Elegant Modern Bathroom Design Plan

Today I’m sharing a fun project of mine – a Design Plan for an Elegant Modern Bathroom.  You may have seen in this post that I recently completed an Interior Design course.  I put in so many hours to design various rooms, and the results were worth it!  So I thought it would be fun to share my designs with you for free! 

Elegant Modern Design Plans

This is the first post I’ll be sharing for an Elegant-Modern home, so be sure to check back for the others as well!  I will also be sharing a bedroom, living room, entry and dining room in this style.

I will be going through all the elements in more detail below, but here is a master list for all image sources.  I’m providing links to the sources for your convenience; they are not affiliate links.

Small Bathroom Floor Plan

We were given a small floor plan for this project.  The bathroom’s size is only 2 x 2m, and the budget was tiny.  I had to design a bathroom for a teenage girl, but the elements I’ve used can be applied to a larger master bathroom as well.  Take a look at the floor plan I came up with.  For the small space, it is still a functional space with enough room to move and open shower doors and cabinet drawers.

Walls and Floors for an Elegant Modern Bathroom

Don’t be scared to create contrast, even in a small bathroom.  My inspiration image uses a dark blue colour on the walls above white subway tiles.  I opted for a medium green-grey colour on the two walls with subway tiles and an off-white for the remaining walls.  The floors will be tiled with large-format light grey tiles.

  1. Create contrast by painting a darker colour above the subway tiles.
  2. Plascon Frozen Limeade – I love to use this colour in my home as well. We painted our wall tiles in the kitchen with Frozen Limeade. It is white with just a tint of green. I would paint two of the four walls with this colour. It also looks stunning next to pure white.
  3. Plascon Fynbos Leaf is the colour I chose to use above the white subway tiles.
  4. Use Light Grey porcelain tiles for the floor. Use large format tiles to minimise grout lines – it will make the floor in a small bathroom look cleaner and more spacious.
  5. Glossy white bevelled subway tiles.

Sanitary Fittings

The bathroom only has space for a shower, and I would, therefore, use glass shower partitioning to open the space up.  A pentagonal shower enclosure is perfect for a small space.  A wall-mounted basin and cabinet provide ample storage without adding too much bulk.

  1. Pentagonal Shower with frameless glass panels.
  2. Honey Oak Framed Mirror. I wanted to use light to medium wood tones with the grey and white to keep the space airy.
  3. Honey Oak Wall-mounted basin and cabinet. This sleek and modern vanity cabinet provides enough storage for bathroom essentials. The wall-mounted design is perfect for a small room.

Bathroom Accessories

This is the fun part – when you give yourself a neutral palette to work with, you can explore quite a few options when it comes to accessories.  Add botanical art in understated frames and balance the greens with succulents in rose-gold planters.  Use Chrome taps and towel rails with a brushed nickel light fitting. 

My friend Martina from The Lived-in Look also just wrote a post about how to mix metals in a bathroom – it is worth a read! 

And lastly, add texture with baskets and bamboo blinds.  I would keep the towels white for this small elegant modern bathroom but add a fun patterned bath mat.

  2. Elegant Brushed Nickel Vanity Light
  3. Succulents in Rose Gold pots – you can use faux or real ones.
  4. Natural woven baskets for laundry or bathroom supplies
  5. Chrome taps and accessories.
  6. I also added a fun zig-zag patterned bath mat.

Interior Elevations

I’ve also drawn up the interior elevations of the bathroom so you can see how it all comes together.  I love drawing these elevations as you can get a good idea of how the elements will look in the room.
