Little Bathroom Interior Design

Apartments in homes that were built in Soviet times are not distinguished by a big hid. In particular, the small area was assigned to the bathrooms and especially this question is relevant for "Khrushchev". And, despite the fact that modern developers offer spacious apartments, not everyone has the opportunity to purchase them. For this reason, do not lose the relevance of the solution to increase the small prace through the design of the room.

Color solution for small space

Before starting repair transformations, a small bathroom is desirable to prepare the design project of this room. Such a sketch involves a full-fledged image on a bathroom paper after all repair work. And the first thing worth paying attention is the color scheme room.

Visually to increase the space of the bathroom of a small size will help properly selected colors. To do this, keep the main design techniques:

1. A successful choice in the case of a small-scale bathroom will be neutral pastel colors.
2. To avoid a "compressed space", the main elements can be allocated using bright shades that will harmoniously contrast with the main background of the room.
3. Details of the decor should be chosen in soft colors. This will be the best solution, since the interior items, made in too light shades, can look inexpressively, and too bright colors will have a tasteless look.
4. When placing floor, you can use some embossed tiles that will contrast with the main palette.
5. It is advisable to adhere to the principle of minimalism using only 2-3 major tones in the room decoration.

Registration of surfaces in the room

The design of a small bathroom begins with the thinking of interior solutions for surfaces. Flooring, walls and ceiling can significantly affect the visual perception of the bathroom. To achieve a visual increase in space, you can use such recommendations:

1. The ceiling and the floor should be arranged in the bright range. Well in this case, the tile of natural shades is suitable.
2. There is a wide variety of ceiling finishing options. You can use graphic or stained glass design, also glossy, stretch or suspended options.
3. Note that the floor and walls should not be decorated in one color palette.
4. For a bathroom, a successful choice will be a light tile finish with the addition of accents that can be created using dark ceramics.
5. It is also permissible to apply a ceramic lining of large size in the design, since fewer seams will create an impression of a more monolithic wall.
6. Mosaic will be pretty good. It will help to arrange accents on certain areas of the room, hiding a small female.
7. The mirror wall will allow visually twice the small space.
8. Remember that in the process of finishing a small-sized bathroom, you should not use a complex tiled masonry, because it will look too cumbersome. It is also not necessary to use a dark color in the border finish.
9. Choosing a floor covering, it is worth paying special attention to its anti-slip and water-repellent properties. Such properties have linoleum, waterproof laminate and ceramic tiles.

Correct lighting

A significant role in the visual magnification of a small size bath is played by correctly performed lighting. To visually expand the space, you can resort to such tricks:

• if possible, make large windows in the wall or in the ceiling. Even if it is the only source of lighting, it will still help to achieve the effect of visual space;
• give preference to combined lighting made in several levels. It can be lamps built into the ceiling placed near the mirror or in the table top.

Plumbing selection to optimize space

In a small bathroom, the main square is occupied by furniture and plumbing. Therefore, it is desirable to think the most functional interior. To do this, take into account such subtleties:

1. It is recommended to install a shower cabin instead of a bathroom that takes the scarce space with its size. In addition to small sizes, the cabin has an additional advantage in the form of holders and shelves for bath accessories. A model with glass flaps will further increase the bathroom room. The combined version of the shower and the bathroom will also make a convenient solution.
2. Significantly increased free space in the room will allow the sink that is attached to the wall. The place formed under it can be used to accommodate the washing machine or the couch.
3. For a small-sized bathroom, you should choose the plumbing of the corner type. Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of such a plumbing equipment. However, note that in this case it is necessary to take care of the additional waterproofing of those walls on which it will be established.
4. A glass sink will be a spectacular and useful solution, which will simultaneously perform a decorative role and contribute to an increase in space.
5. When choosing a washing machine, you should pay attention to the model with horizontal loading of linen. In this case, the surface of the machine can be used as an additional shelf.

Furniture room decoration

A small room dictates the condition for the presence of the minimum, the most necessary set of furniture. But at the same time, it should not lose its functionality. In order for the room to be the most compatible as possible, you can use the following ideas for its design:

1. In the bathroom, you can put a small wardrobe under the sink, as well as the pencil, several niches or shelves in the wall.
2. No less useful attribute for saving space will be a locker with a reflective door located on the wall. It will serve as a place at the same time to accommodate things and a mirror.
3. When repairing a small bathroom, you should choose furniture only bright shades.
4. Also suitable glass furniture and glittering surfaces.
5. To optimize space in the room, the most suitable option will be placed furniture on the wall.
6. If the choice is made in favor of floor furniture, it must be at high legs.
7. It will be unprofitable to look in a small bathroom a large number of accessories and various details.

Obtaining additional space by redevelopment

You can visually increase the place in the room and by redevelopment by connecting the bathroom and the toilet. This will provide an opportunity to more rationally place the plumbing by increasing the useful space. Also, the repair and finishing of the combined sanitary zone will cost cheaper.
The combination of the bathroom and the toilet involves the elimination between these two rooms of the existing partition and the bookmark of one of the doors. Even more significantly increase the area at the expense of non-residential premises, in particular the corridor. This redevelopment should be issued in the BTI service and in a communal enterprise, the department of which is home.

Before starting work, placement of hydraulic systems should be provided. Since often after dismantling the wall, old communications become an interference for further repair indoors. The exit in this situation can be a specially intended metal frame, which serves to attach all the necessary plumbing and conducting pipes.

Reference sequence

1. First, you should remove the former plumbing, pipeline and facing material.
2. Then dismantle the partition connecting the bathroom and the toilet.
3. After that, we install a new sewer and plumbing system.
4. To ensure good ventilation indoors, it is necessary to do a hole at the bottom of the wall. Insert into it a small piece of pipe (6-7 cm long), which should go into the kitchen or in the corridor.
5. Then carry out the electrically conductive system. In this case, it is better to use a three-in-room cable. We land and install additional switches and sockets.
6. Using primer, it is necessary to process the wall of the combined space.
7. Then pour the floor by bitumen or resin, this will provide additional waterproofing. After that, we make a concrete tie.
8. As soon as the surface of the floor is dry, we make laying the finishing material. For the bathroom, the most suitable option will be a ceramic tile.
9. Next, we decorated the ceiling. We carry out the finish with the help of the selected material, taking into account the above tips.
10. Then go to the walls of the walls. The most suitable materials for this will be a ceramic tile or plastic panels.
11. Install the plumbing and connect it to communications.
12. After that, the bathroom is ready for the placement of furniture, fixing lockers, mirrors, shelves and other accessories.
    

Recommendations for redevelopment

1. Before starting work, the project plan should be drawn up and calculate the necessary building materials.
2. In mandatory, you need to take care of the waterproofing of the room. Remember that the hidden work on waterproofing should be issued an additional act.
3. Communications must be placed in such a way that in the case of urgent repair work there was free access to them.
4. Significant bathroom area occupy inexpediently placed pipes, communications and heated towel rails. To optimize space, replace the iron pipes by plastic materials.
