Want to change the design, install modern equipment and not waste your money. How to avoid mistakes when planning repairs, save time and money?
How to turn obstacles into opportunities
A good way is an expensive designer, professional builders, money in advance and the result in a month. You may even like the result. But not a fact. Designers come and go, and you live in this apartment.
Our option is to make your dreams come true on your own. What would you like to change, rearrange, remove? Think over everything to the smallest detail, coordinate with your household, take into account the wishes of everyone. It will take some time, but in the future everyone will be happy. And you will save on the designer.
Zoning
Recently, the bathroom is increasingly being combined with a bathroom. The partition between them is the ability to hide all communications, place a washbasin on one side, a toilet and a bidet on the other. Saves space a lot.
The main task of the repair is not only the replacement of old materials with new ones, but also the creation of comfortable conditions for using the bathroom. For this, there are free space norms:
- at least 100 cm in front of the bathroom;
- in front of the toilet 60 cm;
- in front of the washbasin at least 70 cm;
- towel warmers and hangers are located 50-70 cm from the bath or shower;
It is your right to disregard these recommendations. But, every time you hit the partition or side of the bathtub, you will remember about optimizing the space.
Another way to visually divide the bathroom is zoning using the color and texture of the materials.
Equipment
Do not overload the room with equipment. Choose compact views.
- Bath. Takes a central place. Installed on a podium or recessed into the floor. The type and dimensions depend on the size of the room and the preferences of the owners.
- The shower column is a modern solution. Tropical (overhead) shower on a rigid stand and hand shower on a flexible hose. Will suit everyone at home.
- Washbasin. The best choice is a cabinet with a large mirror on legs. The mirror visually expands the room. The cabinet allows you to hide all the little things you need, the presence of legs - it is convenient to be located at the sink.
- Toilet. Floor standing or hanging. It is impossible not to find "your" option.
- Washer. Models from 30 cm wide will fit into any niche.
Materials
A question of your taste and wallet. The main thing is to determine the style and color. The store will help you calculate the required number of tiles. Dry mixes for facing, the primer is easy to pick up by yourself.
In small rooms, everything is in sight: use solid material. If you want to save as much as possible: decorate the most open space beautifully.
