Along with the kitchen, the bathroom is the place wherewhere the greatest attention is paid to finishing and layout, and size is not a determining factor for the quality of design. It is only important to understand which parameters of the space are key and what the sanitary fixtures should be. With the right approach, there is a clear understanding that a compact interior can and should be comfortable. Since fewer materials are required for finishing compact spaces, the saved funds can be invested in their visual and quality characteristics. The compact but incredibly stylish bathroom in the photo is faced with marble tiles with thin veins, which creates a sense of luxury. The hanging vanity with a sink and a white toilet look laconic and fresh. This interior is not distinguished by impressive dimensions, but the custom-made cabinet - shallow, but wide enough - holds almost everything you need. Built-in lamps on both sides provide comfort during shaving and other procedures, but do not disturb the minimalist harmony of the design.
Most bathrooms have plumbing fixturesThe equipment is installed along the wall and connected to a single riser. This layout is always cheaper and ensures a more efficient distribution of heated water (in the case of using water heaters). The lathing should be about 30 centimeters from the wall to create space for a larger diameter sewer pipe. Bath The size of a standard bathtub, which involves the installation of an apron-facade, is approximately 150 by 80 centimeters. The depth can vary between 30 and 50 centimeters. Toilet To install a toilet, you need a free area of at least 75 centimeters wide, but it is preferable if this parameter fluctuates between 90 and 110 centimeters. Standard washbasin The space requirements in this case are absolutely the same as for a toilet. Double washbasin To install this device, you must ensure that there is a free area of at least 150 centimeters wide. Note All dimensions in the diagram here and below are in inches.
This bathroom doesn't have a shower yet.equipped with neither doors nor curtains. You need to make a choice in favor of one or another option based on your own preferences. A double sink will be very useful if there is only one bathroom in the house. If it is assumed that the bathtub will be used only for taking a shower, it is better to choose a shallow model.
One thing that stands out in this interior isinteresting detail. The countertop, into which the sink is mounted, is extended, forming a narrow shelf above the toilet cistern. Before you start implementing this idea, you need to make sure that the resulting gap will be wide enough for comfortable use of the cistern and unhindered removal of the lid.
The built-in bathtub can be installed ina standard configuration space formed by three walls. It is better to tile the facade, as shown in the photo. It is worth talking separately about the cabinets, in which cosmetics are usually stored, and sometimes medicines. Their depth should be at least 10 centimeters, width and height - about 45 and 75 centimeters, respectively.
The so-called sitz baths fit even inthe smallest rooms. The height of the glazing depends on the user's wishes and some design features. If the shower is equipped with a steam generator, as in this case, the partition should completely cover the opening in the wall. In other situations, it is permissible to leave a gap between the upper edge of the glazing and the ceiling.
Some people don't use bathrooms at all.and make do with just a shower. This position seems very advantageous in terms of space saving and comfort. After all, taking a shower in a closed cabin is much more convenient than standing in a bathtub. The shower cabin in the photo is simply separated from the rest of the space by a glass wall. There is no threshold or step between them. You can even see a rectangular drain grate on the far wall.
Usually, cabins are equipped with thresholds orborders. As a rule, their height does not exceed 10 centimeters, and the width is from 10 to 15 centimeters. Perhaps this design does not look as impressive as the previous one, but from a practical point of view it is more preferable.
Standing on a pedestal, hanging or suchIn this photo, a countertop sink will help create the illusion of space. Models less than 90 centimeters wide are available for sale. It is easy to calculate that to install a shower cabin, toilet and a sink of approximately the same width, the total width of the room should not exceed 2 meters 55 centimeters.
The towel rail is installed at a height of 90 to 100 centimeters from the floor. For lovers of terry sheets, it is better to raise it higher - to a level of 120 to 130 centimeters.
In this version, the toilet and sink have swapped places, which is quite acceptable if the entrance door is located on the opposite wall.
The layout in which the toilet and sink are located opposite the bathtub is quite common. It is desirable that the width of the passage be at least 60 centimeters.
This photo shows an ingenious wayorganization of space in a very narrow room. The compact sink is placed right behind the cream bath. In the deep niches in the wall above the toilet, you can store some things without fear of moisture getting on them.
Another solution for an ultra-compact bathroomrooms. An oval table with a sink and a hanging cabinet are placed in the wall ledge. The toilet is installed very close to the shower stall, but does not interfere with entering and exiting it.
A variety of shapes and sizes of sinksprovides a huge range of options. With bathtubs and toilets, things are a bit more complicated, but in any case, suitable options will always be found. Then everything depends on the designer's imagination and, of course, the solvency of the homeowners.
