The subtleties of creating a harmonious bathroom design

The bathroom belongs not only to the category of personal and intimate space. Your guests also visit the bathroom at each visit to your home. This is not only a place for taking water procedures and relaxation, it is also your personal SPA salon. Therefore, the situation in it should contribute to relaxation, calmness and uplifting. And while it is not necessary to have a spacious room, but in shaping the interior of the bathroom it is important to pay attention to every detail.

In addition to the need to create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere in an ordinary bathroom, it is also necessary to select separate storage areas.The main problem that can be encountered when repairing a bathroom in a typical apartment is not closeness, but communication. Redevelopment or transfer of communications may require major repairs, and these are additional costs.

What should be in the bathroom:

• Furniture - any, even the smallest bathroom can not do without a storage system, in particular, a closet is absolutely necessary. It can be placed above the sink, in the niche above the washing machine or choose a more spacious floor case. The facades of the cabinet must be made of moisture-resistant material. Additional storage system can be used for cosmetics, personal care products, household chemicals, equipment or textiles.
• Mirror - a mandatory attribute of any bathroom. The mirror can be decorated in a beautiful frame or mounted on the doors of the wall cabinet.
• A laundry basket - it can be placed near the washing machine or hidden in a closet.
• Plumbing - most of the bathroom takes a bath or shower, toilet and sink.

Depending on the size of the room, instead of a full hanging cabinet, you can use a small rack with open shelves.

Also it is necessary to decide what things you need to store in the bathroom. Perhaps for some items there are more suitable places:

• All kinds of bottles. Often in the bathroom can accumulate several types of shampoos, shower gels, creams and so on. From this situation, there is only one effective way out - every time you go to the store to buy only those cosmetics that are necessary. Or store all the reserves for the future in the pantry.
• For decorative cosmetics, it is better to select a dresser or a small locker in the bedroom or corridor.
• Hair dryer, curling iron, hair curlers - they can also be stored in the bedroom and brought into the bathroom only when necessary.
• Means for cleaning - this includes not only household chemicals, but also rags, buckets and mops. Most rational for all these things to allocate space in the closet or a separate closet in the hallway.

Proper organization of space and the methods of its visual increase can turn even a small room into a comfortable and stylish bathroom. But first, rate the room according to the following parameters:

• Room shape - Standard apartments almost always have the same layout, so finding a good project for a typical bathroom is not difficult.
• Passage of communications - in this case it is necessary to take into account not only the conduction of pipes, but also electricity.
• Doorway - Especially relevant moment when combining a bathroom with a bathroom, when you need to choose which door to leave and which opening to close.
• Ventilation system - in some cases it is necessary to additionally install a powerful coercive system.

If the ability to connect a bathroom and a bathroom is not critical, then it is better to combine both rooms in order to increase the space due to the demolished wall.In some typical apartments it is possible to enlarge the bathroom by moving the wall in the hallway.

It is necessary to decide on the need to install a bath - if you are ready to abandon it in favor of a compact shower, then you will save about 1 m2 - and this is almost a victory over crampedness.

If you still choose a suitable model of the washing machine, then pay attention to the devices with front loading. They are almost half the size of standard analogs, and besides, for such a machine it is not necessary to leave free space for opening the door. This is ideal for a small bathroom. There are some simple guidelines for decorating a bathroom. At their observance even the small room will look more spacious and cozy.

The combined bathroom with a bathroom is not only a feature of one-room apartments, but also an urgent need for apartment owners of the old stock. As a rule, most apartments of the last century are not distinguished by a spacious square, and in particular a wide bathroom and a bathroom. But do not despair, because even a small combined bathroom can be functional and stylish, if you properly approach the issue of organizing space.Of course, this option is not suitable for a large family. And decide whether the idea of ​​combining rational - you decide.

But still it is worth noting that the combined bathroom has many advantages:

• the ability to create a fundamentally new layout;
• tangible savings on building and finishing materials;
• additional space;
• the ability to additionally install a dryer for clothes and storage systems;
• all necessary procedures are performed in one place;
• You can replace compact plumbing with a more comfortable and functional one, for example, instead of a small shower cabin, install a bath with a hydromassage function.

But the combined bathroom also has disadvantages:

• for a large family, a combined bathroom would be an uncomfortable option;
• overhaul - when combining two rooms, it will be necessary to demolish the partition and close the opening for one door;
• The project must be coordinated in the BTI.

The combined bathroom is convenient if it is arranged in a studio apartment, small-sized “Khrushchev” or “Stalin”. Combined bathroom allows you to implement bold design solutions, but for a large family, this method will be inconvenient, unless all household members have the same daily routine.As well as combining space allows you to efficiently use all the space, especially if the size of the bathroom is about 1.5-2 square meters.

The basic rules of the organization of space in the combined bathroom:

• The sink should be installed at a height of 80-85 cm. And although the dimensions of the most compact models can be no more than 40 cm, for convenience, you should still choose a sink with a width of at least 50 cm.
• The distance from the sink to the wall or other plumbing items should be at least 20 cm. And before the sink it is recommended to leave 60-70 cm free.
• On the sides of the toilet, you must leave 30-40 cm of free space, and in front of him - at least 50 cm.
• Bath or shower should also have a free space of about 60-90 cm.
• In order to install in the combined bathroom sink, toilet and bath, you need at least 3.5 m2. With proper organization of space, it may be possible to place a washing machine with a vertical load. Otherwise, it is worth replacing the bath with a smaller shower.

It is also worth highlighting the advantages of a separate bathroom:

• during the morning and evening procedures, all family members do not line up at the same door;
• toothbrushes and other intimate accessories are separated from bacteria and germs;
• for finishing the walls and the floor in the toilet, you can choose more budget materials - wallpaper and linoleum.

Owners of apartments of the old stock and modern studios often have to cut out every square centimeter to make the interior more comfortable for living. And besides, you still need to find a place for a washing machine. But today there are some of the most successful options:

• The washing machine can be hidden behind the cabinet or pedestal doors.
• Technique in the niche above the toilet - this option looks unexpected, but not always successfully.
• There is also a non-standard and even witty way of placing the washing machine in the bathroom under the sink. The wash basin at the same time is slightly higher than generally accepted standards. Such compact placement occupies one area, because they are located one above the other, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by residents of typical Soviet-style apartments.
• A great option to save precious space is a washing machine with a vertical load. For such a model does not need to leave free space to open the door.

It is very important when combining a bathroom to combine aesthetics and comfort, since the style and design of a bathroom is a very individual matter.

Modern classic - perhaps the most common option. It contains features of various styles and trends. Classic modern design is functional, concise and versatile. In this direction, it is customary to give preference to glossy surfaces, mirrors, glass, chrome metal, wood and durable plastic. Much attention in the modern classics is given to plumbing, furniture, accessories and other elements. There are no restrictions on color and texture in modern classics. As for the plumbing - in this direction, any items look appropriate, whether it is a shower or a large bath. In a spacious room, they are quite appropriate to be in harmony in one room.

Minimalism Suitable for people who love order in everything. Restrained color palette of light colors, the lack of decorative elements, lightness of lines and functionality - these are the main points of minimalism.

Ecostyle It is considered a peculiar variation of minimalism, but with the addition of natural natural shades.

Industrial, original and fashionable style loft Remains popular over the past couple of years. As a decor metal chains, supports, wooden overlappings and brick walls, and also the black mixer and a shower watering can be used.

Fusion - a modern and slightly non-trivial style for the bathroom. Such an interior has artistry, courage and style. For fusion, a great noble color palette and such colors as purple, emerald and gray are great.

High tech - modern and fashionable style. Special preference in it should be given to gray shades with a metallic sheen. All materials used in the decoration, should not have natural patterns and designs. A plumbing should be ultra-modern with additional features, such as lighting, music or hydromassage.

Provence - French style uses elegant decor, carved frames for mirrors and flower motifs in the decoration of walls and floors. The most suitable colors are purple, blue, yellow, pink, green and white.But in the interior of the Provence it will be inappropriate to look modern shower, so in this case it is worth choosing a full bath of white color. And you should also choose faucets and antique shower heads.

Japanese The style is particularly suitable for small spaces. An abundance of light, a calm color palette and the absence of bulky decorative elements and decorations are welcome.

Even at the planning stage of repair, we imagine the future bathroom, decorated in a specific color palette. And, as you know, the color scheme can affect the mood and atmosphere in the room.

Everyone knows that light shades are great for increasing space visually. But even in a small bathroom it is not always necessary to use a monotonous white color. It would not be superfluous to dilute the boring and even the hospital interior with bright and saturated accents.

Beige color is better suited for the interior in a single color. The decor in beige tones allows you to tune in to relax and rest. Also it would be nice to look pale yellow, sandy, creamy and various milky shades.LED lighting and ceiling lights will expand the boundaries of the room and improve the impression.

Brown color is great for a classic interior. All shades of brown from dark chocolate to pale beige are perfectly combined with both white and black. For a bathroom in which brown color predominates, it is worth choosing furniture with wooden facades.

The red palette charges with optimism and encourages action. Especially beautiful is the combination of red with white or pale pink in the bathroom. At the same time the red tile can differ in the sizes and invoice. This interior does not constrain and does not make an unpleasant impression.

Blue is considered one of the most popular options for decorating a bathroom. All shades of blue are perfectly combined and are suitable for diluting the snow-white interior.

Purple improves mood and improves immunity. When choosing a darker shade, you should consider high-quality indoor lighting. It will also be necessary to supplement the interior with a large mirror on the wall in order not to visually compress the space.Lilac bathroom less demanding in relation to the shade.

Green is associated with nature and is perceived as a fresh and moist hue. It has a positive effect on mood and allows you to be always in good shape. Green goes well with different shades, can be the primary color or used only as an accent.

Gray is a neutral color and can be used in many styles. So, for example, the bathroom in gray colors in high-tech style should be complemented by modern chrome accessories. Also gray is perfectly combined with other shades, for example, the interior can be diluted with white - such a bathroom will look more easily and gently. Also the combination of gray, white and yellow or blue looks harmoniously - this trinity creates an excellent bright union.

Design in a dark palette is more suitable for large rooms. And in this case it is better to focus on the reflective surfaces. Choose glossy ceramic tiles, furniture and mirrors - they will add extra space to the room.

A black and white bathroom is an expressive and daring option.Dark bottom, white top allow you to visually expand the space. If the advantage is black, then this interior looks strictly and stylishly. In a small room, a contrasting combination of colors is also appropriate, but in this case it is necessary to respect the proportions. However, note that dried drops and small lint are immediately visible on the dark surface, so cleaning the bathroom will require much more time.

Contrast design looks spectacular and allows you to bring a zest to the interior. Most often, the interior of the bathroom combine two colors, but in some cases a combination of three colors is appropriate.

Textured materials and various imitations with natural patterns and patterns remain relevant in 2018. So, for example, marble looks appropriate in the interior of the bathroom. Marble can be used to finish walls, floors, bathtubs or furniture. The imitation of masonry or concrete wall without finishing in some interior styles is also original and stylish. The luxury of natural or artificial material transforms and adds elegance to the interior.

Another top-of-the-line large print from last year is still at the height of fashion. Colorful flowers and bright forms will bring freshness to the interior of a light and calm bathroom.

Add originality to the interior is also possible with the help of photo printing. You can place a thematic picture or pattern both on the facade of the furniture and on the wall.

You can also give dynamics to the interior by combining neutral and bright colors in the interior. The combination of a bright calm palette with gold or silver looks advantageous.

Tiles with natural wood pattern gives the interior warmth and comfort. Against this background, white plumbing looks impressive and impressive.

No matter what style and color palette you choose for the interior in the bathroom, do not forget that all materials for walls, floor and ceiling should be resistant to temperature and humidity. And also be functional and practical in terms of cleaning.

Before proceeding to the wall decoration, it is necessary to level the surface. To do this, you must first get rid of the old coating, putty and plaster the walls.You can not neglect the preparation of the walls, especially if you choose ceramic tiles for decoration.

When working with PVC panels problems will be much less. Before covering it is not necessary to pre-level the surface. And besides, this way of decorating the bathroom is more budget. And so that the appearance of the walls quickly bored, choose to design two types of panels.

Another budgetary way to finish the walls is considered decorative self-adhesive film, it can be used locally near the sink and bath or around the perimeter of the room. Also a good design option is considered to be a combination of film and plastic panels. This way of finishing looks modern and at the same time is considered practical and comfortable.

Original today finishing material are glass blocks - those same translucent bricks that laid out the openings in Soviet buildings. Today, such partitions can be used in a modern style. Glass blocks are resistant to moisture, have optimal sound insulation characteristics, as well as contribute to the preservation of heat.The edges of glass blocks have a rounded shape, which makes them safe as when making the opening, passage, and niche.

But the universal and classic version still remains ceramic tile. It is resistant to temperature changes and does not lose appearance with constant humidity. In addition, modern manufacturers offer a variety of colors and textures. When repairing a small bathroom, designers do not recommend using large tiles. It is better to combine elements of various shapes and colors to visually expand the space.

Large tiles should be chosen for spacious rooms. When choosing several types of tiles, you can profitably divide the room into several separate zones. And also for economy of the family budget it is possible to combine a tile with other types of finishing materials. The cost of finishing tiles, of course, differs from the other options, but still among the large range today you can choose the option for the soul and the wallet.

Ceramic tile due to its practicality and attractive appearance is considered the most popular finishing material forfloor in the bathroom. Modern manufacturers offer tiles of various shapes, colors, sizes and textures. The thickness of the tile for the flooring should exceed 9 mm. Ceramic tile has many advantages:

• Moisture resistance. If the seams between the tiles are treated with high-quality sealant, then you can be sure that you are not threatening to flood the neighbors from below.
• High temperature resistant.
• Ability to use non-standard options in the design. The correct method of laying tiles will visually increase the space. To do this, stack all the elements not straight, but diagonally.

• Easy to care. The tile is resistant to alkalis and acids, so for cleaning the floor does not need to pick up special tools.
• Does not conduct electric current when dry.
• Durability and reliability. Ceramic tiles will last more than a decade and at the same time retain their original appearance.
• High thermal conductivity - in different conditions, this feature can be both a plus and a minus. For example, at arrangement of a heat-insulated floor the ceramic tile quickly heats up and keeps temperature.But in a cool room without a warm floor system, the surface will always remain cool.

But ceramic tiles also have disadvantages:

• Fragility. Under mechanical stress, the tile surface may crack and crack.
• Time-consuming and lengthy installation process. Lay the tile yourself novice is unlikely to succeed.
• Price. When buying a tile, you must additionally purchase 10% for the stock that will be required to cut the material.

The ceiling should be finished with a material resistant to the formation and development of bacteria and fungus. To do this, you can choose water-based paint, whitewash or stretch fabric.

Stretch ceiling in the bathroom - this is not very expensive, since the area of ​​the room is not large, then the cost of materials will be minimal. And undoubted plus stretch fabric - above the ceiling, you can hide all communications and wires.

A good alternative to the stretch fabric is plastic panels, behind which you can also hide all communications. Losing a few centimeters to install the frame on the ceiling will not be critical, and in addition you can get spotlights, successfully hidden in the lining.

For a style that echoes nature, wooden slats are most suitable for finishing the ceiling. They can cover the surface completely or partially. And even such a small touch will bring individuality into the interior of the bathroom and emphasize harmony with nature.

But the easiest way to finish the ceiling in the bathroom is painting. Modern materials allow not only to reduce the formation of condensate, but also help prevent the appearance of mold and fungi. With the help of painting, you can hide minor defects of the ceiling, cover up small cracks and smooth out irregularities.

Lighting is at least as important in the bathroom as the choice of plumbing. And, paradoxically, the smaller the room - the more light is required to create a cozy interior. Therefore, a single ceiling just can not do. In the bathroom, you should consider two types of lighting: general and local. And most importantly - the lamps must be moisture-proof. The light source can be used:

• Chandelier - can only be installed ifif the height of the ceiling and the size of the bathroom allow the installation of a hanging lamp. But most often the chandelier in the bathroom is used mostly as a decor.
• Illuminated mirror or sconce.
• Ceiling spotlights or strip lights - lighting around the perimeter should be bright and comfortable at the same time.

Not bad, if you can think of multi-level lighting to adjust the brightness depending on the mood. So, for example, a muffled light will help to relax while taking a bath, and a bright light will allow you to quickly cheer up before the start of the working day. The maximum level of lighting should be above the sink and near the mirror.

Candles can hardly be categorized as lighting fixtures. For the most part, they are necessary for creating a relaxing atmosphere and romantic mood.

A few secrets and recommendations from designers will help to create a harmonious and comfortable interior in the bathroom:

• Do not store cosmetics, small items and accessories in plain sight. The more extra items are on the open shelves - the closer the bathroom seems.For storing small accessories, it is better to choose closed cabinets. And in this case, a mirror wall cabinet above the sink is perfect. In addition, you will receive not only a storage section, but also a mirror.
• Consider the characteristics of the room - in many cases it is best to install custom-made furniture. To such furniture include cabinets, wall cabinets and countertops for sinks. The furniture created by the individual size is an ideal decision for a non-standard bathroom planning.
• Choose decorative containers from a single collection for toothbrushes, liquid soap, shampoo and shower gel. Such a simple trifle will cost a penny, and the transfusion of soap from the store packaging into a beautiful bottle will not take you long, but you will always be pleased to look at stylish things.

• Mirror and glossy surface is a great way to visually enlarge the space. But it should be borne in mind that a stylish design is impossible with stains and dried water marks on the walls, furniture, mirror and faience. Therefore, be prepared that cleaning the bathroom and wiping all the shiny and reflective surfaces will be necessary with regular constancy.
• Discard furniture and plumbing with sharp corners - prefer round shapes and smooth shapes.
• When designing the interior, the same rules apply as when choosing clothes - vertical lines visually increase the walls and raise the ceiling, and horizontal lines make the room wider.

• When choosing a tile for the flooring in the bathroom, you should take care of connecting the heated floor, so that even your feet are not cold barefoot.
• If you want to add decor and beautiful elements to your bathroom design, you can use elegant containers and vessels for liquid soap and other accessories, seashells, original moisture-loving plants, artificial flowers, candles and even paintings.
• And the most important advice - keep the checks when you buy construction and finishing materials, as well as plumbing. First, during the repair you can find a manufacturing defect that no one can reimburse you without a cash receipt. Secondly, you may not have enough tiles to finish the wall, and in order not to lose money with color, it is better to know the correct product item. And thirdly, some stores provide their customers with a pleasantbonus: check with the seller at the time of purchase whether it is possible to return the remaining materials back to the store after repair. Thus, you will get rid of unnecessary construction materials, which in the apartment will undoubtedly turn into rubbish, but also return a small part of the money spent.

Drawing up the drawing - the basic rule at any repair. Specify the size of the bathroom and all communications on paper. This is necessary in order to understand what tasks you are facing. For the rational use of space in the bathroom area of ​​2 square meters. m in the panel house will need to make a lot of effort. For convenience, you will have to divide all the work into several stages. To get started, consider individually the entire bathroom space:

• floor;
• walls;
• ceiling;
• plumbing;
• furniture;
• accessories.

Think about how you want to arrange each element separately and imagine the complete version as a whole. Then go to the cost estimate. And do not forget about simple ways to save. For example, what tile is behind the bathroom, nobody knows, so for closed zones you can safely choose less expensive materials.But if you decide to combine various finishing materials and use, for example, tile and wallpaper for the walls, then in the bathroom you should consider high-quality ventilation so that the wallpaper can withstand constant humidity.

Of course, there are things on which you can save, and there are those for which you have to pay twice. therefore do not save on pipes and mixers - water can cause you considerable damage, and you will have to redo the repair, not only for yourself, but also for your neighbors from below. Also choose high-quality grout, glue and sealant. Waterproof and reliable materials are not cheap, but remember that the price will pay off over time. In addition, do not forget that poor-quality finishing materials do not protect your bath from the appearance of fungus and mold, and get rid of them will not be easy.

On an area of ​​8 square meters. meters to equip a comfortable and functional bathroom is much easier. In this case, it is possible to install not only a full bath, but also a shower cabin in the same room. Also in a spacious bathroom is to install a spacious storage system for placing hygiene products, cosmetics, household chemicals, as well as towels. A useful addition to the combined bathroom will be a bidet.

If there is a beautiful view outside the bathroom window, the choice of finishing materials and color palette should overlap with nature. The tree will help to bring the interior closer to nature; it can be used both from a functional and from a decorative point of view. Oak, yew, elm and larch are most suitable for wet rooms. Wood can be used in furniture, veneer or decor, for example, in a frame for a mirror. You can also use wood for zoning a large bathroom, for example, as partitions for open shelves or shelves.

The most important thing in the bathroom is a bath or shower. In this case, each apartment owner chooses a more suitable option. But before making a decision, it is worth considering and exploring all the options. Modern manufacturers offer baths of various configurations that can be suitable for installation even in confined spaces. First you should decide on the material for the bath:

• Cast iron used in every apartment of Soviet construction. Such baths are considered to be the most durable and reliable.But they have quite an impressive weight, and also have a high cost.
• Acrylic - Modern material for creating baths. Undoubtedly, it is inferior to cast iron in strength and durability, but modern forms of bowls, as well as a more affordable price made such baths the most popular in the modern market.
• Steel is something medium between cast iron and acrylic: it has a modern appearance, a shiny glossy surface and an affordable price.

An important role when choosing a bath is played by the shape of the bowl:

• The oval shape is a classic option, this bath is comfortable and beautiful.
• The square is suitable for a bathroom of a non-standard size.
• Round shape is more suitable for spacious rooms. Designers do not recommend choosing a round shape for a dark typical bathroom.
• Curved shape - if the room is too small, then you can choose a bath with a break. Such a non-standard design will allow free space for free movement.

Creative plumbing will help to create an original interior and will become a real highlight in the design. Bowl sizes are also different.You can pick up a bath with a size of about 2 meters, and a sit-down model. The free space under the bathroom is another plus of the standard option. Behind small doors or a more sophisticated design, you can store household supplies, personal care products, buckets, etc. And one more plus of the baths - they can be equipped with additional functions, such as hydromassage.

But if you want to get more free space, then perhaps it is wiser to refuse a bath. The shower stall takes up at least two times less space than even the smallest bowl. And at your disposal will be about half a meter of space, which is undoubtedly a big plus. Glass transparent walls of the shower stall, as if dissolving in space, will not focus attention on themselves, and therefore the room will seem more open and spacious. Also, instead of the usual doors, you can use the curtain.

For smaller rooms, open-type corner structures would be a better option. You can assemble such a structure yourself. The shower is installed in the corner of the room and has only one transparent wall.At the site of the dismantled bath, it will be necessary to alter the floor screed at an angle, so that the water does not stand and run down the drain. But in this case it will be necessary to carry out a time-consuming complex of works, starting from carrying out communications and ending with waterproofing, in order not to encounter flooding. Therefore, in many ways easier to install a small pan to collect water.

Another important element that a bathroom can not do without is a sink. By type of construction the sink can be:

• Suspended. The most budget option in this version of the pipe from the sink remain in sight.
• Tulip shell It is a small bowl on a narrow stem, behind which all the pipes are hidden. This option in the interior looks elegant and easy if you leave free space under the sink below.
• With a cabinet - a real must have for small bathrooms. In the drawers or on the shelves you can store cosmetics, household chemicals, small accessories, as well as towels.

Some designers are of the opinion that a wall-mounted toilet visually enlarges the space. But you can disagree with this decision, because the installation of the installation in the wall takes from 10 to 20 cm of the actual area of ​​the bathroom. And although on the other hand, the flush tank of the standard model of the toilet bowl also takes about 20 cm from the wall, most people choose this option. However, in this case, each apartment owner chooses a more suitable option. And the fact that the modern way of installing the toilet looks stylish, does not cause any disagreement.

Before starting work associated with a small alteration or with global repairs in the bathroom, it is worth considering already implemented projects and ideas.

A rectangular white tile of the big sizes is ideally suited for an interior in modern classical style. Designers call this form “hog”. In combination with light shades of wood, white ceramics look organic and stylish.

To a small bathroom, you can use a non-standard approach.To do this, you can choose two contrasting shades, a darker and more saturated color to use for finishing the floor and the lower level of the walls. This way you can create a bottomless effect.

Natural natural materials look unusual in the interior of the bathroom and delightful. If you want to decorate the space stylishly, pay attention to marble, granite, glass and wood.

Malachite panels create a surreal atmosphere and look even somewhat mystical.

The whole wall, decorated with non-standard ceramic tiles in aqua green, does not overload the interior, but only emphasizes the Mediterranean decor and creates a special welcoming atmosphere.

Mosaic in the bathroom is already out of fashion, but if you still want to use it for wall decoration, then choose a small panel. Mosaic looks good in small areas and when facing curved surfaces.

It also looks good gradient of colored mosaics on one wall in the bathroom, as well as patterns, lines and patterns.

Tile on the wall can be laid only on the wettest area, that is, approximately to the middle of the height of the wall near the bath.Thus, you will not only save an impressive budget, but also get the original interior. The upper part of the wall can be pasted over with moisture-resistant wallpaper or painted.

Modern manufacturers offer beautiful and stylish coatings that are difficult to distinguish from tile or laminate at first glance. All joints of linoleum must be treated with a sealant so that constant moisture does not cause major problems.

A large mirror placed on two walls can significantly increase the space. The combination of light finish, pastel palette and spot light highlights make the interior airy and spacious.

In addition to the classic sinks, designers offer custom and somewhat bold plumbing. So, for example, the sink, decorated in the form of a painted barrel, perfectly fit into the interior of a bathroom in a rustic style.

It is known that the toilet with the installation takes about 20 cm square. And there is one way in which you can not sacrifice precious centimeters. To do this, you can hide the installation in the built-in locker. At the same time, you will have a wall of almost the original size and with a plus there will be an additional shelf for decorative objects and accessories.

The option of placing the washing machine under the sink, although it is non-standard, but not many people like it. A more stylish and thoughtful way - if the washing machine is not under the sink, but next to it, and at the same time closes the cabinet doors. This option looks especially beautiful if the washbasin is mounted in the countertop, which also closes the washing machine.

A full-width bathtub is essential for lovers of relaxing water treatments. While taking a bath on the shelf you can place a book, candles, a cup of tea or an aroma lamp.

By right, the most daring and memorable bathroom interior created by designers San Francisco. This bathroom has its name "Gaudi Submarine". Images of the underwater world on the walls, floor and ceiling are made of tiled mosaic. And in order to add even more originality and realism to the interior, the designers installed a periscope near the bath in order to observe what is happening above the ocean.
