bathrooms usually have the reputation for anointing a bathroom modern, by no means does modern have to mean surgically white, however: graphically patterned tiles, bold color-blocking, and even colorful
bathroom suite feel very of the moment.
Play with texture
Crittall or plain glass shower screens with a bold border can add a touch of industrial chic to the room, as can old-fashioned subway tiling in Matte texture, too, are a welcome break from the gleaming chrome or nickel that usually dominates bathroom fixtures.
In with the old, out with the new
Surprisingly, antiques are not an oxymoron in a modern bathroom. Indeed, finding appropriate pieces – regardless of age – can help to update your bathroom's look. Take inspiration from the 1930s-era ceiling lamp Marie-Louise Sjögren installed in this glorious appartement in the Swedish Capital, for example, or the hydrotherapy bathroom with its original Edwardian-era fixtures.
