If your bathroom needs a little pick me up, this is for you because with these 10 tips you can make a huge difference in its overall appearance!
The first consideration is…what kind of design do I prefer? There are lots of design choices, however, if you have your heart set on getting a modern aesthetic it is important to focus on the cabinetry selection first and foremost. But beyond that there are some other crucial considerations, so lets dig in…
Modern Colours & Finishes for Bathroom Cabinets
Modern colours for bathroom cabinets can either go light or dark, create a striking look and yet remain exceptionally versatile, working well with almost any colour and design.
In particular this season, wood tones are a popular choice depending on factors like space, lighting and primary use for the bathroom.
A smaller full-bath would benefit from lighter tones (to make the space seem bigger) while dark tones can give a modest half-bath meant for occasional guests a refined look. In larger spaces, either can work with appropriate lighting and design highlights. Wood tones also add a natural finish.
Grey Tones
Below, a mid to larger sized bathroom, easily accommodates attractive grey cabinetry. Nothing says modern quite like grey bathroom cabinets and it is one of the hottest trends on the design market today.
Grey provides a soft tone, works with any color and adds a sense of sophistication to any environment. Note that in this example, the almost full ceiling height linen towers make great use of space by offering tons of storage without taking up floor space. Beautiful form and function come together here for a classic modern look. The vessel sinks and lighting combination add elegance.

White Tones
The sharp contrast offered by white bathroom cabinets can enhance other features in the room. White cabinets in a solid white bathroom give a clean look, maximize light and combine a classic aesthetic with modern design.
If you are new to the world of designing, white is always a good choice as it never goes out of style, always looks crisp and bright, and remains the #1 choice for homeowners when it comes to bathroom renovations.
Below, see how effectively this white on white bathroom maximizes brightness and openness. By adding mirrors, modern lighting and a white countertop the room seems much bigger than it is.

Dark Bathroom Cabinets
With the correct lighting and wall paint colour, dark bathroom cabinets are strong in design trends right now, although not for everyone.
The key is to mix and match. Below, a dark espresso cabinet is stunning against a white contrasting countertop and glass backsplash. Clean straight lines and simple hardware complete this one of a kind look.
Design Accents for Modern Bathroom Cabinets
Complement your modern bathroom cabinets with sleek, functional accents. Think clean simple lines, brushed metallics and even oversize handles. For larger drawers, handles can maximize space by doubling as a towel rack.
Countertops
Tempting though it is to choose a countertop based on looks alone, a material’s durability, maintenance and, of course, cost are also important factors to consider when making a selection for a bathroom remodel.
Generally speaking, a simple muted pattern is best when thinking modern for the overall look and feel.
Popular Choices
Granite, the top choice in counter tops, is available in a variety of shades such as blacks, whites, greens, corals and beiges, and no two pieces are exactly the same.
Other natural stone materials, like marble, limestone and soapstone, are softer than granite and require delicate use and greater care. All stone counter tops must be sealed periodically.
Engineered stone counter tops come in a wider variety of colors than natural stone counter tops, are more durable and are easy to maintain
Laminate is the most affordable countertop material on the market, one of the most popular and come in an array of colours and designs.
Below, this simple earth toned beige countertop is done in an economical laminate finish. With the selection of up to date faucet and sink accessories the look achieved can still be stunning.
Faucets/Bath Shower Hardware
Choose a faucet and bath/shower hardware that matches the look and feel of your cabinet hardware. Again think sleek and simple, and use brushed or stainless steel. Over sized can often add a wow factor as well .
Remember to keep it light on other accessories in the bathroom for a modern look. Modern is clean, additional accessories are kept to a minimum to enhance the feeling of space and to give the room a clean look. Soap dispensers, soap dishes and free-standing mirrors fit and increase the overall functionality of the space.
Mirrors
Bathroom mirrors follow the straight lines of the modern bathroom and often feature trim that matches the cabinets. Mirrors are also probably one of the most cost effective ways you can give your bathroom an optical illusion of being bigger,
Don’t Forget the Details
Plants, textured tile, stone-work and colour highlights provide additional ways of adding interest and texture to your modern bathroom. Sometimes something as easy as a painted contrast wall or tile can make all the difference from turning your bath space from average to outstanding.

Budget
Bathroom overhauls can be pricey, but did you know there are lots of options out there now to keep prices low while still getting an incredible new bathroom?
A key piece to remember is that it is usually your local bathroom contractor that has the supplies and knowledge that will help you create a bathroom that works for your family within your budget.
