Unfortunately, bathroom space is very limited in many modern apartments. Of course, in new buildings, bathrooms are usually larger and more comfortable than in Khrushchev, but nevertheless, their area is also only 3-4 square meters. But in the bathroom, as in the whole house, you want to feel free, cozy and comfortable. Be able to easily move around the room, and conveniently arrange all the necessary things. And of course, we dream that the room was beautiful and stylish. With the right approach, all this is possible.
Proper layout
Successful repair depends on competent planning. One of the main principles of the arrangement of objects is the principle of symmetry. When the area of the bathroom is large, you can put two washbasins - this is more convenient for a large family, when you can wash your face at the same time. It is recommended to separate the toilet or bidet area with a partition, or put them in a separate room.Do not place them in front of the front door.
The shower room can be combined with a sauna and placed in the middle of the room. You can choose a classic bath or a spacious Jacuzzi. It is also worth considering in advance where to place the washing machine. Tips for planning your bathroom design:
- It is worth starting the layout by connecting the toilet to the sewer. It is reasonable to place it and the bidet next to each other. Water at the bathroom and sink is drained using flexible pipes, so their position is not so important, it is easier to adjust it.
- Make good lighting, it simplifies hygiene procedures, and gives the bathroom a romantic look.
- Pay attention to the selection of handles, faucets and other small accessories - they form the "mood" of the bathroom.
- Plumbing is desirable to select in one color.
- It is convenient to provide handles next to the bathtub that you can hold on to. This is especially useful in a home where an elderly person lives.
Important! The size of the bath should ideally fit the growth. Or better to be a little less. Because in a large bathroom, in which the legs do not rest against the wall, there is more risk of slipping and choking. These tips will help you plan your bathroom the right way. It's also helpful to watch a few renovation and design videos to better understand if the ideas you've chosen are right for you.
Small bathroom
All the Khrushchevs of our country have such a bathroom. With design and convenience here, of course, it will be more difficult than in a large area. However, there are options for optimizing space. You should choose them depending on your preferences. For example, if you do not like a bath, you can replace it with a shower cabin, freeing up space in this way.For example, a place for household supplies or a washing machine. If the area of the bathroom does not allow you to install a washing machine, you can put it in the kitchen or in the hallway.
In a small area, it is worth choosing the right mirror and sink - both items with shelves and a cabinet for storing cosmetics and other necessary hygiene products are preferable. Also in the bathroom you can place a mechanism for drying clothes, which allows you to lower the rope down to the level of growth when necessary, and raise it to the very top so as not to interfere with taking a shower.
A radical way to increase the area of the bathroom is to demolish the wall between the bathroom and the toilet and combine them. This also has its advantages, in such a bathroom everything is nearby, and it is easier to clean it. A little imagination, studying the range of sanitary ware and furniture for the bathroom, as well as preliminary thinking through the interior will help you make both large and small bathrooms comfortable and stylish.
