In many modern apartments and country cottages, it is possible to design a guest bathroom. If the room is spacious, it can be equipped with a maximum. But most often meaning the bathroom in the minimum configuration - the toilet and washbasin. Nevertheless, I want the toilet to be comfortable and aesthetic.
The spacious dwelling today is customary to divide the public and private zone. The main bathroom owners seek to organize as close as possible to their bedroom. The arrangement of the so-called guest bathroom will relieve the owners from invasions into the private part of the apartment or at home. In addition, it is always convenient to have an additional bathroom for its own use. There are two main scenarios for its placement:
- In the immediate vicinity of the entrance area, next to the hallway or hall, while the bathroom has an entrance from the hallway or the corridor.
- If there are special guest rooms, the bathroom is possible to transfer closer to them.
In large modern apartments and country houses, where a project is provided by several risers, there is no problem to equip the guest bathroom. But if the riser is one, then the communications will have to launch additionally. The basic requirement of SNiP to such redevelopment is that the bathroom should not be placed on the residential premises of the apartment floor below. Thus, in the city dwelling under the guest toilet, you can take the storage room or allocate part of the corridor or the main bathroom. Redevelopment will require approval.

How to locate plumbing
The problems of the arrangement of a small room are solved due to the competent location of mini-plumbing.Toilet
Instead of the usual floor toilet in the guest bathroom, it is rational to use a more compact device. Such models are usually represented in the line of hinged (console) devices of all European manufacturers, such as Keramag, if., Roca, Jacob Delafon, Jika, Vitra, Villeroy & Boch, etc.
To install them, an installation module is required, which will require additional costs. But you are aesthetically installing the toilet, even where it is impossible to place the standard model, say partially by entering it into the sanitary wardrobe. And since the device does not have a foot support, then you will be able to not only visually increase the area of the room, but also to facilitate cleaning. We advise you to pay attention to the projection of the toilet - the length of the point of contact with the wall to the front edge of the bowl. The devices with a small projection have a length of 46.5-48 cm.
How much is?
The cost of the mounted toilet is consisted of two components: the prices of the device and the engineering module. Unitaz Escale (Jacob Delafon) costs 20,800 rubles., SJOSS model (if.) - 8400 rub., Hitta (if.) - 3650 rub., Price The Gap (Roca) - 12,942 руб., Hygienic (Gustavsberg) - 15 160 rub., Carina New (Cersanit) - 5620 rubles., O Novo (Villeroy & Boch) - 13 611 rub., Presquile (Jacob Delafon) - 19 490 rub. The installation module will cost 7-12 thousand rubles, although there are more expensive models.
Some manufacturers offer a toilet and module in a set that can be quite accessible for the price. Let's say, the Kit Delfi Leon (Cersanit), which includes mounted toilet, engineering module and a flush button, costs only 7760 rubles.

They are only suitable for washing hands and, as a rule, are not combined with a semillocation or a pedestal. Usually proposed hinged (console) models with an open elegant metal siphon.In the segment of compact devices there are also overhead and half-standy.

Why should you choose an angular plumber?
If, on the wall, the distance from the corner to the door is more than 30 cm, in this space you can place a small washbasin, an angular or straight with a stupid, which melts the device directly into the angle. At the same time, the toilet will remain in the same place or will also be entered into the angle.Outdoor toilets with a compact bowl and corner projection of the tank are in the assortment of Jacob Delafon, Hatria, Ideal Standard (from 10 thousand rubles). Corner will be able to enter also console models and instruments with a special installation module.
Choose furniture for small bathroom
For the guest toilet, the furniture is also required, because all the necessary toiletries, as well as equipment for cleaning and household chemicals, must be stored somewhere. In a small room, an ample attribute is relevant with a width of 55, 53, 50, 45 cm. Often it is sold complete with a washbasin. As for the mirror, you can install a mirror panel with a shelf and illumination or a mirror locker with a depth of 13 cm.
Compact prestings included in kits for small-sized bathrooms (presented in different price categories), they offer both domestic and European manufacturers. The price of a podstone width of 40 cm starts from 3,500 rubles, a substold 50 cm wide varies in the range of 6-10 thousand rubles.
NOTE
In apartments with a fairly spacious separate bathroom, the toilet is located in the toilet, and the sink is in the bathroom. If there is no possibility to equip the guest bathroom, make sure that in the only toilet there is at least a small wicker.

6 Situations on the arrangement of a small bathroom
- Use compact devices. For small guest toilets, this is the only right solution.
- Take into service angular models. Thus, you frees the space a little, and the bathroom will become more comfortable.
- Replace floor toilets and shells mounted (console). As a result, the interior will gain visual lightness, besides, the open space under the instruments is easier to clean.
- Pay attention to asymmetric models and truncated instruments. So, small washbasins with one sleeve, adjacent to the wall, will take the "incomplete" space and will serve a shelf.
- We recommend replacing the bath with a shower corner - it is functional, but it takes less space and fastened hygiene.
- Near the toilet can be installed, thus finding a cost-effective bidet. Mixer with Covering Talis E2 (Hansgrohe) costs 9680 rub., Bozz (Kludi) - 11 710 rub. A more expensive option is a bidet cover.
