How to design a bathroom if it is not differentlarge dimensions? It is important to create a comfortable and beautiful space so that there is no feeling of darkness and crampedness. With the help of color, light, texture and some interior items, you can adjust a small space. It is important to choose high-quality materials for its design and take into account all the little things, even such as a garbage container, a paper and towel holder, a toilet brush.
Choosing plumbing
When furnishing a toilet room, special attention should be paidPay attention to quality plumbing. It is not necessary to stick to the classics and buy a white earthenware toilet. Choose the shape and color depending on the overall color scheme and style of the room. In order to save space, buy corner suspended models that are easy to install close to the wall. They look attractive and are also compact, although their flush tank is the same volume as a traditional toilet. If space allows, install an additional corner sink. This option is also suitable for combined bathrooms, which allows you to save 10-15 cm. Our opinion If the bathroom is combined, to save space and create a visual effect of airiness, instead of a bathtub, we suggest you install a shower stall with transparent doors.
How to hide pipes and a riser in a small bathroom
The riser and sewer pipes are unchangedbathroom attributes that often spoil the overall appearance. To hide them, cover the walls in this part of the room with sandwich panels. They are attached with screws, and if necessary, if you need access to shut-off valves and pipes, they can be easily disassembled. You can disguise the communications using a box made of plasterboard or wood. It will be ideal if you paste over the box with tiles or moisture-resistant wallpaper so that it fits well into the overall style. A cabinet of the appropriate size can also solve the problem of an open riser and pipes. Choose it according to the dimensions you need or make it to order. In the lower and upper parts of the cabinet, you need to cut holes for the pipes. Our opinion Any communications can be made invisible using ceramic tiles and a metal frame made of profiles. Regardless of how you disguise the communications, make sure that they are easy to get to in the event of an accident or to read the meter.
Expanding the space
Correctly selected color combinationsvisually change the space. The walls in a small bathroom will visually expand thanks to cool light colors (pearl, gray-blue and pale green, as well as white, yellow and blue). The room will look more spacious if you use a cool blue-green or beige-orange shade in the wall decoration. When decorating a small bathroom, pay attention to the finishing materials. A large pattern visually reduces the space, while a small one increases it. Small mosaic tiles are ideal for a bathroom. Glossy surfaces on the ceiling and floor create a feeling of spaciousness. Our opinion Do not use dark colors in the decoration of the toilet walls if you want it to seem visually larger. This does not mean that dark colors are not suitable for bathrooms. They are very suitable (the room begins to look like a cute little box), but we are now talking about expanding the space.
Light in a small bathroom
Don't limit yourself to one light bulb. Use spotlights around the perimeter of the ceiling. Organize lighting for the lower corners, mirrors, or shelves. This will visually make the room more spacious.
Finishing materials
The simplest and most proven finishing methodbathroom – painting. To ensure a durable, reliable and moisture-resistant coating, choose latex or water-dispersion paints. Modern technologies allow the use of ceramics, artificial and natural stone, glass, metal, plastic, wood, plaster and even moisture-resistant wallpaper in bathroom finishing. Glass tiles look attractive in a small bathroom. In addition to the fact that this material has excellent performance characteristics, it allows you to visually expand the space. A coating with a holographic pattern makes it possible to create incredibly effective compositions. It can be combined with ordinary ceramic tiles: they match each other in thickness. Our opinion If your apartment with a bathroom is in a Khrushchev-era building, do not use natural stone in wall decoration: it is a fairly heavy material. The walls may not withstand such a load. Use it as an accent in combination with wood. It is also not recommended to use natural stone in floor finishing, as it is fragile and becomes slippery when wet. In this case, a good alternative would be its imitation.
Accessories
In a small bathroom, everything is important, right down tolittle things. Try to choose compact, color-coordinated brushes, trash cans, and paper and towel holders. Transform the room, use a beautiful rug to make the bathroom cozy. Our opinion A small hanging cabinet installed above the toilet is an excellent solution for saving space. And all the "extra" items can be hidden there.
Note!
Buy materials for the bathroom with increasedmoisture resistance and resistance to aggressive cleaning agents. They should also have anti-corrosion properties. Follow the basic principles of creating a design for small spaces: choose the right lighting, use light shades in the decoration and do not clutter the space with unnecessary objects.
