More bathroom design ideas

Whether you are renovating a small bathroom or planning a new one, there are countless ways to create a space that is both personalised and functional.

The examples shown illustrate how different colours, surfaces and fixtures shape the look and feel of a bathroom. Design concepts that prioritise high-quality materials, white ceramics and clean lines create a timeless aesthetic that remains stylish for many years to come.

Bathroom featuring a Geberit flush plate in red gold
Metallic accents bring elegance to the bathroom. In this example, the red gold flush plate complements the washbasin taps, creating a subtle touch of luxury. Such details are most effective when used sparingly.
Dark bathroom with the Geberit Xeno² bathroom series
Dark colours can add depth and character to a bathroom. The concrete-effect wall is a bold design statement, while the dark vanity unit beneath the washbasin adds contrast to the surrounding white elements.

Small bathrooms, in particular, benefit from well-planned storage solutions. A vanity unit and a recessed shower niche provide practical storage without taking up valuable floor space. Light colors and clean lines create a welcoming, open atmosphere. Even a small bathroom can accommodate a comfortable walk-in shower.
Family bathroom with a sloping ceiling, featuring Geberit ONE products, a Geberit AquaClean Mera Comfort shower toilet and the Geberit Monolith sanitary module.
In this family bathroom with a sloping ceiling, the reduced headroom at the rear of the room has been cleverly utilised for a walk-in shower. The space beneath the slope also houses the toilet area, equipped with a Geberit AquaClean shower toilet combined with a Geberit Monolith sanitary module.
Green bathroom featuring Geberit iCon furniture and ceramics, a black Geberit CleanLine30 shower channel and an oval Geberit Option mirror.
Plants and natural tones bring a sense of calm to the room. In this example, the green wall color, dark stone-effect tiles, and the plant next to the vanity unit create a connection to nature. The result is a modern bathroom with a fresh, natural, and contemporary feel.
White bathroom designed with Geberit bathroom products.
Natural stone is a popular choice in bathroom design. The white marble tiles in this bathroom create a luxurious atmosphere while bringing a sense of calm to the space. Light-coloured ceramics with slim profiles and the minimalist illuminated mirror reinforce the timeless aesthetic. The dark grey bathroom furniture echoes the subtle veining of the marble tiles, creating a harmonious overall look.
Guest bathroom in earthy terracotta tones featuring products from the Geberit Acanto bathroom series.
Guest bathrooms often offer more design flexibility than first meets the eye. In this example, earthy terracotta tones and geometric floor tiles create a distinctive look full of character. Carefully selected wall-hung furniture and ceramics complete the stylish design.

Bathtub or shower? A bathtub is perfect for relaxing, but it generally requires more space than a shower. By contrast, a level-access shower with a glass screen creates a greater sense of openness and provides step-free access. If the bathroom is large enough, both a bathtub and a separate shower can be incorporated into the layout.

Bathroom before & after How to successfully renovate a bathroom

How can an outdated bathroom be transformed into a contemporary haven of wellbeing with the help of a thought-through design concept? Our before-and-after examples show how family bathrooms and small bathrooms can be turned into modern spaces with greater comfort, functionality and style.

Whether large or small – be inspired

Of course, which ideas are possible also depends on the size and floor plan of your bathroom! Around the world, opinions vary about what is considered a large or small bathroom. Regardless of this, options exist for homely bathroom design and functional installations for all floor plans and sizes.

Which colours are best suited for a bathroom?

Choosing the right colours plays an important role in creating the atmosphere of a room and enhancing wellbeing. Pastel shades and soft greys can make even small bathrooms feel more spacious. Colour accents are best introduced through accessories such as decorative items and towels, while bathroom furniture and ceramics should be kept in timeless colours.

Minimalist bathroom

Minimalism in the bathroom is recommended when space is limited. If you don’t have many things in the first place, then they don’t have to be stored away.

However, minimalist design has now not only become a popular choice in smaller rooms, but can also be seen as a lifestyle choice in many different bathrooms across the world. The original idea remains the same – focusing on the essentials. We can show you what this means in the bathroom.

Designing a small bathroom

The bathroom is usually not the biggest room in an apartment or house. The average bathroom size varies from country to country. One thing is certain: a modern mini bathroom is also possible with just 4 m² available. Even more so when you know how the limited space available can be used to its full potential.

We examine the challenges faced when designing the bathroom, offer inspirations for small bathrooms, and answer frequently asked questions.
