Nevertheless, thanks to properly selected solutions we can achieve the effect we want - a functional, as well as visually more spacious interior. In fact, the key to success lies in the details, which are present at every stage of the arrangement - from the choice of fittings, through the installation of concealed frames, to the selection of the right mirror.

What fittings to choose for a small bathroom?
Is a small bathroom a big problem or rather a big effect?! If we want the latter option to win, we should think of this room as a coherent organism, in which everything must be in its place, presenting itself functionally and aesthetically. To do so, it is worth starting with the selection of fittings. This is always key, and in small bathrooms absolutely the most important. A thoughtful selection of washbasin, shower or bathtub faucets allows you to save space, while giving the bathroom a modern character.
In small spaces, compact models that are mounted directly on the wall or sink work best, such as minimalist design taps with simple lines and chrome finish. When choosing taps for a sink, consider countertop models. They take up little space, so there is more room for other elements, which increases the functionality of a small bathroom. For owners of exceptionally modest space, a tap with an adjustable spout may be a good option.
The shower cabin should be placed in the corner of the interior, so that it does not interfere during use. A shower cabin with a shower tray cannot be too large, of course, which is why we recommend the optimal size in a small bathroom - a shower cabin 80x80 . For a shower, we recommend surface-mounted sets with a rain shower.
The color of the fittings is also of great importance. Classic chrome is a good solution here, as is white or light gray with a matte finish. They harmonize with light tiles, reflecting light, which additionally enlarges the space. We should also always choose fittings from proven manufacturers who offer water-saving solutions, such as faucets with aerators or with a flow limiting function.
Small bathroom and concealed frames: are they worth it?
Concealed frames are simply made for small bathrooms, although of course every room benefits from this, presenting itself better, making a more attractive impression. But it is not only about appearance, but also about functionality, because it makes it easier to keep the bathroom clean. It also saves space and allows for concealing installation elements.
The bathroom gains an even more minimalist character in this way, especially since the additional space above the frame can be used for bathroom furniture , such as practical shelves or decorative decorations. This is an even better solution if we consider that there are various models available, both concealed frames for toilet bowls , designed strictly for a sink, bathtub, and shower cabin.
Let's choose narrow frames, because they take up less space, leaving even more usable space. Let's pay close attention to their quality and durability, because it's an investment for years.
How to choose a mirror for a small bathroom to optically enlarge the space?
There is no doubt that the arrangement of a small bathroom must be carried out comprehensively, remembering the most important aspects related to the fittings and concealed frames, but also taking care of smaller but necessary elements, such as a mirror. It is of great importance not only in terms of utility, but also in terms of optically enlarging the bathroom, which is more spacious thanks to this. In bathrooms of modest size, large, rectangular mirrors without frames work best.
The same can be said about models with thin, minimalist frames. Mirrors along the entire width of the wall above the sink work perfectly. Mirrors with built-in LED lighting are also an interesting option. They emphasize the impression of spaciousness, while also being a practical source of light. Another solution is mirrors with non-standard shapes, such as round or oval. Perfect for bathrooms decorated in a modern style.
Using these practical tricks you can create a truly aesthetically appealing and fully functional bathroom, providing a great WOW effect!
