Fits everything! Or 5 secrets of decorating a miniature bathroom

Regardless of its size, any bathroom must be functional, practical, comfortable and aesthetic. But the smaller its area, the more difficult it is to achieve this. However, there are a few secrets that can help turn the smallest closet into a full bathroom!

Good afternoon dear friends!

The main thing when designing, renovating and arranging a small bathroom is not to rush and not try to finish the renovation faster. It is better to spend a little more time and effort at the initial stage when drawing up a design project (even your personal one) for choosing a layout, finishing materials, plumbing, furniture and accessories. Than "bite your elbows" later after dirty, rather complicated and expensive work.

Although sometimes this is not a panacea! In general, I will not beat around the bush, but I will reveal to you 5 secrets of decorating a mini-bathroom.

1.Detailed study of the bathroom. That is, the rejection of unnecessary details in the interior! How can we achieve this? It's that simple! Before starting to make a design project, it is advisable to make a list of your "wishes" and needs: a full-fledged shower cubicle or a stripped-down bathtub, a toilet bowl or installation, a set furniture or just one cupboard in the ceiling... Answer the question: "How much storage space is needed?" Based on all this, you will be able to draw up the best option for yourself. bathroom.

For example, to save floor space, you can place a tall and narrow wall cabinet or a hanging cabinet under the sink. Add several shelves above the door, provide niches for storing bathroom accessories.

2.Application of design tricks. Do not buy the first thing that you liked in the store (decoration materials, plumbing fixtures, pieces of furniture, accessories ...). First, study the design solutions, and then try to "try on" them in your bathroom. For example, light trims on the walls and floors will visually make your bathroom look bigger. A similar effect will be created by the farthest wall, decorated with dark tiles. And a black thin vertical strip running from floor to ceiling will visually increase its height.

Finally, a properly positioned mirror will add volume to the bathroom, add light and change the sense of space in it.

3.Shower, not bathroom. Unfortunately, in a bathroom with an area of 2-3 square meters, it would be more correct to refuse a bath (even the smallest one) in favor of a shower. It is more practical, since it will take up significantly less space on the floor, especially if you place it in the corner of the room and do not erect massive false partitions.

However, a false partition will come in handy if you have a long and narrow bathroom. For it will help not only aesthetically zone the space, but also visually correct the geometry of the room.

4.Competent storage system. In a tiny room, furniture (cabinets, open shelves, shelves, hooks, baskets) for storing all kinds of things and accessories is of paramount importance. Since you need to "hide" a lot!

So, so that a small room does not look cluttered, use shallow hanging cabinets (or on thin legs), corner pencil cases and cabinets, vertical heated towel rails, glass shelves, niches, etc. All this will allow you to leave the floor free, which means - to create the illusion of more. space!

5."Two in one". When arranging a small space, try to use multifunctional equipment! For example, a mirror cabinet with built-in shelves, a vanity unit with drawers and shelves, a combined heated towel rail with a shelf, etc.

By the way, plumbing - a hanging toilet and a sink - will also save a few useful square centimeters.
