5 situations when a combined bathroom is necessary

Perhaps the only case where a separate bathroom definitely suits you — is if a large family lives in the apartment. In all other cases, combining the bathroom and toilet should be considered. Sometimes this solution can be the most optimal.

Important: removal of the partition needs to be coordinated.

You have a small apartment or want to fit a jacuzzi, washing machine, and possibly even a shower cabin in the bathroom.

The most obvious advantage of combining the bathroom is space saving. Sometimes this solution will even allow installing a hydro-massage bathtub or, in addition to a regular one, a shower cabin. It's also a great idea for those who dream of a stylish freestanding bathtub. And it’s also an excellent solution if you want to allocate more space for storage.

A shower enclosure instead of a cabin looks more neat — just right for a small bathroom.

Wall cabinet

Will allow very compact storage organization. We like the model in the color "Walnut" — eco-design in trend!

You need to radically change the layout of the bathroom

According to ergonomics rules, the optimal distance from the toilet to the wall or door is not less than 60 cm, and the minimum width of the toilet is 70 cm. However, not all apartments meet these standards. By combining the bathroom, you can rearrange the toilet or bathtub to make usage more convenient or visually balance the proportions of the room.

And sometimes, with high ceilings, small-area rooms can look like "wells" — in this case, removing the partition will also help make the bathroom proportionally more comfortable.

Installation switches "under chrome" will suit almost any stylistic solution. The brand AM.PM has such options in matte and glossy variants.

Suspended toilet FlashClean

A compact designer solution: perfectly fits into a bathroom of any size due to its projection of 49 cm, and hidden fittings and perfect wall alignment ensure aesthetic cleanliness of the design.

You want to save on finishing materials in the future

By removing the partition, you immediately "remove" two additional surfaces: one side in the bathroom and one side in the toilet — accordingly, you will need significantly less tiles (paint or wallpaper), and only one door needs to be installed, and the work of the team will cost less.

Of course, the removal itself is an additional expense, but in the long run, updating the renovation will be much more budget-friendly.

Basin base,

Saving budget and space, you can afford to spend a little more on furniture and plumbing fixtures: for example, install a cabinet under two basins — this is convenient for families with small children.

Or pay attention to a wall-mounted mixer with thermostat: it quickly reacts to changes in temperature or pressure in the water supply network — no risk of scalding even during a sudden cold water outage.

You require convenient access to water supply systems

In a combined bathroom, you can implement a simplified system of utility connections: all nodes can be arranged as you prefer. And yes, no more crawling under the bathtub with a flashlight to read the meter.

Basin mixer

A mixer of characteristic shape in the style of dynamic organic, wall-mounted, fits perfectly into a bathroom in modern or minimalist style.

You are demanding about cleanliness, and there's no possibility to install a sink, bidet or hygiene shower in the toilet

Either there is simply not enough space in the toilet for even a very compact sink, or technically it’s impossible (or costly in time and resources) to connect water supply to it — there may be many reasons. By combining the toilet and bathroom, you solve all these problems.

You will find:

Suspended bidet

Just like a suspended toilet, such a bidet will take up less space and visually not overload the interior.

Electronic lid-bidet Clean Care

Installed on a suspended toilet. An ideal solution and excellent alternative to a hygiene shower: three modes, individual temperature control of water, air dryer, seat surface, as well as position and power of the nozzle.
