Contemporary Baths

Contemporary Bathrooms tend to be described as modern, minimalist and geometric, similar to their counterpart of Contemporary Kitchens. The characteristics include horizontal lines, asymmetry and a lack of molding and other ornamentation. Materials often are man-made rather than natural: stainless steel, laminate, frosted glass inserts, concrete, chrome and lacquer.

Contemporary encompasses styles from the 1940s to the present, with Europe—especially Italy, Germany and Scandinavia—leading the way.
