Bathroom plan with shower. A selection of layouts for small bathrooms and toilets

A bathroom should be ... above all practical, comfortable, safe and functional. Therefore, the design of bathrooms should be carried out taking into account ergonomics and all SNiP standards in conjunction with the needs of the apartment owners.

The layout of bathrooms and bathrooms includes the arrangement of plumbing and furniture: a bathtub, a sink, a toilet bowl, a mirror, a cabinet, a heated towel rail, possibly a bidet, a washing machine, a shower cabin, as well as a wiring diagram for engineering communications: water supply, sewerage, meters, ventilation, electricity . In the article we will talk about different types of bathroom layouts, and separately touch on the design features and.

Optimal types of layout of standard bathrooms

In order to use the space as efficiently as possible, you should draw and carefully consider how plumbing and furniture will be placed.

Design projects of combined bathrooms in a linear arrangement of plumbing

If the room is rectangular, elongated and narrow, then a linear layout of plumbing is recommended, and if it is almost square, then the bathtub, toilet bowl and sink can be placed according to the radial principle, as shown in the diagram below.

Ways to place plumbing in a combined bathroom

Recently, there has been a persistent trend towards redevelopment of premises,. Such a solution, due to the removal of a wall and one door, allows you to get additional space and the opportunity to plan the situation in a new way: find an additional place to install a washing machine, cabinet, bidet or second sink. The project of a combined bathroom should be legalized, having received approval for redevelopment in the BTI.

Examples of layouts in a typical bathroom

small space

Competent layout of the combined bathroom, even at a very 2 sq.m. allows you to place all the necessary plumbing in the room, as shown in the plan below.

Small bathroom, narrow room layout with built-in shower panel

Here it is very important to take into account the composition of the family, if there are children in the house, then it is better to install a compact bath, and a shower cabin is quite suitable for arranging a restroom for adults.

With an individual layout of the room, instead of a bidet, you can install a narrow washing machine

In a separate bathroom for 2 sq.m. you can install not only a bathtub, but also a shower cabin or a built-in panel, fencing it off with a special screen. If you refuse the option with a shower, there will be a place for a washing machine.

Placement of plumbing in a small bathroom

Bathroom in a panel house and in Khrushchev

Bathrooms in typical panel houses and in Khrushchev have a standard area of 3, 3.3 and 3.75 sq.m. Most often, in such cases, the decision is made to combine small rooms, which allows you to create a comfortable and practical restroom that fits everything you need.

The standard linear layout of the restroom is 3 sq. m.

A bathroom with an area of 3.1 square meters, as a rule, has an elongated rectangular shape, so it is recommended to place all equipment along a long wall, thus, at the junction of adjacent and opposite walls, there is free space for installing a typewriter and a narrow locker.

The layout of the bathroom in Khrushchev, if you install compact plumbing, it will fit a wardrobe and a washing machine

The owners of bathrooms of 3.3 sq.m. are more fortunate, the room has almost the geometry of a square. Here you can already plan the placement of plumbing radially and linearly. And besides, it is possible to install both a bathtub and a shower cabin.

Most often, in a panel house, in order to combine a bathroom, it is enough to remove the partition between the rooms, but in this case, you have to abandon the bath in favor of a shower cabin.

Typical redevelopment of a bathroom in a panel house

If the width of the corridor allows, then sometimes in order to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe bathroom in panel houses, they “capture” part of the hallway. This is a radical way of redevelopment, which should be carefully calculated.

An example of how to plan and enlarge a bathroom through a corridor

Layout of the bathroom 4 sq. m and more

In the houses of the new series, for example, in I-155, the bathrooms are elongated, have an area of 3.9-4 sq. m. In such a room, there can be many redevelopment options. One of the most common in the diagram below: all plumbing is located in one line along a long wall.

Here, instead of a bath, you can put a shower, then free up space for a washing machine

In the same series of houses in two-room apartments, the bathroom is slightly larger and there is no bulky ventilation duct. A full-fledged bathtub fits here, and a large cabinet with a sink can be placed on the opposite wall, there is enough space under the countertop for a washing machine.

In almost square bathrooms, the bath can be placed along the wall opposite the door (plan below) or on the adjacent side (the wall on the right in the diagram). In this case, the toilet and sink are transferred to the far wall, and there will be room for a typewriter and a cabinet on the left.

Layout plan of bathrooms with dimensions of 2 * 2 m

Important: Redevelopment of a bathroom and a bathroom is a costly undertaking, since the transfer of plumbing entails a reworking of communications nodes. There are certain standards for bending pipes, their inclination and cross section, as well as rules for installing meters and shut-off valves, before proceeding with the alteration, it is necessary to complete the project documentation indicating all changes.

Typical layout of plumbing in a series of houses P-11 M

Apartments in the P-111M series of houses have a bathroom with an area of just over 5 sq.m., here redevelopment may include double sinks with a comfortable table, a bathroom, a separate shower, cabinets and shelves, a toilet and a bidet. And contrary to the prevailing trend, if you have a large family, then it is better to make such a bathroom separate so that there is separate access to the toilet and the bathroom, in which there will still be enough space to install everything you need.

Combined bathroom with toilet partition

Two sinks will be useful for those who get up for work at the same time, if there is no such need, then the usable area can be used to install a shower cabin with different SPA functions or under a wardrobe.

Redevelopment of a corner and non-standard bathroom

The non-standard shape of the bathroom may seem like a disadvantage, but with proper planning, all the minuses can be turned into advantages. Below, we have selected two plumbing layouts in complex-shaped rooms. The advantage here is the corner bath and shower, which are very difficult to fit in a rectangular space.

Bathroom layout with complex space geometry

How to legalize redevelopment

Coordination for the redevelopment of the bathroom can take place in a simplified form only according to the sketch:

If only the demolition of the partition is planned without increasing the area due to other premises.
There will be a simple transfer of communication nodes, without increasing plumbing points. That is, the sink can be moved to another wall, but it is no longer possible to put two washbasins.

To obtain a permit for a simplified redevelopment, you must submit the following documents to the housing commission:

registration certificate from BTI;
a sketch with redevelopment on a copy of the passport from the BTI, you can draw changes by hand;
a certificate of housing or a social lease agreement;
written statements of the owners of the apartment, for guardians a notarized consent.

Redevelopment of the bathroom will require the preparation of project documentation if it is planned:

an increase in the bathroom due to other areas (non-residential only: corridor, pantry), excluding the kitchen;
move the bathroom to another non-residential premises, which has a separate entrance, but it is required that there is no direct exit from the bathroom to the room or kitchen;
if you plan to increase the number of plumbing points, including the installation of an additional sink, bidet, washing machine and other appliances, the operation of which will increase water consumption.

In this case, in addition to the documents listed above, a Technical Conclusion and design documentation for redevelopment will also be required, necessarily from an organization that has SRO approval for this type of work, and a conclusion from Rospotrebnadzor.

Simple redevelopment of the combined space according to sketches

After the repair, you will need to call the representatives of the housing commission, get from them an act of work performed. Acts for hidden work will also be required: a new wiring diagram and waterproofing of the bathroom, which must be performed by an organization with an SRO permit or a management company. After that, invite a BTI technician to the apartment, he will measure the room. And finally, you will need to get a new registration certificate from the BTI, where all the changes will be made.

Often in apartments and houses, the bathroom is made combined. This is justified from the point of view of saving space (one less wall), and from the point of view of functionality too. But it’s not easy to design a bathroom: you need to properly place plumbing, and sometimes even household appliances (a water heater and a washing machine). About all the subtleties of this difficult lesson further.

Ergonomics of the bathroom

To use plumbing was convenient, it must be located at a certain height, while maintaining minimum tolerances to walls and other objects:

When designing a bathroom, these dimensions must be borne in mind, but they can and should be adjusted. They are calculated for the average height and average body size of a person. When determining the exact location of a particular piece of furniture, “try on” the distances for yourself. If you are comfortable, you can install at such a distance.

How to arrange everything

In the modern bathroom, in addition to plumbing, there is also household appliances. For lack of another place, a washing machine is placed here, and sometimes a boiler. So in addition to the toilet, sink and bath / shower, you have to look for a place for two more overall items.

Looking for a place for a car

One option is to pick up the washing machine and sink so that the washing machine is hidden under the washstand. The downside of this solution is that the sink will be higher than usual, and the machine will have to look for a narrow one. If there are tall people in the family, plumbing located a little higher - this is not scary, but the space savings are solid. The photo below is one of the options for such a bathroom design. The sink used is rectangular - there are many of these today.

Washer under the sink - a way to save space in the bathroom

If you can’t lift the washstand in any way, the machine is placed where it “fits in”. So that the place above it does not walk, you can make shelves on top. If there is a need to hang a boiler, it is the place above the typewriter.

Above the washing machine - a reasonable solution

If there is very little space, take a closer look at top-loading washing machines. They are smaller and can fit into small gaps.

Bathtub or shower

The bathroom, of course, has the advantage - you can soak in warm water in it. But it takes up a lot of space and in some cases this convenience can be neglected by placing or making a shower cabin.

If you don’t want to say goodbye to the bathroom, we will “enter” it and all the necessary items. The most obvious way is to position the sink so that one end of it is above the tub. But at the same time, you need to make sure that it is convenient to use the washbasin.

If you just use a small washbasin, this will cause significant inconvenience: splashes will fly in all directions, and there will be nowhere to put accessories. In such cases, they make a countertop (as in the photo above), line it with mosaics or tiles. This design takes up less space, and the functionality is even higher.

Another option is to put a corner bath, thereby freeing up one corner for installing a washing machine or toilet.

Corner bath - more compact

Another option is to use a custom-shaped bathroom. For example, such as in the photo. And there was a place for a typewriter ...

A custom-shaped bathroom is also an option

If, nevertheless, it is not possible to fit a bathroom into the bathroom, put a shower cabin (). Moreover, it is not at all necessary to buy ready-made, you can make it yourself - and install the doors.

A homemade shower cabin fits well into the end of a long and narrow bathroom. You can simply fence off about a meter from the wall by installing doors. Moreover, the doors can be put glass (made of tempered glass). They do not share a small space and the design of the bathroom is more harmonious.

In square rooms, part of the area is fenced off by placing a dividing wall. With this decision, it must be remembered that the minimum size of the shower stall is 90 * 90 cm. This is not enough - you can’t wave your hands strongly in such a nook, so if possible, do at least a little more.

Where to put the bidet

Using the bathroom is much more convenient if it has a bidet. It is optimal if it can be placed next to the toilet (the distance between two faience products is at least 40 cm). If there is not enough space nearby, you can install it on the opposite wall. The main thing is that there should be water and a drain.

Best bidet location

The problem is that with all the approaches, this plumbing item occupies about a meter of usable area. If the total area of the bathroom is only 4-5 sq.m. it's a lot. In this case, you can install a hygienic shower. Warm / cold water is brought to the toilet, a mixer and a flexible hose with a special nozzle are placed. In terms of functionality, this option is slightly inferior to a bidet, but it is also very convenient.

Hygienic shower near the toilet - convenient and saves space

Fashion trends in decoration

Most often, the design of the bathroom is developed taking into account the fact that the walls will be lined with ceramic tiles. Until recently, this material had no competitors. Mosaic is becoming more and more popular today. This is a very small tile (glass or ceramic) glued to a polymer mesh. Small tiles usually come in several shades, which give the walls an interesting look and are present in most modern bathroom interiors.

In the design of the walls of the bathroom, the same trends are observed - a combination of tiles of different colors and shades. As well as with, manufacturers produce tiles in collections whose design is designed so that they are combined with each other.

Bathroom design using tiles from one collection

The design styles of bathrooms have also changed - more and more often they design a room with a modern style, in the spirit of minimalism or hi-tech. When creating such an interior, rectangular plumbing and a minimum of colors are used. All these styles are characterized by neutral tones for the walls - white, gray, beige. And against this background, there may already be several bright elements from a compatible range.

Minimalist style in the design of the bathroom - no unnecessary details

However, modern plumbing in itself can be a decor. There are very decorative forms with graceful outlines.

Shower doors can also be made of colored glass to match or put dividing walls to create a more comfortable atmosphere.

Corner toilet - a rare phenomenon so far, but sometimes irreplaceable

Self-leveling floors with or without a pattern - another novelty of recent years

For those who are closer to the modern style, square or rectangular plumbing is more suitable.

Pink matte tiles in the bathroom - a different view

Juicy greens on a white background - a simple and effective tile layout (opposite side is completely green)

Unusual design - a wall in the "brick"

The combined bathroom has a huge advantage in the form of more space for a variety of design solutions. This allows you to increase the free space, add a table or shower, enlarge the bath, as a result, create a unique design of the combined bathroom. At the same time, there are a number of inconveniences associated with the difficulties of simultaneous use, especially when there are several family members.

The design of the combined bathroom begins with a clear space planning

Renovation of each room suggests that you will have to face difficulties in its design. This also applies to the bathroom, since a separate and combined toilet with a bathroom has a number of advantages and disadvantages. However, their presence can be minimized.

The main advantage of a combined bathroom is actually a large usable area due to the lack of separating partitions

Since there is more interest in a combined bathroom, therefore, the right decision would be to think over in advance, to voice all the existing positive and negative sides of having such an option in the apartment.

Advantages		disadvantages
Name	Description	Name	Description
Square	Thanks to the combination of toilet and bathroom , the usable area is maximized.	Expenses	You will have to spend money and time on documenting the planned redevelopment, as well as on permission for its implementation.
Economy	Due to the demolition of one walls finishing materials will be required much less, which will greatly save the budget.	Limitation	In a large family, staying in the bathroom can be uncomfortable, if several family members need to visit the room at once.
Disclosure of creative potential	Ability to create bathroom design using all possible, and most importantly suitable design ideas.	Pets	Bathtub the toilet can create an uncomfortable stay in it not only for family members, but also for animals living in the house, for example, a cat. Instead of two rooms to choose from, where the cat's toilet would be located, there is only one, so access to it becomes difficult if in there is someone in the room.

For a cramped bathroom, you will have to determine what is more important - a multifunctional shower or a comfortable bath

Types of layout of the combined bathroom

The decisive factor in choosing the layout of the bathroom is the door, which is located on a long or short wall. Depending on this, there are several options for organizing space.

Classic layout view

Options for the classic layout of a compact bathroom

This type of layout assumes that the bath is located along a short wall, thereby leaving enough space for the rest of the plumbing. They will find a place for themselves at the long wall.
The toilet and sink will install without any problems, perhaps a bidet will fit.
A heated towel rail will also find a place for itself, because it is so indispensable in a room with high humidity.
The final touch will be the lighting above the mirror and around the perimeter of the ceiling.

For a combined bathroom, a hanging toilet is very convenient

Advantage! This type of space organization will not make you suffer with a significant movement of plumbing and alteration of communications.

Mosaic is in fashion now

Layout options for a combined bathroom with a shower

A bathtub and a sink installed in semicircular niches will create a pleasant feeling of being in the room.
Also, each fastener of communication will hide in a box, on top of which mirrors will be installed.
This option is suitable for designing a small combined bathroom with a shower instead of a bath. The cabin made of glass can be complemented by small walls lined with PVC panels or bricks and finished with tiles. This will help soften the sharp glass cockpit and complement the interior.

Corner bath takes up less space

The rounded contours of the sink and bathtub contribute to the effect of free space.

Clarification! Creating a bathroom using the options proposed above will greatly complicate the work and lengthen the repair time.

In a bathroom with an area of \u200b\u200bless than four squares, there is a lot to fit

Functional layout option

If the door has settled on a short wall and looks directly at the wall of the same size, it is appropriate to install a shower cabin here.
The washing machine can be placed under the sink. This is how an integral object is created - a shell smoothly turning into a car.
The toilet will find a place for itself between the cabin and the sink. If possible, the drain tank will hide in the wall and will not take up much space.

The built-in washing machine significantly saves the already limited space of the combined bathroom

If the area does not allow the use of a full-fledged bath and shower, you can seal the floor and arrange a sloping drain instead of a large pallet

Advice! If the shower cabin is placed at an elevated level, the vacated space will allow you to hide all drain communications there.

A glass partition can become an element that separates the wet zone from the rest of the space.

Bathroom design with corner sink

Choosing the latter option makes it possible to save enough free space and place the washing machine, as in the previous version, under the corner sink.
Also, the corner sink makes it clear that there is a chance to put a mirror with shelves and lighting in the same corner. Thus, leaving a small part of the wall under the heated towel rail, hooks for bathrobes and other clothes.

Good layout for a small bathroom

Corner sinks are compact, while not inferior to conventional ones in actual size.

Clarification! Additionally installed small mirrors on opposite walls will visually expand the room.

Mirrors can be selected with heating, lighting, with or without a frame

However, there should not be too many mirror elements so as not to overload the interior of a small combined bathroom.

A non-standard shape of the bath is also an option

Varieties of interior design combined bathroom

The combined type of bathroom is able to try on several interior styles that suit it. They should be selected depending on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room.

Style	Description
Classic	Classic style suitable for a spacious room. After all, it requires the use of a large number of items, accessories and a massive finish on each surface.

Minimalism in the design of the bathroom - nothing more

The photo is not a full-fledged French Provence, but rather a perfect fusion of real country with modern style

Practical design solution

The choice of colors depending on the size of the bathroom

Everyone knows that a certain color can have a psychological impact on a person. In addition, the color affects the room itself: it visually narrows or expands it, makes it higher or lower, lighter or darker.

Light shades visually increase the space of a small room

Combining a toilet with a bathroom allows you to arrange a comfortable, functional bathroom of modern design in the apartment. In such a room you can install all the necessary furniture and household appliances. In addition, the owners have an excellent opportunity for the rational placement of plumbing.

Of course, the design for the combined bathroom must be chosen correctly. The same goes for the environment. For information on how you can design, furnish and finish such a restroom, read this article.

Advantages and disadvantages of a combined bathroom

Such a redevelopment, such as combining a toilet and a bathroom, can have both its pros and cons. The advantages of such a solution include, first of all:

increase in usable area;
saving money on finishing;
the possibility of developing an exclusive design and arranging plumbing according to an individual project.

The disadvantages of such a procedure are:

the need to obtain permission from the relevant authorities;
restriction on visiting the bathroom due to the combination of functional areas.

Optimal layout of the combined restroom

It is imperative to draw up a project for the repair of a combined unit. This will allow you to most conveniently distribute plumbing, furniture and household appliances.

Zoning of the premises

The layout of the combined bathroom may be different. However, in any case, such a restroom must be divided into three zones:

toilet bowl
baths;
shells.

It will not be difficult to do this with your own hands both in a square, and in a rectangular or even a corner toilet. There are two ways to select zones: architectural and visual.

Selection and placement of plumbing

Before heading to the store for a toilet, sink, and bath, draw a plan of your bathroom in the appropriate proportions on paper and “arrange” all the necessary items on it. Such a scheme will help to determine the dimensions of plumbing as accurately as possible, as well as choose its optimal location.

On a note: Today on the Internet you can find special programs interior planners.

The scheme will allow you to choose the most suitable plumbing

Actually, the choice of plumbing depends primarily on such parameters as the layout and size of the bathroom. A spacious bathroom with an original design, a beautiful sink with a countertop, a furniture set designed for bathrooms, etc. can be placed in a large restroom.

The interior of a combined bathroom of a small size (2-3 sq m) will greatly benefit if the owners decide to equip it with a corner shower or a small bathtub. A good solution would also be to buy a hanging toilet.

Advice: Equip a small toilet with a glass transparent sink. This will allow - albeit not by much - but to increase the volume of the room visually.

Photo of a small bathroom combined with a bathtub. It is possible to furnish such a room ergonomically

Place plumbing, taking into account the following requirements:

There must be at least 60 cm of free space in front of the toilet.
The paper holder is hung in such a way that it can be easily reached by hand.
The minimum free space in front of the bathtub, shower or sink is 70cm. Optimal - 120cm.

An approximate layout of plumbing in a combined bathroom

The sink should be located at a height of 80-90 cm from the floor, depending on the height of the owners of the apartment.

Finishing the combined restroom

Convenient placement of plumbing is only half the battle. Of course, the connected bathroom should be not only comfortable, but also beautiful.

Therefore, when arranging the toilet, maximum attention should be paid to the choice of finishes, lighting and decorative elements.

Wall, floor and ceiling decoration

The most popular materials for finishing bathrooms of any layout are tiles and plastic panels. The main advantages of ceramics include durability and presentable appearance. When choosing this material, you should first of all consider the dimensions of the bathroom. For a large toilet, any option is suitable. When repairing a combined bathroom in Khrushchev (3-4 sq m), it is worth using not too large tiles.

How to make repairs in a combined bathroom. Photo of a small tiled restroom

Advice: On the floor in small bathrooms, tiles are best placed diagonally. Smooth seams, parallel to the walls, emphasize the area of the room, which in this case is very undesirable.

Plastic panels also have a lot of advantages - moisture resistance, ease of installation, aesthetic appearance, etc. Their main advantage is considered to be very low cost in comparison with other materials. The disadvantages of PVC include only not particularly good resistance to mechanical impact.

A very good solution for finishing a combined bathroom can be a mosaic. This material is made of smalt, ceramics or glass. Restrooms, decorated with mosaics, look very stylish, fashionable and solid. The disadvantage of this material can be considered only rather high prices for it.

Advice: Mosaic is usually used not only for cladding walls, floors and ceilings, but also for decorating the facade of a bathroom.

Sometimes drywall is also used to finish bathrooms. With it, you can also very quickly and almost effortlessly align walls and ceilings. But it is better not to finish a small-sized toilet with this material. The fact is that, unlike PVC panels, it is mounted on a rather powerful and thick frame, and therefore “eats up” a lot of space.

Interior Design

Of course, bathrooms decorated in a single style look best. Also, when choosing the design of a combined bathroom with a bathtub, it is important to decide on the most suitable color scheme.

How to choose a style

The most popular style for a small bathroom, for example, in Khrushchev is minimalism. This design direction initially implies a minimum amount of furniture and accessories. In this case, a lot of glass and chrome elements are usually used in the restroom.

Large combined bathrooms (in a new building or in a Stalinist house) are usually decorated in a classic style. They cover such premises with expensive presentable materials. It can be, for example, high-quality tiles or even noble wood. Of course, expensive sanitary ware (marble, artificial stone, etc.) should complement the interior in this case.

On a note: A universal option for a combined bathroom is a design in a marine style. In this case, the main focus should be on the color (blue or cyan).

Choice of colors

The selection of shades for the bathroom depends primarily on the style of the interior, as well as on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. So, for the classics, restrained golden, sand and brown are more suitable. For minimalism - gray, light beige, white.

When decorating large bathrooms, it is allowed to use bright juicy tones and contrasting shades.

The design of a shared bathroom in a small area will benefit greatly if light-colored decor is used.

Advice: In the event that the walls in the bathroom are not too even, you should not use tiles in contrasting colors for zoning. This will emphasize all the defects of the room. It is better to choose a material that is only slightly different in tone.

And finally, consider a couple of interesting and unusual design options for combined bathrooms. The design of a combined bathroom in Khrushchev can, for example, be diversified with some kind of mosaic panel.

Bathroom finishes. Bathtub with spectacular mosaic dolphin on the wall

For a large restroom or a medium-sized toilet (from 5 sq. M), the option of decorating the walls with tiles laid diagonally is very good.

Tiles laid diagonally in combination with contrasting colors give the bathroom a completely unique look.

Thus, when drafting a combined bathroom, you should approach the choice of plumbing as responsibly as possible, think carefully about how to place it, decide on the style and choose a beautiful, practical finish. Subject to all these conditions, you can equip a very aesthetic, stylish and comfortable restroom.

Very often in small 1-room apartments - Khrushchev, Stalinka and even modern bathrooms are also small - about 2-3 sq.m. Saving on the price of an apartment, sadly enough, entails a low level of comfort.

But how is it necessary to live? What to do to equip a small area correctly? You need to thoroughly develop the design of your bathroom. Interior design in your apartment in general, and the bathroom in particular, can be made as comfortable as possible for life. And if the area of the bathroom is not more than 2 sq.m.?

The main thing is to choose the “correct” layout before starting repairs.
For example, a built-in sink and a large wardrobe will take on several functions at once in a small area.

Paying tribute to the fashion for a luxurious bathroom, everyone dreams of a spacious bright room with a window. But when dreams do not match reality, do not be upset. In Paris, no one faints from the fact that he lives in a room with the same area of 2-3 square meters. m.

Your small, but so familiar, small bathroom can be equipped in such a way that it will surprise you with its transformation into a comfortable corner of comfort and bliss with all the necessary functions.

Small bathroom design

Of course, the design of a small bathroom of 2 square meters. m will require more ingenuity and reasonable imagination than a bathroom of 3-4 sq.m. Indeed, in its interior it is necessary to accommodate the same necessary pieces of furniture and plumbing.

A thoughtful approach to this issue will give her the opportunity to look no worse, and even more advantageous than some large bathrooms. Moreover, as you know, there are no hopeless situations.

The old rectangular bath, which occupies half the room, can be replaced with a nice sit-down or alternative asymmetric one, which will immediately save a couple of tens of precious centimeters.
A more advantageous solution is to install a shower cabin, fortunately, they are only 90 × 90 cm in size. And perhaps it is better to give preference to a rational shower enclosure that fits perfectly into the interior of a miniature bathroom. You can install it without a pallet, equipping the floor with a slope. This shower is easy to install. After all, you need only two pipes - for water supply and for sewage. But in the shower you can get additional amenities in the form of hydromassage, lighting, radio. And a shower cabin with a mini-steam room can become the embodiment of the desires of those who like to take a steam bath.
Since a bathroom is indispensable without a washbasin, it is better to opt for a small original sink and embed it into the cabinet. If a standard cabinet does not fit into the space allotted for it, such furniture can always be made to order. This installation will solve several problems: it will hide communication pipes, shelter household chemicals and hygiene products, and remove everything that clutters it up from the floor. Such a cabinet is most often finished with materials used for wall decoration, so that it easily fits into the harmonious unity of the interior.
The console version of a small toilet will make it possible to place a small elegant cabinet for small items under it. And if a universal model of the toilet bowl is chosen, then the pride of the modern toilet will appear - a bidet. All communication pipes can be safely hidden. A resourceful craftsman will place them in recesses hollowed out in the walls or in special boxes. Only the plumbing buttons will remain visible. You can already breathe freely.
In a small bathroom, all design and decor elements should work. This also applies to mirrors. It is designed to ennoble the interior, expand the space and add light to the design. It doesn't have to be framed. A mirror glass shower enclosure or a mirrored hanging cabinet door will effectively solve the problem.

Design nuances

The subtleties of the design of a small bathroom are based on illusory effects, because a small room cannot become large. But to make it not cluttered and bright in our power. First of all, you need to take care of soft, cozy and uniform lighting.

It is best to have two light sources: general and local, installed by the mirror. This is a great and effortless tool for visually increasing the space. In addition, the comfortable light at the mirror allows you to really appreciate the dignity of your face at any time of the day.

The second nuance is the right choice of color and size of tiles. Light pastel colors are what you need for a small room. Matte medium-sized tiles with a delicate vertical pattern will visually make the room look higher. Although glossy, reflecting light, is also used with success. A newfangled introduction, a stylish bath screen will give a special chic to the interior.

The role of such a screen can be performed by sheathing the visible wall of the bathtub with the same tiles as the walls. But it is better to lay the tiles on the floor diagonally. With lines stretching into the distance, the room will appear longer. The color of the floor tiles should match the color of the walls, which blurs the boundaries and illusory expands the room.

You should not get carried away with trendy trends in the form of patchwork wall painting in a small room. Poorly selected paints can cut and reduce the room. The next design trick can be considered advice on the use of light transparent materials in the interior, elegant sizes of decor elements and plumbing objects.

Matte, transparent and colored glass for the walls of the shower cabin, hanging shelves, cabinet doors makes the design delicate and airy.

A pleasant combination of mirrors, skillfully selected lighting, the presence of chrome parts and surfaces with a coquettish sheen will make any room spacious. But the appearance of several or even one bulky frame, door or cabinet will nullify all efforts, make the room cramped.

The important role of a raisin can be played by an interesting lamp made of colored glass, a bright artificial aquarium hung on the wall, an original soap dish, a tool for toothbrushes, an unusual rug near the bath or a unique toilet lid.

One of the design rules for a small bathroom is that there should not be an abundance of any small items in sight. They hide space and create the appearance of tightness.

The design uses only light colors that symbolize freshness and spaciousness. It is not necessary to stop only on white: it can be pale blue, beige and other pastel shades.
It is better to avoid large ornaments, drawings. They visually take up space. Small patterns or even small mosaics will be much more pleasing to the eye.
If you want to free up space for a washing machine or washbasin, put a shower stall. But if there is an alternative (for example, a washing machine can be in the kitchen, a washbasin too), use it. Relaxing in the bathroom is very useful, especially when there is a lot of work.
A scattering of small fluorescent light bulbs, ribbons with LEDs will visually increase the space. Mirrors will help them with this.
If a major overhaul is being started, try to remove everything superfluous into the walls: pipes, cabinets. Maybe you can make a niche in the wall above the bathroom, which will play the role of a shelf?

Important: there are rules that regulate the remoteness of plumbing and pipes, protection of electrical wiring and other things. Professional design projects take this into account.

Finishing the bathroom 2 sq. meters

A huge number of finishing materials for bathrooms have been invented, they all have their advantages and disadvantages. So, for example, one material can be very beautiful and durable, but expensive. At the same time, economical and inexpensive - will not be so practical. Check out our proposals in the 2.5 sq.m bathroom design catalog and choose one or more projects that are suitable for the cost of repairs.

Ceramic tiles are traditionally used in the decoration of bathrooms; this is one of the most reliable and durable waterproof materials. By tiling the walls, you can be sure that you will not have to think about repairs for many years to come, unless you just want to update the interior. The tile is easy to clean, however, it practically does not get dirty.

Another, no less practical material is mosaic. It has several important advantages over tiles:

lays on uneven surfaces, curved walls, columns, etc.,
allows you to create any drawing,
more securely fastened due to the low weight of individual tiles,
suitable not only for walls and floors, but also for plumbing.

In a 3 sq.m bathroom, a design with a mosaic will fit perfectly: large patterns on ordinary tiles will certainly narrow the space, while a small mosaic pattern will only expand it.

Mosaics and tiles are also suitable for the floor, just pay attention to the surface of the material. In no case should the bathroom floor be slippery, because in a wet bathroom on a slippery floor it is very easy to fall and get injured. For the floor, it is better to use rough floor tiles.

More economical options for the bathroom are water-repellent wallpaper, paint, plastic panels. In addition to the fact that these materials are cheaper, finishing work with them will also cost less due to ease of operation.

Bathroom color schemes

Of course, the colors should be chosen light. You will not find black walls and brown ceilings in 2.2 sq.m bathroom design projects, because these colors eat up a huge chunk of space, absorbing light. Therefore, light colors are most often used, both in decoration and in furniture and plumbing.

Glossy surfaces will help in expanding the space, as they better reflect the rays. In this sense, the mirror surface is interesting. It is known that the more mirrors in the bathroom, the lighter and more spacious it is. But in addition to simple mirrors, there is also a mirror tile. In the bathroom, it is best to lay it on the ceiling so that it helps to illuminate the bathroom. But you can also on one of the walls - this wall will play the role of an ordinary full-length mirror.

And only the floor has the right to be dark, because. it doesn't affect the visual size of the room that much. White, black, checkered - all of these options are suitable if the ceiling and walls are light enough.

Bathroom design 2.2 sq.m. does not have to be white and flooded with light, like an operating room. It can be bright, have rich colors and contrasting combinations. In a professional design project, the colors will be correctly calculated with the correct proportions. Too many bright colors can make a small bathroom feel cramped, so it's important to dilute them properly with lighter shades. You will find various techniques for painting small bathrooms in our projects.

Storage in the bathroom: the choice of furniture

So that a small bathroom does not form a mess, you need to have enough storage space. In good design, these places are provided, as a result of which you do not have to look for where to put this or that thing. Even in a bathroom of 2.5 sq.m, the design created by a professional will ensure easy and comfortable use of all elements, after which a spontaneous bunch of little things will not form in places not intended for this.

With a lack of space, all corners, niches and free pieces of walls are used. For example:

Leaving the space under the sink empty is very irrational. It is much better to install a special cabinet in which the necessary things will be stored, and a sink will be built into it. In addition, this solution allows you to hide water pipes,
the wall behind the toilet should definitely be used: hang a long flat cabinet with many shelves,
in the niches available in the bathroom, you can build in cabinets and cover them with doors, outwardly they will be almost imperceptible, while these will be full-fledged storage areas.

Bathroom 2 sq. m. Ideas for design

Bathrooms 2 sq.m with bathtub

If the presence of a separate bath is a prerequisite, then it is desirable to provide for the placement of the washing machine and sink in another place.
Even on an area of 2 sq. m it is possible to install a spacious Jacuzzi.

Together with a jacuzzi in a small room, you can place a laundry basket, fix a small closet on the wall. Roomy furniture in this case will not work.

Most often, such plumbing is closed with partitions, ensuring a comfortable stay in the room. The sitting model is even installed in a combined bathroom in order to combine all the necessary functions in one space.

Compact plumbing allows you to complement the room not only with a sink, but also with a toilet bowl, if there is a need to make a combined bathroom.

Rules for the improvement of a small bathroom

Choosing plumbing

Perhaps you dreamed that in your own apartment there would definitely be a spacious bathtub with a hydromassage? A small bathroom is no reason to refuse comfortable Jacuzzi. but keep in mind that you will have to give up the sink and washing machine, floor cabinets. Perhaps with a spacious bath in the corner there is a place for a laundry basket, and on the wall - for a locker with a mirrored facade, but the possibilities will end there.

Therefore, most often they go the other way - the bath, as the most cumbersome plumbing fixture, is replaced with shower cabin. Moreover, it is better not to buy a ready-made pallet, since it will also be bulky, but to slightly raise the floor, lay out the podium with tiles at a slope to drain the water, correctly mount the drain and close this entire space with light doors made of translucent glass or plastic.

Such a shower will practically not take up space, but will not deprive your daily hygiene procedures of comfort. Standard shower room dimensions are 800×800 or 800×1000 mm.

A variant with a sit-down bath up to 1.2 meters long is also possible, which can also be closed with partitions. The bathroom also needs a washbasin. The optimal forms are a tulip or a bedside table in which a sink is built. It is better to place it directly next to the bathroom so that one faucet for two appliances functions, or next to the toilet if the room has a shower.

If a shower cabin is installed, then a washing machine can be placed next to it. Top-loading models are considered more compact, while horizontal-loading models can be covered with a table top, turning it into a multifunctional shelf. The choice of a specific option depends on whether there will be a place in the bathroom to open the door.

As for heating appliances, heating radiators in a modest bathroom are abandoned, replacing them with comfortable and compact heated towel rails. They can be flat or tubular and are often made of stainless steel or chromed metal.

We install furniture

install a narrow pencil case in one of the corners, occupying the entire area from floor to ceiling,
use modular furniture - a bedside table under the sink and a wall cabinet with a mirror above it,
corner cabinets,
tall open shelving
open glass shelves that visually will not clutter up the space.

Lighting nuances

Properly chosen lighting in a small bathroom is a great way to provide a feeling of spaciousness, at least visually. To do this, they refuse from the central hanging chandeliers and mount spotlights that emit diffused light at head level.

Finishing materials and design

Tiles or plastic panels are considered traditional materials for finishing a small bathroom. and most often choose different light colors. You can choose white tiles or any of the pastel shades with a glossy surface - they reflect light well, and therefore contribute to the expansion of space.
