How to make a bath inside: ideas. What can be the interior of the baths

To have a modern spacious bath is the dream of many Russians. Nobody thinks of suburban life without spiritual gatherings with friends, a feeling of complete tranquility and inner harmony that give the wooden walls, steam and oak broom. And, despite the fact that almost all cottages are equipped with shower cabins for a long time, it is the bathhouse that occupies a central place in relaxing, health and hygiene procedures. What should be the modern interior of the bath, and has something changed in design trends over the past decades? We learn about this right now.

Three main zones of classical design

So long ago, in the time of our grandfathers and grandmothers in the traditional bathhouse there were only two rooms: a sink combined with a therma and a small dressing room. Over the years, people have raised the level of material prosperity, which allowed to put more spacious structures and completely separate the zones from each other. Moreover, the interior of the indoor bath can now include a sauna with real Finnish stones instead of a steam room. However, the classic version of the interior includes three separated from each other rooms:

• Steam room;
• A room for washing;
• Room for rest (dressing room).

Functional component

In the steam room a person cleanses his spirit and completely relaxes, in a sink it is customary to make hygienic procedures. If these two rooms are combined, not everyone can withstand the temperature, sometimes reaching 100 degrees, and at the same time it is comfortable to wash. For the best and better relaxation, these zones should be separated, as well as allocated a spacious room for a real relaxation room with a sofa, table, TV and other useful things. Therefore, if desired, the interior of the rest room bath can be designed so that it resembled a guest for relatives and friends who came to the owners for the weekend.

Additional rooms

People with unlimited financial resources can afford to build a real country complex from the bathhouse, designed for recreation. In addition to the above main and classical zones, there can be a billiard room, a play room, a font (pool), a shower room, a bathroom, a kitchen, as well as rooms for SPA procedures and massages.

The most demanded finish

Of all the variety of finishing materials, only wood remains the most popular. It is impossible to imagine the interior of a bath in any other performance. None of the materials can not so "breathe" and so unite man with nature. To ensure that the interior does not rot, a special water-repellent compound is applied to the surface of the walls, ceiling, floor and oak benches, and regularly dried after use.

Interior Style

Modern interior decoration of the bath can be done in any style, but people are increasingly abandoning pomposity and returning to the origins. Utensils under the antiquity, massive couches and oak benches give the style a laconic, ascetic, but at the same time completeness. Traditionally, homespun carpets and rugs adorn the floor in the dressing room, hang curtains with folk motifs on the windows, the doors are decorated with carved platbands. All this atmosphere once again emphasizes the purpose of the room - a return to its roots, to its roots, the purification of the soul and the strengthening of the spirit.

The only difference, which has undergone the interior of the Russian bath in comparison with its Old Russian counterparts, is the abundance of light. Now in the dressing room large light windows are permissible, and the modern electric lighting system turns the zones given under the steam room and the sink into the most desirable place for relaxing procedures.

Additional decor elements

When it comes to baths, many people are opposed to pretentiousness and deliberate luxury, but they are not advocates of outspoken asceticism. How to decorate the interior with the help of additional elements that are not knocked out of the general concept? In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to forging and forged elements, carving on wood, and finishing with a stone in the steam. About embroidery, which you can decorate bed linens and curtains in the recreation room, we already said. Also, a good stylistic solution is the decorative brooms and fragrant grasses hanging along the walls. In other words, the interior of a wooden bath is created with the help of trifles and accessories.

How to choose materials for interior decoration?

To understand the choice of materials for interior decoration, you need to know their characteristics. The requirements to which the skin must meet are quite numerous, but the main among them are ecological compatibility, resistance to moisture and high temperature drops, hygiene, practicality and durability. And the final factor in choosing wood is aesthetics and impeccable appearance. However, it must be remembered that an elaborate, eye-irritating finish is unacceptable for a place where people are used to resting with the soul and body. For each room, a certain grade of finishing wood is suitable, because all zones have their own characteristics. Let's consider this question in more detail.

Finishing of the bath: steam room. The most suitable materials

In a zone with high temperatures, only deciduous tree species are suitable for finishing. When the body touches the heated surface, burns are unacceptable (otherwise litter will have to be used), namely deciduous wood is the least able to be heated. Such breeds do not emit tar, and this prevents the development of fungal elements. Drying room with the type of finishing presented will be with normal ventilation.

If you take into account the strength and durability of the material, you should stop the choice of aspen, but this breed is devoid of aesthetic appeal.

If you want a light, attractive interior of a bath, stop choosing on an alder. Also this breed is easily processed, pleasant to the touch, resistant to steam, condensation, temperature changes.

In order to eventually darken the room, stop on the linden tree. This material does not heat, it is aesthetic and has an unobtrusive aroma. Many developers buy a lime for interior decoration because of its economy.

Recently, exotic African tree species are gaining popularity, and the first on this list is the abash. As you know, tropical trees grow with high humidity and incredible heat, which is why benches made of exotic species of wood are practically not heated. In the interior of the sauna (saunas with dry air and high temperature) this option of finishing is considered preferable.

The floor in the steam room is better to finish with tiles, and from above to put a wooden lattice. If you want to withstand a completely wooden interior, then as a floor covering will suit larch.

Some tips and tricks

• If you use wood with different colors for interior decoration, you can create an original, interesting and contrast room. Interior design baths, where sun beds and benches are made in dark colors, and the walls - in lighter, favorably differ from the usual for our representation of the premises.
• For contrast and variety in the steam room use unfinished whole trunks as a decoration of the walls, placing them perpendicular to the floor.
• Steam room should not be large. So, it warms up faster and helps to fully relax.
• In the steam zone, it is unacceptable to apply varnishes and paints to the wood, because during the heating of air chemical particles produce toxins.
• Do not use material with knots. When heated over time, these inclusions peal and drop out.
• Screws at installation work are deepened as much as possible to prevent contact with the body during the adoption of procedures.
• Droplets of condensate drain faster on vertically stuffed lining.
• Plinth is selected from waterproof material.
• The floor, executed in the form of a wooden flooring, has the ability to recline above the horizontal surface.

Interior baths: tiles

Due to high humidity, some sections of the bath are best decorated with tiles. So, if desired, the bottom part of the sink can be made of this material. In this case, problems with decay of boards will be solved, the premises will serve a longer period. If you do not want to depart from the traditions and maintain a stylistic direction "under the old days", you can pick up a tile of wood shades.

Decoration of the dressing room

But in this part of the room is the place of coniferous species. How can we do without a persistent resinous flavor that causes real bliss in completing all the procedures? Phytoncids, which are especially prominent for pines, strengthen immunity, have a beneficial effect on the psyche, relax and improve well-being.

That is why pine is the most popular decoration material for bathing areas. In addition to a beneficial effect on health, the material is aesthetic, affordable, durable and durable. Of imported materials, the Canadian pine, which has a pleasant pink tint, is highly valued.

Spruce resin has a pronounced stable aroma, as well as a light tint, is durable.

Fir also has a light tint, but almost no resin.

Of hardwood for finishing the dressing room, the most suitable material is birch.
