Bathroom design 35 photos

Thinking through interior design is a very exciting activity, and even useful. It is necessary to take into account so many nuances: decide on the style of the future interior, choose finishing materials, figure out how they will combine with each other, solve the problem with placing everything you need in a limited area and so on.

The bathroom interior can be made in various styles: from high-tech to classic, from avant-garde to provence. Another thing is that most of us live in ordinary standard apartments, where the bathrooms do not have a large area, so the design possibilities and the realization of the characteristic features of some style solutions are somewhat limited. The design of a bathroom in such small rooms should be concise, and the main task of the designer is to think over the options for the most convenient and aesthetic placement of sanitary ware and furniture.

Small bathroom design

In small bathrooms, everything should be in place. Therefore, the design tasks are to usefully use every centimeter.

	Think about whether to abandon the bath and replace it with a shower, because then there will be enough space to install the washing machine, and in the bathroom it will not be cramped. If a bath is necessary, then keep in mind that sometimes a washing machine is installed under a special-purpose sink or in a niche above a wall-hung toilet, if there is no place for it anywhere else, for example, in the kitchen or in the pantry.
	In the bathroom there is always a lot of hygiene items, so you need to organize storage places. This can be an open or closed corner shelf above the bath. By the way, you, probably, saw in the sale of bathroom sets, consisting of a cabinet under the sink and a narrow hanging cabinet with a mirror - do not neglect them. In a small bathroom, such furniture is a real salvation. It takes up little space, but washing powder, cleaning products, shampoos, gels, toothbrushes and other various accessories will no longer be gathering dust on open shelves and surfaces, which will always help to keep the bathroom in order.
	A catastrophic problem in a small room for many housewives is the definition of storage space for dirty laundry. Often, not finding another way out, the laundry is immediately put into the drum of the washing machine and thus accumulated. However, this will not affect the laundry in the best way: things can not only get an unpleasant smell in the damp drum of a washing machine, but even become damp and moldy. It is much more practical to have a laundry basket or bag. Get a narrow but high model. The accessory will be quite roomy, and you can place it in any corner, at least between the washbasin and the wall.
	Some dream of a corner bath. It is a mistake to think that it will help save space, even if you purchase small models and install them in place of the old bath. Think a hundred times, because the narrow space formed between the bathroom and the wall is unlikely to be somehow involved. But at the expense of the width of the bath "eat" really useful centimeters. In a small bathroom you should not install a corner bath. But the corner sink - exit.
	The sink can be partially or fully located above the bath. Or a part of the tabletop can hang over it: not bad and functional. In the first case, space is saved, in the second - while taking a bath on the countertop, as on a table, you can put cosmetics, put a towel.

Layouts

Typical bathroom layouts are no different. In the combined bathrooms there are a toilet, a washbasin and a bathtub along a long wall, and the toilet is closer to the stand. In separate bathrooms, the bathroom is even smaller, as the toilet is moved to a separate room. To create an interesting interior design in such cases is extremely difficult. Exit - redevelopment. When combining a separate bathroom, some useful space will appear due to the possibility of using side walls, for example, if you lay the door of a former toilet. Next to the toilet or in front of it, you can install a washing machine.

If the bathroom is combined, then it can be expanded by joining a corridor or pantry, if it is located through the wall. In these cases, the design possibilities are significantly increased, however, it is necessary to work on waterproofing.

If we act on the basis of the initial data, then there are few options, mainly replacing the bathtub with a shower stall, due to which additional space is made available and you can play a little with the placement of sanitary ware and furniture. But it must be remembered that the removal from the riser, for example, a toilet bowl can most adversely affect the sewage system. So, the toilet is not recommended to be removed from the riser at a distance greater than 1.5 m, while the sewer pipe should not be bent at a right angle, the necessary pipe slope should be maintained. It is relatively painless to move the sink to the opposite wall and place a washing machine under it. For example, like this:

By the way, by attaching the pantry area to the bathroom of a separate bathroom, you can install a second toilet in it. The first will remain in its place. Enhance this space by installing a miniature sink there.

Bathroom decoration

In the design of the bathroom, especially if it is small, you should use these design techniques:

• Avoid tiles of large shapes. For cladding the walls and floor of the bathroom is traditionally used tiles. But in small bathrooms, large squares, and even with a picture, will look awkward. Choose a small tile with a glossy surface, such as glass mosaic. The panels made of mosaic look great. One of the walls, for example, adjacent to the bath, can be trimmed with mosaics, while others - with tiles of a different color, slightly larger, for example, 5 × 5 cm.
• A large bathroom mirror does not hurt, regardless of the size of the room.
• Arrange shallow drywall niches in the bathroom. They will perfectly play the role of shelves. Even better, if you build them backlight.
• As for lighting, it should be varied. Do not limit the three spotlights on the ceiling. Place wall lamps near the mirror. Highlight the shelves with LED strip - the color of the lighting can be changed. If desired, you can even organize a backlight built into the floor.
• As the primary colors for the bathroom, choose light and pastel shades. You can make a slight bright color accents.
• To save space, sometimes install a sliding door or door-accordion. However, please note that without additional modifications such doors will not be able to provide an adequate level of insulation of the room.
• And one more thing - lockers on the doorway. This space is rarely used - but in vain. Here you can organize a convenient storage space.
