Minimalist Bathroom Designs with Geberit

Less is more!!! Today, minimalism is a popular design method that works in both large and small bathrooms. We can show you the ins and outs of minimalist bathroom design. Be inspired with Geberit South Africa.

What exactly is a minimalistic bathroom?

Minimalism is all about focusing on the essentials. As a result, minimalist bathrooms are simple and rely on functional elements, such as furniture with a lot of storage space. Clear lines and a limited colour scheme ensure uniformity and a calm atmosphere.

Minimalism in the bathroom does not mean dispensing with decorative aspects completely.

What do you really need in the bathroom?

As the bathroom is often the smallest room in the house, a minimalist design could be the perfect solution. Ask yourself what you could do without in the bathroom.

We recommend the following:

Soft, neutral colours that dominate the space, like whites, greys, blacks, or beige. These tones create a calm and serene environment.
Hidden storage is a key element. Floating vanities or shelves that minimize visual clutter, with discreet compartments or cabinetry.
Natural materials like wood, stone, or concrete are often used to add warmth and texture without overwhelming the space.
Soft, ambient lighting is preferred—often recessed or with simple, elegant light fixtures. Natural light is embraced, if possible.
Only a few essential items—perhaps a small potted plant, simple soap dispenser, or towel bar. No excess decorations or unnecessary items.

One would ask, “wouldn’t my bathroom look too bland if I limit aesthetic elements?” We at Geberit assure you that that is not the case. Most homeowners with small bathrooms make use of practical fixtures that are sleek and functional such as our slim 4mm thin Sigma40 actuator plate together with our concealed cisterns instead of the traditional exposed cisterns that tend to take up much needed space.
