The Modern Bathroom - Trends and Ideas

 The modern bathroom, no doubt, is colorful. And we have enormous possibilities for choice between designs and materials - have a look at just two of my photos from the latest Salone del Mobile:

If I had to design a bathroom for myself today, I would use probably this corner bath tub:

In addition to its elegant lines it also seems to be the most comfortable and easy to use, in combination with the same INDIGO taps, towel warmer Rigo and these tiles:

But, on the other hand I like a lot the modern trend for more color and texture, which most often brings also coziness in any interior, including bathrooms:

How do you like this brave use of different materials and colors? 

There is another modern trend for more use of travertine in interior designs:

This is the second bathroom in a house at the Black Sea coast I did

The main bathroom in this project, where we used travertine tiles on the walls

Can you see how natural light enhances the colorsand textures in this bathroom? I would be happy to use it every day :) It has another trend implemented, too - the one for rounded forms, which started a few years ago and now we see it everywhere.

But what impressed me more are the cozy outside areas:

All Things Concrete

Concrete is a trendy material our days - we see it everywhere - even on the table, as wallpaper, as lighting. If you want to be trendy and buy yourself something inspiring made of concrete, here below is my selection of things that I myself would use with pleasure in my interior design projects:

We Are Well Made Concrete Bench #2

Did you find your inspiration?

This is my sofa!

Created by Janne Kyttanen - a Finnish designer and conceptual artist, best known for his pioneering work with design for 3D printing, it unifies the most important trends in design for the last several years:
- the copper trend: it is coated in high polish copper and chrome;
- 3D printing:  it is the largest and most complex end use product ever made using a 3D Systems ProX 950, one of the largest format 3D printers available today (MOCO LOCO).
And weighing in at only 2.5 kilos, it is so practical and elegant!

Urban Rough Luxury

Style and comfort - that is in two words the description of this charming eclectic modern loft. But I cannot stop thinking also of the popular in the last sevral years Rough Lux trend. Still, it is very modern and elegant with tastefully chosen bold accents all of which have definite practical function:

You see how well-thought is every small detail and how well used is the available space and its characteristics:
I saw this loft at Desire to inspire where the designers of the loft,The New Design Project, are described as "an Anglo-French husband and wife team of ex-bankers?"  - I wish all bankers had this attitude to design :) The truth is that  Fanny Abbes, the female part of the team is A graduate of New York City's renowned Parsons School of Design.

I am so impressed by the clever use of diverse elements and their perfect coordination - I would love to live there. The space is light, cozy, warm and modern.

'Copper everywhere' trend

This is one of the most clearly visible modern trends in interior design - copper everywhere. Today I saw it even on a chair and a table:

Mammamia - design Marcello Ziliani with gold, copper, silver and gold leaf. I choose the copper one :) What about you?

High Design by Masters

It is always interesting to look inside the homes of celebrities, but for me - and may be for you, too - its is even more interesting to look inside the homes of the masters of interior design who know very well how to do it. I am curious to see their choices, but also I am eager to see their approach and borrow ideas. Get inspired from some of the pictures that photographer Leslie Williamson published in new book, “Modern Originals: At Home With Midcentury European Designers” and shared by T Magazine:

Beautiful, isn't it?
