Many modern apartments, like housing of Soviet buildings, do not please the bathrooms. But even if only 4 square meters are available. m., There are ways and this area to make a cozy and functional, inspissing everything you need here. The design of the premises of miniature sizes becomes an exciting occupation.
Features planning
The bathroom happens:
- deaf room without windows;
- with a window;
- angular;
- located between other premises;
- combined with the toilet;
- separated from him.
From all of these factors and have to be repelled, a slid device with a comfortable small bathroom.
If the project for which the apartment is built, the presence of a separate bathroom, To expand the space of this part of the house, you can put on the demolition of the wall separating one room from the other. But such radical measures are possible, if it is convenient to all households. If the family is large, the combination of different bathroom parts functionality is irrational.
Then there is no other exit, except to use the bathroom limited in square meters. By making up an updated plan, you should consider every centimeter of available space. . This refers to a niche device, including under the ceiling and in the area of water pipes, the use of embedding receptions of particularly selected techniques: washing machine, toilet, bath or shower.
Sometimes in such rooms even the entry transfer is justified. If you find a place in the corner for the door runner, it will be easier to put furniture and plumbing.
Style solutions
Any bathroom is not just a place where hygiene questions solve. Even without having a certain goal, I want to be for some time to relax and stay alone. Tune in the desired wave helps one or another design that correlates with the ideas about the beauty and comfort at the residents of the house.
The modern market for finishing materials, furniture and plumbing allows you to realize almost any style solutions - from modern to classic.
From the most fashionable today - Ecosil. The design uses natural motives on which accent is being made. As a main color, cream either beige. Naturally for ecosil use and green. The texture of finishing is wood or mosaic.
At the same time, glossy elements are important, visually spreading space.
Modern style approaches allow to combine in the interior gray and red colors . At the same time gray - the main one, and the red is used as a supplement. Here will be appropriate to the shades of dark wood, emphasizing the depth of the main colors.
Having arrange such an interior, you will have to think good all its components to avoid the feeling of cramped. The specialist is completely able to dispose of even dark shades, so that the area of the bathroom has such a small size visually squeezed. For this purpose, the finishing elements of one tone with a glossy effect are used. Thanks to this, they are not too distinguished on the ground and do not create an effect that the room is forced by superfluous objects.
However, connoisseurs of classics may not worry about the fact that the interior of their bathroom will seem to someone unwise. Classic style is always relevant. Light finish and multi-colored mosaic floor in a favorable light will present the existing platform, emphasizing traditional motifs in the design. Also here is the best mirror of oval shape.
Very relevant in a small bathroom and Sea topics . Beige mosaic in combination with a large blue tiled will create the desired impression. The space, thanks to this combination, will seem more voluminous and spacious.
Well emphasizes the marine style floor, separated in the sand tones in combination with the blue walls of the walls, and the decor of the interior elements under the stone. The desired atmosphere is desirable to supplement the point illumination.
Color spectrum
Design involves a wide variety of color solutions in the bathroom finish, But traditionally bright shades are used here. This is the easiest solution for premises with an area of only 4 square meters, especially when people who make repair at home, do not have special knowledge in the artistic sphere.
Basic in this case is most often selected White color. At the same time, it does not make a space so much as much as he gives more than the other finish. They should not be carried away. No need to confuse home bathroom with sick leave - it is precisely such associations when looking at a snow-white bathroom.
In addition, the glare, which creates a glossy white surface, get tired, and in such a situation it becomes simply boring.
The best partners for the White in a small bathroom are:
- blue;
- greenish blue;
- Ivory;
- pearl gray;
- peach;
- beige.
When finishing a miniature bathroom, you can take two tones of one auxiliary or simply using paired colors, such as blue and blue . At the same time, the contrast of the tones in a limited space has the right to exist, however, the opposition should not be deliberate, and the bright tone is not too much. For example, the elements of red on a white base will make a stylish bathroom, if not to go through the amount of bright enclosures.
When using two colors, for example, when finishing with tiles, an auxiliary elements can be supplemented with a pattern.
Bathroom minimum size should be very careful Large bright drawings. From a small distance of their beauty, not to evaluate anyway, but there is a risk to visually reduce the already close room.
In the same time mosaic , including a set of different shades, is able to blur the boundaries of the room and hide the shortcomings of the plan.
When choosing a color is best guided own preferences rather than fashion trends or other people's tips . Repair is done for a long time, and admire the created once the interior will have more than one year.
It is important to enter such a room, throughout this time did not occur to leave him immediately. "Incorrect repair" wants to remake before planned, and well, if there is a sufficient amount.
Finishing options
It is also of great importance for the perception and comfort of a small bathroom. It has the selection of finishing materials for the floor, walls and ceiling, which should be not only beautiful, but also moisture-resistant.Walls
Traditionally, to create the interior of the bathroom used:
- plastic panels;
- ceramic tile;
- marble;
- agglomerate;
- Special paint.
Environmental bathroom is best suited Staining the walls of paint, resistant to moisture.
In order for such a finish to look beautiful, you will have to carefully take advantage of the preliminary alignment of the walls. If they are curves, paint will only emphasize flaws.
A much more solid view of the room can happen if the walls arrange ceramic tiles. This is a classic when creating an interior in the bathrooms. The walls with such a coating are reliably protected from moisture, and the set of decoration of the finishing material in stores is so great that any designer plan can be implemented.
Plastic panels Much more economical when "hovering the gloss" in a wet room. Mount them are easy, and the choice of coloring is not bad. You can choose a finish at least under the stone, even under ceramic tiles. For little money there is an opportunity to give a bath with a worthy view. This will serve such a finish long term.
The only trouble of these materials in their fragility, although damaged fragments can be replaced.
Agglomerate is good because it does not inscribe, does not miss moisture . You can choose the material of any shade depending on the added pigment.
But it must be borne in mind that because in its essence it is a compressed stone crumb, the agglomerate has a significant weight, and this is not always appropriate when finishing.
Even a small bathroom, decorated marble, looks like a part of the palace . In addition, this is a very durable material that even strong blows will withstand heavy objects - anything happens to every way. Therefore, it is happening that, premature repair will not need.
However, it is necessary to keep in mind that the design of the walls by this material - the pleasure is not cheap . At the same time, since the marble is porous, moisture penetrates into it. It requires processing with special means so that spots do not appear on the surface of the marble wall. You should always wipe it dry. Also, no household compounds containing chlorine - it damages the structure of the finishing stone when wiping such a surface.
Floor
To finish the floor in the bathroom most often use:
- linoleum;
- ceramic tile;
- Self-leveling floors.
Linoleum Allows cheap to solve the problem with floor-coating in the bathroom, although it has only a thin waterproof layer. Experts advise to use linoleum in a wet room without a substrate, which suffers from droplet penetration through the seams. In this sense, its durability is dependent on the quality of laying the finishing material, as well as the safety of everything that is under it.
When the linoleum is selected, it is also necessary to give preference to the variants with a rough surface, so that after repair when the liquid hit the floor, do not slip.
At the same time, establishing heavy items like a washing machine in the bathroom, you need to be prepared for the fact that traces of them will certainly printed on the coating.
The use of bulk floors - A relatively recent phenomenon in design, which opens up huge artistic possibilities when creating interiors. It looks very realistic of sea foam under legs or flower meadow.
Such a coating is easy to wash, as it is absolutely smooth and there are no microcracks in it - the reasons for the spread of microbes. This surface is well opposed to mechanical loads and chemical exposure.
However, preferring the floor finish in the bathroom in this technique, it should be noted that pleasure is the wrong, and liquid polyurethane, which is used during installation, is easily flammable . And if the likelihood of such a development of events is small, then from a heavy smell one still does not go anywhere. Soothes that after hardening from toxins, even memories remain.
Ceramic tile for the floor in the bathroom, in contrast to the bulk sex, is used more often. It is familiar and more affordable. Just as for the walls, you can choose a tile of a variety of colors, externally imitating any texture. But it is necessary to consider that the surface of the floor must be properly prepared, and the tiles themselves need to be laid with the mind using the correct grout. This case will have to trust a specialist whose services are also cost in the animate.
It is better not to choose the cheapest version of the tile to walk on the floor was safe even in conditions when drops fall under the feet, and the water is poured at all.
Ceiling
Separate the ceiling in a small bathroom in different ways:
- use stretch design;
- paint;
- Apply the mirror.
Stretch ceiling increasingly used when finishing bathrooms, including minimal areas. Typically choose a variant with a glossy surface that creates the impression of space volume. The dignity of the design is that it is easy to wash. It is recommended to use this finish in rooms with good ventilation. If the house is a flood, it will take on the whole blow, but after the water is solved, the fungus can develop under the ceiling itself.
It is likely if there is no ventilation hole in the gap between the stretch ceiling.
Budget decision - use special paint. Plus, it is easy to paint the ceiling independently, it is important only to competently prepare the surface and choose the paint in the store - if it is "wrong", there is a risk that the mold will be held on the ceiling.
A mirror ceiling in a small bathroom is a good solution, since it significantly expands the space. In addition, this design is resistant to moisture, easy to mounted, even if the "native" ceiling is uneven. However, in caring for a mirror coating there are difficulties as when working with any mirror. From divorces on it, it is difficult to get rid of it, especially with the account of the fact that it falls for a long time to keep hands raised up when cleaning, which is very tired.
When choosing finishing materials, there are no ideal solutions, but the optimal can be chosen, achieving the desired effect and the extent of the functionality that is counting on when creating the interior of a four-meter bathroom.
Selection of furniture and plumbing
A large part of any bathroom is directly bath. If we are talking about a close room, many to the mind comes to replace it with a shower cabin. If the bath is fundamentally, you can stop the choice on the design in which the shower and bath are combined.
As for the toilet bowl, for a combined small bathroom, it is better to choose an angular option or wall . You can pick up a plumbing device in the store, in which there is no drain tank, and the flushing is carried out forcibly. Due to this, it will be possible to avoid the feeling of clutterness in the room.
A washing machine for a close bathroom will have to buy compact . The car in which you can wash a bunch of linen of one color, it does not enter there. But when buying shells and washing, it makes sense to take care of how to combine them into a compact design.
Combining will save a decent piece of valuable area, if the sink is installed above the machine.
It will be logical to pick up for the bathroom. Furniture white. Metal and glass elements will come to the place. It is no coincidence that of such materials make open shelves in niches and under the mirror. All these things look in a close room at all at all cumbersome, supporting the illusion of the space.
Successful examples
The ideas of the design of a small bathroom and placement in it all necessary for hygienic procedures are very diverse.
- The angular design of the shower with transparent walls, compact sink with a table and a small-sized toilet easily placed on 4 "squares".
- The lack of a free space in the bathroom "disguised" by designer receptions is a mosaic coating on the floor and a large mirror.
- The finish in the gray tones is not completely boring if the walls are in a small pattern. This is just what is needed for a small bathroom. The design under the mirror successfully combines the sink and washing machine.
