Decorate a Modern Bathroom for Under $3000
We did the math; it’s expensive to redesign a bathroom. But the bulk of the expense comes with sourcing quality tile, bathtubs and showers, hardware, and vanity sinks. The rest is the icing on the cake, the cherry on top, but no less important. You want your modern bathroom to exude luxury, calm, relaxation, and utility. The best bathrooms serve their foundational purpose while also being a beautiful place to be and a sanctuary for self-care. Everything you need and more can be a bit costly, but we’ve curated essentials and know for a fact that you can decorate your modern bathroom for under $3,000. Let’s do it!
Modern Bathroom Storage
The modern bathroom needs good storage. Whether you’re dealing with a home with inadequate closet space or just have a lot of toiletries, good shelving and cabinets are essential. A new piece on the scene is the Bellwood Over the Toilet Shelf. This space-saving shelving system is a great answer to smaller bathrooms where wall space might be at a premium.
If you want a place for décor and to keep everyday essentials within reach, the Montage Metal Wall Shelves are fun, funky, and functional. They come in a set of two that you can arrange in an artistic and dynamic display.
To boost your shelf space (and to keep some items hidden away) you can’t go wrong with The Mixer Cabinet. Designed with misty and mottled glass front doors, this stylish cabinet comes in a variety of colors, too meaning you can really personalize this to suit your bathroom.
We can’t talk bathroom storage without bringing up the Mist series from Ferm Living. Match your cotton pad holder, storage container, and even your tissue box cover in Mist’s marbled resin and enjoy the elegant and durable presence of this incredibly functional set.
Racks and Hooks
You need a place to hang your towels. What’s more, you can’t ignore the curtain rod or even the toilet paper holder. These details pull the entire room together and become those fun little details that make a room charming—even if it is the bathroom.
We love the Aria Cage Pinpoint Rod for window treatments because of its highly decorative, but still minimalist presence. And then, grab the Curvature series to find the perfect, artsy toilet paper holder, wall hook for towels, and a towel hanger for hand towels. These pieces as simple movement and metallic shine, while also being very useful.
Bathroom Linens
Bathroom linens are a very personal choice. But we’re confident you’ll love the Organic Bath Towel from Ferm Living. Woven from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, these towels are so plush and soft, you’ll want to buy them for everyone you know. Pair the towels with the Simple Waffle Shower Curtain and the Simple Terry Bathmat, and you have the best linens you’ll ever experience.
Modern Lighting & Mirrors for Bathrooms
Behind tile and shower inserts, bathroom lighting might be the next most expensive part of your bathroom renovation. However, the Lochan Wall Sconce is not only affordable, but beautiful and minimalist so it slips into any design aesthetic.
Style the Lochan wall light on either side of the Framed Mirror from Muuto to create that perfect vanity space and provide plenty of light.
Bathroom Décor & Accessories
On top of the essentials, you’ll want some exciting décor and accessories that continue to make life easy but also bring beauty and art into the space. Complement your other Mist pieces with the Mist Round Tray which you can use to house more décor (like candles) or as a jewelry tray, or use it to store and arrange bottles.
A nice touch is the Dimple Glass so you and guests can easily get a drink when needed. Store these in the cabinet or place them on the countertop next to the Essential Ceramic Vase with fresh cut flowers. Finally, we think you should treat yourself to the Aquala Bathtub Caddy and Tray to create that spa experience.
