Ceramic tile is, par excellence, the preferred covering in bathrooms and kitchens. In addition to its technical and hygienic advantages, it has a decorative role in the creation of modern bathrooms. Currently, there is a wide variety of options that go beyond the use of ceramic tiles in neutral tones. We present you the main types of tiles for modern bathrooms.
– Large format. This is a growing trend. The large format pieces reduce joints and create a cleaner, more contemporary look. They also give a sense of spaciousness and visual flow, making them a perfect choice for larger modern bathrooms.
– Textured or embossed. Choosing textured or embossed ceramic tiles for walls can transform the look of bathrooms. If you want to highlight the sink area, use a different tile than the rest of the room.
– Three-dimensional. This type of tile adds visual interest and depth, as well as playing with light and shadow. In this way, they grant a unique and sophisticated atmosphere in modern bathrooms.
– Mosaics. Geometric patterns add an artistic and modern touch to the space. The combination of shades in the mosaics favors the visual perception of the room.

– Accessories. Decorative or aromatic elements such as candles, mikados, paintings or small vases create a personal and warm atmosphere.
– Plants. Introducing plants in the bathroom adds a fresh touch and improves air quality. Ferns, orchids or small vertical gardens are some options.
– Metallic accents. Incorporating metallic accents in faucets, handles or roll holders adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to the room. Gold, copper or brushed nickel are options that fit perfectly in modern bathrooms.
– Decorative profiles. The combination of bathroom accessories, such as faucets or shower columns, with metal profiles is essential. The profiles unify the design of the rooms, enhancing the aesthetics of modern bathrooms. They are also used to decorate ceramic tiles, a growing trend.
Lighting plays a crucial role in modern bathroom design. Although the best option is to take advantage of natural light, here are some lighting possibilities to make the most of your bathroom and make it warmer.

– Backlit mirrors. Mirrors with built-in lighting are handy for grooming routines, such as applying makeup or shaving. They add a contemporary touch to modern bathrooms, as well as convenience.

In modern bathrooms there is a fundamental element: technology, which is integrated into the room. Through different elements, technology in modern bathrooms facilitates the saving of water resources and energy efficiency.
– Taps. The central opening position allows only cold water to pass through, avoiding the unnecessary use of hot water. This also reduces energy consumption. At the same time, touchless faucets are an increasingly common option. They promote water savings and better hygiene by avoiding physical contact with the faucet itself.
– Toilets. There are toilets that allow a greater or lesser water discharge according to user needs. All Noken models include this system.
– Sprinklers. With limiters, the shower flow rate is reduced by up to 75% while maintaining comfort. The different effects increase the feeling of well-being in modern bathrooms with shower.
