Modern Sanitaryware

Among the most popular options, the wall-hung or base washbasin stands out for its sleek design and space-saving. Ideal for minimalist bathrooms, it allows for flexible installation and easy cleaning. For smaller spaces, the corner washbasin or corner washbasin fits in perfectly, while maintaining a modern touch. Lovers of industrial design will opt for an industrial-style washbasin, while those looking for a more classic solution can choose a ceramic washbasin or a copper washbasin, which are renowned for their resistance and ease of maintenance.

If you prefer a more traditional installation, the countertop washbasin or countertop washbasin offers great stability and harmonious integration with bathroom furniture. The shapes vary from round to rectangular washbasin, oval or square washbasin, to suit all tastes. For a more sophisticated effect, the designer washbasin or undermount washbasin adds a touch of originality, while the double washbasin is perfect for families or shared bathrooms.

The different shapes of washbasins for a modern bathroom

The choice of a washbasin depends above all on the space available and the desired style. A small sink is suitable for compact bathrooms, while a large or double sink is a must in more spacious rooms. Built-in models such as the undermount or semi-recessed washbasin fit perfectly into a worktop, offering a neat finish and great practicality. For lovers of clean lines, the single washbasin or vanity size washbasin adds a minimalist touch, while the corner washbasin or mini size washbasin makes the most of small spaces.

Materials also play a key role in the final rendering. Ceramic remains a timeless choice for a retro washbasin, combining durability and aesthetics. Ceramic washbasin models are available in a wide range of finishes, from classic white to bolder shades. For a more contemporary look, some opt for materials such as copper, especially with an industrial washbasin.

Finally, the combination with bathroom furniture can enhance the whole. A double vanity unit or a single vanity unit perfectly complements the washbasin, while providing additional storage space. The wall-hung or countertop models adapt to all configurations, for a bathroom that is both functional and design.

Wc and bidets: modern sanitary facilities for optimal comfort

Beyond washbasins, modern sanitary ware also includes solutions for toilets and bidets. The freestanding toilet remains a classic, easy to install and maintain. For a more contemporary design, suspended models are gaining in popularity, offering a feeling of space and enhanced hygiene. Bidets, on the other hand, are making a comeback in modern bathrooms, with options like the countertop bidet or hanging bidets.

At Bleu Provence, we offer a selection of modern bidets and toilets, combining aesthetics and functionality. The Twiggy freestanding bidet impresses with its sleek design, while the hanging Twiggy bidet adds a touch of lightness to the room. For a matching bidet faucet, our range offers a variety of finishes, from chrome to matte black, to match the rest of the bathroom.

The installation of a modern bidet or toilet is not only about aesthetics: it also improves comfort in everyday life. Today’s models incorporate technologies such as silent flushing or water-saving systems, for more sustainable use. Whether you’re renovating an existing bathroom or creating a new one, these amenities fit any style, from classic to contemporary.

Ceramic is a durable and easy-to-maintain material, making it an ideal choice for a retro or modern sink. It is resistant to shocks, scratches and common cleaning products.
