Ideas for bathroom renovation

How do you redesign an old bathroom? Two successful examples with before and after pictures from Switzerland and Norway offer inspiration for modern bathroom designs.

Before and after: designing a modern bathroom Example from Switzerland

Dark, old-fashioned, damaged – such was the state of the bathroom of the D'Apice Herger family from Switzerland before the renovation. Fortunately, the family was able to remodel the bathroom and make it more modern. The walls were stripped, the old appliances dismantled and the dark bathroom was transformed into a bright, modern oasis of well-being within just a few weeks.

Comfort is very important in the new bathroom. With coordinated sanitary products and a simple choice of colours and materials, including stone-look tiles and wooden bathroom furniture, the transformation was a success.

Before and after: Floor-even shower

A floor-even shower replaces the tight shower cubicle in the renovated bathroom. This solution is far more convenient and safe to step into. The Geberit CleanLine shower channel matches the grey tiles well and scores with its slim design and efficient water drainage. The glass partition wall lets enough light into the room, making the shower seem less bulky.

Tile renovation options Example from Norway

Before the renovation, the owners found the six-square-metre bathroom in a house on Saetre in Norway old and uncomfortable. Cold, light blue fine stone tiles and wooden furniture set the tone.

After the renovation, white marble tiles on the walls and floor create a harmonious and timeless design. They give the room a bright and pleasant atmosphere. Large tiles also make the room seem larger.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

If you have clear ideas, know your budget and make the most of expert advice, your bathroom renovation will be much easier. So it is advisable to collect some ideas and inspiration from other bathroom projects before getting started. The D'Apice Herger family discussed various options for the room layout and design with a sales consultant and the bathroom renovation was completed within only a few weeks.


Which bathroom furniture combinations work?

The shower toilet brings freshness and comfort to the new bathroom. The D'Apice Herger family opted for the Geberit AquaClean Tuma because washing with water is cleaner and more hygienic. They combined the shower toilet with the Geberit Monolith. A slim cistern and the required sanitary technology are housed under its elegant surface.

The Geberit ONE washbasin area with vanity basin, washbasin cabinet and mirror cabinet with integrated ComfortLight fits into this modern bathroom because it offers plenty of storage space, is easy to clean and provides ideal lighting at any time of day.

The Norwegian family wanted high quality products and a timeless design. They chose a wall-hung toilet with a concealed cistern and the Sigma21 actuator plate with rose gold details. To match this, they installed wall-hung furniture from the Geberit VariForm bathroom series, which provides convenient storage for toiletries and fits seamlessly with the asymmetrical Xeno² washbasin from Geberit. This combination gives the bathroom a modern, Nordic touch.
