Modern master bathrooms are the pinnacle of luxury with freestanding tubs and marble counters. A modern bathroom is achieved by creating clean contemporary lines and keeping décor more sophisticated and minimal. So instead of filling your counters with organizers and knickknacks opt to keep products in the draws and reserve your counter space for a simple soap pump and a vessel filled with your choice of greenery.
Additionally try to stick to a monochrome color scheme of ivories, grays, and blacks, along with wood tones to ground the space. Try to ensure décor pieces are natural materials such as glass, wood, or metals instead of plastics or painted pieces to elevate the space and create a lavish look. For more on how to create modern master bathroom ideas, keep reading.
