Small Bathroom Design: Optimal Solutions
A small bathroom often causes headaches when planning a renovation.
It seems that it is simply impossible to place all the necessary equipment in a confined space.
However, experienced designers know that even the tiniest bathroom can be transformed into a cozy and functional space, says Yulia Tychino .
The main thing is to use every centimeter of space wisely and take into account the needs of the residents.
First, you need to decide on the location of the plumbing. In a small bathroom, the best solution would be to install a shower cabin. This will help save space and get rid of an inconvenient partition.
It is better to place the shower cabin at the far end of the bathroom so that it does not interfere with opening the door.
A washing machine is installed nearby - it is convenient to connect it to the drain and water supply from the shower.
If the bathroom area does not allow for a washing machine, you can use a dishwasher - it is much more compact. A cabinet with a sink is placed next to the shower cabin.
There are several options here. You can install a corner cabinet if the layout allows. Then you can place a mirrored cabinet for goods on top.
Another good option is a cabinet with drawers. This design will help to make the most of the storage space.
Special attention should be paid to lighting. In a small bathroom, lighting should be as functional as possible.
It is advisable to combine a ceiling lamp, lamps on the sides of the mirror and lighting for the lower cabinets.
As for the finishing, it is better to choose light colors to visually expand the space. White, beige, light blue, gray are perfect. Dark colors will only visually reduce the already cramped room.
The choice of flooring deserves special attention. Ceramic tiles are suitable for a small bathroom. The main thing is that they are non-slip, moisture-resistant and at the same time visually expand the space.
For example, imitation wood gives a good effect. This solution will make the bathroom more comfortable. You can also use a large tile pattern directed vertically - this will also help to visually increase the height of the room.
The main thing in the design of a small bathroom is to use every centimeter wisely, visually expand the space and focus on functionality. Then even the tiniest room will turn into a comfortable and cozy space.
