A few of my favorite modern primary bathroom designs
Here’s a diverse collection of modern and contemporary primary bathroom design ideas.
Here’s a great example of a contemporary primary bathroom with a large glass walk-in shower, double sink vanity, large white space, and tub. Large is the current trend with today’s en suites. We love all the windows too, which isn’t too common for bathrooms.
Rustic meets modern in this primary bathroom with the rustic wood wall, round mirror, and then the modern cabinetry and ultra-modern trough-style basin.
Here’s an example of a house where the attic was turned into a primary suite which includes a renovated attic primary bathroom that is totally contemporary in design with its walk-in shower, freestanding white tub and of course those fabulous skylights, which really make the place look great. This is a great example of building a bathroom in an unconventional space while holding on to its unique characteristics.
This style of the primary bath is very common today with the gray and white tile floor, freestanding white tub, white vanity with a black surface and full glass walk-in shower (very large).
This is a smaller modern primary bathroom with a floating white vanity, small tub, floating toilet and small glass shower with gray tile floor and white tile walls. The wall-mounted metal heated towel rack is a very nice touch.
Here’s another example of a small primary bathroom in contemporary design.
Spacious primary bathroom with more storage than most kitchens, which is doubling as a dressing room. I think white flooring would be a better fit here, but those cabinets are amazing.
Here’s another view of the contemporary bathroom above.
This is a great example of a modern Asian style primary bathroom with dark textured wood, square vessel basin, and dark brown tile throughout. The Asian element truly brings a sense of personality to the bathroom.
Here’s a renovated primary bathroom that is gray, brown and white. We absolutely love the skylight and the gray shower color scheme. Though we are not so big on the use of the color brown here, but the layout is really great.
A fabulous wood-framed walk-in shower is the star of this primary bath that includes two entry points. Wooden paneling can accentuate a bathroom’s look if utilized correctly.
A modern primary bathroom is the 4th most popular of the analyzed bathrooms, with the design taking over 12.43%, or 135,654, of the 1,091,335 bathrooms. It comes in behind contemporary, traditional, and transitional, respectively.
Modern bathrooms tend to focus on the look of the mid-century, using sharp, sleek lines with a creative mix of geometric patterns. Features, like sinks and faucets, tend to be angular in shape and the overall design tends to have a clean, uncluttered vibe.
This design also focuses on a minimalist feel, making it a good choice for both large bathrooms and small bathrooms. Many people like this design choice because you can easily blend different materials, like porcelain, stone, and wood, and still create a seamless design.
