If you're aiming to design a contemporary looking bathroom, you will want to make an effort to steer clear of the six following features, which professionals say will instantly make the space look dated.
Here, they touch on colors, finishes, and other elements that you are better off avoiding in an effort to ensure that your bathroom appears as sophisticated and stylish as possible.
While all-white bathrooms were most definitely trending at one point in time, they're not so captivating today, Amr Samaha, the founder of Samaha Studio, says. Samaha explains how they can often feel sterile and uninviting.
«The absence of color and texture can make these spaces seem cold and impersonal,» Samaha says.
Alexis Warren, the founder of Alexis Warren Interior Design, shares similar views and says that playing it safe is no longer a bathroom trend and that going vibrant is very much in.
«I am using more wallpaper, bold colors on cabinetry, tile in more fun colors and funky shapes, and handmade zellige tiles are everywhere,» she says.
Plus, keep in mind that even if you're drawn to neutrals, an all-white bathroom isn't the most practical from a maintenance perspective. Samaha explains how even the smallest stain or speck of dirt will stand out to the naked eye.
Skip the all-gray bathrooms, too, Heather French, the founder of French & French Interiors, says. French explains how all-gray bathrooms can feel monochromatic and cold which can lack the warmth and variety people are seeking nowadays.
Brown and beige are also no-nos since they can look bland and uninspired, Samaha says.

For our 2024 Idea House in the Kiawah River community on Johns Island, South Carolina, the natural surroundings proved a generous source of inspiration. This was especially true of the landscape design, notes Scott Parker, the project’s landscape architect and co-founder of Charleston-based DesignWorks. “One of the things that we wanted to do with the landscape and the garden design was really to ground it in the DNA of the Lowcountry,” he says. That meant tailoring their plant selections to mimic the maritime forest that covers parts of the property, as well as choosing more formal ones to reflect Charleston’s long-standing garden traditions.
Lighting isn't always the most intuitive part of decorating a room. But when you do it well, the whole atmosphere can change—it can even boost your home's value.

My husband and I recently moved into our first «adult,» post-college apartment. While our one-bedroom college apartment did the job for a time, it felt more cramped and cluttered the longer we lived in it.
