The modern bathroom is a clean, modern, and tech-savvy room with cabinetry that is both space-saving and stylish. Here we share the latest looks and how to make the most of the available space in your bathroom.

WHAT'S TRENDING?

Modern cabinetry comes in a variety of versatile materials and colours with multiple storage options. Liza Watermeyer, visual display manager at Tile Africa, says that the latest bathroom vanities and storage units must be versatile. The best ranges offer variable storage - both under-counter and wall-mounted. "Stylish editions allow you to choose your colour, size and additional accessory options. Our NUVO Bathrooms range of vanities includes a selection of countertop basins in shades that match your bath. This adds a pop of colour to your space in a wonderfully practical and beautiful way."

One of the best ways to maximise space is with a floating vanity, which frees up floor space from bulky furniture. Charlene le Roux, inspiration specialist at Blum, adds that floating vanities with sit-on basins and pullouts are still trending. "Drawers allow for easy access and clever internal organisation. With Blum's sink drawer solution, even previously unused space can be utilised."

In terms of colour, Johan van Wyk, managing director of On Tap, says that grey may have been one of the most popular styles over the last couple of years for bathroom projects, but that's all about to change. "Designs are moving on to bolder, warmer styles this year. We saw so many grey bathrooms in the past, but anticipate an increase in warmer-toned bathrooms going forward. This trend is most popular in vanities, flooring and wall tiles!"
