There are a lot of trendy bathroom design styles on the rise right now, from coastal chic to eclectic maximalism. But among the most popular aesthetics is simple minimalism. A minimalist bathroom isn’t just about looks; it’s about creating a peaceful, clutter-free space where everything has a purpose.
At True North Kitchen and Bath, we believe your bathroom should be a sanctuary—and minimalism offers a beautiful way to achieve just that. Whether you’re planning a full bathroom renovation or simply looking to declutter, here are our top tips for creating a minimalist bathroom that’s timeless, stylish, and perfectly suited to your family’s needs.
First things first: the best way to create a minimalist aesthetic is to start from square one. That means clearing countertops, emptying drawers, and taking inventory of what you have versus what you actually use. A major key to minimalism is to keep only the essentials: daily toiletries, your favorite towels, and a few well-chosen accents. Everything else? Donate, relocate, or recycle.
When it comes to designing your dream minimalist bathroom, a calm color scheme is everything. Neutral colors help set a grounding tone. Stick to whites, beiges, soft grays, or earthy tones to give the space an open, airy feel. If you want to add a bit of contrast, use black or dark bronze fixtures, or layer in natural textures like wood or stone to keep things grounded and warm. No matter what you’re looking for, the designers at True North have your back—we can always help bring your vision to life.
If there’s one word that sums up minimalist design, it’s simplicity. That not only means eliminating clutter, but also steering clear of distracting or disjointed features. We suggest sticking with simple choices like floating vanities, frameless mirrors, and wall-mounted faucets. Seek streamlined silhouettes that reduce visual whiplash and make the most of your bathroom’s square footage.
Making the most of smart storage solutions is essential to perfecting your ideal minimalist bathroom. To keep clutter out of sight—but make sure your necessities are always nearby—use concealed storage. Consider recessed medicine cabinets, built-in shelving, or under-vanity drawers. Every item should have a designated home to help you maintain serenity and cleanliness.
A minimalist bathroom doesn’t have to be completely sterile or void of your personal taste. Small touches can make a big difference and pop in a major way—especially when you’re dealing with neutral color palettes and simple fixtures. A single plant, a handcrafted soap dish, or a piece of abstract wall art can bring life to your bathroom without overpowering the space. That way, you can still feel at home in a simplistic space.
Minimalism is essentially an anti-trend—it’s an aesthetic meant to withstand the test of time. That means that when planning your minimalist bathroom redesign, you should prioritize quality over quantity or trendiness; invest in high-quality materials and fixtures that will last. Consider timeless options like porcelain tile, solid wood cabinetry, or quartz countertops.
