A Summary of Modern Décor
Put simply, modern décor is about combining trends with practicality. Avoid excess, but don’t neglect your personal taste. Your décor should complement, not compete, with itself. While you don’t need to stray away from color altogether, be selective about pops of statement shades. Consider adding trending tones like Pantone’s Very Peri, or a cool green from Behr’s 2022 color palette. Warm neutrals are ultra-popular this coming year, so consider warming up your bathroom with sandy hues. Make sure your décor is cohesive overall, and experiment with simple upgrades
Expert Tips
We’ve compiled a list of advice from our resident designer, Elimar Lobo Sáenz, on how to maintain a modern bathroom in 2022:
-Consider copper finishes. This metallic trend has surpassed both gold and silver in popularity. Copper can work for faucets, frames, vases, and more.
-Regard the bathroom as a serene, peaceful, personal space. Don’t neglect such a crucial area of your interior. Aesthetically, it can play a major role in setting the tone for the rest of your home.
-Don’t underestimate the power of a statement piece of wall art for a touch of personality. A gallery wall is also a stylish option.
-Avoid pieces that are solely for aesthetic value. Modernism is all about blending style with functionality.
-Don’t try to incorporate too many trends at once. Less is more when it comes to contemporary décor.
-While stone and marble are stunningly modern, they aren’t the only materials that can enhance a modern space. Use lighting to create a luxurious look. You can also experiment with greenery and natural details for a spa-like appearance.

Small Modern Bathroom Ideas
Even if your bathroom is compact, that doesn’t mean you can’t add a splash of style! A small bathroom is the perfect opportunity to get creative with your décor. First, make sure all of your décor matches in a similar theme. For example, transfer your toiletries to minimalist containers that look unified. Stick to neutrals with your accessories, and choose a cool-toned base for a subtle contrast. Don’t overdo it with your décor and risk overcrowding, but make sure to include a few hints of personality to avoid a sterile space. Don’t forget the power of mirrors in creating a larger-looking room.

Cool & Contemporary Bathroom Ideas
Creating cool, calm bathroom doesn’t mean you have to stick to cool colors, literally. Warm woods are super-hot for 2022, and they’re a great way to incorporate the popular “Japandi” trend. Mix Scandinavian and Japanese minimalism for a multi-cultural marvel. Add to the eclectic (albeit sleek and simple) look with one of our popular Mandala prints. This unique combo is proof that you don’t need to stick to one style to achieve a contemporary look. Dare to get creative and explore a wide variety of influences.

Minimalist Modern Bathroom Ideas
Speaking of minimalism and Japanese decor, choose an Eastern approach for a truly tranquil space. If mixing trends and styles is overwhelming, you can’t go wrong with an East Asian-inspired space. Focus on symmetry and balance, as well as light, bright wood tones. Hang a minimalist print with a black and white brushstroke for a pop of décor that stays true to the theme. Roll up your towels for a designer look, and experiment with matte black finishes for a 2022 touch.

Bathroom Décor Considerations
The main consideration when creating a contemporary bathroom should be to keep your space looking clean. While cleanliness is important in every room, it’s most important in the bathroom. This space should look spotless and feel meticulously detailed. Keep surfaces as clear as possible, and choose finishes that are forgiving when it comes to stains. Indoor greenery works as a natural air purifier, and it can enhance the look of a well-organized space. Make sure to hide anything with loud labels or non-aesthetically pleasing designs, and only display the bare minimum. Avoiding cluttered countertops and shelves will also make your physical cleaning process much easier.
