10 Ingredients for a Sleek Bathroom
Modern bathroom design keeps it simple — very, very simple
The goal with super-sleek décor is to keep things very, very simple. The look can be created with the use of organic forms, monochromatic schemes and reducing design to only its necessary elements. If you want to take simplicity to the extreme in your bathroom, read on. You can make a really bold statement with this style.

| 1. Simple silhouettes. A no-fuss approach is imperative. Clean lines and streamlined pieces are the main elements. Stay away from anything with extreme curves or carvings and only use uncomplicated pieces. |

| 2. Monochromatic palette. White, off-white and neutral colors are the rule for a super-sleek bathroom. Repeat this simplicity in your accessories as well. |

3. Bare textures. You can certainly include textures in your sleek bathroom for warmth and style if they stay bare and natural. A concrete wall featuring the lines of a wood plank creates a nature-inspired bathroom that stays true to its minimalist theme.

| 4. Keep wood to a minimum. The use of wood should be limited to pieces that are extremely simple. They can work very well, adding color and texture, as long as they have minimal details or none at all. |

| 5. Elevate storage units. Try to include sleek built-ins to open the space and conceive an area unaffected by disturbance. |

| 6. Sculptural aesthetic. All pieces in your bathroom should evoke the beauty of sculptures, with simple lines and loose curves. The design's form should deliver the least resistance to fluid flow. |

7. Add color with materials, not paint. If you want to add a dramatic flair to your sleek bathroom, choose colored stones for your walls or floor. Here, a marble material called Blue Lighting creates a striking background.
| 8. Keep accessories tamed. Stay away from colorful or texturized accessories. Only include items with similar shapes and colors and place them in a repetitive pattern to create a solid minimalist look. |

9. Plain is good. A completely white bathroom with a super-sleek bathtub and accessories is the pinnacle of the minimalist approach.

Fine Art & Portraits by Laurel Spectacular designs, but the white on whites are just too cold and uninviting. The large freestanding tubs with slanted sides are a dream. I don't understand tubs with straight sides. Who uses these? Again not inviting.
