Perfect repair - bathroom

Having started the internal transformation of the apartment, everyone is striving to make a perfect repair. The bathroom is often too cramped. Such a disadvantage arises not so much because of the small number of square meters, but because of the incorrectly organized interior space. Even the smallest rooms for hygienic procedures can be turned into a model of design thought. The main principle in this case is getting rid of everything unnecessary. In this article, we will consider the most successful options for a stylish bathroom repair.

The interior of a small bathroom

An ideal repair of a small bathtub should begin with the idea of ​​correctly and compactly storing and storing things:

• In confined spaces, you should adhere to the rule: use the bath only for its intended purpose. Due to disorganization and established habits, decorative cosmetics, a large number of various shower gels and shampoos, when only one is enough, washing powder, clothes for washing, cleaning products and the like, often get here. By placing all these things in special cabinets or cabinets, you will significantly increase the space of the room not only visually, but actually.
• For the design of small rooms, the minimalism style is ideal.
• Colorful ornaments, a large number of details that are characteristic of the Baroque style will only make the small room even more crowded. Ruffles, ruffles, complex curls and roses are also not your option. Clear lines of decor and objects will look more appropriate here.
• A good way to visually expand the room is to successfully place a wall mirror.

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

• Another way to visually expand the space is to design the interior of the room in light tones with bright accents.

Important! Do not get carried away with pure white, because it is difficult to stay in an absolutely white room for 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 should be noted that when designing premises, the same rule works as when designing clothes. Horizontal stripes will make your room visually wider, and vertical stripes will “raise” ceilings above.
• In small bathrooms, it is better to use built-in furniture instead of floor or wall cabinets. You can also mount the shelves so that they completely cover the wall and be a solid canvas without gaps.

Important! According to the words, it seems that such an option will only reduce the space. In fact, a feeling of crampedness is created by a large number of freestanding objects. Solid rows of shelves are perceived as a single unit, so visually the bathroom will seem more spacious. For the same reason of the psychological perception of space, everything that can be hidden in a closet must be hidden there.

• You can equip the mirror in the bathroom with spotlights, but you should not refuse from the top lighting. If the light evenly fills the room, then it will appear wider.
• Doors that open inwards also “steal” an already limited space. Therefore, in a small bathroom, it is recommended to equip the door so that it opens outward or replace it with a sliding model. The last option will be the most convenient.

Stylish bathroom repair

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

• Simple - there is a bathroom in the width of the room, all the rest of the furniture is lined up along the longest wall.
• Without corners - a “niche” is formed around the semicircular bathtub. Although part of the usable space is “eaten up” with such a combination, it can easily be compensated for with a large mirror.

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

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

How to design a corner bathroom?

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

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

Perfect bathroom repair. Choosing furniture

A prerequisite for all furniture in the bathroom is its moisture resistance. No matter what the size of the room, no matter what style you plan to design the bathroom, furniture should 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, natural wood furniture cannot stand crowding and high humidity. Therefore, it is better to opt for more practical and moisture resistant materials.

Shelves or cabinets?

There is no room in a cramped room with freestanding cabinets. The ideal solution in this case would be a built-in wardrobe to the ceiling.

Important! Mirrored walls of the cabinet will visually increase the space of the room. However, keep in mind that they will require daily care from you.

Cabinets can be replaced with a complete rack with open shelves with sliding doors or without them at all.

Laundry basket

To store linen before washing in a washing machine is not an option in a small bathroom. The basket in this matter is much more convenient. However, it is better to move it from the room for hygienic procedures to another room, for example, to the pantry. 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 cabinet. The same technique can be applied to a washing machine if it is front-loading.

Mirror:

• Choose a mirror flat and wall, the maximum size. Better not to have any lockers accompanying him.
• For a small bathroom, a full-length mirror is ideal.
• You can abandon the mirror as an interior item and equip the room with a mirror wall.But this technique is suitable only for those who are not afraid of the prospect of laundering large mirror planes.

Important! There are models of mirrors coated with a special film, which effectively prevents their fogging. Although they cost more than usual, their service life is much longer. It may be worth saving your energy and household cleaning supplies and purchasing a mirror “adapted” to high humidity.

Useful accessories

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

Important! The same rule should apply to towels, bathrobes. Of these, you should not emphasize the room.

Bathroom design with shower

Installing 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; a shower cabin occupies only 70 cm of space.

If refusing to take a bath is not an option for you, then you can install a shower cabin with a sitting bathtub in the lower part. Of course, it will not be possible to completely relax and lie in it, but it is quite possible to sit and soak in the hot water.

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

Choose a tile

Most often, tiles are preferred as a finishing material for a bathroom, and this is completely justified by its characteristics. To get the perfect bathroom repair in the end, 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 tile, and vice versa.

Important! In this case, 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, do not go too far with the number and brightness of colors, because a bright kaleidoscope will only reduce the room.
• Not a very good idea is to lay out the bottom of the walls with dark tiles, and the top part with light tiles. This technique only divides the space, but it is better to combine it.
• Glossy tiles due to the reflection of light visually increase the space. In large bathrooms you can use matte, which is easier to clean.

How to make a stylish bathroom repair?

There are so many design styles today that it can be very difficult to figure them out and find the right one:

• Retro design is suitable for large bathrooms.
• Glitter and gold in the decoration of the interior, as well as elaborate ornaments and plentiful draperies, will also be appropriate in large rooms. A modern person living in a house with a typical layout will have to abandon such decorative elements in order to save space.
• The best for a typical bathroom would be Hi-tech and Minimalism design.
• The Classic, slightly adapted to the dimensions of the room, also looks great.

Important! The current trends of modern design are smooth or clean straight lines, practicality and a minimal amount of detail.
