Contemporary and Functional

Somehow an extremely modern bathroom doesn’t seem likely to also be extremely functional. This bathroom is a noticeable exception.

From the daring color scheme to the clean lines of every element, this bathroom demonstrates the modern look with flair. The curves of the unique tub echo in the vases that hold the only other color, the natural green of a few plants. One other natural element serves to accessorize the room simply – a handful of grey water-rounded stones.

Up-lights above the white rectangular cabinets provide generous and indirect lighting for the entire room. This lets the glossy red flooring shine throughout, actually showing white reflections from the tub and vanity. This room’s use of red dares to make this vivid color the strongest positive element in the room. Black lower shelving/cabinet units step into the background. White alternates background and foreground – background with the upper cabinets and definitely foreground with the tub and sink shouting out against the darker tones.

Here’s the amazing functional element to this bath. Many of the rectangles in this room’s wall design hide storage shelves. Shallow at the bottom and a little deeper above, this room provides a yeoman’s share of storage. Doors with spring locks require no pulls to distract from the clean lines. By using this space rather than just letting the design stand alone, the designer provided a certain look for the bathroom and additional storage that can be useful in the bath and for other storage needs.

The magic in this room come from two sources – the beauty of the design and the thought behind the functionality.
