If you’re seeking innovation and sophistication for your bathroom’s aesthetics and functionality, we know we can deliver, specialising in every kind of bathroom space from spa-like ensuites, luxurious yet practical family bathrooms, to the often overlooked but essential component of your bathroom – the water closet, or WC.
Understanding the WC
The term ‘WC’ is an abbreviation of ‘water closet’, a name given to a room or a part of a room used primarily for the installation of a toilet. Not the most glamourous element of any bathroom, historically, this was a term used to denote a lavatory with a flush toilet, as opposed to other types of facilities such as outhouses or latrines. The term ‘WC’ is still used today, and particularly in professional design and architectural circles, usually referring specifically to the area of the bathroom where the toilet is situated.
Significance of WC Design
Whilst you might not give too much thought to it, the WC is more than a necessary utility. It’s an integral part of your home that should complement your personal style and cater to your specific needs. Good design enhances functionality, ensures maximum comfort, and also pays attention to aesthetics. In fact, a well-designed WC can add value to your property, improve the experience of using the facility, and can even inspire conversation among visitors!
Expert WC Design Advice
At Opulenza, we know that the cornerstone of a great WC design lies in its optimal use of space. Even in the most compact of bathrooms, intelligent design can create an illusion of spaciousness, ensuring that your WC is both practical and comfortable.
Lighting also plays a crucial role in enhancing the ambiance of your WC. The right lighting can make your space appear larger, but even more, it can also help create a calm and relaxing atmosphere.
Quality fixtures, such as the toilet and sink, are another important aspect of WC design. Choosing fixtures that are durable, functional, and in sync with the overall style of your bathroom is paramount. Our team of expert designers at Opulenza can help with this, and also recommend water-saving fixtures, which are environmentally friendly and which can save you money on your water bills.
Diverse WC Styles and Features
The WC can reflect a wide array of styles, from traditional and classic to modern and minimalist. Whether you prefer the ornate details of a Victorian-inspired design, the sleek lines of a contemporary WC, or anything in between, our experts at Opulenza can make your vision a reality.
Classic WCs typically feature high-level cisterns and pull chains, along with other ornamental details that lend a sense of period charm. For a more modern aesthetic, consider a hidden cistern WC with a wall-mounted toilet. This option offers a clean, streamlined look, but also makes cleaning easier and provides more floor space.
Alternatively, for those who favour luxury and comfort, consider the addition of cutting-edge features like heated seats, bidet functionality, or even smart toilets that incorporate automatic flushing, self-cleaning mechanisms, and touch-free operation.
