Small Yet Vibrant Pops
Modern Bathroom With Vanity Storage
For the bathroom of a designer showhouse, architect Gregg De Meza designed a vanity with a sophisticated modern exterior and sunny yellow interior. “The storage was designed with form and function in mind,” he says. “To keep a clean modern aesthetic, the vanity front is clean and simple. Pull it open for toiletries and get a bonus hit of sunshine to kick off the day.”

Maybe you're not ready to bathe your entire bathroom in the happy hue. Instead, consider incorporating small but bold accents throughout the space. You'll never be so happy to open a bathroom drawer.

Yellow is also ultra-versatile and works well with a variety of design styles. Try mixing those styles to make your space reflect your taste and your home's roots. Here, Craftsman elements pair with modern touches for a look that's bold but warm.
Glass Tile That Glimmers
Opt for a yellow glass-tile surround to help reflect light in your bathroom, especially if your space lacks windows.
