Have you ever returned home from a vacation just wishing that you could bring that fancy, modern hotel bathroom with you? The sleek, fresh, clean presentation of the room made you feel pampered and relaxed. The thought of upgrading your bath may seem an impossible dream, however, the professionals at Southshore are highly skilled in the fine art of luxurious, yet inexpensive bathroom makeovers. Here are a few suggestions for an affordable upgrade to a modern bath.

Color Scheme

For a modern bath, you do not want to go overboard with the colors. A sophisticated look can be created by sticking with two to three colors which will create the atmosphere that you desire. Popular shades are browns, whites, and greens or blues, used to simulate the essence of bamboo or of the beach. To make a bold, yet elegant statement with your space, you may consider black bathroom fixtures and incorporate red through towels, floor mats, etc. As always, Southshore offers acrylic bathtub liners in all colors and patterns which greatly add to inexpensive bathroom makeovers.

Flooring

As you create your modern bath, a sleek look is essential. To achieve this in your flooring, you may consider a laminate coloring or large tiles, depending on the look you are trying to create. With tiles, stick with one solid color that will compliment and tie in with the rest of your bathroom’s color scheme and overall tone. Floor mats and area rugs can be used to incorporate an extra pop of color.

Vanities & Faucets

Modern vanities give you many options for inexpensive bathroom makeovers. Gaining in popularity are gorgeous wall-mounted fixtures, without the traditional cabinetry extending to the floor. Your vanity and sink will look stylish in contrasting colors. For example, a brown or white vanity with a white countertop and sinks will look elegant. High curved faucets in silver or bronze will give a modern touch to your sink fixtures as well. Tie it all together with a large, rectangular mirror over the vanity.

Shower & Tub

For a master bath, the shower and tub are the focal points of the room. Both freestanding and combined elements can look very classy. Glass shower and tub walls will create a sophisticated and modern look as well. Ceiling mounted shower heads can also add a nice touch. Match these fixtures with the color scheme throughout the room, and consider using tiles on the walls surrounding your shower that match with the flooring.

When it comes to inexpensive bathroom makeovers, a modern look will give you many affordable options. Work with the professionals at Southshore to create the sophisticated bathroom of your dream on a budget.
