Bathroom design 4 sq. M.m.: design with shower, combined and other

We congratulate the reader on the decision to update the design of the bathroom. Many people might think that this procedure is complicated, but if you are properly prepared to reshuffle or create a unique style of this room, you can do everything very quickly. We propose to go directly to the matter.

The best way to get started is to draw a bathroom plan on a scale. This method requires patience and accuracy, but it allows you to more accurately model the future "picture" and conveniently place, for example, a washing machine.

There are two ways to plan a bathroom:

1. We use a special program. We go to the search system, type "a program for modeling the bathroom", download and use. Soft allows you to create a three-dimensional model of the future bathroom by simply moving the models of the toilet, sink and so on. Note that you do not need to try to understand complex design software - a fairly simple program.

2. Traditional way. This method involves the use of planning skills on paper. To do this, we need millimeter paper, a 5 meter roulette, an elastic band, an adhesive tape, a pencil, a tracing paper and a couple of sheets of plain paper. Draw a sketch, set the dimensions of each element of the bathroom and create a bathroom plan in scale 1:10.

It should be noted that even in the case of creating a plan using a computer, it will be necessary to measure roulette.

We suggest you to watch an interesting video about the layout:

Of course, the opportunity to take a bath after a hard day's work is a great way to relax and relieve nervous tension. If possible, the bath should be installed by all.

Modern design projects often involve replacing the bathtub with a shower. In fact, this solution is literate, if only because the room becomes much more spacious.

For skeptical citizens, you can find a compromise - shower box, which will be a wonderful alternative to a large tub. The main advantage of this shower enclosure is that such a system provides an opportunity to steam almost like a real bath.

Conclusion: you can change the bath to the shower, especially if you need to make the room more spacious. Many make a shower with a drain in the floor, it looks more "airy" and takes up less space.

Now we are talking about a combined version of the bathroom and toilet.

We consider it necessary to immediately warn that any movement of the toilet is fraught with the organization of a new supply of sewer pipes. Despite the fact that this procedure is not very complicated, you will need to purchase high-quality hardware. In any case, replacing an obsolete model with a corner or wall construction will save extra space.

But in order not to change the bathroom, you should immediately take responsibility for plumbing planning in the bathroom. The hinged toilet will look modern and beautiful. And if the model is narrow, this will create an additional visual effect of increasing the area of ​​the bathroom. At 4 square meters extra space will be more than welcome.

As for the color scheme, it is worth choosing light colors for finishing a small room, which not only lifts the mood to the owner, but also visually increase the space.

As an additional background, you can choose vertical patterned decors, which have recently become very popular among modern designers.

With the help of red or burgundy accessories, you can correctly place the color accents in the interior.

You can use a mosaic of different shades, which will also increase the space and bring originality to the interior. In fact, the color scheme is important not only for creating a unique style - properly chosen color helps create a mood. In any case, the choice is for the owner of the room.

Wall decoration plays an important role in the process of creating a unique bathroom design - they attract the most attention. Also it is necessary to pay special attention to the material itself, which should be able to cope with high humidity.

Modern manufacturers offer a huge number of options for finishing the walls, and we propose to pay attention to the most popular alternatives:

• Ceramic tiles;
• Agglomerate;
• Plastic panels;
• Marble;
• Paint.

Ceramic tile is a classic option, and it always looks chic. It has a low moisture absorption coefficient and is at the lowest scale in the radiation radiation rating.

Some interesting information about laying tiles:

As for the of the agglomerate, by the qualities it even overtakes the ceramics. The fact is that it is not prone to abrasion and is simple in laying.

Plastic panels is one of the cheapest options for finishing. It is resistant to moisture and durable.

The marble is considered to be one of the most luxurious and versatile materials, as it is used not only for decoration, but also as a material for creating decorative elements.

Paint should be applied in case the surface of the wall is flat - this is also one of the cheapest options for finishing. Please note that the paint must be moisture resistant.

And now let's talk about finishing the floor. At this stage, you need to choose the right material. This will be easy, as the modern market offers a lot of options for finishing.

Most often, when finishing the bathroom, the following floor coverings are used:

1. Linoleum. It is much cheaper than ceramic tiles. It is best to use a textured linoleum, since it slips less.
2. Natural stone. Despite the rarity of use, this kind of material is very beautiful. However, it is expensive and when it hits the water it slides.
3. Underground floor. On the primer pour out the polymer mixture, which solidifies and turns into a floor. This option is great for a bath, because it perfectly repels moisture.
4. Wooden floor, laminate or parquet. The main thing here is to use moisture resistant woods( larch or teak), which will be additionally treated with a special water-repellent agent.

The design and color scheme of the floor must correspond to the general style of the bathroom.

In terms of design, it is very important that it is even, and its color corresponds to the overall color scheme. The universal colors include white, turquoise and other "light" tones.

It is worth noting that it is not necessary to purchase stretch ceilings, as they are expensive, it is much cheaper to paint.

When choosing, be guided by what is most important to you: price, aesthetics and beauty or durability.

Take a closer look at the mirrored ceilings - they can become the highlight of the interior in the bathroom.

Any professional designer will advise the to avoid the choice of bulky furniture for one simple reason - it visually "squeezes" the space even if it does not take up much space.

In the case of a bathroom design of 4 m², it is better to use open structures with a large number of glasses or metal. White-colored furniture also looks great in the bathtub - especially good if it's hanging. In this case, it not only saves space, but also gives the room "modernity".

As far as lighting is concerned, there is one rule among designers: you can not install a single light source in the middle of the bathroom. This will create a visual effect of the "compressed" space due to the fact that the corners remain in the shadows.

To overcome this situation, you need to use several ceiling and zonal lamps.

Throughout the article, we have already mentioned many times about mirrors. In fact, their role in expanding the boundaries of the bathroom can be attributed to a special category. In addition to the mirror above the sink, you can install one or two on the other walls.

The most important condition is not to overdo it and do so that their abundance does not irritate the owner of the premises.

The glossy surfaces of furniture can also fulfill the function of mirrors.

The most spectacular and modern looks is the mirror ceiling, the in which you can peer, taking a warm foamy bath. However, professional designers consider it necessary to warn about the presence of a mirror tile - it looks very beautiful, but extremely fragile and difficult to look after.

Look carefully at the doorway - how much free vertical space you can use here! Most often this area in the bathroom is the most free and it must be filled.

To rationalize the free space, we recommend you hang the shelves in which personal care products will be placed. Again, the main condition for design design is to create these shelves in such a way that they do not violate the overall style of the bathroom.

Let's sum up and recall the main ways to create a comfortable bathroom. After all, we are interested in the fact that everything in this room was necessary, but at the same time we want it to become more beautiful and more spacious.

Main methods:

1. We use single-color color scheme or mosaic;
2. We try to put furniture of small size;
3. Install several light sources;
4. Do not forget about the space above the doorway;
5. We use mirrors for visual expansion of space;
6. You can move the sink and hide under it a washing machine;
7. The ceiling and the floor must be level and water-repellent.

Here we are at the end of our article about creating a literate and beautiful style inside the bathroom. It remains to add that the owner of the apartment himself can show creativity and add his ideas, which can be borrowed from the article about the design of the bathroom.
