Depending on the plan, this is a matter that must be taken cared of since it involves a pretty tough job of designing and building drainage system, extensive waterproofing the room, and a lot others.

Here are some tips that will help you materialize contemporary bathroom design plans:

Get a bath that is placed as the center of the bathroom. Different types of baths that can be used for contemporary designs have been in proliferation. Choices include baths that are made of stone, stone composites, marble, and wood. You can have a bath mounted on blocks or in a cradle. Or have it surrounded with timber or tiles. Either way, it constitutes a modernized feel that will surely increase resale value of your home.

Choose a basin that is wide, has shallow design, or why not irregularly shaped one? Insert it into a work surface, or have it wall mounted. Shelves or towel storage units can be added below the basin. For a more contemporary feel, add it with lacquered or dark wood cabinets, chrome taps and edgings, and other accessories.

Bold brassware pieces can be added. Bold, angular, satin or matte finished taps and showerheads are great for creating a contemporary feel. Shiny brassware is not recommended for this purpose as it easily wears out causing it to get marked and dulled over time.

Other aspects to be focused on when building a contemporary bathroom design are the walls and furniture. Dark wood, mahogany, and ebony are perfect to contrast with chrome and stainless steel fittings. On the other hand, tiles designed with porcelain and limestone looks are a very popular choice for the contemporary look.
