When you fantasize about your dream bathroom, what comes to mind? Perhaps swapping your view of the medicine cabinet for a panorama of Los Angeles? Trading a wait for the sink for your own private en suite? Or stretching out in a deep tub ensconced in swirling marble walls? Extraordinary features like these can transform an ordinary, utilitarian bathroom into an ultraspecial space you never want to leave.While we're all about vintage everything, We're here to make the case for bringing your bathroom into the 21st century. Modern bathroom styles emphasize sleek, minimalist designs with clean lines, neutral color palettes, and high-quality materials. Floating vanities, frameless glass showers, and freestanding bathtubs create an open and airy feel, while matte black or brushed gold fixtures add a touch of elegance. Smart technology, such as touchless faucets and LED mirrors, enhances functionality, and natural elements like wood, stone, or greenery bring warmth to the space. If you're feeling like these luxuries fall well beyond your budget, we have great news for you. Sometimes all it takes are a few additions to get the look. Just ask London-based designer Kelly Hoppen, whose luxury bathroom projects would make Kendall Roy jealous. Modern design is practical and can seamlessly incorporate a classic bath with modern taps and joinery to create a more eclectic look, or even the shape of a tile can add a modern twist, Hoppen says, adding that sometimes all it takes is a focus on clean lines. Lighting plays a crucial role and should be as hidden as possible, she explains. Avoid overusing patterns or shades, as this can disrupt the sleek, modern look. The goal is to maintain simplicity and elegance throughout the design.Ready to talk specifics?

Case in point: the primary bathroom of this Soho loft, which was inspired by an Aman resort. It features a custom white oak vanity with a moon grey limestone top. The sinks were carved from a 1600-pound block of stone that was fabricated in Italy and brought into the space through the window.2Luxuriously Streamlined BathroomCourtesy Todd EberleReady for your sophisticated era?

So they tapped the design firm Electric Bowery to recreate its bathing culture in their bathroom. Here, an ofuro-style cedar tub takes centerstage atop a platform clad in softly gleaming black limestone tile.4Dark and Moody BathroomNoe DeWittThe primary bathroom of this Gatsby-era mansion is as dapper as its homeowner, ELLE DECOR A-List designer Alfredo Paredes.

An evening at this Kelly Behundesigned retreat means soaking in a custom metallic tub beside a plush vintage Claude Bleynie tapestry. Our favorite detail? The idiosyncratic Janny Baek glass flower vase that brings a touch of sculptural oddity to the otherwise opulent space. 6Bathroom BuddyFrancesco DolfoGrace Jones makes for a worthy companion amid your bathroom break at Eric Egans 1890s Milan flat. The bold blue and yellow portrait works well against the rooms statement-worthy Fromental wallpaper. We especially admire Egans confident combination of wallpaper motifs and the Moroccan floor tiles, a pairing that creates a delightful tension.

In his French apartment, homeowner and Rinck president Valentin Goux covered the spacious primary bathroom in bold Yves Klein blue tiles, a satisfying juxtaposition amid the apartments warmer hues. The colors become cooler in the private areas of the apartment, Goux says. Its a bit more calm, though still colorful, and reminds us of the bathrooms we had as kids.8Moody Marble BathroomAdrian GautMarble has been used in home interiors for millenniaand if its good enough for Romes best architects, its good enough for Kelly Wearstler, who clad the walls of this Toronto bathroom in elegant Calacatta viola marble. These deeply veined walls, reaching well beyond the standard ceiling height, are punctuated by a Lazzarini & Pickering pouf. 9Floor-to-Ceiling Checked Bathroom Adrian GautIn a bathroom of a Toronto home designed by Kelly Wearstler, the floors, walls, and ceiling are all clad in oblong tiles in alternating shades of bluea stylish (and Wearstlerian) twist on a washroom classic.
