Making a small bathroom can be a big problem. And, alas, almost every owner of a typical apartment encounters it. After all, this is a real puzzle: how to arrange all the necessary plumbing and organize a competent storage system in a room that is a little more spacious than a refrigerator box. We have learned a few tips from experienced designers and are happy to share professional secrets with you.!
Color scheme
Most of the advice usually comes down to the fact that any small room should be decorated in the lightest and most unobtrusive shades. As a result, hopeful owners of small bathrooms buy the same white or light beige wall and floor tiles. But the crowding effect does not disappear. But it creates the feeling that you are in a well. Use bright accents, different textures (if all the tiles are of the same shade, then at least the size is different in different zones), think about such a solution as an accent wall. If white remains the basis of the color scheme of the design, then such experiments will be of little danger..
Custom washbasin
A bathroom without a washbasin is simply unthinkable. And even in the smallest bathroom you can find a place for it, if you give preference not to standard tulip models, but to more compact options. Very often in such a situation, corner washbasins are installed. But if this is inconvenient, given the rest of the room environment, then we recommend taking a closer look at small rectangular washbasins, such as the one in the photo. And under it you can organize a small bedside table or a niche.
Corner shower
A corner shower is a lifesaver solution for a small bathroom. It can save you a lot of space..
It is good if its doors are made of glass, and the back wall is the bathroom wall – so the shower stall will become part of the interior and will not visually make it closer.
Niches instead of shelves
If shelves and cabinets for storing jars and bottles of shampoos, balms and other body care products simply have nowhere to hang or they will interfere, then perhaps small niches in the walls will be a good alternative.
Use the door
As you can see, several towel rails can be fitted on the surface of the door. It looks neat, and in practice it is very convenient.
Engage all levels
Owners of small bathrooms should learn to think wider and be able to use literally every centimeter of free space wisely. So, for example, not many people think of making shelves under the very ceiling, but the idea is good! especially if the items on it will be stored in boxes or wicker boxes – convenient and beautiful.
Even a washing machine, which seemingly takes up a lot of space, can be “squeezed” into the space of a small bathroom, placing it under or even above the cabinet.
