Which of us did not dream of having a large bright bathroom, preferably with a window from which a wonderful view opens up, and the interior is conducive to rest, relaxation and relaxation. But, going down "from heaven to earth", and glancing around our three-meter bathroom in a typical apartment, we understand that dreams are dreams, and here it is, and it is quite difficult to create a beautiful and comfortable design of a small bathroom. Difficult, but possible. There are at least two ways to increase a small bathroom space. The first is the redevelopment and reinstallation of plumbing equipment so as to save space as much as possible, and, if possible, then combining a separate bathroom into one room. The second is a visual increase in space using design techniques.
The first method is time-consuming and costly. But if you manage to implement it, then the result may be the most positive. You can not do a major redevelopment, but try to create a small bathroom design, partially rearranging the plumbing, which can also be very effective. So, for example, the angular arrangement of plumbing equipment will significantly save space. Corner bathtubs, sinks, showers and toilets release their “traditional” places and allow you to create comfort on a minimum area. This is especially true for showers. By the way, in a very small bathroom, you can abandon the built-in shower and simply separate the shower with a glass partition to protect the rest of the room from splashes and water.
Modern copper and metal-plastic pipes allow you to clean the entire water supply system in the wall, and this is best reflected in the aesthetic parameters of the room, and also allows you to expand the space. The main problem arises with the sewer riser, which must be masked. But instead of blocking the box, try to close not only the riser with the decorative panel, but also the toilet flank, and in the panel make built-in shelves for different little things. If it is not possible to hide the pipes in the wall, then the water supply equipment is hidden in low pedestals-ledges, which are finished with tiles and the upper plane is used as shelves for bath accessories.
Small bathroom design. Color and light
The color scheme of the walls, floor and ceiling helps to correct the proportions of the room and make it visually more spacious. There is a general rule for all small rooms - the lighter the walls, the more space seems, and vice versa. In a small bathroom, it is better not to use wall coverings of too dark or bright colors, as well as with a large color pattern. White or light pastel colors of the tile can be “diluted” with small bright impregnations, but they should not be many. Furniture and tile surfaces are best matte, and tile sizes are as large as possible.
A very interesting and modern technique that visually expands the space is the use of photowall-paper in the interior of the bathroom, depicting a perspective. This can be a black and white or color photograph, which occupies a significant amount of space on a free wall, for example, near a bathroom.
Of great importance for the visual expansion of the room is the number and location of lighting fixtures. The light design of a small bathroom is better to solve in simple concise small forms. Large pendant lights should be discarded by making built-in light. The luminous ceiling will look very good, due to the lighting device hidden under the matte panel. All functional areas should be well lit, but within reasonable limits. Too much light in a small room gives a negative result.
Small bathroom design. Furniture and equipment
A small space requires you to carefully consider its design so that each item has a place, and the bathroom is beautiful, comfortable and functional. Small compact light furniture will look very elegant and not bulky. Mobile lockers and whatnots are very good, light and roomy. Make the most of the space under the sink top and above the washbasin.
It is known that a mirror very well visually expands the space. In the bathroom, this is perhaps one of the most necessary accessories, so the number of mirrors and their large sizes are justified here.
Convenient and beautiful design of bathrooms in the "Khrushchev" and small apartments is achieved due to three main parameters - color, light and shape. Considering every centimeter of space, arranging objects as rationally as possible, skillfully using color combinations and light zoning, you can achieve maximum beauty and comfort.
