  • Seamless Storage

A great thing about storage units, is that they come in all shapes, sizes, colours and textures. Seamless storage is all about ensuring the less-than pretty bathroom products can be easily hidden away, leaving you with a show-home tidy bathroom after every use.  

We’d say ‘seamless’ storage is one of the main focal points of any modern bathroom. It’s what keeps the room looking sophistically streamline. If you can maintain a streamline look in your bathroom, it will give your space the ultimate contemporary feel.  

Streamline storage will help you achieve a clean look, allowing the eye to focus on the shape, colour and symmetry of your bathroom, rather than a busy storage unit. Keeping everything streamlined is the ultimate contemporary look.

Kinder on the ears, soft-close toilets are also easy on the eye. Explore curved, wall-hung, or floor-standing designs – all perfect options for creating a gorgeous modern space.

  • The Wood Effects

Wood and natural textures are on the rise for bathrooms according to an interior designer from Mind Interior. The wholesome feel and touches of the outdoors are great for well-being.

According to the Mind the Interior, Research evidence shows a correlation between our health and factors such as providing adequate daylight and views of nature, using colours that promote mental well-being, acoustics, indoor air quality, ergonomics, furnishings, scents and more.

Wooden panelling has become popular in UK bathrooms along with wooden finished furniture and wood floor. Tongue & groove panelling works well when painted a gorgeous deep navy or majestic emerald green. Woods, stones and other natural materials will help you achieve a calming space to relax and unwind.

  • Freestanding Furniture

There’s nothing that says Spa, quite like a freestanding bath or tap. They are beautiful features to consider when planning a modern suite.

Our freestanding tubs have been created to hug you as you soak, for a truly soothing bath and are a great way to add a focal point to your bathroom.

Design options include oval, slipper, and square – so, you have plenty to choose from, and different size options are available depending on the size of your space.

A freestanding tub looks far superior to the standard bath – if you’re looking for a luxury modern room you have to include this indulgent tub!

  • Pops of Colour

The bathroom is typically one of the less colourful rooms in the home. Well not anymore, because people are loving the more vibrant bathroom look.

Injecting some colour into your bathroom colour schemes is a great way to have fun with interiors.

Not only are certain colours great for encouraging a good mood but also brilliant ways to get children excited about bath time.

  • The Smart Era

The smart era is just beginning. With more innovative bathroom products available now more than ever, there has been a rise in Japanese bidets, digital showers, and digital shower valves.

Smart bathroom solutions connect your home. From Bluetooth functions to WIFI connectivity, smart products help make your everyday hygiene habits that little bit easier.

Who doesn’t want a self-cleaning toilet, or a shower that is programmed to save your favourite water temperature for the next time you use it? To us, they’re a modern bathroom must-have.

  • Marble Modern Bathroom

You can’t have a modern bathroom without a touch of Marble. Marble Is a soft stone, that’s very absorbent.

Due to its absorbent nature, it’s the ideal material to use in a space where there’s lots of condensation. Not only is it a practical option for a bathroom but also looks fabulous.

Marble was famously used for Roman baths and has been used in bathrooms since. Its gorgeous aesthetic brings a touch of elegance and softness along with a monochromatic feel, for a timeless modern bathroom décor.

  • Wet Rooms

A wet room is a showering area designed to be left open. Instead of having a closed shower enclosure, its open design creates the illusion of space, perfect for small spaces.

The wet room revolves around the shower head or the shower set. Usually, you would find that most people opt for wall-mounted or ceiling shower heads.

Don’t forget that with a wet room, a gradient would have to be created on the floor to channel the water into a drain and the room would have to be completely waterproofed to avoid leaks.

Their contemporary style helps to keep the interior seamless. It’s ideal for those that love an ultra-modern look and require a shower room.

  • A Family Modern Suite

Modern family bathrooms should have two things, in order for them to be a success. They require plenty of storage and a shower bath.

Be savvy with furniture that includes storage, pieces like mirrors cabinet, vanity units, and shelves.

If you have a growing family, it’s essential to have plenty of storage without cluttering your bathroom space.

Use your vanity units for the bits you need easy access to, i.e. shampoos & conditioners. Leave the other bits to be stored on open ladder shelving or the very popular wall-hung baskets.

For busy homes, having either or, isn’t an option when it comes to baths and showers. Not only will having a bath shower be a positive factor when it comes it selling your home, but they’re also great for families.

Having a bath option is great for bathing babies and small children and the shower is perfect for the adults of the home.

  • Compact Spaces

If like many of us, your bathroom is on the smaller size, why not consider the following:

  • Use big mirrors, they will give the illusion of more space
  • Stick to the lighter tones of the colour spectrum
  • Avoid chunky furniture and opt for streamline wall hung units & toilet
  • Opt for plain glass shower doors to keep the space open & clear
  • Swap your door for a sliding door

Plus, for especially smaller bathroom areas such as downstairs cloakrooms, there is the chance to invest in the likes of cloakroom furniture sets to maximize room.

  • Contemporary Tiles

As you know, there are so many wall tile options available. Tiles come in all shapes, sizes, colours, and patterns, it can get a little overwhelming.

Tiling can be made cheaper by purchasing larger floor tiles – doing this means you need fewer tiles and should minimise the cost.

Remember to have fun with your bathroom tiles. It’s a great way to add texture, colour and personality.

  • Grid Designs

Grid showers are one of the newer bathroom trends. With digitally printed grid pattern for added depth to your modern bathroom design, as well as, a splash of industrial style.

They work beautifully in black and white bathrooms, the monotone scheme is a timeless classic.

  • Lighting

Bathroom lighting is always seen as the least important aspect of a bathroom but, we believe your choice of lights is just as important as any other aspect of the room.

There’s, no point in revamping or renovating your bathroom, en-suite or cloakroom and leaving an old, rusty light in.

  • Wall-hung Features

For a modern bathroom, wall-hung features should be considered. They look great, add interest and eliminate the cluttered and overcrowded effect of standard bathroom furniture, which takes up unnecessary floor space and therefore makes the bathroom less spacious.

By installing a wall-hung vanity unit, you can be assured of a streamlined aesthetic. Their style is undeniably sleeker than the average vanity unit.

Keep your furniture harmonised with a wall-mounted toilet. Again, the wall-hung design means space will be saved, plus, because the bowl doesn’t touch the floor, they’re far easier to keep clean.

  • Spa-inspired Baths

There are not many things quite as relaxing as a long soak in a bathtub. That is of course unless you’re having a long soak in a freestanding tub. The oval modern bathtubs have been designed and created with the spa experience in mind.

Sculpted to be curvaceous and comfy for the ultimate bathing experience. We would only recommend a modern freestanding tub in larger bathroom spaces. Even though they are available in an array of sizes, you don’t want to over-crowd your room.

  • Modern Vertical Radiators

Many people ask what the difference is between installing a heated towel rail and a radiator in your bathroom. Despite the obvious, and one is designed to hold towels, the main difference is radiators give out more heat.

So, if you’re more bothered about a cosy warm bathroom than toastie towels, a vertical rad might be the option for you. Not only that but, their vertical design is fabulous for injecting a touch of contemporary flare into your space.

  • Modern Bathroom Wallpaper

Modern bathroom wallpaper is becoming increasingly popular in contemporary homes. With tiles being on the more expensive side, wallpaper can be a more cost-effective option.

Always remember when choosing wallpaper for your bathroom or feature wall, that it has to be a special kind to withstand the high levels of moisture – this tends to be why more people opt for wallpaper in their downstairs loo, as it’s the bathroom without a shower and therefore less moist.

  • Contemporary Spa Space

Nothing says a modern bathroom, quite like a home spa.

Why not try and replicate your favourite spa features at home? Here’s how we would create a spa space:

Use plenty of natural materials such as wooden panels, stone walls, or stone effect tiles. Natural materials are great for maintaining positive well-being and a sense of tranquillity.

Secondly, make sure you either have a walk-in shower with body jets, or a gorgeous oval freestanding bathtub. The walk-in shower will give your space an open-plan feel, similar to a spa. The body jets are there to enhance your shower experience, with their added pressure and water penetration.

Lastly, make sure your bathroom is filled with candles, oils, soaps, and anything that smells spa-worthy.

Top Tip * Always include incense burners when bathing, we recommend a lavender scent, for a great night’s sleep.

  • Quadrant Showers For A Modern Touch

Modern Quadrant showers are the perfect option for bathrooms that need to save space. They’re a great alternative to the standard square tray showers.

The quadrant shape means this gorgeous shower enclosure can fit in even the most awkward of spaces such as en-suites.

With a curved front, the quadrant shower enclosure usually comes with a sliding or hinged door, to augment the rounded design.

  • Black Shower Heads

Black showers look magnificent. They inject an effortlessly chic feel into any showering space. Why not leave chrome behind and update your shower set for bold matt black?

  • Shower Jets

Body Shower Jets will bring your showering experience to a new level of relaxation. The jets offer a powerful, re-energising wash every time you shower. The water temperature and pressure can be changed to suit your ideal preference.

  • Countertop Basin

Countertop basins are one of the newest modern bathroom concepts. These modern basins have peaked in popularity over the last 12 months.

Available in almost any desired shape, including, round, square, rectangle, love heart, and every other shape you can think of, making it easy for you to achieve a bespoke bathroom look.

  • Modern Taps

You can’t create a gorgeous harmonising space without updating your tap, to one of our ultra-modern designs. Modern taps have mastered the art of striking designs and creating an easy-to-adjust temperature functionality, through mixer technology.

Browse through high rise, mono, mixer, and so many more sleek designs, for a perfect modern space.

  • Modern Accessories

Bathroom accessories play a major role in creating a unique, stylish space. Adding some new decor features, small or large has the ability to change the whole look and feel of your bathroom.

If you have newly renovated your bathroom, cloakroom or en-suite then why not fill empty space with abstract pictures? Abstract art is right on trend and is very popular in Scandinavian designed homes.

Include plants, fake or real, depending on your history of successes with botanicals. Greenery is great for the mind and creating a healthy mindful room.

Another fab way to accessorise is with wicker baskets. Ideal for extra storage and they look gorgeous! It’s a win, win!
