Remodeling your bathroom can be a really fun and exciting DIY project. It’s a great place to display your personal style as the selection of vanities, mirrors, and light fixtures have grown significantly in the past few years, particularly the online shopping selection. You can explore color, textures, and patterns. Bathroom style ranges from traditional themes of rest and relaxation all the way to sleek contemporary expressions with a contemporary bathroom vanity. There are so many different ways to express your style through your bathroom decor.

Go beyond the walls and the choice of pattern on the floor tiles and explore the multitude of bathroom vanities, consider a walk-in shower with a built in steam function inside. If you can envision it, you can find designers and contractors who can make it happen. You are only limited by your own imagination.

Bathroom vanities have become canvases for decorating. Generally, a bathroom vanity consists of a cabinet or chest of drawers with a countertop and sink, faucet, and mirror. Shop for vanities by style to ensure that you narrow your search results to the look that you are trying to establish in your room. 

When creating a new fresh style for your bathroom, start with the vanity and work out from there. The vanity is the focal point for the style, once you have one picked out then choose a mirror that coordinates well, but does not overpower. Same idea with the light fixtures. Consider sconce lighting on each side of the mirror. From there choose small accents that coordinate nicely with all of the larger pieces in the room. You want all of your pieces to play off of each other, not necessarily to match exactly.

 Whether you’re going for a minimalist feel, an earthy look or a bright affair in a combination of colors, you are sure to find decorative elements and accents that fit your theme. Vessel sinks are available in glass, granite, marble, ceramic, and even wood. A vessel sink vanity can be a great way to bring an up-to-date look to your room in one simple step. Combined the sink with a vanity surface of the same material, the visual effect is fantastic and relatively inexpensive. 

If you are really looking to simplify, you can shop for bathroom vanity sets. Solo sets are comprised of the sink, countertop, and a cabinet for storage. These are perfect for mixing and matching with existing bathroom pieces or new hardware. Vanity sets consist of the vanity, the faucet and hardware, and the mirror. This gives you a near-complete look right off the bat. Some vanities come specially made for a specific kind of sink, like those made for vessel sinks and those that accommodate the traditional sink shapes. So read all of the details to make sure you get exactly what you want.

Contemporary bathroom vanities are the ideal solution for developing a modern feel in your bathroom. They easily improve the aesthetic appeal and style of the space. These vanities are available in a great mix of countertops and storage systems, making them great for your daily routine. Shop online and choose from a wide range of styles, models, sizes, colors, and shapes.

Often times the highlight of a contemporary bathroom vanity is the sink and faucet because they embody the emphasis of modern design. The next item to consider is the mirror, if the vanity you choose does not come with a matching mirror, be sure to look for one that coordinates well without taking away from the vanity. There are several types of modern vanity mirrors available today.

Modern bathroom vanities are typically designed with sleek and clean lines, almost minimalist. Choose a vanity that will allow you to conceal clutter and keep all your items organized without compromising the overall space of the bathroom. Most modern vanities already come with cabinets and drawers with trim or even built-in pulls. All of this is why contemporary styles are great for small rooms.

If you are working with a small bathroom, consider a frameless mirror to go with your new vanity. This will help the mirror to refract light, which assists in making the space appear larger. Frameless mirrors are also very affordable, so if you’re on a budget, this is certainly a very good option. If you want to combine some flair with your frameless mirror, look into fun shapes. Common contemporary shapes are square, round, and oval. Usually, sinks with countertops do well with square mirrors. If you have just the sink, such as a pedestal sink, it will look nice with a round or oval mirror.

Once you have your vanity and mirror picked out, it’s time to move on to lighting. Some modern vanities have lighting fixtures built into them, if you are looking to simplify the project, then this is a good option for you. A new trend for a contemporary look is to put a matching set of sconces on either side of the mirror. You’ll find that with modern styles the light fixtures are selected for both their form and their function.

Complete your look by adding small modern accents like a toothbrush holder, water glass, and soap dish. And always remember that with any home remodel project, safety is the number one priority.
