Arrangement of furniture in the bathroom. Rational use of space

Space is limited, but several objects need to be connected to the water supply and sewage system at once. And don't forget about ergonomics and a basic sense of comfort. We study the permissible distances between plumbing fixtures, choose a place for a bath, a washbasin and a toilet with a bidet.

Where to begin?

We draw up a plan. To do this, you need to know the exact dimensions of the bathroom, the location of the sewer riser and the water supply. We draw a plan of the room in compliance with the scale and sketch out the placement of plumbing in the bathroom with a pencil. Even more convenient: use a scheduling program from the Internet (for example, on the IKEA website). Let us dwell in more detail on the main elements of this plan.

Washbasin A582 10/20 XX from Villeroy & Boch.	Washbasin with mirror In the spotlight. Ideally, this is the first object that should come into the field of view of someone entering the bathroom. (From the point of view of the feeling of comfort in the bathroom, it is considered a mistake if the main focus is on the toilet or bath). The washbasin is mounted at a height of 80 cm from the floor. There should be at least 70 cm of free space in front of it.
Sink BN46A / BN50A from Flaminia.	Two sinks or one Depends on personal habits. If you are calm about sharing your morning or evening dressing and are used to brushing your teeth together with someone from the household, then put two sinks. It is best to combine them with one tabletop. Naturally, there should be enough space in the bathroom. The distance between the sinks along the faucet axis is at least 90 cm, and between the edges of the sinks - 25 cm.
Toilet bowl K-3393 from Kohler.	Toilet bowl Tied to a riser. Try to place them as close to the sewer riser as possible. It is not recommended to put the toilet at a great distance from the riser: it is difficult to maintain the required angle of inclination of the drain pipe of two degrees (you will have to raise the floor level or hide the pipe in the wall). The more bends in it, the more likely the risk of blockage. The distance from the front edge of the toilet to the opposite wall should be at least 60 cm, on the sides - at least 25 cm on each side. And remember: from the point of view of psychological comfort, the toilet should not be the first thing that catches your eye when entering the bathroom.
Bidet 750 CER750B from Agape.	Bidet Placed next to the toilet. The placement conditions are the same: 60 cm from the front edge to the opposite wall and 25 cm on the sides. It is not always possible to place a bidet in small bathrooms in typical apartments. In this case, you can buy a toilet with bidet functions - there are now a lot of such models both in the budget and in the top segments (available from Duravit, Ideal Standard, VitrA).
Shower cabin Europa 10 from Samo.	Bath or cabin Depends on the area. Plumbing in a combined bathroom allows options. If the length of the short wall in the bathroom is from 160 cm, it is better to place the bath along it. An elongated rectangular bathroom will appear more proportional with this placement. If the short wall is less than one and a half meters, then think about whether to replace the bathtub with a cabin or study the range of corner models. Because putting a bathtub along a long wall in a narrow room is not the best option. As with the washbasin, there should be at least 70 cm of free space in front of the bathroom.
Diva bathtub from Burgbad.	Freestanding bathtub Not an option for a typical apartment. A bathroom for a freestanding bath must be at least 9 sq. meters. Only in this case it makes sense to think about such a complex (from the point of view of installation and connection) construction. Serious requirements are imposed on floors and ceilings: they must be more durable than when installing a conventional wall-mounted bath: a free-standing installation together with the entire system usually weighs much more.
Sink 1116601101 from Ido.	Washer Not far from the plum. The drain hose of the machine cannot be longer than one and a half meters, and the connection to the drain pipe must be at a height of 70-90 cm from the floor. However, there must be enough free space in front of a front-loading machine to open the hatch. Options for a lack of space are mini-machines under the sink and top-loading machines. If the placement of plumbing in the bathroom is such that there is no room for a typewriter, try to fit it into the kitchen.
Leon credenza wardrobe from Cantori.	Cabinets The final stage. Storage furniture is planned when the placement of plumbing in the bathroom has already been thought out. so that the cabinets do not violate the integrity of the internal volume of the bathroom, it is better to place them on the wall where the door is located. Then the incoming person will see them last. In small bathrooms, it is better to use hinged cabinets (so that they do not take up space on the floor) and with mirrored doors (for the effect of expanding the space). For the storage of powders and detergents, it can be equipped in a sanitary cabinet. If there are ledges in the walls, consider. whether to turn them into niches for storage.

The arrangement of furniture in the bathroom is, of course, entirely dependent on your personal tastes and convenience. But still, if you are interested in maintaining ergonomics, as well as in ensuring that the furniture does not lose its attractive appearance for a long time, and any of its items can be used with maximum comfort, be sure to check out the existing recommendations for the correct equipping of bathroom furniture.

The right approach to arranging the bathroom space

The correct arrangement of furniture in the bathroom requires a preliminary preparatory process: before taking on the direct placement of the purchased set, you must carefully consider where this or that piece of furniture will be more convenient to install in terms of both space saving and ease of use.

Professional designers advise you to sketch a rough drawing of the arrangement of furniture in the bathroom - such a visual layout will help you better understand how well this or that option will look in finished form. The advantages of this approach are that you can sketch out several drawings and choose the best one for your bathroom space.

In the question of how to arrange furniture in the bathroom, not only the aesthetic moment is important, you should also take into account the fact that all its items should be convenient to use, and they should not interfere with the cleaning process - after all, order in the bathroom is necessary.

We save space

When choosing options for arranging furniture in the bathroom, it is worth thinking about something else - do you really need to complete the space of such a small room with massive wardrobes, shower cabins, cabinets for natural stone? A room cluttered to the limit will not look attractive, no matter how expensive furniture is installed in it. Therefore, think carefully about which pieces of furniture you really need and which ones you can refuse.

Placing furniture in a small bathroom will become much easier if initially, when choosing a set, you give preference to built-in options for cabinets or cabinets, as well as their corner varieties. Do not be afraid to experiment and occupy those places in the room that are usually forgotten about under the shelves for storage - the wall surface above the washbasin, entrance doors, and so on.

Do not overlook the empty space under the bathroom - you can build in a special screen with a large number of spacious drawers.

Secrets of the correct arrangement of furniture in the bathroom

The bathroom is a room with special characteristics - it is always humid, and the air temperature fluctuates sharply from low to high. That is why furniture for this type of room is selected taking into account the good moisture resistance and heat resistance of the base material. In addition, in order for the furnishings to retain their original attractive appearance for a long time, it is important to be able to arrange it correctly. What do professionals advise in this matter?

• Ideally, all pieces of furniture in which things are supposed to be stored should be located as far as possible from the "wet areas" - washbasin, shower, bath. In bathrooms with a large area, it will not be difficult to fulfill this recommendation - you can initially divide the room into a “furniture” zone and a sanitary and hygienic zone. But how to place furniture in a small bathroom?
• Corner cabinets and cabinets can help out, which can be fixed in the corner opposite from the bath and shower. Such furniture will take up a little space, and a correctly chosen arrangement will help to protect both itself and the things placed in it from splashes and water ingress. A little trick - be sure to give preference to such furniture models in which there is no continuous adjoining of the bottom to the floor - cabinets and bedside tables with small legs. Such a design helps to protect furniture from damage, and also greatly facilitates the cleaning procedure in the room - you do not have to move objects from place to place every time.
• No furniture attributes are fixed close to either the washbasin, the wall surface, or the bathroom - a special air gap is always left. It is needed so that the base material of the cabinet or cabinet does not get wet during operation and retains its original attractive qualities for a long time. In this matter, one should not rely on a moisture-protective coating - even the most resistant type of finishing process loses a number of useful properties over time and the furniture becomes vulnerable to moisture.
• Hangers for towels and bathrobes should be attached in places that are accessible, but still sufficiently protected from moisture, otherwise the fabric will get wet during the shower or bath. Most often, hangers for clothes and towels are attached to the front doors.

An important point: Correctly positioned furniture allows not only to save space and decorate the interior - it is safe to use. Furniture items should not interfere with free movement in the room and, of course, their location should not cause domestic injuries. You need to hang shelves and cabinets at a sufficient height so as not to bang your head against them, and sharp corners should always be turned to the wall. Do not forget to carefully check the strength of all fasteners, especially for wall shelves and cabinets.

Conclusion

The correct approach to furniture arrangement, even in a small bathroom, allows you to create not only a cozy interior and an atmosphere of comfort - you can easily divide your bathroom into convenient zones, separating the bath and shower area from the restroom with the help of a small bedside table.

Do not forget to use all the planning features in the arrangement of furniture - a niche in the wall, for example, will be a great place for a wardrobe, washing machine, washbasin. Plumbing, original in design, will help to free up more meters for furniture - corner baths, hanging toilet bowls.

Bathroom renovation is always associated with high financial costs, which seriously undermine the family's budget. The high cost of finishing is explained by the complex microclimate of this room, which requires the use of special expensive materials, as well as the high complexity of installation work for plumbing equipment.

When money and effort comes to an end, wanting to save money, many homeowners wonder how to install a bathtub with their own hands. In this article, we will tell you how to properly prepare the bathroom for installation and independently install the washing container.

Requirements for the premises

Before you start installing plumbing equipment, you need to carefully prepare the room for work. The correct installation and operation of the bath depends on the quality of the preparatory work. By the time the new wash tank is delivered, the bathroom should be in the following state:

Note! In the process of renovating a bathroom, it is important to observe the correct sequence of technological operations. Installation is carried out exclusively on a leveled and tiled floor. But the decoration of the walls should be done only after connecting the plumbing equipment, so that a minimum gap remains between the wall and the washing container.

Installation methods

Do-it-yourself bath installation is a responsible process of setting it to the required height and connecting the washing container to the sewer and plumbing system. Installation can be done in different ways, depending on the size, shape and weight of the equipment. Experienced craftsmen recommend using the following methods:

Please note that the correct installation method of the bathtub prolongs the life of the product, provides comfort and safety when using it. In addition, by performing installation, you can improve the performance of the model by reducing the noise and thermal conductivity of the walls using insulating material.

Installation sequence

The process of installing a bathtub consists of several stages: bringing the device into the room, connecting to the sewer system, fixing the legs, setting the bowl to the building level, as well as connecting to the plumbing system. The complexity of the task lies in the large weight of the washing container, therefore it is rather difficult to carry out the installation alone. Install the bath in the following order:

Important! The optimal height of the side of the bath, recommended by SNiP, is 60-65 cm, since the installation of the washing container at this level causes less injury and inconvenience. And the minimum distance from the floor to the bottom of the bowl, sufficient to connect a siphon with an overflow, is 10-15 cm.

Checking and sealing the joint

Do-it-yourself bath installation ends by checking the functioning of the system. To do this, turn on the water supply, open the taps and monitor the drain. All connections must be tight, and water must quickly enter the drain, leaving the tank on its own. If everything works, then before using the device, all that remains is to seal the joint between the bathroom and the wall. This is done as follows:

When installing steel models, you can treat the bottom or walls from the outside with polyurethane foam or paste over with vibration insulation to reduce the resonating ability, thermal conductivity of the material.

Video instruction

Having modern building materials and the latest plumbing, you can make a flawless renovation, showing imagination, skill and good taste. The larger the area of ​​the room, the easier it is to carry out your design ideas.

Area of ​​4 sq. meter can not be called roomy, but for urban buildings of the last century it is quite an acceptable size, then it was enough to install a bathtub and a washbasin to meet the needs of the owners. Today the consumer is more demanding and tries to fit a shower cabin, a washing machine, a bidet, an installation with a toilet bowl and a sink in 4 squares. The builders of the last century, when calculating the footage of the hygienic room, did not even assume the plumbing possibilities of today.

How to accommodate everything?

The modern person values ​​comfort. In a small room, in addition to the usual sink and bathtub, you need to accommodate at least a washing machine. The top of design art lies in the ability to install as many items as possible in a limited area, without disturbing the harmony of things.

You can go to drastic measures and combine a bathroom with a toilet. For those who find this option unacceptable, you should choose the right plumbing and arrange it, taking into account every centimeter of usable area. It is even more difficult to organize the space if in 4 sq. m has already combined a toilet and a bathroom.

4 m2 is a common option for bathrooms. Designers have worked out certain techniques in the design of such premises.

• At the initial stage, even before the renovation, it is necessary to measure and sketch the room. Mark the front door and utility connections. Decide what kind of plumbing is needed, mark it on the drawing. During renovation work, you may need to go deeper into the wall, make a small niche so that the bathtub can fit. Sometimes it is necessary to transfer the drainage points, create zonal partitions.

• If the room is square (2x2 m), the bath can be placed anywhere. In rectangular rooms, in order to place plumbing and furniture, it is better to define it under a smaller wall. For those who like to take a shower, it is worth considering the option with a shower cabin, it is practical and takes up less space.
• Sometimes a washbasin can be neglected; a bathtub will perform its function. If you need a sink, and it does not fit well, you can slide it slightly over the bathtub, or replace it with miniature counterparts.

• The toilet bowl suspended from the installation will help to save meters.
• Corner plumbing works well for some interiors. This technique also applies to furniture. You can hang a bookcase or shelves above the bathroom in the corner.

• The classic technique of placing a washing machine or cabinet is under the washbasin.
• In small bathrooms, it is necessary to make the most of the vertical space above the bathtub, cabinet, sink, washing machine. They are filled with hanging furniture, shelves, mirrors, towel hooks.

• If there is a niche, it can be used for open shelves or a closed cabinet. The structure, made in the color of the overall finish, will merge with the walls and will not reduce the space. The mezzanine above the door, on the contrary, will distort the geometry of the room.
• In some cases, the front door has to be moved for optimal interior planning.

• There are rules for the visual preservation of space. One of them: getting rid of the little things. A lot of small items practically "eat up" free meters. Cosmetics, washing powders, washcloths, detergents should be hidden in shelves and cabinets, and not occupy free space on the washing machine, bathtub and sink rims.
• The thoughtful use of reflective surfaces can save the day. A full-wall mirror above the bathroom will visually double the room, especially if it is opposite the door.

Adjusting to the shape

Bathrooms with an area of ​​4 squares can vary significantly from each other. The difference noticeably affects their occupancy with plumbing fixtures and pieces of furniture. Square or rectangular rooms with a slight difference in the footage of the walls are considered successful layouts. It is more difficult to create interiors in rooms with irregular geometry. We have to look for bathtubs of a peculiar configuration, use corner plumbing and custom-made furniture. The narrow long rooms with the front door on the shortened side can be considered catastrophic. The bathtub stands in front of the door, and it is difficult to put anything under two long walls without compromising the passage.

The front door significantly affects the rational arrangement of the situation, in some cases it has to be moved.

In square rooms with a door offset to the side, a bath or shower stall is installed against the opposite wall or in the corner diagonally. A sink and a toilet are placed on the right and left sides of the bath. With the central location of the door, the bathtub is installed on the right or left. The rest of the plumbing can occupy the opposite part of the room.

In a rectangular room with a side door, a bath or shower room is mounted opposite the entrance, and a washing machine, a sink, a toilet bowl are placed under long walls. The central entrance makes it possible to arrange plumbing rationally on both sides. For rectangular rooms, it is always better to put the bath on the smaller side, this will make it possible to fully build the rest of the plumbing.

Choice of layout

The bathroom, which has an area of ​​4 square meters, is often combined with a toilet. In addition to the bathroom, washbasin and washing machine, a toilet must be placed. Ideally, it is best to separate these areas with a light partition. You can use an installation or a wall of a shower stall as zoning.

Sometimes, for convenience, the toilet is installed in a corner. In particularly cramped cases, this helps not to touch the walls. Having a square area of ​​the room, you can place a bath to the right of the door (it will occupy the entire wall), to the left at the entrance to install a washing machine. A toilet is mounted in the back left part of the room. A washbasin with a small cabinet and a mirror will occupy the wall opposite the door.

An example of an unsuccessful bathroom layout is a narrow rectangle with an entrance from the shortened side. A small bathtub can be placed opposite the door. To form a passage, the rest of the plumbing will have to be placed in one line. Such a setting will not add comfort to the room, but will make it look like a warehouse of things. A niche in the far left corner resolved the situation, a washbasin was installed in it, and a washing machine was placed opposite under the right wall. This layout option is not combined with a bathroom.

A bathtub occupies the left wall of the door. On the right is a washbasin with a capacious cabinet behind which there is a light plasterboard partition zoning the bathroom. There was no place for a washing machine in this layout.

The bathroom has a classic rectangle shape. The entrance divides the wall almost in half. A corner bath with a glass partition is installed on the left. A washing machine took its place on the right, and a sink and a toilet were located against the wall opposite the door. All plumbing has a conditionally combined smooth line, which improves the appearance of the room.

A room with complex geometry: two walls make an angle of 90 degrees, and the third at a large angle goes to the side. A varied selection of bathtubs in the plumbing markets allows you to choose any non-standard model. This will not only solve the problem of the peculiarities of the layout of the room, but also make it possible to purchase a bathtub with a large volume. The wall opposite the door is occupied by a sink with a spacious cabinet.

Narrow rectangular bathroom with shower. Opposite the door against a long wall is a countertop washbasin and a washing machine.

Ergonomics secrets

The main objectives of ergonomics are safety, functionality and comfort. It is better for ergonomic furniture and sanitary ware to have smooth, rounded shapes. The tiles on the floor must not slide. It is necessary that the glass of the shower stall is durable, does not give fragments when damaged.

The bathroom is so small that it is difficult to comply with all standard dimensions. For example, it is not always possible to maintain a distance of 75 cm between all pieces of furniture and plumbing (two times less parameters are allowed between the bidet and the toilet).

From bath to sink, a length of 30 cm is required. But sometimes, because of the tightness, the washbasin literally "runs over" the bathtub. In this case, you should make sure that there are no objects around which you can hit, leaning towards the water, or touch them with your elbow when brushing your teeth. Sideboards, chests of drawers, countertops should not exceed one meter in height. If the toilet is not hanging on the installation, the distance between it and the wall is 30-50 cm, and in front of the toilet - at least 50 cm.

The laws of ergonomics should correspond to the psychophysical characteristics of the owner, and literally everything should be taken into account when creating an interior: color, finishing material, lighting.

Materials (edit)

There are not so many options for using materials for finishing a bathroom; it is necessary to use waterproof structures. For these purposes, tiles, waterproofing acrylic paint, plastic panels, stone are suitable.

For the floor, tiles with a rough texture are chosen, such a surface is able to minimize slipping. The selected small drawing will dissolve the boundaries of the territory.

When working on walls, avoid large ornaments or decor images. On the contrary, mosaics are welcome. For optical expansion of the walls, a horizontal pattern should be chosen; with low ceilings, vertical stripes will help.

The room will be made more voluminous by glossy surfaces, this should be taken into account when choosing a finishing material. The reflective effect of the stretch ceiling will double the room.

Transparent partitions and zoning of the room with different types of materials will also create the illusion of spaciousness.

Color solutions

Tonality plays a big role in the visual expansion of the territory. Black color brings closer, and white - removes, visually pushes the boundaries of space. The dark walls of a small room turn it into an oppressive box from which you want to escape. The spaciousness and airiness are created precisely by light colors: blue, cream, milky, pale lilac.

Hosts with an energetic character can dilute the calm light shades of the interior with bright, flashy accents.

Room imperfections can be corrected by combining contrasts. Light walls with a dark ceiling will give volume to the room, but at the same time will land it. Dark walls with a light ceiling will stretch the space, but make it narrower.

Minimalism works well for small bathrooms. Lack of decor and trifles, focuses on the general stylization of the space, does not distract on small items. This direction is characterized by black and white colors. When composing the design of a small room, you should give preference to white, and send black as an auxiliary one. A reasonable dosage of black will accentuate the elegance, while the privilege of light will lighten the interior.

Lighting

Bright light combined with light finishing material makes the room spacious and positive. In addition to the central luminaire, several spotlights are installed. With low ceilings, you can put spotlights around the perimeter of the room and do without a chandelier.

The main thing is not to create shadows. Hanging cabinets are equipped with LED lighting, but it can also be used in the design of the ceiling. This is an economical type of lighting that resembles sunlight.

You should not forget about the humidity of the room and buy lighting devices with this feature in mind. Only with very high ceilings can you afford a hanging chandelier, in other cases it is better to mount the lamps in the ceiling. With the help of lights, you can highlight areas, for example, a shower or a bathroom.

Compact accessories

For small bathrooms, installation is the best option. A toilet and bidet can be attached to a stable metal structure on one side, and a washbasin on the other. The installation is sheathed with plasterboard and covered with tiles or other finishing material. A similar false wall separates the toilet from the bathroom. All supply lines and pipes are installed in the installation, only plumbing, floating in the air, remains in sight. This option looks impressive. In addition, it is easy to clean under mounted equipment. If a zoning partition is not needed, the installation can be wall-mounted.

Bath in 4 sq. meters, it is better to install a rectangular short wall along the entire length. A triangular bathtub plays well with a diagonal corner toilet. In rare cases, three corners are used, connecting another corner sink. Such an interior looks original and impressive.

Many people replace bathtubs with showers, this helps to save a little space. For those who like to take a bath and shower at the same time, there are shower boxes. This design is stuffed with all kinds of comfortable elements in the form of hydromassage, steam room, tropical rain, aromatherapy devices, and more.

Competent bathroom design is extremely important, because a sanitary and hygienic unit is a room that must have increased comfort. The layout of the bathroom depends on many factors such as the size and shape of the room, the number of people in the family. In addition, when creating a design for a bathroom project, one should take into account building codes and recommendations, safety standards.

The arrangement of interior elements can visually expand and reduce the space, change the proportions of the room, make the interior either comfortable and functional, or inconvenient and ineffective.

The dimensions of the sanitary and hygienic unit affect:

1. Location of plumbing, furniture and household equipment.
2. The location of the pipes of the water supply system.
3. The choice of finishing materials. If the communications are wall-mounted, then at the stage of creating a room project, you should think about the most successful way to hide them.

A wide range of modern plumbing and household equipment allows you to choose models that fit any bathroom size. In addition, today, you can order the manufacture of plumbing by individual sizes.

You can plan an interior in one room using computer and online programs. The visualization program MagiCAD will help to design a bathroom taking into account SNiP and GOSTs. The Triton planner will be able to create a three-dimensional model and develop a design for a combined bathroom online.

A competent drawing will help to arrange the key elements of the interior in the bathroom. A room plan indicating all sizes will allow you to correctly arrange the elements in accordance with sanitary and hygienic standards.

In order for the layout of the plumbing to be comfortable, it is necessary to adhere to the following recommendations:

1. The length of the free space in front of the shower and bath should be at least 700 mm, ideally 0.1 meters.
2. The area in front of the toilet should be at least 600 mm long, and a distance of 250 mm should be left on the sides.
3. There must be a distance of at least 350 mm between the bidet and the toilet.
4. Leave 700 mm of free space in front of the sink.
5. A comfortable sink should be located at a height of 600-800 mm, a mixer - 950 mm.
6. The minimum width for a bathroom should be 700 mm, a shower cabin 900 mm, a sink 600 mm and a toilet 500 mm.

The placement of plumbing in apartment buildings is governed by building codes and regulations developed for the safe operation of communications. When planning a bathroom in a private house, you should take into account standard norms and recommendations in order to increase comfort and practicality.

Design and layout of a small bathroom

Owners of city apartments are often faced with the question of optimizing and saving space. This issue becomes especially acute in non-residential premises: kitchens, bathrooms, hallways.

Planning a small hygienic room has the following features:

1. Plumbing should be located in the course of its use.
2. Hanging storage systems and hooks should be used to place personal hygiene products.
3. Do not forget about mezzanines and built-in niches that will help you place household chemicals and cosmetics.
4. A corner shower cabin will save space.
5. A tub in the form of a drop will make it possible to free up space under a bidet or a small toilet.

When planning a small sanitary facility, consider where the door opens (to the room or to the outside). In the first case, part of the usable area of ​​the room will be lost. Installing sliding doors is a good solution.

Bathroom planning options 6 sq. m

The layout of the room is 6 sq. m depends on the length of the walls, the shape of the room and the number of corners in the room. In addition, the location of the entrance opening affects the placement of plumbing (you should not place the bidet and toilet in front of the door).

When drafting a room, you must follow these recommendations:

1. If the room looks like an elongated rectangle, then the most acceptable layout of the bathroom is in the far, deep corner, and the rest of the plumbing is on the wall with utilities.
2. A non-standard layout of a sanitary and hygienic unit may include both a bath and a shower. In this case, the plumbing is placed side by side, in the middle of the room, along one wall. Due to this, a separation of the wash and toilet areas is achieved.
3. If the sanitary and hygienic unit is in a private house with a window or bay window, then it is better to place the bathroom opposite the element. Moreover, if the room is on the ground floor, you should take care of the presence of curtains or roller blinds on the window.
4. If the family is large, then a double sink can be arranged in the room. The structure should be placed along the wall with a bidet or toilet.

When developing a project for the design of a sanitary and hygienic unit on your own, it will not be superfluous to prepare options with different layouts: this will make it possible to choose the most convenient and attractive project.

Combined bathroom layout

Often, the owners of apartments in Khrushchev's buildings think about redesigning the bathroom, making its area larger due to the adjacent non-residential premises or connecting the shower room with the toilet.

The dimensions of all rooms in the apartments are regulated by GOSTs and SNiPs, in accordance with which the planning and redevelopment of rooms is made. The decision on redevelopment must be coordinated with special authorities, the main of which is the BTP.

After the redevelopment of the bathroom, to increase the comfort of the room, it is possible to carry out the transfer of communications: pipes, today, are easily extended with the help of building materials. Often the sink needs to be moved. The most convenient location of the washbasin is between the bathroom and the toilet. The advantages of this layout are that the most attractive element - a washbasin with a mirror - is visible immediately upon entering the bathroom.

Plumbing can also be placed in the corners of the room: such a solution will open up free access to each element.

Bathroom design and layout (video)

Plumbing fixtures and furniture can be conveniently and attractively placed in both spacious and small sanitary facilities. Bathroom projects with detailed arrangements of interior elements can be created independently using programs for 2 and 3d visualization. The main thing is that the arrangement of the main elements in the room corresponds to GOSTs and SNiPs: this way the layout will be the most comfortable!
