Also what is being shown on display or put hidden in a cabinet or droor. Not everything is on display. All these bathroom are considered dream bathrooms from the materials (granite, marble, lighting direct and indirect, flooring, bathtub design and more!
Here’s each area broken down to what makes a dream bathroom and ideas to keep in mind!
Key Aspects of Design
The Sink Area
The Sink area is cleared off and showcases the granite countertop and keeps everything with these clean look. Some of these bathrooms do have hand soap and moisturizer but notice they are not in the original container. They are emptied into bottles that fit the theme with the rest of the bathroom. Everything is connected and has balance even down to the smallest detail! Small details matter! The Containers colors white, black or beige match the bathroom theme!
1 to 5 items on flat Surfaces
Where is the toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, make up, mouth wash, and all? It’s all stored organized in the sink below. Here’s an example of behind the scenes how the bathroom sink looks!

Cantilevered Toilet
Above the toilet is a towel or a textured wall. There isn’t anything above it to allow as much light as possible to come down, and there is designated areas for everything! The towel has a specific towel holder. Extra toilet paper and guest towels are behind closed doors with ease of access and keeps the bathroom looking organized
Large Mirrors
Large mirrors with lighting being them to illuminate that bathroom more and see your face!
How many lights are in a modern bathroom?
The more the better especially if they are lights that can’t be seen directly! Indirect lighting has a magical feel cause you can see the light source and surfaces and textures around seem to glow and it feels really magical!
Let’s do a fun exercise and count how many indirect lights there are in some of these bathrooms. A modern bathroom has usually a minimum of 2 indirect lights and well lit with 3-5 lights on the ceiling. Why? No dark areas for one. Another is it gives the whole place a vibe.
The best kind of lighting indoors after dark is warm light bulbs. Buy light bulbs in the 2,700-3000 Kelvin Range! This mimics the warm light cast by the moon!

Floors
What’s on the floors? Notice how most of the cabinet sinks don’t even touch the floor to keep the floor as visible as possible. Here is an example not even the toilets are on the ground to showcase the beautiful floor work and you can feel every square foot of space by seeing it all! If there is anything on the floor it’s usually a large very clean white bathtub and it needs to be there. You can’t have a huge hovering bathtub. Another reason for keeping things off the floor is the lighting that can be utilized under things such as the sink. If it cantilevers out and it’s low enough ,add light under it to give it the feel it’s floating and lighting the walls and the floor even more! A really great way to make a space more modern is direct and indirect lighting!
Different types of Lighting and where to place them
What’s on the floors? Notice how most of the cabinets the sink are attached to don’t even touch the floor to see the floor! Gold Inlays are also a way to elevate the modern design of your bathroom!
Materials Matter
Materials in your bathroom matter because they set the tone for a truly modern design. Reflective surfaces like glass and polished metal make the room feel open and bright. Marble and granite add a sleek, high-end look that never goes out of style. Dark colors create a bold, dramatic vibe, while light colors keep the space airy and clean. Choosing the right finishes for floors, walls, and countertops enhances both function and beauty. When each material works together, your bathroom feels more contemporary, luxurious, and visually balanced—turning an everyday space into a modern retreat.
