Planning
At the beginning of the planning of the bathroom design, we propose to answer two important questions.
First: Are you ready to combine a bathroom with a toilet? Pros and cons of this decision are obvious. Of the good: even 1 square meter can make the bathroom spacious. However, when the family is big, it is hardly worth it.
Second: What is the filling? For example, a toilet and bath, and the necessary furniture are fitted with three square meters. But if you also need to put a washing machine here and a drying machine, you will have to sacrifice the bowl. If you can make items to the kitchen or a corridor, a free and useful area of the bathroom will be more.
Choosing a soul
The next stage is the choice of shower in the design of a small bathroom. You can install a cabin, hydrobox or shower construction. Consider more each option.Cabin
Today you can find the cab for every taste. The main difference is the type of device, they are closed and open.
- Closed cabins are more expensive. They often combine the functions of the bowl and soul. They are isolated from the common space, so provide good sound insulation. Manufacturers often pay special attention to the functionality of devices.
- Open cabins cheaper. They are easy to install, so if desired, the installation can be carried out even on their own. But there are also cons: it is a limited functionality, difficult repairs in the event of a breakdown (repairing the pipes will not be easy), as well as an increase in humidity throughout the room.
Minimum cabin size: 80x80 cm. So you can install the device even in a tiny room. However, a large person takes the souls is unlikely to be comfortable. Sometimes it is worth sacrifying the area for the comfort of family members, universal is considered to be 90-100 cm.
Also pay attention to the form. The square cabin will take more space than the semicircular or angular. But this is not always minus. The layout of some rooms allows you to use the place next to the shower.
Hydrobox
It is also called the shower cabin of a combination type. Difference with previous ones - in size and functionality. In the design of a small bathroom without a bath such a caboch will be difficult to enter. Most often, the system is installed on the area more than 7 square meters. meters.
But the size is justified by the functions: here you can take a bath and shower, in some models there is a steam generator, foot massage, radio, aromatherapy, and so on.
Shower construction execution
The most stylish version of the soul, and the main sign of repair with a professional. In this form, the shower, lined with tiles, it looks easily, it is often even invisible in the photo. In addition to the purely aesthetic component, there are practical benefits - you can independently determine the size and shape of the cab.
But when implemented, many are faced with the main problem - the complexity of coordination of such redevelopment. And this is necessary. The question is solved directly with the engineer and designer: they can plan the project in such a way that there are no difficulties with the law. For example, a removable pallet will be offered.
How to enter a washing machine in the design of a small bathroom
This is the case when the washing machine cannot be taken into the kitchen. There are several installation options.
- In free space or niche. Here simply: if the place allows, the machine can be installed in any convenient corner. This is not the most economical option from the point of view of the area, but the shelves or cabinets can be installed above the device.
- In a separate cabinet. Convenient when, a dryer is provided. They can be embedded in a niche or equip a wardrobe, and the dryer is placed over the washing machine. The space from above can be used under the shelves.
- Under the sink. Manufacturers have long been offered both compact washing machines and special stands and sinks for installation over them. Such a reception imposes certain limitations: the risk of blockage in such a sink is higher, and the machine will not be roomy. However, in a tiny room, it is more than justified by free meters.
How to arrange combined space
The design of a small bathroom with a toilet is often implemented in the following layouts.
- In typical bathrooms, where the length is slightly more width, but the room has the right shape, the shower can be located in the corner opposite the entrance. Then, on the left and right side, there is a washed with sink and toilet.
- The position of the shell and the toilet may vary depending on the area of the room. Sometimes they are located near, so there is enough space and on a small wardrobe.
- Another possible option is shower near the entrance. In this case, it is important to provide a way to open the cabin door or built-in system: it should not interfere with the front door. It can push or open inward.
- In modern houses, the bathroom may have a wrong form: a narrow, even elongated. In this case, the designers offer to place the cabin at the end of the room, and on one wall - the toilet and sink. Thus, the place is released for the passage, and the interior does not look close.
Bonus: Decorator tricks for expansion of space
Visually to increase the space will help some decoration techniques. Round mirror is one of them. It works much more on the expansion of the wall than the rectangular analog. Do not forget about the mirror cabinets - also the exit with a lack of space.
If there are niches in the room, they are necessary to emphasize the lighting around the perimeter. The light plays the main role in the perception of objects. Well lit bright space seems more, and the bathroom is not an exception.
