  Bold and beautiful, the water closets offer clean simple lines and contemporary styling suitable for any bathroom.

  Another option is an avant-garde music shower, which not only enables you to flip your hair in the shower to your favourite tunes, but also answer important calls.

• Ornament it with faucets: To recreate the charm and elegance of the yesteryears, move beyond the contemporary sleek styling, and look towards Neo-Rococo period.
