When it comes to the world of home decorating and design, white is the color that we tend to rely on the most. Yet it is often viewed as just ‘lack of any color’ that gives space for white to flourish. A room draped in white is one that is viewed as mundane and boring; one that needs bright pops of color to enliven it. But that is a view that as changed dramatically in the last few years with all-white living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms making a comeback of sorts. This is especially true in case of bathrooms where the monochromatic white look is one that represents comfort and class.

White bathrooms bring with them a host of advantages that range from flexibility in design style and themes to an ability to adapt to changing trends and hot colors of the season. You have the perfect blank canvas to work with – one that lets you try out different fittings, accessories and ideas without ever coming in the way. For others it is that spa-inspired look filled with luxury that drives them towards embracing the modern white bathroom. No matter what the motivation, you are bound to fall in love with these 20 gorgeous white bathrooms that also have a bit of color (just a touch) thrown in –

Bathrooms Oozing in Luxury

As we alluded to earlier, one of the biggest reasons for the shift towards white bathrooms is the inspiration drawn by many across the world from rejuvenating spa centers. These bathrooms are often draped in plenty of natural light or illuminated smartly with a modern theme setting the tone. A beautiful bathtub along with pops of gray that blend into the white backdrop create a space that is relaxing, exquisite and promises to bring home all the benefits of your favorite spa. This is absolutely perfect for those who end up going to the nearest spa all too often and if you are short on all the amenities, the ambiance makes up for it!

Warmth of Wood Thrown In!

Wood and white is a color scheme that we have been harping on and on about all through this year on Decoist and it is no different in the bathrooms as well. In the all-white bathroom, wood adds warmth and turns a strictly contemporary space into one that is far more welcoming. Wood and white as a duo works wonders and even if you are a bit skeptical about suing wood in the bathroom, starting out small should convince you to embrace it in a full-fledged manner. A floating vanity in wood or an accent wall in recycled wood is a great way to dip your toes in this trend before you commit to it fully.

The black and white bathroom is nothing revolutionary in itself but it is one that is perfect for the modern home with a change in balance between both those elements. This fall, ramp up the ‘white’ part of the duo and use black accents to anchor the brilliant bathroom. The black bits can come in the form of accent tile, window frames, door handles or even lighting fixtures that wow. Just make sure that you do not go overboard with black and take away from the central color theme of the bathroom!

A Kitchen-Centric Celebration

If you have ever lived in a house where there is considerable distance between the kitchen and the dining area, then you will easily understand all the benefits of keeping them together! It not only saves space, but also makes cooking and hosting a small family dinner much easier. Dining areas in the kitchen create a cozy social zone where no one is excluded and bring people together with ease. In modern apartments where every inch matters, this also frees up an additional room that can be utilized as a second bedroom or home office. This might sound like a simple idea, but it is one that works wonders!

White and Wood Never Fails

If there is one color scheme that you just cannot go wrong with at the moment, then it is undoubtedly wood and white. This one is easy to pull off, comfortable to transition to and offers you a versatile backdrop where multiple styles can be etched with ease. A popular choice that has topped the trends chart all through this year, expect to see more of wood and white in homes across the world in 2020 as well.

In modern homes, nothing is more essential than space and how it is utilized makes or breaks the look of the interior. In small kitchens, every inch matters. While most people view wall-mounted cabinets, sleek open shelves and mobile islands as the perfect way to maximize space, there are still plenty of other options that bring style in a space-savvy fashion. One such smart idea is the tiny breakfast zone in the small kitchen that removes the need for an additional dining room in apartments built for a couple. Even if you have an additional guest, these modest dining areas can accommodate them with ease and they do so without taking up too much additional square footage.

Some of our readers might question the sanity of adding a breakfast zone in the already small kitchen. But in urban homes where homeowners cannot really spare another room or even a corner in the living room for dining purposes, this idea comes in pretty handy. You can utilize an area of the kitchen that would otherwise be forgotten and serving also becomes a whole lot easier in here! Irrespective of the style and theme of your kitchen, these breakfast nooks find space pretty much everywhere.

Turn to Corners for Help

There is nothing like adding a breakfast nook to the kitchen corner when it comes to maximizing space without altering the current kitchen setup drastically. In most kitchens one or two corners are often under-utilized or just left vacant. Instead of filling the corner with a potted plant, add a small table and a couple of chairs to instantly create a cool breakfast zone. You can even consider the idea of banquette seating that feels even cozier and the area underneath can provide additional storage space. Be it banquette seating or just a round table with twin chairs, the corer breakfast zone is an idea every kitchen can benefit from.

White Comes to the Rescue

We love how a white kitchen is often the solution to most of our space and decorating problems! Even in the case of tiny kitchens with breakfast zones, keeping the backdrop white or using colors like gray in lighter shades offers a great backdrop that creates visual space. The breakfast zone in here can also add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral space as you usher in a couple of bight and bold chairs. It can also blend into the backdrop if necessary and you have a kitchen that is much more functional, brighter and spacious.

Maximizing Space in Style

You will notice that adding the breakfast nook to the kitchen is not limited by the style choice you make. Industrial style kitchens benefit from chairs in bar stools in metal and wood at the breakfast bar while rattan chairs look more at ease in beach style and shabby chic kitchens. Smart modern bar stools in contemporary kitchens that can be tucked away when not in use bring additional convenience and you can even use this space as home workspace as you multi-task!

We love the idea of a tiny home that offers plenty in limited space and does so with innovative design solutions that help with multi-tasking. Designed by Great Home Ideas and Paul Sofronov of Archemy, this gorgeous little cabin in wood is a great holiday home or backyard escape where the entire family can come together. The cabin feels much more spacious than it really is thanks to the use of sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the landscape inside. The large pivoting door on one side completely opens up the cabin to the deck where you find a slide-out daybed.

The daybed can be easily tucked away when not in use and it also contains hidden storage that allows homeowners to just put away things not in use with ease. On an elevated platform behind the daybed and inside the cabin is a bed that offers a view of the outdoors thanks to its elevated position. The kitchen sits right next to the bedroom and its small counter offers just sufficient cooking space. On the other side is the little living area along with a desk that contains bins underneath it.
