At Bathroomguru Review we are constantly on the lookout for new and innovative ideas for your bathroom to inspire and challenge our readers. One online resource that we frequent is Trendhunter.com which looks at emerging trends in many different fields from around the world. While browsing through their archives I recently came across an article entitled "56 bold bathroom décor ideas". While there was some cutting edge, bold and inspirational washroom ideas, the one that caught my eye was the article on “one piece bathrooms”. With traditional lavatory design, everything in your bathroom is either built in or somehow hung from your restroom walls. But Undpartner, an Australian company, would like to challenge your concept of what is a conventional bathroom space with its one-piece-bath concept called of all things, the Panay.

"Summary: For those that have a small bathroom with limited bathroom space, the Panay is a one-piece modular bathroom unit that combines a shower, bath tub, sink, mirror and vanity into one compact bath unit that will save you floor space.. This is a great space saver for powder rooms or half baths due to its small size and modular design."

The Panay was designed to use wall and floor space better than a traditional bathroom by running all plumbing pipes underneath the structure, which in essence allows you to use it as a self contained or stand alone bath unit. Essentially, it is a modular one piece sculptural unit made of wood that effectively combines a shower, bathtub and vanity sink with a mirror into a compact beautiful piece of contemporary bath furniture.

The nice thing about the Panay is its versatility. It can be integrated into your regular bathroom space or you can up the ante by adding one of these self contained bath units into your guestroom or powder-room to increase the value of your home and also offer the “wow” factor to potential buyers or guests. For those with limited bathroom space, this low footprint unit is a space saving trendsetter. You can also enhance the openness of your lavatory space by placing the Panay in the middle of your masterbath, offering you an unobstructed and free flowing space around the unit, like you would a soaking tub in the middle of your bathroom.

With its compact and elegant modular space saving design that merges your daily bathroom tasks into a logical flow of events, the Panay not only breaks the convention of traditional bath design, it also challenges the way we habitually use our bathrooms.
