German bathroom manufacturer, Pelipal, knows more than a thing or two about bathroom design. Whilst it undoubtedly has an almost endless array of beautiful ranges and ingenious solutions, it also knows a thing or two about making the best of every space. This is the start of the best bathroom design.

For a bathroom design to be truly successful, it must become a sanctuary from the stresses of modern life, to offer relaxation and a sense of wellbeing. It’s almost impossible to relax in a cluttered bathroom.

If you want luxury, then don’t air your dirty laundry in public. There is nothing like dirty washing to take the edge off relaxation. With the Pelipal tilting laundry basket, it’s easy to keep bathrooms laundry-free.

Keep the floor clear. Visually, the clearer the floor, the larger the room will appear, so use wall-hung cabinetry and sanitaryware.

Utilise hidden space behind full-length mirrors, without adding to visual clutter with Pelipal’s clever mirrored storage combo from the Pelipal collection.

Make the most of the storage that is already available. A handy door solution from Pelipal adds another layer of practicality to the bathroom. Additional external shelving combines with increased door width to create contemporary bookcase-style storage when closed.

Rotating mirrored cabinets create flexible storage. Taking up very little floor space, but adding full-length reflection and heaps of additional space, stylish solutions from Pelipal add ultimate flexibility in a modern bathroom.

Add a feeling of space and luxury by using reflective surfaces to bounce light around a room. Shapes and patterns evolve throughout day and night, particularly if you add in additional LED lighting. Reflective and high-gloss finishes are the quick, smart way to create a luxurious feel to any bathroom.

The family bathroom needs to work pretty hard and it can be tricky to meet the needs of everyone. Simply think outside the box and use imaginative planning. Full-length wall cabinets might sound crowded, but a row of full-length mirrors will appear almost inconspicuous.

Contemporary LED lighting is the new candle-lit bath. Don’t underestimate how important lighting is in bathroom design. There is nothing like the feeling created by some clever bathroom illumination to guarantee luxury and relaxation.

A girl’s best friend is a bathroom design that can hide clutter in an instant. Let’s face it, we all hoard too much clutter in the bathroom, so stylish glass shutters from the Pelipal collection are the perfect solution for all of us that want the look of five-star luxury without having to get rid of all those bottles and potions.

Modular design accommodates the needs of everyone without compromising either aesthetics or quality. Modular design offers the ultimate in flexibility and it doesn’t just extend to cabinets. Why have one washbasin when two adds both practicality and luxury? Mirrors and mirrored cabinets can be joined to reflect the line of cabinetry. When you design a bathroom with modular pieces, it really helps in making a bathroom appear streamlined.

If you want a bathroom that will still look great in years to come, get in-sync with modern materials. Pelipal has a range of Krion washbasins, made with natural materials and a small percentage of synthetic resins. These robust and stylish washbasins are impervious to chemicals, hair dye and even hair straighteners won’t cause damage.

Off-the-shelf, small-sized units tend to lack design acumen, but manufacturers, such as Pelipal, create ranges specifically for compact spaces, ensuring that the smallest bathrooms can accommodate luxury, contemporary pieces without necessitating a large budget. Sinks, cabinets and mirrors are designed to make the most of the available area.

One of the fastest ways of getting your bathroom bang up-to-date is to swap old-fashioned mirrors and cabinets to the latest, state-of-the-art affairs. Mirrors and mirrored cabinets can make an enormous difference, so it’s worth making this a priority.

Don’t underestimate the need for plenty of space around the washbasin when you have a young family. An extra-long washbasin top will offer enough room to help smaller children with daily routines whilst adding a hotel-like feel that will appeal to the adults.

The bathroom should be a sanctuary from the stresses of modern day life and music is needed to create a spa-like experience. Fortunately, German manufacturer Pelipal has introduced the rather clever Music Zone, bringing built-in sounds to the bathroom with Bluetooth connectivity.

For those that do not want the expense of moving plumbing and pipework, a Pelipal back-to-wall design is a great solution. It’s a quick fix that covers the ugly parts of the bathroom, minimises the work involved and still creates a stylish bathroom with ample storage.

Smaller bathrooms benefit from carefully considered detail, after all, you are much closer to everything. The trick is to never skimp on quality. Cabinets with compartmentalised drawers that separate personal requirements, mirrored wall units that create the illusion of space and add further storage, even towel hooks that add function and feature, all unite to create a contemporary, clutter-free bathroom.

For those that prefer products on show, consider mirrored cabinets with glass shelves either side, as these visually reduce cabinet size whilst increasing display. Include some of the latest lighting introductions, like the new LED motion sensor from Pelipal, which calls lights out for bright night-time visits to the bathroom. Located under the vanity unit, this clever piece of kit casts a gentle light onto the floor when activated.
