A practical and beautiful bathroom. Tips and inspirations

What a beautiful bathroom should look like - this is a question that everyone who plans to arrange a bathing interior asks themselves. The bathroom occupies a special place in our homes and flats. Therefore, when designing it, we should follow our tastes, which may not necessarily be in line with the latest trends. After all, it is a private space where we should feel at ease.

It is essential to think about every last detail before setting up the bathroom. A bathtub or shower enclosure cannot be rearranged according to your mood, so the decision on where to locate them is binding. Exactly - an asymmetrical bathtub or a customised shower tray? These are questions that need to be answered before renovation begins. Following a few basic rules helps us to furnish our bathroom in a comfortable and convenient way, without unnecessary problems.

Ideas for a beautiful bathroom

Creating the perfect, cosy, comfortable bathroom space is a priority. In order for us to feel comfortable in it, a harmonious arrangement is essential. This can make every moment spent in this interior pure pleasure.

We spend a lot of time in the bathroom. That is why it is worth investing in good fittings, making sure that it is also intuitive and easy to use. The market is full of products that will help to arrange our dream interior. The basis of any bathroom, even the smallest one, will be appropriately selected equipment. The shower enclosure and bathtub will determine its appearance and functionality for many years. Well-thought-out bathroom concepts will allow us to create both a bathing room and a small bathroom.

Any bathroom can be beautiful, to our liking, and at the same time functional. When designing or renovating this room, remember that it is an investment for years and the room you create will be with you for a long time. Therefore, it is worth thinking carefully about all the elements in it. Below are a few designs.

It is only seemingly a miracle to furnish such a bathroom well. For extremely small spaces, Sanplast designers recommend shower enclosures with clear glass, which do not create a visual barrier and optically enlarge the space. The same principle applies to shower trays - by choosing a low shower tray, on a level with, and in the colour of, the floor tiles, you get the impression of a larger area, as well as a modern style, in keeping with the best bathroom trends. For a tiny bathroom, semi-circular corner shower enclosures are recommended. Their shape provides the best visual effect and optimal ergonomics in a small space. Sanplast's proposal is a modern corner cabin from the TX series, with chrome handles and finishing elements, with dimensions of 80x80x190 cm and a low shower tray from the Space Mineral series with a depth of 1.5 cm.

A beautiful classic bathroom

Bring a breath of elegance and timeless charm into your interior by designing your bathroom in the classic style. Distinctive elements such as marble, delicate embellishments and artfully crafted fittings will create an atmosphere of dignity and sophistication. A colour scheme focusing on muted shades of white, cream and pastel hues will provide harmony while highlighting architectural details. Accentuate the space with classic furniture, a well-chosen mirror with ornaments and crystal sconces, which will enliven the interior with a subtle glow. Remember to keep functionality in mind - noble free-standing bathtubs or upright washbasins will add charm, without sacrificing comfort of use. By creating a bathroom in classic style, you are betting on a composition of eternal values, where details play a key role in creating the unforgettable character of this special place.

The beauty of a loft-style bathroom

The beauty of a loft-style bathroom

When creating a loft bathroom, reach for the raw aesthetic of an industrial loft that exudes character and the unique spirit of an urban lifestyle. Use exposed brick walls, pipes and structural elements as an integral part of the design. Opt for spaciousness and minimalism by placing open shelving units with industrial towel baskets and metal cabinets with crisp, matt finishes. Choose wide, open shower enclosures with black profiles to add contrast and character, accentuating the austere décor. Complete the space with a mineral cast basin and bathtub to introduce natural accents. Industrial pendant lighting or sconces with exposed bulbs will become a functional element as well as decoration. A loft bathroom combines rawness with an unconventional style, where every detail recalls the authentic character of the urban space.

How to furnish a practical bathroom?

A practical and beautiful bathroom is a harmony between aesthetics and functionality. When decorating the interiors of our homes, the balance between practicality and aesthetics becomes an overriding value. The bathroom, as one of the key places in our homes, perfectly reflects this philosophy by creating practical yet beautiful spaces.

A practical bathroom is first and foremost a design philosophy that makes optimal use of every centimetre of available space. This is particularly important for small bathrooms, where every element must be well thought out. By choosing practical fixtures such as functional cabinets, hanging shelves or folding accessories, we can maximise space while allowing freedom of movement.

One of the key aspects of practicality is choosing the right flooring for the bathroom. A practical bathroom floor should be resistant to moisture and easy to clean. We can choose from a variety of options, such as ceramic tiles, vinyl panels or micro-cement, which not only meet the requirements of functionality, but also fit in with a variety of aesthetic visions.

Beautiful bathrooms are those that stop our gaze for a moment, delighting us with their appearance. What should a beautiful bathroom look like? It's a matter of individual preference. Beauty can manifest itself through minimalist modernity, where bright colours and simple lines dominate, or in elegant classics, where muted colours and fine details create a unique atmosphere.

A beautiful and modern bathroom often focuses on simplicity and functionality. Bright wall colours, combined with designer fittings and elegant accessories, create an interior that exudes contemporary style. A beautiful classic bathroom, on the other hand, can be based on noble materials such as marble or wood, creating an atmosphere worthy of a palatial interior.

When furnishing a practical bathroom, it is worth taking inspiration from designs that prove that practicality and aesthetics can go hand in hand. Practical cabinets with roomy interiors, skilfully planned shower space and intelligently placed lighting are just some of the solutions that underline the beauty of practical bathrooms.

Interiors that combine practicality and beauty become a place where daily routines are transformed into moments of relaxation and pleasure. A practical and beautiful bathroom is a space that not only meets our functional needs, but also surrounds us with aesthetic comfort, enhancing the quality of our daily life.

Practical bathing areas in a 5 m2 bathroom

A bathroom of this size does not necessarily have to appear "small", especially when it has a practical layout. An important element of such a room are the niches, which can be used creatively to create a practical and elegantly concealed storage space or even a comfortable and modern shower. If you have an alcove with minimum dimensions of 80x80, you may be tempted to create just such an option. Separate our shower area from the rest of the bathroom with an elegant swing door, for example from the practical TX series, and the well-used space makes the bathroom feel much larger - maybe even with room for a bathtub.

Made-to-measure products - the solution to a practical bathroom

Structure Mineral shower tray - the solution for a practical bathroom

A personal oasis of relaxation begins with the precise matching of products to your own requirements. By creating a bathroom using made-to-measure products, you have the opportunity to create a space that is perfectly tailored to your needs and preferences. A made-to-measure shower enclosure will allow you to utilise every inch of available space, eliminating unnecessary indentations or empty spaces. By choosing the right size, door type and finish, you will create a functional relaxation centre to suit your lifestyle. And the made-to-measure shower trays we offer in the Structure Mineral range ensure that you have a comfortable and ergonomic solution that fits perfectly into the available space. You can choose not only the shape and dimensions of the shower tray, but also the colour scheme to harmonise with the rest of your bathroom décor. With made-to-measure products, you have full control over every detail, creating a unique and customised space where comfort and functionality go hand in hand with aesthetics.

Planning the right space for a shower enclosure or bathtub is very important, especially if the elderly or disabled will be using it. Little space and a slippery floor can have unpleasant consequences, so it is worth thinking about. Usually, the free space around a shower enclosure is determined by its door, but a generally accepted value is 70 cm wide and 90 cm long. With a bathtub, the dimensions differ only in length - 100 cm. If we have trouble finding such space, made-to-measure shower trays are a great option. We can design our own shower by choosing the right dimensions and shape. It's also worth noting that the installation of the shower enclosure is quick and easy. This will save time during renovation.

Practical bathroom with bathing, washing and personal hygiene areas

Practical bathroom with bathing, washing and personal hygiene areas

When we ask ourselves what a beautiful bathroom should look like, the first features that come to mind are practical and functional. For this to be the case, it is important to arrange each area of the bathroom - the bathing/showering area, the washing area and the so-called personal hygiene area.

The shower area should be equipped with a shower enclosure that meets the needs of every user. In smaller spaces, quadrant shower enclosures with minimal detailing and transparent glass work well. A harmoniously fitting shower tray not only provides an elegant finish to the shower enclosure, but also a stable base. It is worth giving thought to the choice of shower tray and opting for one that meets high anti-slip standards.

The toilet should be at the right height so that everyone can use it comfortably. It is also worth paying attention to the shape of the toilet bowl. Specific ones are often cumbersome to keep clean, especially if they have folds that are characteristic of upright models.

Bidets are also appearing more and more frequently in Polish bathrooms, but this is not an indispensable device especially if you have a small room. For more demanding users, you can purchase a bathtub with a hydromassage system. There are many interesting ways to diversify the look and functionality of bathrooms. All you need to do is plan in advance what you want it to contain.

It is no trick to furnish a flat when you are not limited by space. However, Sanplast designers are aware of the realities of the polish construction industry and also direct their ideas towards owners of small bathrooms. A small or even a very small bathroom should nowadays not be any obstacle to create a stylish and practical space. All it takes is finding the right solutions.

The washbasin is a very important part of any bathroom. Brushing your teeth or shaving are activities for which a wash basin is essential. Countertop wash basins are a good solution - a very popular solution that will beautifully underline the modern atmosphere with its design. The large bowl will ensure comfortable use. It is worth leaving a little space around it, which will allow us to clean it easily, and to have easy access to the cabinet. It is also important not to forget the appropriate mirror, which is its inseparable complement. It is a good idea to take care of the distance between the mirror and the washbasin to avoid unsightly splashes. The ideal solution is to leave a distance of about 20 cm.

A beautiful and modern bathroom

Creating a modern bathroom requires a balanced mix of functionality, minimalism and innovative solutions. Focus on clean lines, simple forms and muted colours to achieve an elegance based on simplicity. Choose neutral tones such as white, grey and black as primary colours, adding bold accents of colour through accessories and additions. Use energy-efficient LED lighting to enhance the modern feel of the bathroom and create a relaxing atmosphere.

Consider using glass elements, such as a shower enclosure with clear glass, to visually enlarge the space. Minimalist furniture with hidden shelves and storage will help keep things tidy and aesthetically pleasing. Modern pedestal or wall-mounted basins, made from robust materials, will add elegance and simplicity. In addition, installing concealed taps and a shower system will make the space look neat and modern.

Do not forget technology - integrated sound, light and temperature control systems will add comfort and luxury. The right ceramic tiles or woodgrain panels can add warmth to the interior while maintaining a minimalist look. Remember that the key element in a modern bathroom is the harmonious combination of design and practicality, creating a space that is at once functional, aesthetically pleasing and extremely comfortable.

Practical and beautifull - bathroom for everyone

Another interior that may seem simple to arrange is a larger bathroom. With a floor space of 9 m2 and the possibility to create a bath room, we are one of the lucky ones who are only limited by our imagination. You can let your imagination run wild and opt for bold design solutions. Larger areas are perfect for a no-threshold walk-in shower enclosure, including Sanplast's flagship project, the Space Mineral trapezoidal shower tray, elegantly complemented by the Altus walk-in shower enclosure. Another element of a large bathroom that is definitely worth tempting is a free-standing bathtub. It will bring a real atmosphere of comfort into the room and provide an elegant focal point for the bathroom.

Accessories play a key role in creating a practical and beautiful bathroom, adding both functionality and aesthetics. Here are some items you may want to consider: 

  • Organisers and baskets - keeping your bathroom tidy is important. Use organisers, wall shelves and baskets for towels or toiletries to keep everything in its place. This is a practical solution that can also be a decorative element.
  • Mirror - a large, striking mirror can optically enlarge the space while adding brightness. Choose a frame in a style that matches the overall bathroom décor.
  • Textiles - towels, rugs not only serve a practical function, but also add colour and pattern to the interior. Choose them carefully to match the overall colour scheme and style.
  • Plants - Potted plants can add vibrant greenery and freshness to a space. Choose species that can tolerate the bathroom's humidity conditions well.
  • Storage accessories - Perfume shelves, cup holders or toilet paper holders can be practical additions that also look aesthetically pleasing.
  • Candles and aromatherapy - creating a relaxing atmosphere can be achieved with scented candles or scented diffusers. This is a great way to relax after a long day.
  • Decorative accents - choose a few carefully chosen accents, such as decorative tiles, photo frames or minimalist sculptures, to enhance the character of the interior.
  • Handles and fittings - choose modern handles, hangers and faucets that work perfectly with the style and colour scheme of the bathroom.

It is worth remembering that accessories should be balanced and appropriate to the space. Too many of them can make the bathroom seem cluttered, so it is advisable to choose those that are really suitable for everyday use or introduce a significant aesthetic element. Versions of bathrooms with practical accessories can be numerous, but let's decide on the arrangement that best suits our tastes.
