📝 Summary:

• In small bathrooms, every centimetre counts – asymmetric bathtubs, enclosures with slim profiles and under-basin cabinets are all great choices, saving space while still delivering an elegant look.
• Using white, beige and grey tones, along with large mirrors and glossy surfaces, makes a bathroom feel more spacious and luxurious.
• Concealed shower sets, slim countertop washbasins and wall-hung, rimless toilets (e.g. the Joker 47 cm) are ideal solutions for a small space, combining style and functionality.
• Sliding doors, LED lighting and glazed enclosures increase both functionality and elegance. You should avoid large, bulky furniture, a lack of storage and poor lighting, all of which disrupt the harmony of a small interior.

Why is a small bathroom both a challenge and an opportunity?

Limited space and the need for comfort

In a small bathroom, every centimetre counts. Customers often worry that they won't be able to combine functionality with aesthetics. Yet with well-thought-out choices, you can achieve a sense of spaciousness even in just a few square metres.

Premium = functionality and style

In the premium segment, it's not just about looks. It's a combination of durability, comfort and smart solutions that improve everyday experience. That's exactly why choosing the right products is so important.

Key elements of a premium small bathroom layout

Choosing premium-class products gives you confidence in both durability and style. An asymmetric bathtub or an enclosure with slim profiles will fit perfectly into smaller rooms without sacrificing comfort. Concealed sets save space, while under-basin cabinets provide extra storage.

Light colours and light-reflecting surfaces

White, beige, grey and pastel shades visually enlarge the space. Glossy surfaces and well-placed lighting create a sense of lightness.

Minimalist fittings – elegance in the details

Concealed shower sets from the Pi or Keria collections are a great choice for small bathrooms – they hide the mechanism inside the wall, giving a clean line and a modern feel.

Ceramics for special tasks

In the Excellent collection you'll find compact countertop washbasins, which work brilliantly even on narrow worktops. And it's worth choosing a wall-hung toilet – such as the Joker 47 cm wall-hung, rimless toilet with soft-close seat, with a concealed frame.

Mirrors and glass – space's best allies

A large mirror and a glazed shower enclosure without a shower tray make a bathroom look bigger and more luxurious. Choose shower enclosures with slim profiles – subtle, modern and durable.

The most common mistakes when arranging a small bathroom

❌ Too much bulky furniture – it takes up space and creates a sense of heaviness.

❌ A lack of storage space – leads to clutter and chaos.

❌ Poorly planned lighting – too dim, or relying only on an overhead light source, makes the interior feel worse.
