Modern Design Bathroom Vanities – Design Trend Luxury Baths

Porcelanosa bathroom vanities modern design trends

Bathroom design trends are all headed in the same direction: modern art inspired, and well-edited. No room for fluff or the extraneous. The lines are sleek – in some cases reproducing the look of modern sculpture. The details are strong yet restrained, as shown in the “X” motif legs of Porcelanosa’s Blank vanity (above left). Even heavy cabinetry looks light as air-appearing to float effortlessly above the ground- as shown in the Porcelanosa’s Kados bathroom vanity (above right) with its streamlined storage drawers accented by polished metal drawer pulls, and its floating counter with above mount sink.
