Furniture for bathrooms: Required set of objects, options for "Moidodyrov", current trends of color shades and materials.
Standard bathroom area is small, the struggle goes for each centimeter. What objects of the situation are needed here, and from what you can fasten the heart to refuse? How to put furniture correctly by making it use practical and convenient? And finally, what color solutions prefer to be in the bathroom nice?
When choosing a bathroom furniture, it is important to keep in mind a number of significant circumstances. First, it is necessary to take into account the size and shape of the "wet" room, since when it is furnished, each subject of plumbing needs to provide a certain functional space. For shell, toilet and bidet it is 70cm wide and 110 cm in front of the device; For a bath minimum 70cm in front of it. Secondly, for safety and comfort reasons, it is better to prefer furniture with rounded edges and angles, while at the same time spacious and occupying space. Thirdly, the elements for the bathroom must be calculated on special operating conditions. If they are made of wood or wood chip materials, all surfaces are treated with water-repellent varnish or protect the appropriate coating. The price of furniture depends on the material, the type of finishing, product class and design.
What is the furniture need?
The answer to this question depends on the area of the bathroom, as well as the volume of small and large things that you would like to store in it. It is not necessary to get involved in the acquisition of a large number of objects, because you risk cluttering the room so that there will be no place to turn. In principle, you can do without furniture at all, buying only accessories and attaching them to the walls. Washing accessories will fit on the sink, if it is great enough, various bottles will fall on the shelf under the mirror of IT.D. Is the same with furniture more convenient. After all, hiding in the lockers, the necessary little things will be protected from dust and splashes of water.Furniture for bathrooms are usually sold not sets, but element. That is, from a large number of items a collection of one or another manufacturer, you can choose a few necessary. Set of products offered by different factories, standard. These are the cabinets and stands under the sink- "Moidodyra"; Countertops Furoving Sink; Mirrors with illumination and shelves; bedside tables and low lockers; High wardrobes, as well as hinged cabinets of all sizes.
Russian manufacturers of furniture for bathrooms are represented by Aquaton, Aqua Mate (Earlier "), X-Wood (Brand Laguna), AquaForm. They produce inexpensive mid-level models. Products of these manufacturers are more or less similar to each other. A white color is proposed white with blue inserts, material - chipboard in combination with MDF panels. The models of the Factory "Two Aquarius" created from the array differ from this products. In the past year, cabinet furniture for the bathroom appeared from Mr.Doors. The line is called AQUA and unites 4 series (Basic, Diva, Quadro, Woody) developed by domestic designers. We also have joint ventures, for example, the Russian-Spanish company "Opadiris".
The "purebred" furniture with the pyrenees of the average price range is Metalkris, Italika, Sonia. Northern Europe is democratic at IKEA prices (Sweden) and more expensive IDO (Finland).
The choice of furniture of the highest class is very wide. The price, sometimes apparent transcendental, is justified by interesting design and impeccable quality. Italian companies in this market segment are most, just some: Klessidra, Arte Linea, Globo, Novello, Tulli Zucari, Telma, Oasis, Ceramica Dolomite. The German factories whose names are now competed with many on hearing-Duravit, Villeroy Boch, Keramag, Ideal Standard. A number of elite furniture and plumbing manufacturers offer a comprehensive solution of bathroom interiors. So come, for example, Laufen (Switzerland) and Joop (Italy). They produce a series united by a common name. The assembly includes sinks, toilet bowls, baths, combined with them in design elements of the situation, accessories, and sometimes still tiles and textiles. The wider the model range, the easier it is to withstand the room in one style. Vitoga increases the cost of each subject, but the time spent on the selection of components is reduced.

"In the residential rooms, the interior stylistics is determined by furniture and various accessories: curtains, carpets, lamps, vases ... Walls for all these items - just a background, soft and unobtrusive. Svethenny, the opposite, the wall design plays a decisive role. Getting to the project We first choose their color gamut. Then we think what plumbing devices will be able to fit. We look at how to place them well, taking into account the wiring of water supply and sewage pipes. IT IT IT TO FURNITED. For her, as a rule, it remains not so much Many space. It comes from something to refuse, limited to the most necessary. The lack of an area in the bathroom is the main problem. It is possible to fight this with the help of decorative techniques. For example, avoid abundance of saturated paints, otherwise the room will appear less than it actually . Let only details be bright, and the plumbing is traditionally white, furniture-light, in pastel colors. "
"Gentlemansky" set
As mentioned above, the composition of the bathroom sets for all companies is the same. But in this standard list there are many variations.
Moidodyr is a closed cabinet with a seal with a sink, equipped with boxes, shelves, and sometimes also a basket for linen. As a rule, it is sold along with the sink. Furniture manufacturers either produce plumbing themselves (for example, Laufen, Globo, IDO), or constantly cooperate with certain factories. Attempting to pick up the sink independently, most likely will fail: the clearances will be inevitably around the perimeter of the mounting hole, the sink will be fixed unstable.
"Moydodyra" are three types: on the base, on the legs and mounted. The model on the base is placed directly to the floor. For the bathroom, where water is inevitably bottled, this option is not particularly convenient, since the furniture refers to the contact with moisture. Therefore, the mounted "MoidOdra", mounted on the wall, are more common. In order for the product to be reliably, it is better to trust it with a specialist. "Moidodyr" on the legs also necessarily attached to the wall. The legs (sometimes only two of them) most often perform a decorative function.
Manufacturers offer different options for "MoidOdrov" - width from 50 to 200 cm. The depth varies from 30 to 65 cm. There are "Mojdodyr" -Malutka width of only 45cm (Aquaton company). Russian manufacturers, given the layout of our apartments, make a bet on small models.
The choice of the size of the shell and "Moidodyra" should ideally depend on such nuances as physical dimensions of a person and the quantitative composition of the family. In practice, most often the defining factor is the area of the room. It is clear that in a typical bathroom rarely accommodate the cabinets wider than 80cm. Many companies are Mr.Doors (model Diva Corner), Aquaton, Telma, Globo- produce angular models, comfortable for pasty bathrooms.
Usually, along with Mojdodyr, a mirror is offered or a mirror shelf with a mirror facade of lines and a common style make these two furniture objects with a set. In many of these models, a special socket is provided, intended for use in a wet room - turn on the forceps, a hairdryer or an electric razor. Electrical equipment Mirrors must have a security class not lower than IP44, providing normal operation in conditions of high humidity. For convenience, the socket can be located on the right or on the left, because it must be removed as much as possible from the shower. Hospital, cheap mirrors ($ 20-100) often fog. To see its reflection after bathing, it will be guaranteed only in more expensive copies. So, in the AQUA line from the company Mr.Doors, all mirrors are equipped with a SteamFree system that prevents the appearance of condensate (price - from $ 250 to $ 450, depending on the configuration). Buying a mirror, think in advance the local lighting around it. Lamps can be embedded in mirrors visor or autonomous.
The countertop is essentially not the subject of furniture, but sometimes it is successfully replaced by "Moidody". It serves as a comfortable stand for washbasins. According to it, both parties often have metal handrails for towels. Sometimes the tabletop is a single whole with a sink, in a similar case they are made from one material. Not so long ago, the original shells of colored tempered glass appeared (X-Wood, Arte Linea). However, note that white spots of dried droplets are clearly visible on such a glass. Matted surfaces are used at most expensive versions, on which there are no traces and inclination. Also, countertops are made from MDF, natural and artificial stone.
If there is a free place, in the bathroom you can hang or put lockers of different shapes and sizes. Narrow shallow wardrobes (they are also called speakers) are most relevant and have all manufacturers. For example, IKEA offers many options worth from $ 50 ("Sparkle" series; film coating chipboard) to $ 200 ("Wattern" series; Array of birch, cropped). Cabinets, single or bivalves are equipped with one or more shelves and special tanks (for example, baskets for linen).
Complete furniture for the bathroom is also a cabinet on wheels. It is easy to move from place to place so that at the right moment the little things stored in her were at hand. It is convenient (for example, to bathe a child) stool, in the seat of which an additional container is arranged.
Making the bathroom, always have to look for compromises. But we will not pessimist by sacrificing one, we often get another in return. So, sometimes full-fledged furniture in the bathroom is simply not placed. Then its functions take on various accessories. Fostening small shelves to them, you can create a magnificent ensemble. IVSA The same bathroom kit is "Moidody" and a mirror with a shelf attached to it. Their location is tied to the place that the sink occupies. If the bathroom is combined, it is usually between the toilet and the bathroom.

"It seems to me that the bathroom needs to do up as a full room, creating a living home atmosphere in it. From the sterility of typical bathrooms it is time to refuse. To transform the interior, you will need a tile for walls with a pattern under the wallpaper and a floor tile, imitating parquet. Doors are not white, but The same as in the rest of the rooms. Plus a mirror in a wooden frame and more drapes. Now for wet premises, a tissue with a special impregnation is sold. From this matter, you can sew a bath of a bath, so that the splashes do not fly when you take shower. Blinds are better to close and Niche with shelves. When choosing furniture, the main thing is to consider the situation in the whole house. The style must be united. If there is not enough space for the column or an additional locker, accessories will help: Towel holders, cups for toothbrushes, soapboxes, hooks. They will love part of the items. . But consider all accessories worth buying at the same time, it is better in one set. Little room in a small room, like a bathroom, very important Any little things, even color towels. Just imagine: on the background of light green wall-carrot towels. Horror! Therefore, proceed carefully. "
Purity style
Attractive bathroom interior is one of the defining criteria when buying furniture. However, you should not forget about the functionality, because in the bathroom everything should be at hand. This sense of the ideal acquisition can be considered such a set of objects, which achieved the unity of aesthetics of design and ease of use, that is, forms and content.Here you can allocate two main trends. Some designers offer products of streamlined forms (models from Arte Linea, Klessidra), since the lack of sharp faceting of visual relaxation. Others give their belongings with impeccable proportions and strict lines, avoid fractional parts and as a result achieve a harmonious appearance of objects. This approach is distinguished by German manufacturers.
Traditionally, the bathroom interior is performed in a blue-blue gamma. It is associated with freshness and cleanliness and often finds support in motifs of decoratives, starfish, fish. Many manufacturers "indulge" to the current stereotype - in stores you will certainly find models that have at least parts (for example, doors) blue or blue. However, such a tonality is not at all necessary, the color may be warm. Soft pastel shades make air bathroom interior. Furniture of soft yellow, apricot and pistachio tones are in the collections of IDO and Telma companies. Avot Bright screaming ink in the bathroom is quite rare, they are too active for a small space. Isv and similar samples are available. Accuracy, the Italian Factory Novello produces scarlet, orange and purple models.
But this is an exception, and usually make a bathroom on white. Such is almost all products of the economy class of Russian manufacturers. To avoid monochromicity (after all, plumbing is the overwhelming majority of buyers also prefer white), you can add intense-color or on the texture accessories or to abandon the white flatter in the design of the walls. In this case, contrasts will revive the room, and it will stop seemingly boring sterile. Furniture made of wood and its imitation (chipboard, MDF, covered with laminated film with "wooden" pattern), becomes more and more popular lately. Each breed of wood has its own shade, its texture. The choice of a specific variety depends, as a rule, on the overall concept of the interior.
The humidity and air temperature, which is especially noticeable in small areas with insufficient ventilation, are often and rather dramatically change. Acknowledged, materials from which the furniture is manufactured must be moisture-resistant. Ideal in this sense plastic (it specializes, for example, the Italian company Telma). Next, they follow the metal and glass, however, in the bathroom, they still look too hard, and therefore do not fall to taste. You can choose one glass shelf or locker mirror (quite inexpensive products offers Metalkris and add several items from other materials to them. Another infrequent guest in our bathrooms - a tree, and it is not necessarily afraid of moisture. Oak from staying in water becomes unusually durable. Do not destroy from moisture and exotic rocks as Wenge and Iroquo. Make furniture for wet rooms also from beech and cherry. To increase the strength of the model from the array are covered with ship varnish. However, such an environment is quite the road and is suitable only for large (from 15m2) bathrooms. It is mainly represented by elite producers (Duravit, Keramag, Villeroy Boch, Ideal Standard).
As a rule, furniture for rooms with high humidity is made of chipboard in combination with MDF. The housing is a moisture-resistant chipboard with a special coating. Usually it is several layers of soil based on polyurethane resins and glossy enamel. The edges protect the melamine or PVC edge. The facade is performed from the MDF material, which can be given any, even curvilinear form. Punching facing is often used veneer. Chipboard and MDF use most Russian companies: Aquaton, Aqua Mate, X-Wood, Mr.Doors. Among foreign manufacturers working on such technology, IDO, Italika, Sonia, KlessiDra, Arte Linea. The poor-quality chipboard and MDF plates will swell away from the water and box. To extend the life of the purchased product, you must always wipe it dry.

"If you wish in the bathroom, you can do without finished furniture. It is not at all difficult, you will need a little fantasy. I will explain on the example. Around the shell make a vast worktop on which different little things will stand. For this, you need to cook the frame for this from the metal. Moisture-resistant plasterboard, and then fade with tiles. A small washing machine or a basket for linen will fit the table top (to choose from: woven or out of plastic). Inside the houses there are niches, we have a shelter in them. Gay, where there are no niches, equip the brick storage system Or drywalkart and finish all the same tiles. The bottom of the structure can be left under the washing machine, and the upper-under-shelves for towels. We use the space with maximum benefit: we look at the side of the bath side of the bath, do the doors. Behind them it is convenient to store cleaning products. All listed Works, having received the necessary explanations, build builders who fulfill a general repairs. A results interior It shares truly individual and storage locations will be enough. "
Price range
The market can be divided into three sectors. Kverv belongs inexpensive furniture represented by the already mentioned Russian factories (Aquaton, Aqua Mate, X-Wood, AquaForm). The headset ("Moydodyr" plus mirror) costs $ 150-500, depending on the size and configuration. Over the past few years, the proposals of this type have become greater, the range of models is gradually increasing. The one who is not ready to spend on the furnishing for the bathroom solid amount will find the appropriate version of IKEA. The company offers both a completely cheap (record- $ 60 per set) and quite expensive products (about $ 400 per set). The CSDRs should include products of Mr.Doors, Opadiris, as well as many Spanish companies, such as Italika, Metalkris. The cost of the headset fluctuates from $ 800 to $ 1500. In our opinion, it is not always justified. On the border of medium and high prices, the Finnish company IDO, Italian Telma, Swiss Laufen operate. The price for the kit here is $ 1700-2000. At the highest price level there are products of German and Italian producers who have already been called in this article. Unic cost of one item (say, shelves with a mirror) can reach $ 6000. The average price of the kit is $ 2500 or more.
