Modern, small bathroom with concealed frames

Geberit Duofix frame (mounting element) for WC, Sigma 12cm, H112 111.320.00.5 A concealed frame is a solution that is ideal for arranging a small bathroom with a modern character. Concealed frames are used to mount a wall-hung toilet bowl and other sanitary devices (e.g. a bidet) on the wall. They allow you to hide all connections and the flushing system behind a plasterboard.

Installing a toilet bowl on a concealed frame is essential for a small bathroom to be visually appealing and convenient for users. When looking for a wall-hung toilet bowl for a small bathroom, it is worth choosing a compact model with a simple, slim form. The market offers entire collections of devices designed specifically for tight spaces.

Mini suspended sanitary ware will optically enlarge the space. They are just as comfortable to use as full-size, massive models. The space above the flush-mounted frame can be used for a cabinet with shelves up to the ceiling. It is worth arranging the space above the washing machine on similar principles. Arranging a small bathroom is much easier with flush-mounted frames!

Opt for a shower cabin with a shower tray for a small bathroom!

This is one of the basic dilemmas of people arranging a small bathroom. Remember that you do not have to give up the bathtub, although in a very small bathroom a shower is often a more convenient solution. When deciding on a shower, there are three main options to choose from:

  • shower cabins with shower tray in ready-made sets,
  • standard shower trays of various shapes, sizes and heights,
  • walk-in cabins, i.e. shower zones with a threshold-free entrance, without shower trays, usually arranged in a corner or in a recess, often separated from the rest of the bathroom by a shower wall.

Walk-in cabins have an excellent impact on the modern look of the bathroom and the optical enlargement of the space, but they require the installation of a special linear drain in the floor, which is not possible in all apartments and houses (without a general renovation).

Compact, low semicircular shower trays and semicircular cabins with sliding doors, made of transparent tempered glass, work great in small bathrooms. They can be placed in difficult-to-arrange corners. For a small bathroom, we recommend, for example, a 80x80 shower tray .

How to choose the right fittings for a small bathroom?

Properly selected bathroom fittings can also contribute to the visual enlargement and brightening of the room. Shiny, light-reflecting surfaces have a beneficial effect on the reception of a small bathroom. For this reason, classic, chrome-plated taps with a high-gloss finish will work perfectly there. It is worth choosing wall-mounted taps, especially concealed ones, with a minimalist design and compact dimensions. Of course, it should be remembered that the selected tap must create an aesthetic and functional whole with the device for which it is intended.
