A modern bathroom has less to do with following current trends and more with incorporating set qualities to create a particular ambiance. Generally, modern design elements include geometrical shapes, neutral or basic colors, heavy use of natural materials, and minimal decorative elements.
For modern small bathroom designs, the emphasis is on functionality, from the vanity to the medicine cabinet. The goal is to make the space stylish and completely functional for daily use. Get inspired by our list of modern bathroom designs below.
