What type of countertop to choose in the bathroom?
The bathroom worktop was originally intended to protect the piece of furniture on which the basin is placed from splashing water, and to facilitate cleaning. It is therefore often made of marble or natural stone. Like the kitchen worktop, it can also be tiled. With the arrival of exotic species on the market and the development of effective treatments, wood has gradually imposed itself as another classic and in recent years, we have seen the appearance of new materials.
Laminate offers a great alternative to most traditional materials: lightweight, easy to install and maintain, it is available in a wide range of colors and textures.
MDF is another essential material for the bathroom worktop, because it is also light, easy to adapt to all sizes and imitates wood to perfection – which makes it a real asset. in the bohemian, Zen or Scandinavian bathroom. Here, it fits discreetly into a retro vanity unit – and you could almost think it’s an authentic twisted vintage piece.
From now on, the worktop of the bathroom is no longer necessarily placed on a piece of furniture. In a very refined decoration, such as a modern bathroom or a minimalist bathroom, we gladly adopt the suspended plan. The choice of material depends mainly on the aesthetics sought.
This suspended washbasin in matt white mineral cast can be combined with the black washbasin to spruce up the white bathroom, or combined with a designer white washbasin to enhance the waxed concrete bathroom.
Depending on whether it is accessorized with stainless steel or matte black supports, a terrazzo, stone or ceramic basin, this walnut-effect suspended washbasin completely changes its personality. It’s a very safe choice to warm up the bathroom, whether you’ve fallen for the industrial style or for a Zen aesthetic.
The worktop can be an element used to compose custom furniture in the bathroom. Here, it is combined with two independent vanity units to create an original piece of furniture, with a make-up corner. We love this very thick oak-effect chipboard top, creating a set of harmonious proportions.

Bamboo is one of the most suitable wood species for the bathroom, and that’s good: it’s also one of the essential materials of the moment. We love the Tolken washbasin proposed by Ikea, which adapts with the same elegance to white furniture as to colored furniture.
Always so trendy, the marble bathroom! And if the total look is an option, the countertop proves to be sufficient to imprint a precious character on the whole decor.

Among the most beautiful models of the moment: Marmor, a marble-look laminate model proposed by Schmidt.
Does the natural stone bathroom make you melt? Opt for travertine – or for a tile that imitates it. The Via appia model has a very modern 60 x 30 cm format, and it has the advantage of adapting to all coverings: floor, walls and worktop. A very safe choice to adopt the total look!
From the pink bathroom to the sage green bathroom: we love it when the room takes on color! In tone on tone or in contrast with the furniture, the laminate worktop remains a very safe ally.

The Astral laminate countertop is offered with its semi-recessed rectangular basin. This model stands out for its minimalist and very airy design that allows it to adapt to any space. Canon in a large bathroom, it is also well chosen to fit out a bathroom of 4m², or even less. We love its many variations.
