A small bathroom is one of the most painful areasany apartment. How to fit everything you need here, where to find a place to store a million necessary things? Let's act decisively: save space with all our might. How? Read our article about the 5 best ways Probably, no one has ever said or thought in the history of design that their bathroom is too big. Saving space is an eternal topic and a headache for both customers and designers. There is never enough space, and now we will try to figure out why this happens and how to fix it.
Get rid of excess
Start with the basics.Where did you get a whole collection of robes? Samples of cosmetics that are older than your children? Six types of shower gels and 13 shampoos? It’s no wonder there’s not much room here. Let’s think about what’s really necessary in a bathroom. The bathtub itself, of course, or a more compact shower. A mirror and good lighting in the area around it. A rug — stepping on a cold, slippery floor is unpleasant and dangerous. Soap and the cosmetics you regularly use. A towel — well, okay, a couple of towels for each family member. Everything else can be considered unnecessary.
Our opinion:— Keep cleaning supplies on hand, but it doesn’t have to be a bucket and mop. Wet wipes or sponges are also good for light, everyday surface cleaning. And a clean room always looks better (and bigger).
Reduce the size of the plumbing
Let's try to reduce the largest objects inroom. It looks lighter and allows you to use the space underneath. A shower instead of a bathtub saves not only space, but also water. And consider installing a small sink - a corner sink or at least a rounded one, and maybe even one with the faucet located on the end.
Organize trivia
Make sure everything you need is easy to get to.Think about dividers, for example. Keep only daily-use items on free surfaces - a toothbrush, soap. It makes sense to store toiletries in an organizer or on a shelf directly in the shower. And don't forget about open shelves and using niches to store small items.
Our opinion:— Organize the space inside your cabinets, too — place bottles on a stand at the back wall to make them easier to reach, or use a rotating tray — in English it’s called Lazy Susan, or “Lazy Susan,” and it will allow you to work just a little less than usual to tidy up.
Add Light
Remember all the useful ones - light colors,glossy surfaces, mirrors in the interior. If possible, use more than one lamp. There are three types of lighting - general, functional and accent, respectively, these roles can be performed by ceiling built-in lamps, sconces above the sink and, for example, candles in dark corners.
Choose comfort
It's hard to relax in a cramped space, so there's a shortageplaces should be balanced with an excess of comfort. Put a soft rug on the floor, hang bright and fluffy towels, add your favorite decor - a painting or a figurine. And let even the shower curtain make you smile every day.
