Today, it fulfils multiple technical sanitary and aesthetic purposes, as a space to perform your ablutions and take care of your personal grooming, while also living up to the rather demure but apt name of \u201crest room\u201d. The tendency to go for a sober decoration and a functional layout has given way to a \u201cspa-like\u201d, or even boudoir, vibe. The materials used (wood, marble, synthetic stone, ceramic) have thus become as important as the technical equipment, selected with the same ultimate aim: to create a haven in your own home. The result is a \u201cclean\u201d room, a little cut off from the rest of the house, where you can take care of yourself, an oasis of peace and quiet, where practicality prevails over frivolity. Fittings with curved lines, equipment that is pleasant to the touch, innovative but easy-to-use functions and enhanced ergonomics are its bywords.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zen_inspiration\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zen inspiration<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Japanese style is all about absolute refinement, noble materials and pure lines. It draws its influence and inspiration from the fundamentals of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/fr\/design\/design-japandi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Japanese art of living<\/a> to give our bathrooms the comfort we all deserve, tinged with a gentle rigour. Natural wood,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/fr\/category\/art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> ceramic,<\/a> bamboo and washi paper are some of its hallmark elements. Kokedama and ikebana (the ancestral art of floral arrangement) bring nature from the outside to the inside. As for the baths themselves, they are smaller, often in the form of a free-standing bathtub, and take pride of place in the middle of the room. Japanese panels and partitions can be adopted as highly aesthetic and very easy-to-install options to separate two rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7563\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7563\" class=\"center wp-image-7563\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ANTONIO-LUPI_Mastello-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ANTONIO-LUPI_Mastello-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ANTONIO-LUPI_Mastello-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ANTONIO-LUPI_Mastello-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ANTONIO-LUPI_Mastello-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Antonio Lupi |\u00a0Mastello<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_7566\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7566\" class=\"center wp-image-7566\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AGAPE_Immersion-Freestanding-Bathtub-Design-by-Neri-and-Hu.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AGAPE_Immersion-Freestanding-Bathtub-Design-by-Neri-and-Hu.jpg 2362w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AGAPE_Immersion-Freestanding-Bathtub-Design-by-Neri-and-Hu-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AGAPE_Immersion-Freestanding-Bathtub-Design-by-Neri-and-Hu-1536x1085.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AGAPE_Immersion-Freestanding-Bathtub-Design-by-Neri-and-Hu-2048x1446.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Agape | Immersion Freestanding Bathtub (Design by Neri and Hu)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimalism, ecology, technology: this is the DNA of our modern bathrooms. Not forgetting the touch of glamour offered by a free standing bathtub installed independently in the middle of the room (rather than against the wall). To turn it into a decorative object in its own right, opt for an island or central bathtub to bestow a certain style and character on the whole bathroom. This type of bathtub confers an elegant touch, ranging from the dashingly modernist to the fashionably vintage when it stands on feet. They come in a variety of styles, but all help create a unique experience and time out for the body and soul. This new &#8216;bathing culture&#8217; \u2013 in an atmosphere conceived to relax or reinvigorate the body \u2013 is no longer just about cleanliness and intimacy, but about well-being, health, design and technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7560\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7560\" class=\"center wp-image-7560\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CERAMICHE-REFIN_Cortina-Natural-Collection-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CERAMICHE-REFIN_Cortina-Natural-Collection-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CERAMICHE-REFIN_Cortina-Natural-Collection-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CERAMICHE-REFIN_Cortina-Natural-Collection-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CERAMICHE-REFIN_Cortina-Natural-Collection-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ceramiche Refin | Cortina Natural Collection<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_7570\" style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7570\" class=\"center wp-image-7570\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FALPER_Cristalplant-Bio-Active_Lancetta-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FALPER_Cristalplant-Bio-Active_Lancetta-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FALPER_Cristalplant-Bio-Active_Lancetta-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FALPER_Cristalplant-Bio-Active_Lancetta-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/FALPER_Cristalplant-Bio-Active_Lancetta-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Falper | Cristalplant Bio Active, Lancetta<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bathroom is an ideal &#8216;playground&#8217; for architects and lovers of beautiful materials to explore and display their creative talents.

It is truly ubiquitous: on the floor, on the walls, in the form of tiles or flat surfaces, serving as a shower tray, a basin or a vanity counter top around the sinks&#8230; In the past, marble was synonymous with luxury, but today there is no need to spend huge sums of money to get the look! Naturally chic, it adds a dash of elegance and nobility to any room in the house. After all, as a metamorphic rock used for thousands of years, it certainly has breeding. Each fragment is unique, which makes it a timeless material. It can be adopted in small touches or used for a bold total-look. Its multiple shades and subtle nuances make it the go-to material for architects who like nothing better than to play with the veins with an \u201copen book\u201d installation method for example. White marble with grey, green and\/or black veins guarantees a modern look, but to lend the room even more character, give in to the temptation of dramatic black marble.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7557\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7557\" class=\"center wp-image-7557\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AXOR_Citterio-Aqua-Days-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"800\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AXOR_Citterio-Aqua-Days-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AXOR_Citterio-Aqua-Days-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AXOR_Citterio-Aqua-Days-1536x1082.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AXOR_Citterio-Aqua-Days-2048x1443.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7557\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Axor | Citterio Aqua Days<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_7545\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7545\" class=\"center wp-image-7545\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RVB_Collection-Robinetterie-Andrew-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RVB_Collection-Robinetterie-Andrew-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RVB_Collection-Robinetterie-Andrew-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RVB_Collection-Robinetterie-Andrew-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RVB_Collection-Robinetterie-Andrew-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7545\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">RVB Collection | Fittings Andrew<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Well-designed_furniture\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well-designed furniture<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From appliances and accoutrements used for our daily hygiene or wellness rituals to our collection of fluffy towels: in the bathroom we have a wide variety of objects and accessories that need to be stored without taking up too much space, while still being within easy reach.

Aquatic blue-greens are another obvious choice, a range of colours that have long since been and will stay bathroom staples. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7533\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7533\" class=\"center wp-image-7533\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GERVI_Home-Wellness-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GERVI_Home-Wellness-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GERVI_Home-Wellness-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GERVI_Home-Wellness-1536x1087.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GERVI_Home-Wellness-2048x1449.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gervi | Home Wellness<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_7524\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7524\" class=\"center wp-image-7524\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GROHE_Robinetterie_The-Hide-Hotel-Suisse-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GROHE_Robinetterie_The-Hide-Hotel-Suisse-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GROHE_Robinetterie_The-Hide-Hotel-Suisse-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GROHE_Robinetterie_The-Hide-Hotel-Suisse-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GROHE_Robinetterie_The-Hide-Hotel-Suisse-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7524\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grohe | Robinetterie<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_7503\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7503\" class=\"center wp-image-7503\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DETREMMERIE_Decor-Terracotta.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DETREMMERIE_Decor-Terracotta.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DETREMMERIE_Decor-Terracotta-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/DETREMMERIE_Decor-Terracotta-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7503\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Detremmerie |\u00a0Decor Terracotta<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Squaring_the_circle\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Squaring the circle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The in-thing in 2022 are freestanding angular bathtubs with a rectangular shape. They are certainly giving the oval designer bathtubs that were very popular in previous years a run for their money. One advantage is that they integrate harmoniously into the architecture of the room. As part of a fitted layout or positioned as a centre island, they give a refined style to any bathroom. Minimalist but not austere! The common denominator between all the different models is that they allow you to wallow in luxury.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7536\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7536\" class=\"center wp-image-7536\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KARTELL-BY-LAUFEN.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"800\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KARTELL-BY-LAUFEN.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KARTELL-BY-LAUFEN-768x529.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KARTELL-BY-LAUFEN-1536x1058.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/KARTELL-BY-LAUFEN-2048x1410.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7536\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kartell By Laufen<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_7527\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7527\" class=\"center wp-image-7527\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CARIMAR_Living-Ceramics-Cava-Grey-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CARIMAR_Living-Ceramics-Cava-Grey-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CARIMAR_Living-Ceramics-Cava-Grey-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CARIMAR_Living-Ceramics-Cava-Grey-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CARIMAR_Living-Ceramics-Cava-Grey-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7527\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carimar | Living Ceramics Cava Grey<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Corian_%E2%80%98solid_surface\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corian \u2018solid surface\u2019\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the bathroom, the trend is also shifting towards designer sanitary fittings (often designed by renowned creators such as Philippe Starck or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/fr\/design\/patricia-urquiola\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patricia Urquiola<\/a>). Chromed or black steel, sometimes gold, they have become decorative as well as functional objects. Another material that reigns supreme is Corian. This strange synthetic material is as hard as marble, sometimes matte and milky in appearance and sometimes translucent, and is obtained from a mixture of resistant natural elements and acrylic composites. Its non-porous surface gives it an excellent resistance to abrasions and knocks. It can be incorporated into a contemporary style when combined with stainless steel or granite, or create a more classic finish when married with wood or ceramic.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7521\" style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7521\" class=\"left wp-image-7521\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CORIAN_Double-Washbasin-174-Countertop-Moode-Collection.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CORIAN_Double-Washbasin-174-Countertop-Moode-Collection.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CORIAN_Double-Washbasin-174-Countertop-Moode-Collection-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CORIAN_Double-Washbasin-174-Countertop-Moode-Collection-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/CORIAN_Double-Washbasin-174-Countertop-Moode-Collection-1366x2048.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corian<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_7518\" style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7518\" class=\"right wp-image-7518\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/VOLA_FS1-Mitigeur-Bain.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"533\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/VOLA_FS1-Mitigeur-Bain.jpg 1181w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/VOLA_FS1-Mitigeur-Bain-768x1037.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/VOLA_FS1-Mitigeur-Bain-1138x1536.jpg 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vola | FS1 bath mixer<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shower stalls remain one of the major features of our bathrooms. More practical, more ecological and more water efficient, they take up less room than a bathtub and yet are increasingly spacious. We have a soft spot in particular for the Italian showers with &#8216;Niagara&#8217; showerheads that have pared back the walls or even done away with them completely. In fact, their outsized version is becoming increasingly popular. Some designers are even taking the trend to the extreme by creating double showers, with two shower heads, two trays&#8230;and of course twice the space. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7512\" style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7512\" class=\"left wp-image-7512\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GEBERIT_Receveur-de-Douche-Sestra-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"533\" height=\"761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GEBERIT_Receveur-de-Douche-Sestra-scaled.jpg 1792w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GEBERIT_Receveur-de-Douche-Sestra-768x1097.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GEBERIT_Receveur-de-Douche-Sestra-1075x1536.jpg 1075w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GEBERIT_Receveur-de-Douche-Sestra-1434x2048.jpg 1434w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Geberit | Shower Tray Sestra<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"right wp-image-7506\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/OBUMEX_Realisation-Knokke-Parklaan_\u00a9-Stephanie-Mathias-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Salle de bain\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/OBUMEX_Realisation-Knokke-Parklaan_\u00a9-Stephanie-Mathias-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/OBUMEX_Realisation-Knokke-Parklaan_\u00a9-Stephanie-Mathias-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/OBUMEX_Realisation-Knokke-Parklaan_\u00a9-Stephanie-Mathias-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/OBUMEX_Realisation-Knokke-Parklaan_\u00a9-Stephanie-Mathias-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Obumex | Knokke Parklaan | St\u00e9phanie Mathias<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out of concern for the privacy of its occupants, the bathroom is more often than not situated on the first floor (when there is one), often communicating with the bedroom.
