A new bathroom in a detached house with KEUCO
A spacious bathroom with a floor-level shower and bath tub, a light-filled bedroom and a practical workplace - the Belfqih couple have fulfilled their personal living dream through a major renovation of their home. After the children left the house, Kordula & Mohammed Belfqih decided to completely renovate the upper floor of their home in Krefeld and to restructure it completely. It all started with the desire to have a modern and comfortable bathroom. Tailored to the new needs of a two-person household: The couple have imagined bright and spacious rooms for their newly designed floor. Planner Bettina Bickert from Plankreis in Krefeld ( www.plankreis.com ) had the exciting task of creating a new living atmosphere. Modern elements with oriental influences should be incorporated into the planning, because the Belfqihs combine Westphalian lifestyle with Moroccan traditions.

For the best result, rooms were merged and the floor restructured: The two children’s rooms now form the sleeping area with a walk-in wardrobe. The former parents’ bedroom and bathroom were combined into one room. Today, the new, spacious bathroom can be found here. A workstation is located in the corridor between the rooms.
The family’s bathroom was last renovated around 20 years ago. The 90s interior had to give way to contemporary interiors. For the plastered sand-coloured walls, Bettina Bickert chose a ceramic washbasin and white, high-gloss EDITION 400 bathroom furniture from KEUCO, which provide plenty of storage space, with matching chrome-plated fittings and Accessories. With its strikingly elegant slimline and all-round aluminium frame, the light mirror of the EDITION 400 stands out above the wash bay.
The large LED light mirror visually enlarges the room and impresses the couple with special functions: The light can be dimmed and the light colour adjusted steplessly via a discreet, intelligent sensor control: from bright white daylight for ideal everyday beauty care to warm white light for a perfect evening makeup or an atmospheric bathroom setting. The integrated mirror heating is particularly practical after showering to prevent the mirror from misting up.
The large floor-level shower is separated by a glass shower wall and gives the room extra depth. Bettina Bickert planned to use IXMO mixer taps in a minimalist and design-driven way. "IXMO fits perfectly into the bathroom design of the Belfqihs, as it unusually consistently implements the lightness of fittings. Not only in terms of design, but also because the number of modules can be reduced to a minimum," says the planner. The clever bundling of functions enables the reduction of fittings on the wall. Whether round or square: The rosettes have a consistent side length or diameter of 90 mm and the projection is always 80 mm. IXMO fittings are multi-talented in minimalist design. Only two IXMO mixer tap modules are required for the shower and hand shower.
The EDITION 400 aluminium shower shelf surprises with an invisible “docking station” for the glass wiper. Harmoniously integrated into the design, it prevents the shower items from falling down. A practical everyday hero from KEUCO.
The couple Belfqih are very satisfied with the result: "We really enjoy spending time in our bathroom now. And what’s more: the surfaces are very easy to clean. The new bright and spacious living atmosphere gives us a better quality of life," says Kordula Belfqih.
