What is the secret of a successful contemporary bathroom design?

According to Paola Antonelli of New York's Museum of Modern Art: "Contemporary design is experimental in its use of materials and is often inspired by genuine necessity. Still, it sustains elements of surprise and deep intellectual beauty, because it relies more on invention than on the elaboration of styles."

What that really means is that items are designed to be functional and get the job done simply and effectively dispensing with bells and whistles and unnecessary fiddly bits.

It is their originality that avoids dullness - by offering new and clever ways to do an old job or maybe they are simply made from a material not before considered.

Contemporary design is not only white!

Many people have the idea that a contemporary bathroom is only about white, grey and chrome. But there's no reason why a modern contemporary bathroom shouldn't have colour or even natural wood.

There are, also, other factors to consider - your budget being just one. A contemporary modern design can look expensive and sometimes with the occasional use of unusual materials it can be. But it doesn't need to be!
