WHITE BATHROOM IDEAS FOR A MODERN DESIGN
White
bathrooms are a staple of modern
residential design. White gives
of the feeling of cleanliness,
purity, and lightness. I am an
architect in New York and owner
of Fontan Architecture. We work
on a variety of project types
including apartment and loft
renovations. All photos in this
post are from our projects in
New York. We will explore the
use of white in bathroom design,
and various white bathroom
ideas.
WHITE PORCELAIN
You
do not have to use marble to
make a white bathroom. Porcelain
is a really popular material for
bathrooms and comes in many
different finishes. Porcelain
tiles can be uniform colors,
have textures, and mimic natural
materials such as marble. Some
of these porcelains look better
than others so as an architect I
always go to the showroom to see
samples especially if they have
large pieces on display. This
bathroom has a white statuary
marble look porcelain tile. It
was installed with tight joints
to make the wall look uniform
and the tiles are oriented
vertically which is a more
modern look.
SCULPTURAL TUB
White and off white bathrooms
can be overly simple. A
sculptural tub can add a bit
extra design to a bathroom. If
the bathroom is large enough you
may want to consider a
freestanding tub which has a
real luxurious feel to it. The
picture below is of an off white
bathroom with a freestanding
sculptural tub.
CLAWFOOT TUB
A claw foot tub is a classical
feature that can actually work
very well in a contemporary or
modern bathroom.
ADD
COLOR
Sometimes the best idea for a
white bathroom is to add some
color. All white with white on
white is not for everyone. If it
is not for you then you should
consider mixing some other
colors into your bathroom
design. The bathroom in this
next picture has white walls, a
white toilet, and a white sink
but also a wood vanity with a
blue mosaic marble floor. Don’t
be afraid of a little contrast.
MATTE WHITE FINISHES
When making an all white
bathroom you may want to use
polished finishes but if not
matte finishes can be a more
subtle option. A matte white
bathroom design can be a great
idea for a simple contemporary
bathroom. This bathroom has
matte white marble tiles, matte
white Corian, white tub, and
white toilet. The tub is an
undermount tub with white Corian
top and removable face panel.
This therapeutic tub required
access panels and due to the
configuration of the apartment
the only place to put access was
in the tub apron, which we made
custom and removable.
MODERN BATHROOM NICHE
A bathroom niche is the ideal
option for a modern bathroom. A
niche can be long and linear or
vertical and full height. In
this bathroom the niche goes
from floor to ceiling in the
shower. It is in the corner with
one wall continuing straight
into the niche.

Standard edges are very common for quartz countertops, and stone countertops in general. The following edge profiles are your best options.

Quartz Durability Property, The Beauty is Here.
Quartz is actually harder than granite and thus, more durable. In fact, quartz is nearly indestructible, and because it isn’t porous like granite.
Porcelain Durability Property, Pros and Cons.
Once installed, porcelain is very hard and durable. It is second only to stone in durability and is unaffected by wear and tear.
