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.
