Competent bathroom layout: how to increase the useful area?

For the lucky owners of a spacious bathroom, which can equally well accommodate a shower, a bath or a jacuzzi, there are no problems with the organization of the interior of this room. But if instead of a full room for taking water procedures you have a combined bathroom - the layout of the bathroom turns into a real headache. Residents of small "Khrushchev" or modern buildings of economy class have to carefully design the interior of this room in order to save every meter of free space.

You can create a design project for the bathroom, separating it from the combined toilet with a partition. In this case, you get a tiny bathroom and at least a small bathroom, from the walls of which stick stub communications. Such a layout of the bathroom does not imply the construction of additional wall-partitions, so it is unlikely to hide the risers, it is better to disguise them with the appropriate plumbing or furniture.

The combined bathroom can also be divided not by a static partition, but by a mobile screen - the capital division of spaces in this case does not work out, but for visual zoning this option fits as well as possible. You can divide the space of the room and using furniture: high narrow cabinets or shelving, which will store hygiene items or other household chemicals. There is another option: if a complete redevelopment of the bathroom for you for some reason is impossible, it is recommended to install a thin wall of gypsum board as a separator. On the one hand, install a toilet in the toilet with the installation, and on the other hand - a hanging sink. This option will not only give your room an originality, but also will save a lot of space.

If your room is too small and the bath takes up most of the space in it - you can use one more design solution, instead of having a multi-liter overall capacity, a compact shower cubicle. Such a layout of the bathroom will help to free up enough free space where you can put a washing machine.

A huge role in the organization of space is played by properly selected furniture. A competent layout of the bathroom implies the presence of all kinds of hanging lockers, racks and shelves, which are very convenient for storing small things. In order to save space, it is better to use corner models or arrange such lockers in the niches of communications. Very interesting is the cabinet model above the washbasin, the door of which is a mirror.

Another important factor in the visual increase of the bathroom is lighting. Experienced designers recommend not to abuse bright, "surgical" lamps, it is better to use the softest, matte-white top light. If desired, you can install small lamps around the mirror - they are useful for daily hygiene procedures. Also, be careful when choosing a finishing material - it is better to choose a matt tile of light colors.
