Reflecting on the repair in the bathroom, it often turns out that our design fantasy is disappearing somewhere or just stalling, and a small space creates a big puzzle for us. And how I would like to make the bathroom both beautiful and comfortable. In this article, we will tell you in detail how to plan a combined bathroom in a small apartment and optimize a small space, create a harmonious interior for a small bath.
How to choose a plumbing for a small bath?
First of all, when planning a small bathroom room, you should think about the need for a bath in it. After all, in order to save space, the bathtub can not be installed. The bathtub can be equipped with a shower cabin or a shower cabin. Choosing the right size of the cabin, you can save a lot of space. Something between the booth and the bathroom is a shower box. He, of course, more shower cubicle, but, nevertheless, less than a bath. There is another convenient option - a shower room with a pressurized door.
If you still want the tub to stay, you can leave it, but you will need to pick up its non-standard shape or small size, on average from 150 to 120 cm. You can install it in the corner and save, as well as and adjust the space of the bathroom. In this way, you can place something else in the vacant space.
Which is better to choose a toilet bowl?
Something to think up with a toilet is difficult, because in a shared bathroom without it can not do, and in a small bathroom it is unlikely to get a bidet. Therefore, if you want to have this object, you better choose a toilet that also performs bidet function.
Washbasin selection
Limited to one sink, you can also save space in your small bathroom. If you install a mini-sink, you can save a lot of space. Choosing a hanging sink, you can increase the free space of the bathroom. The novelty of the plumbing market is the sink over the washing machine. This is the best option for small baths. The sink over the washing machine will allow you to put the washing machine in even the smallest bathroom.
Interior for a small bathroom: a choice of furniture
The placement of furniture in the bathroom is also problematic, since it takes up too much free space. Therefore, in the case of a small bathroom it is better to use a minimum of furniture.
The best option would be if instead of cabinets for bath accessories, cosmetics and household chemicals hang open shelves on the walls. Hang a single horizontal shelf or place a few on the perimeter of the bathroom under the ceiling. The horizontal shelf will allow you to visually move the walls. And if you hang a vertical glass shelf, then it will make the room higher.
In a bathroom with small dimensions, you need to make the most of all corners. Save space and ideally fit in the interior of the bath corner shelves, however, like the rest of the corner fittings, which is suitable for storing many things.
How to expand the space of the bathroom with the help of design techniques?
Picking the best plumbing and furniture, you can apply optical techniques to expand the space of the bathroom.
1. Tile for finishing.
Visually expand the space can tile a small format. If you make a tile lengthwise or make a wall tiling with mosaic panels, then the same effect will be created.
2. Lighting.
If you set daylight, the bathroom will seem bigger. The window in the bathroom (if it is) can be hung with a light transparent curtain letting in the sunlight. In the absence of a window, install fluorescent lights and spotlights for greater illumination of the bathroom.
3. Mirrors.
Optically expand the space can mirror doors of shelves and cabinets, as well as hanging mirrors, especially if they are placed in the corners of the bathroom.
Properly planned design of the bathroom and toilet, the use of photographs of ready-made design projects - this is perhaps the two main things that you will need for your own bathroom project. A little non-standard thinking and a flight of fantasy will transform your small tight bathroom into a beautiful, neat and cozy bathroom.
