The bathroom is simply the room where you take a shower, do your business, and get ready for the day, right? Sure, but couldn’t it be so much more? The modern bathroom is not just a redesign – it’s a whole new conception of what the bathroom can be. As modern bathrooms continue to grow in size, so too do the opportunities for using it as a functional space. Here are some of the clever ways people are transforming their modern bathrooms into incredible rooms.
The most important thing a bathroom needs to be is relaxing. What better way to relax than to make the bathroom into a place where you can also lounge? Modern bathrooms have enough space for you to bring in furniture that would otherwise be destined for the living room. A recliner and a love seat don’t look out of place at all once you see them positioned in the middle of a bathroom. Bring in a coffee table and some magazines and you have a place where you can retreat into peaceful quietude. Even if your bathroom doesn’t have enough space for an entire living room set, you can likely fit an armchair in the corner. Even this can add an immense amount of comfort and gives you a place to sit and unwind as your bath fills.
The idea of a vanity with a seat is outdated, but it absolutely beats hunching over the counter to get a good look in the mirror. Modern bathrooms are bringing back this more comfortable vanity-style concept by incorporating ottomans and other comfortable cushions. It makes a world of difference when you can sit down on a soft surface to put on your earrings or tighten your shoes as opposed to – heaven forbid – sitting right on the closed toilet seat. Plus, the design value of adding chairs and sitting areas to your modern bathroom is unbeatable.
Believe it or not, a sitting area in your modern bathroom is absolute luxury. See for yourself by clicking through the entire slideshow in the article below!
