Modern Master Bathroom Ideas

Install a vessel sink in a modern master bathroom.

Many homes feature master bedroom suites with an attached master bath. The master bathroom may have special features, like a soaking tub or separate shower or commode. If you're in the process of redesigning your master bath, pick a style that reflects your personal taste. If you have a flare for the modern, there are many ways that you can infuse this design style into your bathroom to make it a luxurious haven.

Sinks

It is likely that your master bathroom is being shared by you and your significant other. In order to accommodate both of your needs and to avoid stumbling over one another, have two sinks installed in the bathroom. These sinks can be on separate vanities or on a shared vanity. Choose a sink that creates a modern look for the space. Vessel sinks are a great option for a contemporary look. To get a truly modern feeling, opt for vessel sinks made of glass, stone or pottery. Add to the modern look by having a wall-mounted or waterfall faucet installed instead.

Built-In Cabinetry

Have built-in cabinetry installed. Pick a vanity and wall cabinets that are made of dark wood and feature clean lines. To achieve a modern look, avoid handles on doors, or if you prefer having handles, use handles that are straight, sleek and silver. Consider having a few cabinets that feature frosted glass to add interest to the cabinetry.

Shower

If you have the space for it, consider having a walk-in shower installed. These showers don't have a frame or a door, allowing you to walk right into it. If you are going with a walk-in shower, have two shower heads installed to accommodate both you and your partner.

If a walk-in shower isn't an option, have a curved wall of glass blocks installed to act as the shower's protective barrier. Another option is a spa shower, complete with a rainfall shower head and jets along the walls of the unit to provide you with the ultimate shower experience.

Audio-Visual Equipment

To turn your master bathroom into an ultimate modern retreat, incorporate audio-visual equipment into the space. Have speakers installed in the ceiling that hook up to an iPod dock so you can play your favorite tunes while getting ready for or unwinding from your day. A flat-panel television suspended on a wall will allow you to catch up on your favorite shows while you're relaxing or catch up on the news while you're preparing for the day.
