7 Bathroom Designs That Prove Minimalism Is Not Boring

Minimalism captivates with its simplicity and expressiveness: in such interiors, everything is present but nothing is unnecessary. Although many prefer this style for bathroom decoration, there are still people who doubt its effectiveness. Some think minimalism is uninteresting and overly restrained.

We're here to dispel doubts: with the right approach, you can create a stylish, original, and modern bathroom that delights the eye. We showcase impressive bathrooms and share techniques worth your attention.

Light bathroom with a bright accent

Designer: Tatyana Kazantseva

In this project, designers focused on basic finishes, while the highlight of the interior were vibrant accents. Definitely incorporate this idea: bold details bring life to the space and add comfort.

Minimalism is not only strict black, clean white, or calm gray. A restrained space can and should feature a striking accent – for example, here all attention is focused on the bright yellow cabinet.

However, when decorating an interior, moderation is key: one or two colorful elements are enough. Choose vibrant cabinet colors or colorful textiles and ensure the hues complement each other.

Atmospheric bathroom using natural materials

Designer: Olesya Berezovskaya

The owners of this bathroom are lovers of natural and eco-friendly materials, so designers aimed to reflect the clients' love for nature. The result is a bathroom that definitely won't be called boring: the use of wood created a cozy yet uncluttered space.

The only decoration was a flower in a vase with a print, and necessary items were hidden behind mirrors: three pieces are cabinet doors.

To add variety to the interior, choose warm-toned wood, woven accessories, or natural textiles – such an approach aligns with current trends.

Tip INMYROOM: modern minimalism is not only about simple lines and efficient space organization, but also the use of natural materials that bring us closer to nature. The legendary French brand Jacob Delafon stays ahead of trends and delights customers with current solutions: recently, they launched the Sherwood collection, where clean proportions and an incredible wood texture blend together.

Cabinet doors in natural or weathered oak tones will fill the interior with calm and serenity. These models are also functional: sink units feature a convenient push-to-open system – drawers open with a light press. Stylish and practical hardware fits into any interior.

In the series, there are several models for creating the perfect bathroom:

A compact model suits small bathrooms, and additional storage can be organized right on the countertop.

The cabinet will fit all items, leaving only essentials on surfaces.

Functional hardware will enhance the interior: smooth lines and wood texture add a memorable accent.

Harmonious combination of textures

Textures are another way to add depth and volume to a space. We suggest not following the rule 'the more, the better' and maintaining harmony: for example, designers created a textured wall in light tones, included a wooden countertop, and softened the interior with simple and stylish furniture in muted green.

What to be inspired by: combining textures makes the design softer and more comfortable. Keep clean lines, simple forms, and add details – even a small woven basket or flower gives the interior a unique look.

Tip INMYROOM: The sink is another important element in the bathroom. A model with sharp angles makes the space more rigid, while classic ceramic sinks with rounded edges add softness. These are the sinks you'll find in Jacob Delafon's new Sherwood collection. Thanks to wide side surfaces, you get extra storage space. Combine comfort with functionality: a matte-effect sink is easy to maintain and looks very elegant.

As we mentioned earlier, some believe minimalism is only about calm tones. However, in this style, it’s also worth planning a personalized interior with unusual solutions.

Combine warm and cool colors: designers created a beautiful bathroom using coral and turquoise – the design looks modern and very luxurious.

Remember expressive combinations of blue and orange, yellow and gray, and the unbeatable pair of red and white. Add a few accessories in similar tones: the space will transform right before your eyes.

Dark interior with character

Black, dark blue, or dark gray finishes in the bathroom – another technique that still sparks debate. Some think the room becomes too heavy, others consider such a design trendy.

A bathroom will definitely be original and eye-catching if you're not afraid to experiment – for example, paint the walls deep blue, and the cabinets will be terracotta or red.

Pay attention to how character shows up in every detail: then even a mirror frame becomes a masterpiece. Also, surfaces should not be overloaded with too many items. If you don’t want to break the unity, it’s important to choose organizers and other accessories in a consistent style.

Tip INMYROOM: The advantage of a minimalist bathroom is that the interior ages slowly – geometric lines and a restrained palette always look winning. You can find elegant and harmonious solutions for the bathroom in another new release from Jacob Delafon – the stylish Nona collection. The designers successfully combined comfort and visual appeal.

Sinks with countertops made of glass or artificial marble will fit any space size – this is possible due to a wide range. For spacious bathrooms, two-basin sinks are ideal for large families. Small bathrooms can use compact sinks that don’t overburden the interior.

Curved cabinet doors will add lightness – choose models in classic tones or combine items in different colors. And, of course, don’t forget about mirrors – in the Odeon Rive Gauche collection, you’ll find modern models with backlighting or mirrors in colored frames that complete the interior design.

Combination of similar tones

Of course, you can always decorate a white or beige bathroom. However, if you combine several shades of the same color in the interior, the space becomes more voluminous and interesting. Another benefit is that you won’t go wrong with color choices.

For this bathroom, designers chose a blue-green palette: the space has both soft and light colors and deep tones. The same trick can be repeated with current green or striking burgundy – you’re limited only by imagination.

Winning comfort

One of the key characteristics of minimalism is the absence of unnecessary details. But don’t take this rule literally: on the contrary, accessories bring life to any interior. The key is to feel moderation.

Imagine that in this light bathroom, woven baskets, towels, and candles were removed – the space instantly becomes empty. If you use wood in the interior (wooden-finished hardware), confidently choose minimalist accessories in similar tones – this approach helps create a cozy atmosphere.
