Cheap bathroom makeovers do not have to be plain or unattractive. The concept of a sleek, contemporary bathroom is gaining buzz and is a simple way to transform your bath into a sophisticated and stylish space. As you work with the experts at Southshore to create your lovely and affordable contemporary bath, here are a few design ideas for you to consider.

Create Lines

Contemporary design consists of straight lines and simple silhouettes. Lines can easily be achieved through the installation of wall mounted cabinetry that is uniform with the cabinets of your bathroom vanity. Rectangular mirrors are a must as square shapes are preferred over curvature in traditional contemporary style. One large mirror over your vanity will look lovely. If you prefer, a series of smaller, symmetrically placed square mirrors which will also create lined space.

Flooring

As you plan the flooring design for your contemporary bathroom, you will once again want to keep lines in mind. The use of large tiles is very popular and attractive for this style of bathroom. Whether you prefer uniform and symmetrical tiles, or interesting geometrical patterns, big tiles are both affordable and aesthetically pleasing.

Lighting

The fixtures that you choose for your contemporary bath should provide bright lighting to the space. Crisp illumination will add to the sleek and fresh look of your bathroom. Utilize chrome or metallic lighting fixtures for sophistication. If you desire dimmers for atmosphere, consider having accent lights installed on the wall.

Bath Fixtures

A contemporary bathroom is perfect for homeowners planning cheap bathroom makeovers. This is because everything, including your bath fixtures, should be as simple as possible. A sleek and rectangular bathtub or shower enclosures will tie the room together. Make use of metallic faucet fixtures to keep everything looking fresh.

Colors

Tie the whole room together with the color scheme that you choose. Contemporary bathrooms are suited well for monotones which will give the space a smart and clean look. Black is a very popular choice for contemporary rooms. Combining bright and darker hues of the same color palette will bring energy to the room, whereas the use of neutral tones will create a warm and soothing atmosphere. Work with your professional to determine which colors will work best with your renovation.
