Luxury and pomp have sunk into oblivion. They were replaced by simplicity and natural beauty. This applies not only to a person’s appearance, but also to modern bathroom design. Experts believe that people lack a quiet environment and peace, and therefore it is vital to create harmony not only within themselves, but also around them.

Popularity of natural materials
Naturalness and naturalness remain at the peak of fashion. This also applies to modern bathroom interiors. Marble, concrete, wood, metal and stone are welcome. Preference is given to the industrial style, so rough plaster on the ceiling and walls is becoming trendy.

Vintage style
Sometimes it’s worth going beyond your own comfort zone, and even more so - well-known patterns in interior design. This project is an excellent confirmation of this. Let's see - a minimalist bathroom in a white and black color scheme would not stand out as anything special if it were not for a retro piece of furniture that adorned the interior with its presence.

Geometry
Straight and clear shapes, lines and figures have become popular this season. They set a special rhythm and captivate with their brevity, ease and simplicity. Thanks to them, absolute harmony is created in the room. The effect of tranquility can be achieved if you follow design techniques:
- Choose tiles with a simple pattern or a strict pattern. Single-color options are suitable;
- Pay attention to the form. It should not be rectangular or square. You can choose other options, but the main condition of the trend is that the tiles should have corners. Do not use round objects under any circumstances.
Simplicity of lines
It is better to avoid rounded shapes. This applies to all items and finishing materials: furniture, sinks, mirrors, tiles, etc.
In a modern bathroom with a toilet, conciseness should be established. This applies not only to impressive spaces, but also to small areas.
Planning and zoning
The bathroom can be a separate room or combined with a toilet. Each option has its positive and negative sides. It is important to zoning the bathroom, then it will be simpler and easier to create a harmonious design.
