The bathroom is not only the place where we go to do our business and get ready for the day – it has become much more than that. It is now a space to find refuge, to get a quiet couple of minutes, to savour a long, hot shower and do some pampering, or read a new book in deep, enveloping bath.

The demand for function and beautiful bathroom style choices has been around for a while, but has perhaps been exacerbated by cultural circumstances over the past few years. Now it makes sense to have a bathroom haven with a relaxing fashion in our home that still provides us with the essentials.

This piece is going to take a look at those functional and beautiful bathroom style choices, so you can upgrade your bathroom with a design that is right for you.

·      Modern Design

Starting off with perhaps the most common of bathroom designs, the modern style is a functional classic which is beautiful in its own right. With its crisp clean lines, neutral colour palettes, streamlined lighting, and floating features, the modern design will give your bathroom a luxury hotel feel. The functional side of a modern design is fantastic for those who need a lot of storage as much of it can be built into the bathroom itself and remain undetectable until you need to open the cupboard door. This can offer you a visually compelling bathroom while allowing you to keep everything you need in there and out of sight.

·      Contemporary Design

Another functional yet beautiful design that works well together is a contemporary design. Some may say it is a little more visually interesting than a modern style but comes with all of its benefits!
There can be a little more pattern and a little more pizazz, but it also sticks to a minimalist design. Think glass shower enclosures, statement or clean porcelain tiles, and sleek accessories such as slim mirrors. Contemporary design can also have technology incorporated, making that functional side pop.

·      Mediterranean Design

The Mediterranean design is a beautiful yet functional bathroom style that focuses more on the natural elements to inspire and is a classic look that has remained timeless. While there are contemporary finishings, there is also a lot more flair. Expect to see ornate lighting, whitewashed walls, rustic materials such as stone, wood, and brick, and elegant touches with accessories such as statement mirrors, soap dispensers and glasses.

This style is favoured by many who love the timelessness of contemporary style but want to add a little more personality and elegant luxury into the mix. Inspired by being close to the sea, sand, and sun, this bathroom design is a beautiful ‘holiday away home’ style while still offering you everything you could need day to day and minimal fuss.

The bathroom is one of the most essential rooms of the house, so it only makes sense that you want to get it right. If you are stuck, these 3 choices of styles will not steer you wrong!
