If you don't have a spacious bathroom, it seems thatthat it is simply impossible to make it convenient, beautiful and comfortable. We are sure: this is not so. Today for you - the best tips for arranging a small bathroom It can even be roomy, ergonomic and aesthetically attractive. The main thing is to use all your ingenuity and objective approach when designing it. In this article, we talk about what you can safely get rid of, what, on the contrary, is better to add to the bathroom and, of course, what plumbing to choose for a small area without losing comfort. The right finish The renovation of any room begins with the finish, and the bathroom is no exception. Here it is very important not only to make the right choice of texture, color and other details, but also to make the most of the opportunities that this finish provides. Small tiles will visually make the room more spacious, vertical lines will stretch it upward and “raise” the ceilings, a light palette will also play into your hands. Tiles can also be used for zoning, which is especially important in a combined bathroom: for example, with a general neutral background, you can highlight the sink, toilet, washing machine or shower with a strip of brighter tiles.
Our opinion:— Remember that tiles are not the only option for finishing a bathroom. You can try special plaster, paint or even wallpaper. In the article, we consider in detail examples of using the latter, and discuss what material to choose for finishing the ceiling in the bathroom. Built-in elements The more individual small items in the bathroom (shelves, hooks, baskets, stands, jars and bottles), the more cluttered it seems. To avoid this, install built-in furniture in the bathroom. Try to hide all open shelves and towel holders, for example, in a cabinet behind the mirror. If there are niches in the bathroom, even very small ones, install shelves in them and close them with frosted glass. This way you will organize additional storage space that will not take up extra space and create a feeling of clutter.
Free floor The more in the roomfree floor, the more spacious it looks. Accordingly, in a small bathroom, you should avoid floor furniture and plumbing if possible. Pay attention to suspended options, fortunately today manufacturers offer wall-mounted toilets, sinks and cabinets in abundance. If your bathroom will definitely have a bathtub, then do not cover it with a screen, but choose a model on legs.
Proper lighting Ideally, if yourthe bathroom has at least a small window - natural light makes the space lighter and more spacious. If it is not there, which is almost always the case in old typical houses, do not be upset and create the right light yourself. So, for a small bathroom, spot lighting, evenly distributed around the perimeter, is suitable. Another plus is mirror lighting. Remember that there should be as much light as possible, but at the same time it should remain comfortable, first of all, for you.
Niches and corners When arranging rooms, it iscorners and niches are often unused and unfairly forgotten. Meanwhile, it is with their help that you can place almost twice as many interior items in a tiny bathroom. What can you do with them? Niches will be a great place to install a washing machine, water heater, bedside table or basket for underwear. And in small recesses you can organize shelves for storing small items or towels. Do not forget about the corners: a sink, toilet or even a bathtub can appear in them.
Corner sinks are the perfect solution for the mostsmall bathrooms. They save space, are absolutely comfortable to use and are available in any price category. In order to install them, it is enough to have at least 35 free centimeters on each side of the corner. As a rule, they are wall-mounted, although models with a pedestal also exist in nature. We have studied the range of compact corner washbasins and selected several examples from different manufacturers.

But we are not looking for the truth, especially since in this case it is definitely different for everyone. How to make a choice? For example, ask yourself when you last took a bath. If you find it difficult to answer, then a shower cabin is definitely your option. With its help, you will not only free up additional space, but also. For greater effect, choose doors made of transparent glass instead of frosted.
As a rule, the minimum size of showers is 70x 70 centimeters, but experts recommend choosing models of at least 90 x 90 cm so that it is not cramped inside. You can buy a ready-made cabin or assemble it yourself, adjusting it to the required dimensions. Compact models for every taste and wallet can be found in the brands Delafon, Roca, Heritage Bathrooms, Duka, Glass, Dorff and others.

It is multifunctional and compact at the same time, which is simply irreplaceable in a small bathroom. Just like a shower corner, a combination system can be assembled independently, based on the dimensions of the bathroom and the layout features. Of course, it will take up a little more space than a regular shower cabin, and, most likely, you will have to sacrifice space for a washing machine or a full-fledged sink with a pedestal. But you will get everything you need for washing and spa treatments.
Quite a few brands produce ready-made solutions for combination. Among them are Roca, Golf, Teuco, Albatros and Kohler. The cost of such combination systems varies from 50,000 to 500,000 rubles.

As we have already said earlier, to create space, it is necessary to free up the floor, which means that wall-mounted toilets, bidets and sinks are our everything. The installation system is needed to hide all the pipes and hide everything unsightly behind a false wall. Thanks to this, even a small bathroom will look aesthetically pleasing and will not seem cluttered.
Multifunctionality In limitedIn this space, every thing should be a superhero: perform not one, but two, three or even four functions. Fill every free centimeter, do not leave empty corners - let everything in the bathroom work for you. For example, if you still decide to put a washing machine in the bathroom, then use the space above it for shelves or a mini-dryer. The same goes for the toilet. Are you going to hang a mirror above the sink? Let it not be a simple one, but become a door for a small cabinet.
Our opinion:— Be sure to find a use for the space under the sink. If the bathroom size allows, organize a cabinet with several drawers. If the bathroom is really tiny, we recommend paying attention to the "lazy Susan". This is what they call rotating stands divided into sectors abroad. Most often, these are trays for spices or snacks, but they can be used not only in the kitchen. For example, you can make your own "lazy Susan" under the sink and store shampoos, powder or cleaning products there. Compact plumbing Have you tried all the previous tips, but the necessary minimum still does not fit into a bathroom of several square meters? Radical measures remain - for example, reduce not the quantity (and in no case the quality), but the dimensions of the plumbing. Fortunately, manufacturers have taken care of those who do not have spacious bathrooms, and regularly release lines of compact models of sinks, bathtubs and even toilets.
If you decide to install it in the bathroomcompact toilet, then either wall-hung or specially reduced models will suit you: with a flat tank or a small bowl. Such toilets are produced by Laufen, Jica, Roca, Ideal Standart and other factories. The price range varies from 1,000 to 10,000 rubles.

Of course, an adult can only wash in a compact bathtub while sitting, but such a model is usually deeper. You can find small bathtubs at Glass Design, Roca, Ravak, Jacuzzi and Teuco.
