1. Mini sink basin

One of our favorite modern traditional bathroom designs just happens to come in a very small package. Feast your eyes on this small yet sweet sink from @londonbasincompany.

“I love the resurgence of mini sink basins,” says Joyce Huston, co-founder and lead designer at Decorilla. “Their compact size brings a touch of modern minimalism, and they are the perfect complement for a sleek wall-mounted faucet for that truly contemporary feel.”

2. Wood bath pedestal

When creating a bathroom space that strikes the perfect balance of modern and traditional decor, we love this look from @topologyinteriors—particularly the wooden bath pedestal.

“Adding a pedestal-style side table with a neoclassical column adds a functional decor element to your modern traditional bathroom,” says designer Peg Hemzacek, of FLOOR360. “The silhouette pairs nicely with a claw-foot tub and also contrasts well with a checkerboard floor.”

3. Plum-colored checkered floor tiles

Modern traditional design is all about taking minor detours from classic looks, which is exactly what this white and light purple floor tile from @houseofhetheringtons does.

“These plumb checkered floor tiles are delightful,” says Huston. “They will add a touch of whimsy and personality to any bathroom, which is missing in purely modern spaces. It’s all about keeping the balance, so pair a statement floor with classic white walls and clean-lined fixtures.”

4. Bath floor runner

This one doesn’t require any real renovation work, but the result is just as stunning. Simply add a classic floor runner to your modern bathroom to create a hybrid look based on tradition, like this design from @bloomingivylane.

“Emphasize the traditional in your modern traditional bathroom with a vintage-style rug runner,” says Hemzacek. “Place it parallel to your double vanity or leading up to your bathtub. It looks best with a floor that doesn’t have a strong pattern, something like hardwood or plain tile.”

5. Sky blue shower tiles

Light blue tile is having a moment, especially when it comes to creating the perfect upscale vibe in modern traditional bathrooms like this one from @akindofhome.

“I love the sky blue shower tiles because they bring a special freshness to the room,” says Huston. “They add a sense of tranquility and spaciousness, which is key in modern designs. Go for tiles with a subtle textured finish to incorporate a classic touch.”
