The right style of bathroom
Fitting a bathroom in a style to suit you
How you design your bathroom largely depends on your personal style. There are many different ways to adapt bathroom furnishings to your taste, for example through the colour scheme or a maritime theme. Whatever you decide, the functional features and decorative elements should go hand in hand and achieve a harmonious look overall.
Here, we share how to effortlessly bring your personal style to your bathroom with the help of the Villeroy & Boch Collections. You will find matching bathroom ceramics and furniture for every style. Whether you are looking for clean lines, romantic shapes, or outstanding designs, you will find it at Villeroy & Boch.
Must Have Furnishings
What should no bathroom be without?
If you are fitting your bathroom and are looking for ideas on the key furnishing elements, we’re here to help. Of course, there are a few things that are a must in every bathroom. Firstly, there are the bathroom ceramics, i.e. the washbasin, toilet, and bath or shower. If you have a large bathroom you can, of course, include both a bath and a shower, as well as a bidet or shower toilet.
It also makes sense to place a few cupboards or shelves in the bathroom to store towels, toothbrushes, creams, and other everyday items. This makes it much easier to keep the bathroom tidy and organised. Most bathrooms have at least one mirror cabinet with doors. This is often illuminated, which is why there is usually a connection for lighting above the washbasin.
Tip:
There are a few things to consider when installing bathroom ceramics and cabinets. Firstly, the water connections. When planning a bathroom, decisions are made about where the toilet and other fixtures will be subsequently located. Changes can be made later on, but may involve a lot of effort and expense. Secondly, make sure that you will not need to drill the holes for screws in cabinets and mirrors directly into the tiles, or there is a risk of the tile cracking. Drill either in the grouting between two tiles or above the backsplash.

The washbasin
There are several types of washbasin to choose from. In addition to classic washbasins fitted to the wall, such as the rectangular Avento washbasin, there are built-in models such as the elegant Loop and Friends or surface-mounted washbasins such as the modern Artis washbasin. Many models are available in a range of colours.

Finding the right shower
For the shower, combine your favourite shower tray with a shower fitting. At Villeroy & Boch, you will find both rectangular shower trays, such as the customisable Squaro Infinity tray, and square versions such as the Architectura shower tray. Combine them with the elegant concealed single-lever shower mixer from the Subway 3.0 Collection.

A mirror can make a small bathroom look larger
Will it be a mirror or a mirror cabinet? It is entirely up to you! A high-quality mirror is an essential item in any bathroom. In addition, a small bathroom benefits from a large mirror, because it will make the room appear bigger. Choose a mirror with lighting so that you always have the light you need for your everyday bathroom routines.

Equipping the bathroom: the furniture
Furniture is naturally an important factor when equipping your bathroom. Washbasin vanity units are a classic example. These can be perfectly paired with a washbasin, as our top seller, the Venticello vanity unit, shows. Shelves provide space for decoration items or important appliances. The Finion shelf modules are available with lighting as an option.

Toilets
Of course, a bathroom is not complete without a toilet. Villeroy & Boch offers a range of wall-hung toilets, such as the rimless washdown toilet from the Subway 2.0 Collection, plus floor-standing toilets such as the classic O.novo Collection. You will also find accessible toilets and the ViClean-I100 shower toilet.
