Optimal organization of space for a small bathroom

A small bathroom is a problem for many city dwellers. As a rule, there you want to place everything you need for comfortable water procedures, morning and evening washings.

Traditional bathtubs are quite voluminous, and small sit-down ones are not very comfortable. Showers are a good alternative to them today.

There are quite compact, inexpensive models without a roof, equipped with a basic shower function and complete shower boxes with a variety of options.

It is important to consider the height of the products and the height of the ceiling in the bathroom. Cabins without a roof are 190-198 cm high, which is acceptable for any bathroom.

Closed models are much taller - about 200 - 215 cm. There should be a space of at least 20-25 cm between the ceiling of the bathroom and the roof of the booth. For example: in the so-called "Khrushchevs", famous for their diminutiveness, the ceiling height in the bathroom is 2.4-2.7 m.

The most popular in terms of space saving are shower cabins 80x80 with a quarter-circle pallet shape (as, for example, in the Huber A-03 (80x80)) or a square (as in the Wasserfalle W-9800 cabin). These products can be installed in any corner of a small bathroom, leaving ample space for distributing other accessories.

Booths without a pallet have their advantages in terms of visually increasing space. If the floor in such a structure is finished with a common one, the room will seem more spacious.

If the bathroom is equipped with a niche, which is not uncommon in standard apartments, then the shower a wall-mounted booth (like the GROSSMAN GR-127) can be installed there - and this will also help save space.

The height of the pallet in the arrangement of a small bathroom practically does not play a role. The highest option will be smaller than a small bath, but it will allow you to settle in as comfortable as possible - to get both shower variety and all the advantages of a bath.

As an example, consider the Ammari AM-139-80 booth - without extra options or a model with them - Fresh F 801. These and similar shower cabins 80x80 are equipped with sliding doors, which is also aimed at maximizing space savings and will be relevant for small bathrooms. Of course, they will fit stylishly into the bathroom, if the height of its ceiling allows.

But for visual expansion of the area, shower cabins with a low base are more suitable. Transparent tempered glass walls will also contribute to this.

Another nuance that will have to be considered before buying a shower stall is the water pressure in the house. In order for the unit with massage functions to work, a pressure of at least 1.5 bar is required. With a lower pressure, you can install a conventional shower stall without additional functions.
