When designing, several important points are taken into account:

• proper zoning of premises in individual project combined bathroom;
• correct placement of plumbing fixtures;
• individual design of a combined bathroom

Regardless of whether the bathroom in your apartment is large or small, square or narrow, it will definitely be divided into three main zones:

• toilet (a bidet can also be installed in the toilet area);
• bath or shower;
• sink.

If the combined bathroom is large enough in area, we will provide additional zones. For example, an individual zone for a washing machine or other household appliances.

The choice and placement of plumbing directly depends on the layout of your combined sanitary unit - narrow or wide, square or rectangular, etc. For example, in a large room you can use an original type of bathtub. Also, if the combined sanitary unit has enough high ceiling, it is possible to install a shower box in which the shower cabin is combined with a small bathtub.

For a small area and narrow room you will have to choose simpler plumbing. For example, a small narrow bathtub or a corner shower stall will do.

Regardless of the size of the room, only quality materials and plumbing. We entered into an agreement with manufacturers of finishing materials and furniture for bathrooms. You can order all design elements shown in the project at a favorable discount.

Create beautiful design a combined bathroom is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Considering that the room will perform at least two functions - a bathroom and a toilet (not to mention a laundry room), you will have to think through the layout and functional content every centimeter.

Every day we visit the bathroom several times: getting ready for work, putting ourselves in order before important events, getting ready for bed in the evening. How to combine a bathroom with a toilet so that it is comfortable to stay in the room and take all hygiene procedures?

Pros and cons of a bathroom combined with a toilet

As they say, as many people as there are so many opinions. For some, a combination of two wet rooms is a need to save a few precious centimeters, for others it is an inviolable prohibition, which has many reasons. But, oddly enough, deciding whether to combine a bathroom with a toilet can only be done by analyzing all the advantages and disadvantages of such a planning solution.

The main disadvantage of a combined bathroom for many is the impossibility of big family use the toilet and bathroom at the same time. Although there are residents who are not at all bothered by such a restriction. Moreover, to distinguish functional areas Can mobile partitions and curtains.

Of course, this drawback may confuse many users who will not even consider the merits of such a combination. And here we will talk about this.

One of the advantages of a combined bathroom is an increase in the usable area of ​​the hygienic room due to the demolition of the partition. After all, it takes up enough space. And this wall also needs to be finished and decorated - that’s another plus for you (saving on finishing materials).

The second most important advantage is the psychological component. It is human nature to perceive spacious rooms as more comfortable and elite. And you won’t have to worry about decorating a small room, since choosing a style direction for a spacious bathroom is much easier.

IN standard apartments Most often, the bathroom and toilet are separate, but the layout of a small bathroom leaves much to be desired: in the toilet, your knees rest against the door, and in the bathroom there is nowhere to put a washing machine... So many people think about combining two rooms. Of course, any redevelopment will have to be legalized: order a project, run through the authorities, collect permits and signatures. But the result is worth it.

Layout of a combined bathroom

If we talk about apartments in Khrushchev or Stalin buildings, then even after redevelopment it is unlikely that you will be able to get a large room, but we will try to consider layout options for bathrooms with an area of ​​3 to 5 square meters. meters. In apartments with an improved layout, as a rule, you can count on an area of ​​5 square meters, which provides a huge opportunity for flights of fancy in terms of design and design.

harmonious environment and functional interior A small bathroom combined with a toilet can only be achieved by properly planning every centimeter of space. Of course, furnishing 3 meters is not the same as conjuring a one-meter toilet, but even in this tiny room you will have to cram everything you need: a sink, toilet, bath or shower, if possible, a washing machine and storage space. If you want to get something bigger, you need to do something smaller, but not at the expense of functionality.

Below we present several planning solutions for a bathroom along with a toilet with an area of ​​about 3 square meters. Please note that the room can be either square, rectangular or trapezoidal. The dimensions of each wall range from 1.2 square meters to 2.5. The long side can be either opposite the door or in contact with it.

In both the first and second options, all the necessary items for carrying out hygiene procedures fit into an area of ​​3 meters. A bath or shower is a personal choice for everyone. Most often, owners prefer to install a small but full bath. A shower cabin opens up more possibilities in terms of placing additional items, for example, a washing machine or increasing storage space.

Tip: free-standing shower stalls have long gone out of fashion, but construction pallet, equipped with a ladder and glass doors - a fairly popular solution among modern designers.

Pastel colors and communications hidden in the wall will help to visually increase the area of ​​the room.

Quite often this is the area of ​​the combined bathroom. Such dimensions allow you to accommodate a full-fledged bathtub and even a compact washing machine, which can be placed either under the sink or in a separate laundry area.

Please note: the toilet installation allows you to save space and make the combined bathroom tidier. Modern built-in drainage systems are quite easy to maintain and do not require frequent repairs.

Most designers prefer to use custom-made furniture items in their projects based on their own sketches. This approach ensures that all components in the room find their place and every useful inch is used. For a bathroom that is combined with a toilet, solutions are possible such as a countertop for a sink, finished with tiles or mosaics, as well as cabinets and shelves made according to custom sizes. A laundry basket or even a washing machine can easily fit under the countertop.

Please note: if you are using clear glass for a shower stall, the room will become visually smaller, but drops of dried water will be visible on it.

Layout of a combined bathroom with an area of ​​5-6 m2

Depending on the shape of the room, the layout of a combined bathroom with an area of ​​5 square meters or more can be of several types: corner, U-shaped, linear. The first two are used in square rooms, and the linear one is for an elongated bathroom. In such a room, you can already think about not only comfortable, but also beautiful plumbing fixtures, design elements and the delimitation of functional areas.

So, to separate the toilet from the bathroom itself, you can use a partition with frosted glass or a niche-rack made of plasterboard. You can choose a full-size bathtub rather than a compact one. And install the washing machine separately. There is also room for storage, a heated towel rail, and a laundry basket. Below we give examples of layouts to show by example how to furnish a bathroom with a toilet on 5-6 square meters:

Which plumbing fixtures to choose for a combined bathroom

The psychological perception of the interior is influenced by two factors: color design and arrangement of furniture and plumbing fixtures. We will talk about color later, but now we will focus on those nuances that will help you choose plumbing fixtures that are suitable in size and functionality. In design, there are certain rules for the placement and selection of items for a specific interior.

1. In small hygienic rooms, give preference to wall-hung sinks and toilets, which create a floating effect and leave free space underneath.
2. When renovating your bathroom, be sure to replace all pipes and hoses to avoid the problem of leaking taps for a long time.
3. If you decide to place the washing machine under the sink, choose a special “flat” siphon.
4. The most wear-resistant plumbing fixtures are made of stone and composite material.
5. When choosing a toilet, pay attention to the angle of the sewer pipe.
6. Corner models of bathtubs, sinks and toilets will help to significantly save space.

When choosing any object in the bathroom, you will have to start from the separated communications. Even the most beautiful interior a combined bathroom may, in practice, turn out to be very non-functional and inconvenient, which will require alterations in the future.

Finishing materials

High-quality materials for finishing the room are an indispensable condition to obtain a beautiful and stylish design of a combined bathroom. Bathroom - room with high humidity, and therefore, the finish must meet the requirements of wear and moisture resistance. Moreover, a bathroom combined with a toilet is doubly exposed to operational loads. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will be able to save money.

The most practical material for the bathroom was and remains ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware, both for walls and floors.

Walls

Ceramic tiles, although a common solution for the bathroom, are not the only one. So, in order to reduce the finishing budget, you can resort to the following: bottom part Cover the entire room, as well as the shower area, with ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware, and paint the top with moisture-resistant paint. Plastic panels are a super-economy option, but in this case there is no question of durability. And even more so, you should not use wallpaper in the bathroom, even if it is moisture resistant.

As for the choice of shades, then color palette And wide range textures make it easier for even the most picky buyer to choose.

Floor

Floors in a combined bathroom require an even more careful approach. And not only in terms of decoration. Firstly, during repairs you should take care of waterproofing and high-quality screed. It is possible to decide to install a heated floor (either into the screed itself or under the tile adhesive).

Well, the second stage is the choice of flooring. Ceramic tiles and artificial stone are considered time-tested options. Linoleum, even the most expensive, is an economical option and will last less than the simplest tile. And yet, if you decide to buy linoleum, then choose a non-slippery coating.

Ceiling

Humidity and temperature changes are the main operating conditions for any bathroom. Water vapor and warm air rise up and do not have the best effect on the ceiling. Therefore, the ceiling in the bathroom must be practical and wear-resistant. Stretch ceilings or painting have similar characteristics. It is allowed to decorate the ceiling with mosaics or plastic panels.

Don’t forget to immediately think about the wiring for sockets, switches and lighting equipment. Stretch ceiling And plastic panels allow the use of recessed lamps. Color solution modern ceilings may not only be white.

Which style to choose for a combined bathroom

It is impossible to imagine a beautiful bathroom design without choosing your own specific style for it. It is the combination of all finishing elements, decor and suitable plumbing that will highlight the taste of the home owners. You need to choose a style at the very first stage of work, before starting repairs, since the laying of communications, wires and pipes, installation/dismantling of structures largely depends on the chosen direction.

It is also worth starting from the dimensions of the room, since many styles will not suit small bathrooms. The design is based on the principle of zoning three areas: latrine, washroom, bathing area (toilet, sink and bath or shower, respectively). All elements are arranged depending on the frequency of use.

• Modern style for the bathroom can be used as in small room, and in a spacious one. A minimum of details, hidden communications, built-in plumbing, strict clear lines and the absence of unnecessary decor - these are the main features modern style. It is important to choose the right main background and accent details, to create correct lighting. Illuminated mirrors, installation toilets and wall-hung sinks, and glass partitions are actively used, creating a feeling of airy and light space.
• Classic in a combined bathroom can look no less elegant and expensive than minimalism. Strict order in the placement of plumbing fixtures and elegant decor will help make a small bathroom comfortable and cozy. You shouldn’t overload the interior with unnecessary decor; a couple of accent details in the form of a forged chandelier or beautiful candlesticks on a shelf will be enough. Modern manufacturers of sanitary ware offer products for every taste, so choosing all the items to match the chosen style will not be difficult. Carved handles, painting on the fronts of the cabinets, embroidery on the towels and a mirror in an aged frame - and you’re ready modern classics in all its incarnation.
• Country style(country, Provence) implies an abundance of wood in the interior. But the bathroom is not a room where you can use a lot of wood products and finishes. Therefore, when choosing rustic style For the bathroom, give preference to materials that imitate wooden textures and colors; for example, for walls and floors, porcelain stoneware would be the optimal solution. Drawers and furniture, if they are made of wood, must be treated with a special water-repellent impregnation. The Provence style is characterized by pastel colors, aged handles on furniture, stylized plumbing, and ruffled textiles. Open shelves with cute trinkets and wicker storage baskets are allowed.
• Loft for a small bathroom can also be an extraordinary solution that emphasizes good taste residents. Allowed: tiles or decorative plaster with imitation concrete surface, open communications, metal sconces and old decorative elements. Complete the interior with one or two designer items, for example, an original laundry basket made of rough wood.

How to increase the space of a small bathroom

Golden rules for visual expansion of a small bathroom combined with a toilet:

• Use more light, white shades and glossy surfaces. Warm colors will help create a cozy, intimate atmosphere.
• Instead of shower curtains, opt for clear glass doors.
• Choose a wall-mounted toilet and sink - they will create a floating effect and free up space for additional baskets and drawers.
• Avoid the abundance of accessories; if possible, hide all the cups and coasters in a closet or pencil case.

In a small bathroom, you will have to think through the location of the elements even before the renovation begins, in order to install all communications and wiring. Be sure to review safety requirements (such as how far away from the sink you can place outlets) before planning outlets and switches.

All bathroom fixtures must be protected from moisture. Do not neglect high-quality ventilation, because only reducing humidity will protect you from fungus and mold.

In general, you can create a beautiful design for a combined bathroom yourself, especially if you have examples and photos of finished interiors. Good luck with your renovation!

Any small bathroom requires proper organization space, especially when it comes to a combined bathroom. It performs several functions at once, and small area You need to place a lot of plumbing items and furniture. There are several techniques and secrets that will be useful to owners of small combined bathrooms.

Non-standard plumbing

The first thing that will save usable area in a small bathroom - plumbing non-standard forms and sizes. The ideal option is when you can use all the corners in the room. For example, put a toilet in one, install a sink in another, and place furniture and a shower stall or a small hip bath in the other corners. Fortunately, today plumbing manufacturers offer narrow sinks, corner toilets, sinks and bathtubs.

Glass partition and white walls

Even before renovation, you should think about the color scheme of the room. For small space White, blue and light gray are ideal. It is better to decorate the walls in a small combined bathroom with glossy tiles, which reflect light and affect the visual expansion of the space.

Another trick is a glass partition separating the wet area. It does not visually eat up the area, prevents the spread of water to the rest of the bathroom area and zones the space.

Without shower

The shower stall, which is most often used in a combined bathroom, takes up a lot of precious space. This is why many people refuse it. Instead of a cabin, you can install a special tray and make a floor with a slight slope and simply pave it with tiles. This not only saves space, but also creates a more holistic interior picture. The main thing is to seal the floor and walls in the shower area well.

Spacious shower instead of a bath

You can sacrifice a bathroom and free space for a spacious shower. This option is ideal for large people or for lovers who like to shower as a couple. In this case, a glass partition will be useful. To visually make a room larger, it is recommended to use a large mirror.

Behind the curtain

A traditional alternative to a glass partition is a regular curtain. This element zones the room and prevents splashes from getting on furniture and towels. It is relevant in very small bathrooms, where it is impossible to install a glass partition. It’s better to choose a curtain neutral color, so as not to overload the already small space.

Storage Niches

At the design stage, it’s a good idea to think through niches for storing things and various small items. Practice shows that they can be done in any typical bathroom. This can be an open niche where it is convenient to put towels or shampoos, or a closed vertical drawer that can be pulled out using wheels. You can hide anything there - all things will be securely hidden from moisture.

Shelves above the door

In a small bathroom you need to use any available space. This includes the place above front door. It can also be used wisely, for example, to build convenient shelf. You can store household chemicals and items that are not often used on it. The main thing is not to overload the shelf.

19. You can hide a lot of items here

Mirror cabinet

The mirror is integral element bathroom interior. Today, this decorative item is often combined with wall cabinets. The result is a convenient and spacious cabinet for storing small items or a first aid kit. This type of furniture is an excellent option for a small bathroom.

A small bathroom can be enlarged with the help of finishing materials. We did it.

Regardless of what reasons prompted you to combine a bathroom with a toilet or whether you received such a utilitarian room in finished form– before moving on to direct repairs, it is necessary to resolve a number of issues. Depending on the size of the combined space, you will need to decide on a minimum set of plumbing fixtures, storage systems and accessories for the bathroom. Considering that in most standard apartments dating back to the last century, the bathroom is a modest-sized room, without design techniques the rational distribution of interior items and the visual expansion of space is indispensable. We hope that the photos of bathrooms combined with toilets that we have collected will help you decide on the layout of a utilitarian room, the choice of a color palette and ways to visually increase the space.

Features of the layout of a combined utilitarian room

When connecting two small rooms (bathroom and toilet), you always get a larger space, which has a number of advantages:

• by increasing the area, you can create a more ergonomic, comfortable and practical environment;
• you can use standard rather than small-sized models of plumbing fixtures (household appliances, if necessary);
• Considering that the wall separating the two rooms is removed, repair costs are reduced on finishing this surface (savings can also be seen by installing only one door at the entrance to the combined room);
• cleaning in one room will also be easier and faster ( less costs for cleaning products);
• in an enlarged space, you can increase the level of aesthetics - “hide” all engineering systems, arrange plumbing according to ergonomic standards, add a washing machine, if necessary, arrange storage systems with high level convenience, use a double sink to save time getting ready in the morning.

Planning the location of plumbing and storage systems ( household appliances), it is necessary to take into account some rules, the observance of which will guarantee the comfort of their use:

• the distance in front of the toilet should not be less than 50cm, and on each side of its central axis approximately 40cm;
• the free space in front of the shower stall, bathtub and sink should not be less than 60cm for ease of use;
• the sink is usually located at a height of 80-85 cm in relation to floor covering, its width is regulated in the range from 50 to 65 cm, but for small rooms it is possible to use compact models with a width of about 40-45 cm and corner variations of the sink;
• to make it convenient to wash and carry out other sanitary and hygienic procedures in front of the sink, the distance from it to the wall should be at least 20 cm;
• a heated towel rail or hangers must be placed above the bathtub at a distance of at least 50 cm;
• if your bathroom has a double washbasin (two sinks), then the distance between them should be at least 25cm (then, to save time, you can have morning or evening exercise for two household members at the same time);
• The distance between double sink faucets varies from 80 to 90-100cm.

You can draw up a plan for a combined utilitarian space in a special program - planner ( free versions enough on the Internet) or just draw on a piece of paper using a scale. IN standard apartments With small bathrooms, it is especially important not only to choose an effective layout, but also to maintain the correct scale, because you will have to cut out literally every centimeter of space.

If in a private house with two or three floors it is planned to organize a bathroom on each level, then it is more advisable to place utilitarian spaces one above the other. From a safety point of view, organizing a room for water procedures above the living space is not advisable.

If the bathroom has an area of ​​less than 3.5 square meters. m, then it will hardly be possible to arrange the bathtub, toilet and sink to meet ergonomic requirements. The optimal solution for small rooms there will be installation of a shower cabin or zoning of a sector for water procedures using glass partition. In this case, it is important that the surface be transparent - this way the partition will “dissolve” in space and will not visually cut it into parts.

Depending on the shape of the room, you can build a bath along one of the small walls (usually opposite the door). In this case, you may have to sacrifice some comfort and install a smaller bathtub than you would like. But the ergonomic arrangement of the rest of the interior is worth it.

Current bathroom design trends

Majority current ideas in the design of a bathroom combined with a toilet are associated with saving usable space, visually increasing the volume of the room and creating the maximum comfortable interior on the available space. The main trend of modern style is the privilege of personal comfort. Therefore, all modern trends must be passed through the prism of one’s own sense of practicality, beauty and functionality of certain design ideas.

Usage wall hung toilets and shells are no longer a novelty Russian owner apartment or private house. The Russians managed to appreciate the aesthetics, functionality and rationalism of console plumbing. You can hide all communication systems behind the installation, leaving only buttons and plumbing accessories outside. Hanging sanitary fixtures not only help save precious bathroom space, but also simplify the cleaning process, and add a touch of modernity to the interior.

Industrial motifs are trending. The design of bathrooms was no exception. Create a simulation concrete wall or brickwork will not be difficult using moisture-resistant materials that do not react to temperature changes. At the same time, it is not necessary to design the entire bathroom interior in an industrial manner - the integration of industrial and loft motifs is possible in modern style and other stylistic trends.

The introduction of natural motifs into modern design projects is no less popular. It could be natural materials(or their absolutely identical analogues) as part of the finishing or execution of furniture, decorative items, and natural shades in the color palette of the entire image of the room. Modern finishing materials and raw materials for the manufacture of storage systems are not afraid of high humidity, thanks to various impregnations and protective varnishes. Still, it is not recommended to use wood in areas with the most high humidity– aprons over the bathtub and sink.

In addition to wood and its analogues, the use of natural or artificial stone. Mainly in modern design projects You can find the use of artificial analogues of stone for finishing and making countertops. Outwardly, such a material cannot be distinguished from natural material, but it is easier to install and operate (the tiles are lightweight and do not need to be polished, like, for example, marble).

Modern style tends to use Scandinavian motifs in the design of premises for a wide variety of purposes. Bathrooms are no exception. A feature of the use of Scandinavian style when creating an interior is the active use white for finishing, integration of functional and decorative objects made of wood, contrasting dark emphasizing the geometry of the room or highlighting certain sectors of life. Even in the bathroom it is possible to use living plants as a decorative element.

Another trend of the new season is the use of large-sized wall tiles. If not so long ago, most designers recommended using special formulas for calculating optimal size tiles, based on the parameters of the room, these days there are no clear recipes. Large tiles are much easier and faster to install (but there are also more leftovers, especially if the room has an irregular shape, various niches and protrusions).

Despite the often very modest area of ​​the bathroom, this room cannot be limited to only one pendant lamp or built-in lighting around the perimeter of the ceiling. The mirror above the sink needs local lighting - in this case it is possible various options lighting fixtures, strip or built-in lighting. If in a utilitarian room, in addition to the bathtub, a hydrobox is installed, then this functional segment also needs to be illuminated - built-in lighting for a cabin with a roof or ceiling lights for the open modification model.

In addition to the light palette and use the whole system backlights various surfaces, mirrors help to visually enlarge the space. It could be big mirror panels above the sinks, the doors of shallow wall cabinets or the design of an apron above the sink. Even small ones mirror tiles are able to bring originality to the interior of the bathroom and “push” its boundaries.

Color palette for a combined room

Light bathroom design will never go out of style. And not only because small-sized utilitarian premises will not go away, and their parameters will need to be expanded, at least visually. Light palette helps create a light, fresh and clean image of the room - ideal associations of space for water and sanitary procedures. But even in a room with a very modest area you cannot do without accents. Use bright or dark colors for the design of storage systems, accessories, textiles for bath procedures. This approach will not hurt to visually enlarge the boundaries of the room and is so necessary for our eyes color accent will create.

Gray color has been on trend for several seasons in a row. The versatility of all shades of gray allows you to create practical and at the same time noble images of rooms. Snow-white sanitary ware looks great against a gray background; the shine of the chrome surfaces of bathroom accessories effectively complements the image. To prevent the interior of a utilitarian space from being too “cool” and harsh,” experts recommend the integration of objects made of wood or its imitation. Even a small storage system or open shelves made of wood with a warm palette will transform the created image and raise the color temperature of the interior.

Contrasting combinations are always in fashion. Even small spaces can be decorated with a certain level of dynamism, luxury and modernity, using a combination of light and dark surfaces. If in a small bathroom dark elements only emphasize certain interior items, outline the geometry of the room or highlight zones, then in spacious rooms dark, deep colors can also be used as finishing (full or combined).

Nothing creates favorable associations in the design of a bathroom like a combination of snow-white surfaces with options for shades of blue and light blue. Water treatments, cool color palette, clean and light image of the room - all this sets the mood not only for cleansing the body, but also for the emotional state, relaxation and tranquility.

The beige palette is always relevant. If you are put off by the snow-white image of the bathroom, if the use of blue shades, leading to the creation of a cool color temperature environment is not your priority, then beige colors are ideal. Pastel colors or deep chocolate color– almost all shades of brown bring warmth to the atmosphere of the room. If you add storage systems made of wood (or its analogues) to this finish, you will be provided with a cozy and relaxing atmosphere in the room.

Bright accent surfaces are always in trend. Even in small bathrooms you can find the opportunity to use bright colors for local finishing. This could be the wall above the bathtub or the space around the sink, shower area or wall with a doorway. Against the background of a neutral, light finish, not even the most bright shades become an accent, highlight the whiteness of the plumbing fixtures and become an excellent background for various accessories.

Color can be used to visually enhance the parameters of a bathroom. But we are not talking about a snow-white finish on all surfaces, erasing the boundaries of space. Using vertical bright stripes(decorative tiles or mosaics) can visually increase the height of the room. A similar effect can be achieved by placing the so-called border above the middle height of the room, approximately at eye level.

Bathroom combined with toilet - design features

Many of us live in houses where the bathroom is separate, but there is nothing more good to say about it. Here in the toilet you rest your knees against the door, and in the bathroom you have to choose between the sink and washing machine.

The only rational solution in this case is to combine the toilet and bathtub into a combined bathroom, when two tiny rooms turn into one larger one. True, many believe that even a combination will not allow increasing the free space in the bathroom and placing all the necessary objects and things in it.

We want to prove the opposite using several ways to design a combined bathroom. They generally require not only imagination, but also financial capabilities, but the result is definitely worth it. We offer some design ideas for a combined bathroom in your apartment.

Design of a combined bathroom

The main way to increase space in a small combined bathroom is to replace the bathtub with a shower. There are many different options in shower enclosure configurations, sizes and designs.

So, for example, you can buy a regular cabin with a tray, or you can make the tray yourself, laying it with the same tiles as the walls - this will make the bathroom visually more spacious. You can also choose the depth of the tray: some people like shallow trays, while others like deep ones. I would just like to note that shower cabins with deep trays are more practical, as they can also act as a small bathtub.

Tiles in a combined bathroom

The bathroom is the place where a person begins a new day and ends the outgoing one.

Therefore, it is especially important here to create a beautiful, harmonious interior, where you can relax in the evening and get ready for an active day in the morning.

For these purposes, it is important to choose the right finishing materials, in particular tiles. For example, the fap meltin collection seems to have been created to bring harmony into the room. Soft, pastel colors, interesting, unusual texture, plus excellent quality - these are the three components of the reason for the enormous popularity of this product.

In terms of color and size, it is better to choose the option that will allow you to create successful combinations with other types of finishes and accessories. Today, among the huge variety of ceramic tiles, you can find quite interesting drawing, color scheme. Also, do not ignore the large diverse collections of tiles. From the presented options of one type, you can put together a wonderful original combination.

You can also use mosaics and stained glass as decoration. These inserts will give the interior a special sophistication, freshness, and liveliness. And they will help you achieve exactly that uniqueness and originality that you want to see and feel in your own bathroom.

The interior of the bathroom should not stand out from general style the entire house or apartment, but it is better not to do it in this room bright accents, emphasize details. It is very important to correctly measure the size of the bathroom and interior items. That is, in a small bathroom there is no need to install a large washbasin, and, on the contrary, for a room of impressive size it is better to select more massive furniture and plumbing fixtures so that the room does not seem empty and uninhabited.

Shower cabins

When designing a combined bathroom with shower, you should take into account that there are cabins various types: with doors that open into the cabin, and with sliding compartment or accordion doors. Here it all depends on the preferences and build of the owners, since ordinary doors may be inconvenient for large people. Creating rooms with a shower cabin and a washing machine Please note that the transparent walls of the cabins do not “cut” or delimit the space, but matte options more practical in everyday life.

Very stylish and modern version The design of a combined bathroom with a shower stall is to create an open shower area without trays, and sometimes without partitions - the so-called wet room. To do this, it is necessary that the floor level in the shower area is lower than in the rest of the room.

For those who cannot refuse a bath even in a small room, we recommend that you turn your attention to smaller bathtubs or irregular shape, which will seem to repeat the outlines of the room itself and surrounding objects.

Sink and toilet ideas

It's not just the bathtub that can have a non-standard shape - today corner sinks and toilets are very common, which are especially suitable for irregularly shaped rooms. There are also sinks of completely unusual configurations, which seem to form a single whole with the bathroom, saving space.

One of the basic rules for visually increasing space is the following: the larger the visible floor area, the more spacious the room appears. Therefore, we advise owners of small bathrooms to pay attention to cantilever toilets and sinks, which are attached to the wall at a certain height from the floor, so they look more elegant and seem to “float” in the air.

By the way, even in a combined bathroom, with the appropriate layout, you can symbolically separate the toilet from other objects. This can be done with the help of a decorative partition or with the help of more useful objects: a light and high rack or a heated towel rail.

Sink in the bathroom

Separately, it should be said about the sink area, which must be used. Firstly, you can surround it with a tabletop, and hang a cabinet with a mirror above it. It is also worth using the space under it by placing a cabinet there. It is worth remembering that the bathroom will look visually more spacious with light open structures under the sink.

Washing machine in the bathroom

It is much more convenient and logical when the washing machine is in the bathroom, and not in the kitchen or in the hallway. However, in a small bathroom, and even more so in a combined bathroom, you need to put a lot of effort into placing the washing machine.

It will be easiest if you have an option with a shower. Here you can put washing machine in any free corner, combine it with the sink under a single countertop, closing it with a door if necessary, or place it near the shower in the resulting niche. By the way, it's never too late to pay attention to models with vertical loading or on shallow washing machines.

But those who have to choose between a sink and a washing machine will clearly like the option of placing the “washing machine” directly under the washbasin.

Shelves and cabinets in the bathroom

Not a single bathroom can be completely freed from a variety of necessary things: towels, cosmetics, household chemicals etc. And to place all these items in a small bathroom, you need to think carefully, although different ways, of course there is.
