Some people love traditional bathrooms complete with a claw foot tub, pedestal sink and fabulous antique vanity mirrors . For others, only the most modern of bathrooms will do. It used to be difficult to find fixtures and accessories for more modern bathrooms, but this is not longer the case. Finding features to include in your modern bathroom is easier than ever before. Whatever look you are going for, you will be able to find sinks, vanity mirrors and other items that will suit your taste – and budget - perfectly. Here are a few tips for your modern bathroom.

1. Function First Obviously, function in this room is extremely important, but that doesn’t mean you must sacrifice style. You aren’t looking to reinvent the wheel, just to give it a little updating. Instead of a typical round or square vanity mirror, look for more modern bathroom mirror in asymmetrical shapes and frames that have been finished with unique colors and textures.

2. Clean Lines The bathroom is perhaps the best room in the house to show off your love for clean lines. Choose tubs, sinks, cabinetry and accessories that are simpler in style. Keep accessories (and clutter) to a bare minimum.

3. Think Outside the Box For example, who says a toilet is supposed to look like, well, a toilet? There are modern takes on this most important bathroom feature. Some appear to be a simple square box; others are completed in metal finishes instead of the typical porcelain.

4. Touches of Nature Beautiful accents for your modern bathroom can be found in nature. Consider the interesting shape of a tree branch placed in a glass vase or some uniform looking flowers placed in a row on a shelf or vanity. For added depth, place the row of flowers in front of a bathroom wall mirror . These special touches will add warmth and interest to the room without compromising the modern décor.

5. The Best of What’s New Another great thing about having a modern bathroom is that you can incorporate the latest technology without disrupting your décor . From energy saving towel warmers to television screens embedded in wall mirrors, you can easily have a techie bathroom without the elements looking out of place.

Your modern bathroom doesn’t have to appear stark and cold. With proper planning and a little imagination, you can have the modern look you want and the comfortable inviting look you need.
