3 Musts And 27 Ideas To Get A Practical Bathroom
You don’t need to invest a lot of money to make your bathroom look stylish and make it functional. There are some simple tips and ideas that are useful for any bathroom and that help making it chic-looking and practical at the same time. I’ve chosen three ideas that may help you get the best result and enjoy an amazing bathroom for a long time without any renovations, these are tiles, open shelving and organizers. Let’s have a look at them.
Use Tiles
Yes, there are a lot of materials to clad your bathroom with: stone, wood, plastic and so on. You may make wooden floors, or clad the whole space with it – it’s a hot trend, add stone accents but nothing works better than tiles. If we take the correlation between the look, functionality and price, tiles are the best idea. They are durable, water and scratch-resistant unlike wood, they won’t cost a lot unlike real marble or some kinds of stone. Besides, tiles are timeless, they will never go out of style and there are tons of kids, shapes and looks to choose from – you’ll definitely find something. Tiles are very easy to maintain – just wash them, and that’s it, and renovate the grout if necessary.
choose various kinds of tiles that work nice together and catch an eye
tiles are timeless, especially geometric or subway ones like here
black tiles on the floor and geomtric ones for an acent wall in the shower
tiles are a great option, which is water-resistant, and that is important for dump spaces like a bathroom
tiles needn't be boring, make a colorful mismatching mosaics
there are lots of colors to try, and you'll definitely find something proper
try trendy options like penny tiles to get an edgy look
Open Shelving
There’s nothing better than open shelving for a bathroom because such shelves don’t look bulky and can accommodate a lot of things. As bathrooms are usually small, open shelves are ideal as they don’t look heavy, an airy feel will be kept in its place. You can make wall-mounted open shelving, floor shelving units, usual, floating or box-shaped ones.
Your vanity if it’s a large one, can include some open shelving too – you can place several tiers of shelves under the vanity countertop, and you may place open built-ins next to the shower or bathtub.

neutral box shelves are perfectly matching the rest of the space
light-colored wooden box and open shelving add a warm touch to the bathroom

Organizers
Use organizers to make your bathroom more organized and stylish, to avoid clutter, which is important for any small space (though a large too).
There are different kinds of organizers, and if you have enough space, get a two or three-tiered stand to put on a vanity, on a bathtub edge or on the floor. Such a stand can have any look and colors you want, and if you can’t find a proper one, you can DIY it easily. You may also use an IKEA kitchen cart as an organizer, or use a small shelf for storage – attach it over the sink, and that’s it.

Modern bathroom design through solidity
Bathroom interior in 2022 is primarily a monolithic layout without dark corners and hard-to-reach places.
The main idea of modern bathroom design is a holistic appearance, as if the bathroom is carved from a single piece of stone. If now it seems abstract, then by the end of the material you will clearly understand how to make a beautiful and modern bathroom interior :
- No dark corners
- No gaps
- The floor is as unloaded as possible
- Everything that is possible is built in
- All items hidden from prying eyes
The following is an explanation with examples of real photos, but mostly from expensive fashionable bathrooms. Be sure to read more mundane materials:
- Small bathroom design - 9 rules
- 4 sqm bathroom with washing machine and toilet - 80+ placement examples
Here is a bathroom with expensive fixtures, but would you call such a design modern?
No.
Just because there is no such solidity here. And here is:
Now let's take a closer look at how this idea is implemented in practice.
1. Countertop instead of conventional washbasin
Conventional washbasins are used less and less in modern bathrooms. Their fixed size does not allow them to be built in without gaps. The gaps between the sink and the bathroom or wall greatly reduce the cost of the appearance. Built-in or overhead bowls are used instead of conventional sinks to create perfect seams.
The top itself is made of drywall (tiled or mosaic), chipboard or acrylic. Because this design is made by hand, you can achieve perfect joints. We are not tied to standard sizes, but the cabinet will also have to be made to order.
In the photo below, look only at the countertops and the washbasin, more about the faucets.
2.
Modern built-in mixers This item is not worth 2. A sink built into the countertop + a cool faucet is critical and raises the level of the bathroom interior to a fundamentally different level.
It's like the difference between an old floor-standing toilet and a wall-hung toilet with an installation - it's worth the extra money.
Yes, built-in faucets are more expensive, but they take bathroom design to the next level.
Cleaning Bonus:
- When the faucet is in the wall, chrome remains chrome. I think many people living in areas where water contains salts know how quickly ordinary faucets lose their appearance.
- Dirt and yellow water stains constantly accumulate around the common ones at the point of contact with the sink, which are inconvenient to clean.
Faucet design has also taken a big step forward over the past 5 years, and by 2022 their choice is simply huge. There are also relatively inexpensive built-in ones.
Ordinary ones also come with a beautiful modern design, but you lose the practicality bonus:
Modern finishes - neutral background. And against this neutral background, current sanitary ware and faucets look especially advantageous.
3. Lifting everything from the floor and hanging it
Our eye judges the area of a room by the free floor. More floor means more area. Therefore, the trend of recent years is to hang a cabinet, a closet and a toilet.
Fashion is not always adequate. But the idea of hanging really makes the bathroom beautiful, modern and practical . There is no this dark space under the furniture, under which dirt is constantly clogged, and at the same time it is inconvenient to clean it because of the legs.
If deep textured porcelain stoneware is laid on the floor, then under the cabinet or bathtub you can make LED lighting.
On a textured tile, the light will give shadows and volume - it looks very cool. Floating bath effect:
4. Closed storage areas
2 facts:
- In any bathroom there is a huge amount of shampoos, gels, creams and other toothpastes and brushes.
- All this looks bad and should be hidden.
You can make as cool and modern a renovation as you like, but the eternal mess due to mismatched jars will ruin everything.
Usually, from the storage systems in the bathroom, only drawers in the cabinet. But they are not enough and almost always hygiene products are in sight. The solution is a narrow vertical hanging cabinet. It holds a huge amount of things, while it takes up almost no usable space. Choose a color for the rest of the design - you don’t need the cabinet to stand out. For light - white gloss, for dark - black, gray, wood effect.
5. Replacing the bath with a shower
Don't rush to defend your right to wallow in the bath.
Yes, this is a cool opportunity. But in today's world, time is the most valuable resource. And it is functionally a shower without a chance better than a bath.
If you just think about this question, then the decision to take up space in the bathroom with an extra item that will later waste your time and water does not seem so obvious. Therefore, a bath is only if you are a fan (like me). Otherwise, shower.
We already have a separate material about the design of a bathroom with a shower.
Bathroom interior design ideas for 2022
Fashion is controversial. Especially in the design of bathrooms, where renovations are done for many years. The good news is that now there are impeccably adequate trends in repairs. Interior fashion is not the area where some crazy things and kitsch are at the forefront. Simplicity, natural materials and functionality - it is unlikely that this will soon become irrelevant.
6. No bright unnatural colors finishes
Bright unnatural colors in bathroom finishes are a sure sign of an obsolete renovation. Now nobody does that anymore. Accents and colors are added by decors, accessories and textiles. Even in the bathroom there are towels and rugs, which also have their own colors and all this should be combined.
The main idea: a boring design can always be kept alive with decoration, but an overloaded design cannot be saved.
But this thought, lest you be afraid, is really boring and will not work. If you do not keep this idea in mind, it may turn out to be a collective farm. Balance, integrity, accuracy, naturalness, spaciousness are the main ideas of modern bathroom design. Motley colors, luxury, excessive complexity and impracticality are relics of the past.
Good news and with the question of which ceiling to choose in the bathroom - stretch matte, it has no minuses (almost none).
7. Tiles with imitation of natural materials
Let's finish the walls with glazed colored incomprehensibly what do you think? Sounds so so.
Here are 3 examples. The first photo shows an ultra-modern bathtub, but the tiles spoil everything. Second, everything is outdated. On the third, it seems not so bad, but the tile is unprincipled and unnatural.
What about wood, stone, travertine, marble, metal and concrete? This is exactly what modern tiles should be like - imitating real materials.
About tile design in modern style and how to choose tiles for the bathroom and how to lay out the walls.. Never imagine the final renovation as a bare finish of the room. Visualize immediately the real room, how it will look after the move and the appearance of all things and textiles. Then the probability of overdoing it with the intensity of finishing will decrease.
8. Large tiles
If the previous points are observed and the interior of the bathroom looks holistic, then the rule works:
The larger the tiles, the better and more modern the bathroom design looks.
If the wall is enough for two whole tiles, that's enough. The minimum size from which you can consider is 60 × 20 cm, more is better. The mosaic stands apart.
This also applies to tile joints - they must be in color or gray so as not to crush the plane into patches. There should not be a feeling that the walls of the bathroom are pasted over with separate elements. Everything should look like a natural whole.
9. Combination of gray and wood
The apotheosis of the entire 2nd section is gray and wood. These 2 components are already enough for a beautiful bathroom design. And it's not about color, it's about texture. Veins, knots and gouges on high-quality woodgrain stoneware. The roughness and unevenness of an infinite number of types of gray concrete and stone tiles.
By combining tones of different brightness in different proportions, you can create a bathroom of any modern style:
- Light colors and light wood effect tiles for a Scandinavian style bathroom.
- Darker colors and concrete look - loft bathroom.
- White color and lack of decor - minimalism.
- Ultra-modern plumbing, hidden light, metal and glass - high-tech.
- Marble, freestanding bathtub and expensive Art Deco decor.
By the way, a free-standing bathtub is the only moment where you should not follow fashion. This is a monstrously impractical solution that looks beautiful only in the picture. Many dream in pictures. Not worth it. The bath is overboard, but otherwise the modern renovation ideas are very good.

60 ideas for a bathroom with toilet
The modern interior of the bathroom with toilet is a practical use of space, the functionality of every detail of the furnishings, quality materials and special equipment that meets all norms and standards.

Residents prefer to remove the partition between the bathroom and the toilet in order to get more space for installing the necessary equipment and furniture.
