Interior of a small bathroom

The ideal repair of a small bathtub should start with the idea of ​​the correct and compact placement and storage of things:

• In a confined space, it is necessary to adhere to the rule: use the bath only for the intended purpose. Due to lack of organization and well-established habits, decorative cosmetics, a large number of various shower gels and shampoos, when only one, detergent, clothes for washing, cleaning products and the like is enough, often come here. By placing all these things in special lockers or cabinets, you will significantly increase the room space not only visually, but also in fact.
• For the design of small rooms, the Minimalism style is ideal.
• Colored ornaments, a large number of details that are characteristic of the Baroque style will only make the small room even closer. Gowns, ruches, complex curls and roses are also not your option. It is more appropriate to look clear lines of decor and objects.
• A good way to visually expand the room is to place the wall mirror well.

Important! Remember that the mirror in conditions of high humidity always sweats. And an important condition for stylish bathroom repair is the cleanliness of floors, walls, faience and glass.

• Another way of visual expansion of space is to decorate the interior of the room with light tones with bright accents.

Important! Do not get carried away with pure white color, because in an absolutely white room it's hard to be too long. In addition, such a finish will require more careful care. It is better to choose a light shade of any other color and complement the room with contrasting elements or more saturated shades of the same color.

• It is worth noting that in the design of rooms the same rule applies as for the design of clothing. The horizontal bars will make your room visually wider, and the vertical bars will lift the ceilings higher.
• In small bathrooms it is better to use built-in furniture instead of floor or wall-mounted lockers. It is also possible to mount the shelves in such a way that they completely cover the wall and they are an entire canvas without gaps.

Important! From words, it seems that such an option will only reduce the space. In fact, a sense of tightness is created by a large number of detached objects. Solid rows of shelves are perceived as a single whole, so visually the bathroom will appear more spacious. For the same reason, the psychological perception of space, everything that can be hidden in the closet, must necessarily be hidden there.

• You can equip a mirror in the bathroom with a spotlight, but do not give up on top lighting. If the light fills the room evenly, it will appear wider.
• Doors that open inside also "steal" an already limited space. Therefore, in a small bathroom it is recommended to equip the door so that it opens outward or replaces it with a sliding model. The latter option will be most convenient.

Stylish bathroom repair

One way to expand the bathroom space is to combine it with the toilet. The most popular layout options in this case are:

• Simple - in the width of the room is a bathroom, all the rest of the furniture is built along the longest wall.
• Without corners - a "niche" around the tub of a semicircular shape is formed. Although some of the useful space with such a combination is "eaten up", but this is easily compensated by using a large mirror.

Important! If a large family lives in an apartment, then such a decision to expand the bathroom space is not too convenient. In this case, it is recommended to use a decorative screen, which should completely hide in the cabinet after the end of the bath procedures.

Such a curtain looks much more attractive than an oil screen, when not used visually does not overload the space of the room.

How to decorate a corner bathroom?

A compromise solution in a small room is the installation of a corner bath. Placing such a bathroom in the room of any layout does not cause many questions - it must be installed in the corner. The rest of the rules for the design of such a bathroom remain the same as in the case of a standard oval bath.

Important! Modern corner baths can have a wide variety of configurations: oval, square, round( not considered the best option for tight rooms), have a curved shape.

Perfect bathroom renovation. Choosing furniture

A prerequisite for all furniture in the bathroom is its moisture resistance. Whatever the size of the room, in whatever style you plan to make out the bathroom, the furniture must meet this criterion. Otherwise - a year after the purchase it will need to be completely changed.

As a rule, furniture in the bathroom is made of the following materials:

• MDF.
• Plastic.
• chipboard.
• Natural or artificial stone.
• Glass.

Important! Natural wood is a beautiful and practical material, however, for typical bathrooms in our conditions, furniture made of natural wood can not stand tightness and high humidity. Therefore, it is better to choose the more practical and moisture-resistant materials.

Shelves or cabinets?

In a cramped room, there is no room for free-standing cabinets. The ideal solution in this case will be a built-in closet to the ceiling.

Important! The mirror walls of the cabinet visually increase the space of the room. However, consider that they will require you to take care of yourself every day.

You can replace the cabinets with a single rack with open shelves with sliding doors or without them at all.

Basket for laundry

To store laundry before washing in a washing machine is not an option in a small bathroom. The basket in this question is much more convenient. However, from the room for hygienic procedures it is better to move it to another room, for example, to the storeroom. The main thing in this case is that the laundry basket does not stand out against the general background.

Important! You can hide the basket in the built-in locker. The same method can be applied to a washing machine, if it is with front loading.

Mirror:

• Choose a mirror flat and wall, the maximum size. Better - that he would not be accompanied by any lockers.
• For a small bathroom, the ideal option would be a full-length mirror.
• You can abandon the mirror as an interior item and equip the room with a mirrored wall. But this method is suitable only for those who are not afraid of the prospect of washing large mirror planes.

Important! There are models of mirrors covered with a special film that effectively prevents their fogging. Although they are more expensive than usual, but their service life is much longer. Perhaps it is worth saving your energy and money on household chemicals for cleaning and purchasing a "adapted" to a high humidity mirror.

Useful accessories

All accessories that are necessary for the convenience of hygienic procedures such as a toothbrush holder, a bottle for liquid soap, soap dish, must necessarily be combined in color with the walls.

Important! The same rule should apply to towels and bathrobes. Of these, you should not make accents in the room.

Bathroom design with shower cabin

The installation of a shower instead of a full bath is also a very popular option for organizing space in typical bathrooms.

Important! The minimum size of a familiar bathroom is about 140 cm, the shower booth occupies only 70 cm of space.

If refusal to take a bath is not an option for you, then you can install a shower with a sitting bath in the lower part. Of course, you can not relax completely and lie down in it, but you can sit and soak in hot water.

Important! The walls of the shower cubicle are better to choose from transparent glass - so you can increase the visual space. If the room is rather big, then a matte glass will fit in well. In any case, a prerequisite is the cleanliness of the surfaces. Only so the shower will not attract too much attention to itself and completely dissolve in the interior.

Choose the tile

Most often as a finishing material for the bathroom prefer tiles, and this is fully justified by its characteristics. To get the result in a perfect bathroom renovation, when choosing a tile, consider the following nuances:

• The size of the tile should depend on the area of ​​the room. In a smaller room, you should choose a smaller sized tile, and vice versa.

Important! In this case, the psychological perception is triggered: we see the number of tiles, not their size. The more tiles, the larger the space seems.

• Mosaic - ideal for the smallest rooms. However, it is not necessary to go overboard with the number and brightness of the colors, because a bright kaleidoscope will only reduce the room.
• Not very good idea is to lay the lower part of the walls with dark tiles, and the top part - light. This method only divides the space, and it is better to unite it.
• Glossy tiles due to the reflection of light visually increase the space. In large bathrooms, you can use matte, which is easier to care for.
