How to equip a small bathroom: 5 effective tips

One-room apartments are in demand on the marketReal estate is the most because of their relative availability. And then, the Khrushchev and small houses in the panel houses still have not gone away, so they usually come in very close bathrooms with their area ranging from 1 to 4-5 square meters. m. And it is very difficult to equip them so that they were not only convenient, but also beautiful. Tip # 1:a shower cabin instead of a bath When equipping a tiny bathroom, if possible, replace the actual bath (it takes up the most space) with a shower. At the same time, it is better not to buy a cabin in a store (it is also quite cumbersome), but to make it to order; then lay out the tiles in the shower area under a slight slope, equip a competent drain and install light doors (you can even glass doors - visually this will make the space larger). It is such a shower that will take up the least space in your bathroom. Tip # 2:washing machine outside the bathroom If the bathroom is not more than 1-2 sq. m, you can save space in it by picking up a narrow washing machine or even installing it in the hallway or in the kitchen - depending on which place is most suitable for your layout. Usually in the hallways there is a small nook in which the machine will fit without problems. Tip # 3:tall narrow cabinets The fact that it is inappropriate to clutter the bathroom with furniture is obvious. But then what to do with all those little things that are stored in abundance in them? It's simple. Choose very narrow cabinets from ceiling to floor: they take up a minimum of space, and you can place a bunch of all sorts of things in them. Tip # 4: Combining a bathroom and a toilet This option is more complicated and will require significant reconstruction, but it is effective: the wall between the bathroom and the toilet can sometimes free up a whole square meter! Tip # 5:lighting What is so special about bathroom lighting? But it also plays an important role. If not in expanding the boundaries of the bathroom, then in the visual sense of space - for sure. To do this, you just need to abandon the overhead light and make lamps with diffused light at the head level.
