Some people have a more modern design aesthetic, while others prefer a more classic look. But if you’re a fan of both modern and classic design, we have good news for you—there’s no need to choose! You can incorporate both modern and classic elements into your home design, and that includes your bathroom.
A recent article from realtor.com outlined bathroom design ideas that strike the perfect balance between modern and classic, including:
- Plum-colored checkered floor tiles. There are few things that scream “classic” more than checkered floor tiles. But if you want to add a modern twist, instead of going for the classic black and white combination, go for a more interesting and unexpected color combination, like plum and off-white.
- Bathroom floor runner. If you’re looking for an easy, affordable way to make a modern bathroom feel more classic, try adding a vintage-style floor runner parallel to your vanity, or in front of your bathtub. (Just keep in mind that this trend will pair best with a more plain floor, like hardwoods or plain tile. If your bathroom floor has a pattern, adding a floor runner with an additional pattern could feel visually overwhelming.)
- Sky blue shower tiles. A subway tile shower is about as classic as you can get. But instead of going with a traditional shade (like white or off-white), go with a more on-trend hue to strike that perfect note between modern and classic, like sky blue.
