Interior design of a small bathroom without a toilet
The bathroom is not just a place to maintain hygiene, but also a corner of privacy. The space where we can remove the burden of fatigue from our body will be invigorated, filled with vital energy. For women, this room serves as a boudoir. Therefore, the design of a small bathroom without a toilet is of great importance.
Those who have already faced with the repair work of the bathroom know that the cost of these 3-5 meters is comparable to the cost of a living room of 15-20 square meters. Moreover, if in the living room you can later rearrange and move everything, then for the bathroom it is absolutely impossible. Therefore, the most important thing is to consider thoroughly all the nuances.
The first thing we have to do is dismantle the tiles (if any) or paint from the walls, plumbing. It would seem that everything is simple - do not build to break, but there are some nuances.It is important to correctly approach the dismantling of the bath so as not to damage the branch pipes (if you are not going to change them). In 99% of cases, when the bathroom is overhauled, the pipeline parts are replaced. For convenience and aesthetics, we recommend hiding the pipes.
There are two ways to do this:
Drill the channels along the walls, putting them there.
Sew under moisture-proof drywall, on which the finish will later lie. The first option is most preferable because it saves us space. The realities of small bathrooms are such that every centimeter counts. Think in advance about the location of the bath or shower, washbasin, bidet, washing machine. After all, any plumbing is connected to the pipes, which means that it will be necessary to make bushings in the right places. Another important fact at the preparation stage will be the choice of place for mounting the heated towel rail. It can be located on any of the walls, and its functionality is determined by you personally.
The most expensive heated towel rail was a copy worth $ 2,200, which is remotely controlled and boasts both an unusual design and volumetric shapes with clear geometric proportions.
We choose finishing materials
Having dealt with the preparatory moments, we move on to creativity. Indeed, the selection of material and colors is really a creative moment. Many go through tantalum flour when choosing wall finishes and making color decisions. There are three main types of materials for decorating bathroom walls:
Tile
Pluses: convenience when leaving, durability, practicality. Cons: the high price of both the tile itself and its laying, it takes several days for laying the tile, drying the tile adhesive.
PVC panels
Pros: low price of material, ease of installation, easy to clean. Cons: mounted on a metal profile, which takes 5-20 cm from each wall.
Wallpaper for the bathroom
Pros: easy to glue without the help of a specialist, quick installation, you can update the wallpaper, thereby bringing a new mood to this room. Cons: with the wrong approach to this process (drying the walls, special glue and high-quality duplex wallpapers), it can partially or completely peel off, the service life is shorter than with the previous options.
With the right combination of two or three finishing materials, you can get a unique design of a small bathroom.
For a small room, it will be ideal to lay the tiles on the walls near the bathroom, and paste over the remaining space with wallpaper. With this combination, the main harmony of color solutions. The glossy ceiling, with integrated lights, will reflect and enlarge the room accordingly. It is not recommended to choose too dark colors, they eat up space, which visually reduces the size of the room.
We solve the main issue - shower or bath
According to all the canons of design, it’s worth dancing from the “stove”, in our case, the priority will be to choose between a bathroom or a shower. At the same time, we cannot use these two plumbing solutions because of the limited space. Let's evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this plumbing fixture for a small bath.
Advantages of the bath:
It has a cleansing and relaxing effect. In it you can relax, relax, steam, adding herbs or salt to the water.
The bath is indispensable for small children.
Low price.
Minuses:
The main disadvantage is the high water consumption. If your family likes to splash in the bathroom, but they don’t do it like in Japan (all family members wash in the same water there, and then wash their laundry in it), then the cost of utility bills will be impressive.
No curtain for the bathroom can protect you from spilled water on the floor
Advantages of a shower cabin:
No splashes or drops outside the booth.
Saves space, takes up significantly less space.
Saves water.
Saves time.You can rinse in a couple of minutes.
Minuses:
Costly
It is impossible to relax while standing in the shower, muscles remain tense.
The final decision is to make you what is better, more comfortable, and most importantly preferable for you.
Choose plumbing
When choosing a sink, it is important to immediately take into account several main nuances:
Having a shower cabin in the bathroom - we place the sink in the opposite corner, otherwise the room will be unbalanced from the point of interior design.
An important detail is the shape of the shell. If you prefer to brush your teeth at the same time as your soul mate, then it makes sense to consider an elongated narrow shell. They look very stylish and unusual.
It is also necessary to determine the mount, we offer the following options to choose from: a) sink-console, which is attached to the wall with brackets. It is good in that it looks airy, and also, in order to save space, it allows you to put a washing machine under it; b) a tulip shell. This design easily masks the water parts remaining on the surface of the wall; c) a sink on the cabinet is the most common option, because it allows you to not only easily mount the sink, but also use the nightstand to store a variety of bath products. Any of these options is equally beautiful, performs unique functions in the interior, creates the necessary balance of the room.
If the place allows you, you feel the need to install a bidet, then the following tips are for you. Bidets vary in installation method and are floor, wall, side. When installing a bidet in a confined space like a small bathroom, it is worth giving preference to wall options. They do not steal space, since they are not actually on the floor, but rather they are floating in the air. The color, as well as the material of this plumbing, should be consistent with the main attribute of the room - a bath or shower.
Bathroom Furniture
The main priorities when choosing furniture for the bathroom, in addition to the color scheme, will be compactness and capacity. Leading a bachelor lifestyle, the presence of two shelves in this room may seem overkill, but having a full-fledged family of 3-4 members, it is difficult to overestimate the presence of additional shelves, lockers.
No bathroom can exist without a mirror, with the rather modest size of our room, we can afford a mirror exclusively above the washbasin. Determine the type of mirror - a mirror in the frame, without a frame or built-in with hanging cabinets. If the mirror is autonomous, do not forget that its dimensions should not be larger than the sink, these two elements must be consistent.
Let there be light and beauty
Lonely wall-mounted lampshades-tablets were lost on the background of a variety of sconces, built-in lamps, fluorescent lamps. Having good lighting in the bathroom, which will emphasize your design idea, will accentuate the interior - this is not a luxury, but a necessity. A bathroom is a place where we meet with ourselves - without clothes, cosmetics or clothes. This is the only place where we can admit our shortcomings, but immediately correct them in order to shine further.
We advise you to make several autonomous lighting points in order to be able to add or reduce the amount of lighting if necessary. For example, when shaving or applying makeup. Accessories are those elements that allow you to show your personality. If when choosing plumbing we are limited by space, finances, colors, then when choosing accessories for us there are no boundaries.
When choosing and using accessories there are no boundaries, the main thing is not to get carried away and not to overload the room. We cancel the rules - go for it, prove yourself! Remember - design does not tolerate chaos.The interior of a small bathroom must be clearly balanced, all parts must be combined - this is the main criterion that you must strive for!
