Choosing furniture for the bathroom

The bathroom is most often associated with plumbing and decoration. But furniture products are no less important in the design of the composition in this room. And therefore you need to pay great attention to this moment.

In the bathroom, people spend much less time than in the kitchens and bedrooms, and sometimes the living room, the corridor are just as relevant. But still it is impossible for this reason to conclude that the design of the bathroom is secondary. On the contrary, the increased functionality of the bathroom imposes considerable restrictions on the designers. Modern furniture significantly shifts to pure color and harmonious geometric shapes. Experiments of previous years can still be tolerated, but they have already passed the peak of popularity.

Practicality replaces all pomp, and in this case unconditional priority is given to all organic, natural. In 2018, the design decisively tears up with the usual range of bright colors that are actively used in the bathroom. Yes, they have become a part of everyday stereotype. But it is time to take a step forward and move to a new level. Fashionable exclusive tonality of the last time - a gray color, most accurately expressing current trends.

The situation is fundamentally opposite: there are a lot of options and ways to implement them. Modern technologies make it possible to alter the most common wood, for example, that it ceases to be sensitive to moisture. But people begin to feel more confident and more secure. It is important to bear in mind that any fashionable and correct design is unthinkable without significant costs.

Still remains in demand traditional ceramics. It is, however, somewhat different in appearance than the “Metro” format, which involves the formation of relief, became another fashionable one.It is recommended to look at the modular furniture, it not only corresponds to the latest trends, but is also very practical to use. It will be easy to create the desired composition and realize the most daring idea. And later it will be much easier to rework the appearance of the bathroom.

The tendency of convergence of a bathroom and a simple living room, noted by designers in past years, continues to operate. In many cases, the objects displayed there cannot be distinguished visually from the similar ones used in the bedroom or the nursery. Developing and minimalism, the use of add-on parts. Smooth and simple surfaces unconditionally dominate. And if you still want to leave the traditional colors that have been used before, you should make a choice in favor of beige tonality.

Furniture in the bathroom should be ideally combined with each other and geometrically, and practically, and stylistically. It can be difficult to achieve this ... if you pick up disparate objects and try to independently comprehend the canons of design through experience. The kit (a complete set) ideally solves this problem and helps to create a harmonious, rationally built space.When choosing, you should take into account the width of individual objects and whether they should be symmetrical or not. The next step is to evaluate attractive materials and select angular or linear structures.

But such a step is suitable only for those cases when there is an acute lack of space and there is no possibility to expand the space. If there is the slightest chance, it is better to isolate these two objects and put them at least side by side, and not one above the other. Corner options are the most practical and can significantly save space. Suspended furniture, as opposed to built-in, can not be regarded solely as a way to save the territory.

What is hung on the walls looks very attractive in many styles and is more practical than outdoor products. At least one lockable cabinet must be in any bathroom. Facades are recommended to be placed in one, maximum two clear lines (in height or in length). Designer chair for the bathroom should be selected as carefully as possible, and not in any selection of furniture he enters.

The variety of materials used in the manufacture of bathroom furniture is very large. It has long been made not only of ceramic and wooden structures. Stone top kits can be made from natural or synthesized rocks. In order to design future designs as accurately as possible, it is recommended to prepare cardboard mock-ups. It is advisable to check whether it is warped, fits completely into the dimensions of the required space.

Acrylic plate is produced since the 1960s, in the production of its use:

• marble crumb;
• polymer binders;
• dyes of organic origin.

The dense outer layer of this material allows you to avoid the rapid reproduction of harmful microorganisms. An alternative is the quartz composite, which for a long time retains its original appearance and, moreover, is exceptionally durable. In the bathroom, you can use furniture made of solid wood, thanks to careful selection, it turns out to be no worse than a stone. If there is any doubt about this, it suffices to recall tubs and troughs, wooden pots and garden barrels made of wood.For many centuries, such products perfectly tolerated exposure to water, and professional processing enhances such characteristics significantly.

Such a solution implies a rather large reserve of space. Most often, a wooden bath is placed in the center of the room on a special pedestal. We'll have to spend tens of thousands of rubles, because larch and other species that can withstand the effects of water, are quite large sums. When choosing a wooden sink, it is recommended to give preference to the most original forms.

Wood can be used in close combination with glass. The common opinion that glass surfaces are too fragile and unreliable is not justified in reality. They harmoniously look in any interior and complement it. Manufacturers have learned to prepare a wide range of glass products, which will be included in the most original style. The installation adds charm and charm to the bathroom - and in this regard, a rare solution can be compared to glass in principle.

It is recommended to harmoniously combine glass and mirror surfaces, this allows you to "play" the reflections and reflections of the light flux. And thanks to special high-tech processing, it is possible to increase the strength of structures and avoid their premature failure. It is also very important that the glass is not subject to the formation of nests of mold and other fungi. But you have to deal with the need for daily care and avoid scratches.

Provence is the style that will always be popular. This style in the bathroom cannot, of course, include the maximum concentration of wood.

Suffice it to recall what the canons of the Provencal style are:

• lavender fields;
• groves of olive trees;
• impeccable blue sky;
• bright Mediterranean sun;
• plain landscapes of the south of France.

For this purpose, a wardrobe of vintage look, baskets, mirrors with exquisite frames and flowers in pots are perfect. The French approach involves the embodiment of such motives as spontaneity and peace. It is very important to select the details in a filigree way, using objects of pastel coloring.Plumbing products of the usual form (made of ceramic materials) are best combined with the spirit of Provence.

The loft style is the complete opposite of the Provencal approach, it implies the most industrial image of space. An unfinished brick wall looks good, but it is important to consider that open brick in the bathroom is frankly impractical. It is advisable to use open and bright compositions. It is recommended to fill the bathroom with the maximum amount of light, as well as actively use light colors. The closer the color of the room to the white color, the less money will have to be spent on electric lighting.

Classical style involves mostly marble bathroom, and furniture in this case is made of wood. Users will enjoy the mass of comfortable shelves and cabinets, becoming a true decoration of space.

It is recommended to use:

• baths, standing on fancy curved legs;
• stylized candlestick lighting fixtures;
• coloring of the main elements in pastel colors.

When choosing furniture in the bathroom, it is recommended to pay not only to match its specific style. It is very important to take into account its color, because the perception of space as a whole depends on it. Colors need to be selected not only by the momentary mood or at the behest of the current fashion - this will almost always lead to an erroneous decision. Indeed, as practice shows, thoughtless choices cease to please very soon. And I already want to redo it, but again it will be more difficult to take the necessary pieces of furniture.

Black tonality in the bathroom sometimes looks overly gloomy, but only if it is used incorrectly. The main thing is not to saturate the space with dark shades; With proper design study, these elements can be used in large and in small bathroom. Colored (red) furniture looks very luxurious and adds a fair amount of passion to the room. With a careful and balanced approach, it is possible to achieve a bright and cheerful effect. But you can not overly concentrate such tones, otherwise they will emotionally suppress people.

Under the white tile, experts advise the use of interior, painted in blue, walnut or brown tone. It is categorically undesirable in this case to put white furniture products. With a yellow tile, objects of blue and red, sometimes black and gray, are harmoniously combined. With the help of yellow furniture, it will be easy to enhance performance and improve mood from the first minutes of each day.

For a small bathroom and furniture should be non-standard. In any case, they are guided by the balance of sizes: the space should not seem to be excessively empty, but to overload it with a multitude of objects is impractical.

It is normal to use the toilet and washbasin, if the gap in front of them is less than 60 and 78 cm at a minimum. And this is just the minimum figure, and comfortable use requires increasing it substantially.

The gap from the bath to the nearest piece of furniture in 0.3 m is not a fad of designers, but a quite practical requirement. Those who use the bathroom at least a few years, experience can confirm its validity. Since there may be irregularities in all the planes of the room, any surface is thoroughly checked with a plumb and level, and at various points, before selection. By doing so, you can minimize the risk when assessing the required size of furniture products. The final moment when laying the necessary dimensions is their fit for the project and taking into account the subtleties of the location of objects.

Not every factory supplies really comfortable and reliable furniture products. But the company Aquanet is a happy exception to the general rule. For about two decades, the company has been building its brand reputation and improving it in every way. The product range is presented in the most different price categories; The corporate online store sells not only corporate products, but also products from leading foreign suppliers.

The company is ready to sell:

Russian company "Monaco" offers to the attention of consumers cabinets with sinks, simple furniture cabinets of various colors. Reasonable cost and accurate knowledge of the nuances to which bathroom furnishings in Russia must correspond - these are the main advantages of this brand.If you pay attention to foreign products, the best solution is products from Spain. Plants of the Iberian Peninsula mastered the production of floor, suspended and corner sets of the highest quality. Modern technologies allow to paint furniture products in attractive colors and give them an original external configuration.

Personal taste can not be discounted, it can not replace even the opinion of famous designers, not to mention the ordinary consultants from retailers. In any case, it is necessary to take into account the resistance of materials to moisture, their ability to maintain stable initial qualities for a long time. Since the room is small, it is necessary to give preference to components with the highest functional qualities that are the most compact. Resistance to the formation of fungus and mold, plus the ability to wash furniture, is very important. And one more thing - the visual alignment of the style of furniture with the look of the bathroom as a whole.

As part of its estimate, how exactly to place all the linens and cosmetics, household chemicals and other accessories. A gross mistake is to fill a small bathroom with furniture to the limit; it should not become a constrained storeroom. In a small volume (1–2 m of the free area) it will be necessary to limit oneself to only the most necessary items.

Sink built into the cupboard, complemented by a top mirror - a classic solution, which can be hung on the wall, placed on the floor or on the legs. If there is enough space, there is already an opportunity to place wide worktops, to place canisters, shelves and cabinets. In the selection of color and texture it is important not to forget that some of the options will detect all the drips and drops of water. Matte and relatively bright face coating - the best type. Checking the quality of the furniture, you need to ensure the stable operation of the fittings, in the smooth application of paint and the absence of rust spots.

Wood can be used only in large bathrooms with an intensive mode of ventilation. DSP and MDF without an external moisture barrier are completely impractical and are unlikely to last longer than a few months.Plastic is very resistant to bathroom conditions. But it is important to find out whether it is really intended for such purposes or not. Metal and glass are acceptable mainly for modern design approaches; Most models are made of these materials only partially.

The only acceptable type of wood for exterior decoration is a thin layer of varnished veneer. When heated floors are installed or planned to be installed, furniture products without legs are not recommended. Otherwise, there is a threat not only for the structures themselves, but also for their contents. With all the attractiveness of glass and mirrors, it is worthwhile to place them as high as possible and to fix them thoroughly - then the risks to people will be less.

It is not necessary to order finished products and adapt to the range provided by various companies. With your own hands you can make at least attractive designs. Moreover, no one except the owners of the house or apartment is so deep as they are.Let nobody like what they like, or it costs too much - the problem is solved! The easiest way to make the furniture, which consists of wooden and metal parts.

Opportunities to work with decorative stone and glass at home are very limited.

Most often, homeworkers do:

• cabinets under the sink;
• hanging lockers;
• shelves;
• linen floor cabinets.

When working with plastic, one should not forget about its fragility; this disadvantage pays off resistance to moisture, the availability of the material of any desired colors. Chipboard is also resistant to water, but it can not boast a variety of colors. Metal structures are invariably cold and it is often unpleasant to touch them. Among wood materials, professionals put shipboard plywood in the first place. Since it is impossible to make the surface of materials smoother than it is initially, you need to carefully and carefully select the original parts.

The combination of red and black colors in the interior of the bathroom looks very attractive. In this case, it makes sense to make the main part of furniture products in white color and use glass surfaces.The chocolate-white bollard with rolling out drawers, shown in this photo, is in harmony with the snow-white bowl of the sink. It is not necessary to introduce into the situation, however, red or pink tones. It shows how attractive the light furniture with narrow vertical glass inserts looks; helps to dilute the monotony of the plant in the tub.

White paint and mirror effect are very limited and local. The photo shows the harmonious use of a combination of white and blue. The use of identical ornaments in separate places helps to improve the appearance of the composition and stylistically link its different parts together. Glazed inserts are secondary, but they look quite appropriate for an observer.
