How to choose the optimal location of the bath in the room. How to properly place plumbing fixtures and furniture in a combined bathroom. Location of plumbing fixtures in the bathroom

We always spend the beginning of a new day in the bathroom, and its design, in turn, can significantly affect the emerging mood, and even self-esteem. We will tell you how to create comfortable conditions in the bathroom space, giving photo examples, and based on the presence of the most common mistakes when arranging this room.

Poorly thought out layout

The main problem that causes various inconveniences is improperly planned bathroom space. At the same time, if in a spacious room you can still put up with the fact that the shower stall is in the wrong place, then in a small room such a “flaw” is unacceptable.

Right

In order to make it comfortable for you to be in a small bathroom, you should think about filling it down to the smallest detail, starting, of course, with large plumbing fixtures. The bathtub must be installed so that it completely fills the space along one of the walls. But if you also need to place a washing machine in the room, it is better to abandon the bath in favor of a shower.

Instead of a massive floor cabinet under the sink, use a compact wall-hung analogue, and install the toilet so that there is enough space between it and the plumbing fixtures opposite for free passage.

Club atmosphere

If you, having once admired the design of a bathroom in a popular public establishment (nightclub, cafe, restaurant), want to recreate a similar atmosphere in your own bathroom, think before you make such a mistake.

Often, bathrooms in establishments are decorated in a deliberately relaxed, languid manner, for example, in dark colors, with a lot of mirrors and dim lighting. In fact, such a bathroom interior in an apartment or house will be depressing, interfere with a cheerful awakening in the morning, and make your complexion unhealthy.

Lack of protective partitions

The area around the bathtub can be left without a protective curtain if a shower stall is additionally installed in the room. In the case where the bathtub is combined with a shower, the absence of a partition or curtain will lead to the fact that the adjacent walls and floor will be flooded with water, which you will spend extra time cleaning.

RIGHT

The simplest and most affordable way to isolate a bathtub with a shower is to install a bar between the walls and hang a functional curtain on it. There are other methods of protecting against splashes on nearby surfaces, for example, static glass partitions, sliding or hinged doors installed on the side of the bathtub.

Slippery floor

When choosing ceramic tiles for flooring, you can make one, but very significant mistake, and purchase a smooth, glossy material.

It is important to understand that for the sake of beauty you are neglecting safety rules, because if water gets on a slippery surface, the risk of serious injury during a fall increases.

RIGHT

The tiles for cladding the walls of the bathroom can be glossy, but the floor here must be matte, slightly rough. If you make the right choice in favor of special, lappated tiles, then in the future you will save yourself from unnecessary fears of damaging anything.

Dim work light

We will not tire of reminding you how important high-quality, well-installed light is in the bathroom work area. And it would be a big omission on your part to ignore the issue of installing lighting fixtures near the mirror above the sink. As a result, you can get unsightly shadows on your face, choose the wrong shade of cosmetics and, in general, spend a lot more time in the bathroom trying to look at your own reflection.

2

RIGHT

An excellent solution for a bathroom work area would be a mirror with integrated lighting that will illuminate your face softly and evenly. Alternatively, you can install a pair of identical lights on each side of the mirror at the same height from each other, but this will require installing additional wiring.

Paper wallpaper

For specific rooms with high humidity, this method of decorating walls is not suitable a priori, especially if the room is small. The paper base and glue for such wallpaper will quickly absorb moisture, the seams will come apart, and the canvas may completely move away from the surface of the walls.

RIGHT

The best material for cladding bathroom walls is ceramic tiles, laid in compliance with all installation rules. If, for some reason, you are not ready to use it in the decoration of the room, it is better to opt for a combined finish. That is, if the wallpaper is certainly washable and moisture-resistant (vinyl), it can be used in the area of ​​the sink, the front door, near the bathtub. However, it is better to cover the lower part of the walls with tiles, decorative bricks or moisture-resistant panels, especially in the shower area.

No towel holder

This seemingly insignificant detail can actually create better conditions for being in the bathroom. But if you do not provide for the installation of a rod or hanger with simple hooks in time, you may end up with some troubles. For example, when you leave the bathtub to grab a towel from across the room, you leave behind wet footprints that you might slip on.

1

RIGHT

Ideally, hooks, a rod or a multifunctional holder with a dryer should be near each area associated with water procedures: by the bathtub, by the cabin, by the sink (for spacious bathrooms).

No mat near the bath

A foot mat is a nice touch, but if you don't have one in the bathroom, you could catch a cold standing on the cold floor with your bare feet, or slip while getting out of the bath or shower.

1

RIGHT

Any plumbing store will offer you suitable mats made of cotton or soft polyester: in different sizes, shapes and pile sizes. We recommend choosing a mat with a rubberized base to prevent it from sliding on the floor surface.

Very small sink

Surprisingly, even quite spacious bathrooms often have very small bowls, probably due to the unusual design, shape or built-in sensor. In practice, such plumbing products are nothing more than decorative, low-functional accessories.

Standing near a small sink, it will be difficult for even one person to carry out the usual hygiene procedures, not to mention a married couple or children who are rushing to school in the morning.

RIGHT

In a large bathroom, it is better to immediately install two separate sinks to make daily rituals more comfortable for everyone. For small spaces, it is recommended to choose one sink with a wide bowl, or a double washbasin option.

2

Discreet decoration

If you think that in the bathroom it is enough to tile the surfaces and install suitable plumbing fixtures, we will answer: this is only 70% of what should be done in this room. After all, a bathroom is a separate, albeit small, but independent room, which can also have its own, unique image.

1

RIGHT

Decorating a bathroom can be an incredibly fun activity through which you can unleash your creativity. Therefore, we advise you to go to the store in order to choose original lamps for the work area, a beautiful mirror in a frame or with a chamfer, textile rugs, containers for soap, a bright curtain for the bath and many other useful and beautiful things.

Space is limited, and several items need to be connected to the water supply and sewer 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 bathtub, washbasin and toilet with a bidet.

Where to begin?

We make a plan. To do this, you need to know the exact dimensions of the bathroom, the location of the sewer riser and water supply. We draw a plan of the room to scale and sketch out the placement of plumbing fixtures in the bathroom with a pencil. Even more convenient: use a scheduler program from the Internet (available, for example, on the IKEA website). Let's take a closer look at the main elements of this plan.

Moydodyr A582 10 / 20 XX from Villeroy & Boch.	Washbasin with mirror In the spotlight. Ideally, this is the first item that should fall into the field of view of someone entering the bathroom. (From the point of view of feeling comfortable in the bathroom, it is considered a mistake if the main attention is drawn to the toilet or bathtub). The washbasin is mounted at a height of 80 cm from the floor. There must be at least 70 cm of free space in front of it.
Washbasin BN46A / BN50A from Flaminia.	Two sinks or one Depends on personal habits. If you are comfortable with sharing the morning or evening toilet and are used to brushing your teeth together with someone in the household, then install 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 axis of the mixers is at least 90 cm, and between the edges of the sinks - 25 cm.
Toilet K-3393 from Kohler.	Toilet Tied to a boner. Try to place them as close to the sewer riser as possible. It is not recommended to place 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 there are 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 object that catches your eye when entering the bathroom.
Bidet 750 CER750B from Agape.	Bidet Place it next to the toilet. The placement conditions are the same: 60 cm from the front edge to the wall opposite and 25 cm on the sides. It is not always possible to place a bidet in small bathrooms of typical apartments. In this case, you can buy a toilet with bidet functions - there are now many such models in both the budget and top segments (Duravit, Ideal Standard, VitrA have them).
Shower cabin Europa 10 from Samo.	Bath or cabin Depends on the area. The placement of plumbing fixtures in a combined bathroom allows for options. If the length of the short wall in the bathroom is 160 cm or more, 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 consider replacing the bathtub with a stall or explore the range of corner models. Because placing 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 bathtub.
Diva bathtub from Burgbad.	Freestanding bath Not an option for a typical apartment. A bathroom for a free-standing bath must be at least 9 square meters. meters. Only in this case does it make sense to think about such a complex (in terms of installation and connection) design. Severe demands are placed on the floor and ceilings: they must be more durable than when installing a conventional wall-mounted bathtub: a freestanding bathtub together with the entire installation system usually weighs much more.
Sink 1116601101 from Ido.	Washing machine Not far from the drain. The drain hose of the machine cannot be longer than one and a half meters, and the connection point with the drain pipe should be at a height of 70-90 cm from the floor. In this case, there must be enough free space in front of the front-loading machine to open the hatch. Options if there is a lack of space are mini machines under the sink and top-loading machines. If the placement of plumbing fixtures in the bathroom is such that there is no room left for the machine, try fitting it into the kitchen.
Wardrobe Leon credenza from Cantori.	Cabinets The final stage. Furniture for storage is planned when the placement of plumbing fixtures in the bathroom has already been thought out. To ensure that cabinets do not violate the integrity of the internal volume of the bathroom, it is better to place them along the wall where the door is located. Then the person entering will see them last. In small bathrooms, it is better to use wall cabinets (so as not to take up space on the floor) and with mirrored doors (for the effect of expanding the space). To store powders and detergents, you can equip it in a sanitary cabinet. If there are ledges in the walls, think about it. Shouldn't we turn them into storage niches?

The long-awaited bathroom renovation has been completed, and the owners of an apartment or house are faced with the question of how to properly position the plumbing fixtures. After all, it should create comfort and at the same time be located in accordance with sanitary standards. The largest element is the bathtub, for which you need to choose the optimal location in the room.

Plumbing installation standards

Bathroom equipment and furniture are placed not just like that, but in accordance with regulated standards. This is necessary to ensure proper water supply and drain installation. When planning a bathroom renovation, wires, water and sewer pipes, outlets for lighting fixtures, and sockets are installed taking into account the future location of the plumbing.

First of all, a toilet is installed if the bathroom and toilet are combined. It should be located as close as possible to the sewer pipes for easy cleaning in case of blockage. According to the requirements, the correct location of plumbing requires maintaining a certain distance:

• The optimal location of the bath from the door is 70 cm.
• From bath to heated towel rail, hanger - 50-70 cm.
• The toilet or bidet is located 60 cm from the door.
• The location of the bathtub from the washbasin is 30 cm.
• From the washbasin to the toilet (bidet) – 25 cm.
• Washbasin - 80 cm from the floor, 70 cm from the door.

If you take into account the indicated distances, the location of all plumbing fixtures in the bathroom will not only be correct, but also comfortable. You need to carefully measure the dimensions of the room in order to choose a bathtub of the optimal shape - round, corner, oval. Premises are classified depending on the size and height of the ceiling into a bathroom, a combined bathroom, a toilet and a bathroom. It differs from other rooms in dimensions. The area of ​​the bathroom should be from 3.3 sq.m., typically the location of a bathtub, washbasin, washing machine and shower. A combined bathroom is a common option for a room with a toilet where there is a toilet.

Installation features by room type

Premises for water-hygienic procedures differ in both size and shape. Taking this factor into account, they choose plumbing fixtures and the optimal location of the bathtub in the bathroom. Installation Features:

• Narrow and long room. It is convenient to place plumbing fixtures along the walls, as in the photo. On the opposite side there is a heated towel rail, sockets, a tulip, a lamp, a mirror. There remains a convenient passage and access to all equipment. If the width of a small room is more than 150 cm, the bathtub is mounted under a short wall, if less than 150 cm - under a long one.
• Large room. There is enough space here to install a bathtub in the center, as in the photo. This creates a complete feeling of comfort. Plumbing fixtures with legs look ideal. One condition is to bring the pipes to the bathtub under the floor to hide the communications. In a spacious room, the bathtub can be installed anywhere; you need a lamp on the wall and an overhead light, sockets for the boiler and washing machine.
• Rectangular room. The correct location of the bathroom is in the corner along the wall. This will intelligently save space in a small room. A washbasin with a mirror and a lamp will comfortably fit next to the bathroom, and at some distance – furniture or a washing machine. The correct location of the toilet is on the opposite side of the room, as in the photo.
• Small square room. In such a room it is generally difficult to place a full bath, and many people prefer shower stalls. But not everyone likes water treatments only in the shower. Therefore, in the corner of a small square room it is rational to place a corner bathtub of a semicircular shape, shown in the photo. This way you can save space for a washbasin, a tulip with a lamp and a small mirror, and a heated towel rail.

When choosing a location for installing a bathtub, you need to take into account where the communication pipes run. If redevelopment of the premises is required, it is necessary to obtain permission from the relevant authorities. To avoid paperwork and wasting a lot of time, it is better to choose plumbing fixtures of a suitable shape and install the bathtub in the place where the drain is provided.

Where to place a bath according to Feng Shui

One of the fashionable trends that more and more homeowners are following when arranging their rooms is the teaching of Feng Shui. Some people install a bed according to Feng Shui, others make the front door on the side recommended by fashion teachings. And some people install a bathtub according to Feng Shui to receive the energy of water.

You can look at a photo of the location of the bathroom, the features of which are as follows:

• Room for water and hygiene procedures. The correct location is on the north side of the house or apartment - in the direction of the element of water.
• The shape of the bathtub, in order for it to comply with Feng Shui ideas, should be round, oval or semicircular, the toilet is hidden from view.
• The color palette of furniture, accessories and plumbing fixtures is predominantly light, white, pastel, soft blue or green.
• Bright, but not blinding, lighting is very important. If the room has a window, this is ideal.
• According to Feng Shui, the placement of plumbing fixtures in the bathroom should be such that from anywhere in the room a person can see the person entering and not turn their back to the door.

According to fashionable Eastern teachings, there should be no objects in the bathroom that interfere with the passage of good qi energy and unnecessary things. Whether plumbing should be located according to Feng Shui or according to recommended sanitary standards is up to homeowners to decide.

The emphasis should be on convenience, comfort and the correct system for connecting water supply and sewerage, and then on the aesthetic component of the room’s design.

Specialization: master of interior and exterior finishing (plaster, putty, tiles, drywall, lining, laminate, etc.). In addition, plumbing, heating, electrical, conventional cladding and balcony extensions. That is, the renovation of an apartment or house was done on a turnkey basis with all the necessary types of work.

Installing or completely replacing plumbing in the bathroom and toilet also involves other work, without which such a “gesheft” loses its meaning. The thing is that for a complete renovation you will also have to replace the finishing of the walls, ceiling and floor, and only in this case you will feel all the charm of the newness.

I want to tell you how to make such changes with your own hands and suggest watching the video in this article.

Plumbing in the bathroom

Since the topic was announced specifically on plumbing, I will first of all point out its installation and placement. We will talk about decoration and design only in general terms, although this is also part of the arrangement of the bathroom.

Criterion No. 1 - preparation and calculation

If you are interested in replacing plumbing fixtures in the bathroom and toilet, then the old bathrooms are at least 5-10 years old, and this also applies to wiring and finishing:

• of course, it all starts with dismantling the old bathrooms - the sink, the bathtub and the toilet, which must not only be removed, but also taken out of the apartment so that they do not interfere with work;
• then we move on to dismantling the old tiles, which, by the way, can be removed together with the plaster or separately - whichever is more convenient for you;
• by knocking down old tiles and plaster, you gain access to the old water supply and sewerage wiring, and if it was done hidden, then consider yourself lucky;
• the fact is that in this case you can simply tear out the pipes from the grooves, freeing the groove, therefore, you do not have to cut and chisel new ones;
• the fact is that for most people, cutting a new groove is tantamount to beating plaster - no less dust;
• but with regard to the old water supply and sewerage connections, someone may be stingy, wanting to leave them, but I do not advise doing this;
• if they were made 10 years ago, then most likely metal plastic was used, and it should be replaced with polypropylene, and the price of PVC sewerage compared to repairs is pennies;
• when you clean the wall and renew the grooves and clean the room, open it with a primer - firstly, this is necessary for plastering and, secondly, there will be less dust;
• if your walls were lined with plasterboard, then this greatly simplifies the situation - the profiles, of course, will have to be broken, but there will be much less dust.

I won’t even talk about bathrooms in the private sector or in luxury homes - their size allows you to work wonders. Let's focus better on small bathrooms:

• for example, in “Khrushchev” or “Brezhnevka” bathrooms have 3-4 m2, and placing beautiful plumbing fixtures in such an area is a real art;
• right now you will need to decide on the placement, since the arrangement depends entirely on the water supply and sewerage connections;

1 — entrance door; 2 - toilet; 3 - sink; 4 — shower; 5 - washing machine

• here is an example of the placement of plumbing units in a Khrushchev building - as you can see, the bathroom was sacrificed, replacing it with a cubicle, but there was room for a washing machine;
• in some cases, separate bathrooms are combined intentionally in order to somehow increase the area, and this actually gives some freedom of action;

Arrangement in a five-square bath: 1 door; 2 - toilet; 3 - washing machine;

• Of course, in some houses, for example, in type P-44, the baths are slightly larger and here, naturally, the possibilities increase;
• in such situations, you can even install an automatic washing machine in the bathroom, but the bathtub should still be left in place. There is an opportunity to make some moves of the sink and toilet, everything is at your discretion;
• and one more thing - arrange all the nodes so that you can maintain a sewer slope (this will be the 50th pipe) of 2.5-3.5 cm/m linear.

The only unit where a slope is not required is a washing machine - there is a forced drain.

Criterion No. 2 - piping layout

I have already said that it is very important to hide the entire pipeline under the finish. Moreover, it is desirable that these are not boxes, but simply a flat wall or floor, especially if you are interested in built-in plumbing.

Of course, if you have a “socket”, that is, “Brezhnevka” or P-44, then you are unlikely to plaster and, most likely, will line the walls with plasterboard. Consequently, you can hide all pipelines underneath without gating.

But that’s not the point here - you definitely need to align each fitting and bend so that the pipes, nuts and couplings of the bathrooms exactly match them. That's why I talked about accurate calculations.

I have already mentioned the slope of the sewer, so imagine that you want to install a bathtub, box or shower somewhere at the end of the chain, that is, at a great distance from the point of entry of the 50th pipe into the riser. We need a slope of 2.5-3.5 cm/m linear, this means that with each meter the pipe will rise by about 3 cm, as required by the instructions.

Were you able to calculate whether it would fit at a sufficient height to the siphon of any of these units? This is a very common and quite serious mistake of amateurs - then they reduce the slope, as a result of which frequent blockages occur and the drainage is very slow.

If you definitely make the sewer system from PVC, then the water supply may already be in question. Most likely it will be polypropylene, and it comes in four types.

So, two of them do not have reinforcement, these are PPR PN-10 and PN-16, and two are reinforced with aluminum foil, these are PPR PN-20 and PN-25. The first two options are intended only for cold water, and the second two are for any water.

I advise you to use reinforced pipes for water supply for both cold water and hot water supply, but PN-20 is best, since welding PN-25 will require a stripper - the reinforcement is located too close to the top.

PPR welding parameters

Most likely, you will use a 20-gauge pipe, in extreme cases - a 25-gauge pipe, which equates to metal ones, like 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. And the passage of water must be ensured unhindered. Therefore, pay attention to the table above, and you will understand how to make the weld correctly so that the flash does not block the passage or the connection does not turn out to be weak.

In order for the connection to be as compact as possible, you can learn one fairly simple thing - for faucets you should use fittings with internal threads, and for connecting hoses - with external ones.

Also, since installing PPR plumbing is essentially easy, don't get complacent. Errors in the angle of rotation of the fitting can lead to the fact that you will not install the mixer or it will leak, which is also no good. And given the fact that the distance between the centers of the fittings should be exactly 150 mm, it is best for you to use a soldering strip with ready-made standard parameters.

And one more note about how to install plumbing, whether you have drywall or plaster - do not immediately solder the fittings, even the soldering strip for the mixer! Make conclusions with pieces of pipes and weld them with plugs.

And after finishing, solder the fittings so that they are flush with the front finish, for example, with ceramic tiles. If it is under the tiles, then they will need to be pushed out somewhere 6-10 mm beyond the level of the plaster - it all depends on the thickness of the tile and the adhesive layer.

Criterion No. 3 - electrical wiring

Good lighting is half the success of a successful interior

Even the most beautiful plumbing fixtures will not look their best if there is no good lighting in the bathroom. Moreover, the point here is not only in brightness, but in the location of the lamps.

Of course, it is best if the light in the room comes from two sides - from above and from the side, that is, if you have ceiling and wall lamps. And it is advisable that one of them is not too bright, since shiny ceramics will be unpleasantly reflected in the eyes. Therefore, the best option would be spotlights on the ceiling (recessed or overhead) and dim sconces on the walls, for example, along the edges of the mirror.

Also regarding safety - all electrical appliances located in the bathroom must be grounded. This means that you must provide for this when routing the wires.

In addition, the wires themselves must have a sufficient cross-section, since they will be closed and cannot be replaced. Therefore, for an electric boiler and washing machine it is best to use copper with a cross section of 2-3 mm 2. This, of course, is a lot, but you will be calm that even with poor contact, your wiring will withstand.

Criterion No. 4 - smooth and beautifully finished floors, walls and ceilings

For some reason, everyone is used to talking only about lighthouse plaster on walls and lighthouse screed, losing sight of the ceiling, but this plane is no less important than the floor and walls. The quality of finishing and the overall appearance of the interior depend on it.

Of course, if your ceilings are, for example, 260 cm or more, then a suspended structure, and sometimes two tiers, solves all problems. But if the height of the room is two and a half meters, then you will have to work hard here.

It is in such standard rooms that a lighthouse ceiling is made - after all, it is not always just puttied, sometimes ceramic tiles are also placed there.

There is no need to talk for a long time about the floor and walls - beacons are required to be installed here, because the installation of plumbing fixtures in the bathroom depends on this. It should be level on the floor and relative to the walls.

In addition, some plumbing fixtures, such as a toilet, are attached directly to the floor, which requires a rigid and level base so that the bathroom does not wobble. Another part of the plumbing fixtures is attached to the wall; these are sinks and wall-mounted models of bidets and toilets. Here, too, rigidity and evenness are required (in the case of plasterboard, reinforcing profiles are installed on the frame).

Regardless of the size of the bathroom, ceramic tiles will always look beautiful there, since the material harmonizes perfectly with ceramics and metal.

And, as a rule, the question of which plumbing fixture to choose often depends on the color, size and composition of the tile. Or, on the contrary, the selection of tiles is made in accordance with the plumbing fixtures already purchased.

Criterion No. 5 - plumbing units

First, I want to draw your attention to how to choose good quality plumbing fixtures and, of course, one of the main criteria is its cost. If we talk about producing countries, then in Europe the best are probably the Germans and Italians.

Although this does not mean at all that you cannot buy good and even excellent Russian-made products, moreover, cheaper. It's all about brands. And I, as a master, am also partially dependent on this - habit takes too much of a toll.

Of course, such plumbing as in the photo above will be of high quality simply by default, since the kind of money it costs does not allow for defects in production.

And here is the excellent design of Khrushchev’s bathtub. All plumbing fixtures are selected in accordance with the size of the room; light colors predominate both in the decoration and in the installed plumbing fixtures. Remember, light shades visually “expand” the space.

You should also pay attention to faucets, without which any bathtub nowadays loses its meaning. They come in two-valve, single-lever, overhead, built-in and non-contact types. Decide for yourself which is better, but...

In order to choose a good one, you need to not just think about how to clean such metal, but how it will behave in conditions of high humidity, where it will be constantly located. The best faucets are made of stainless steel, followed by galvanized steel, then brass, but under no circumstances should you purchase shut-off valves made of silumin!

Laconic single lever mixer

Also, the quality of mixers is affected by shut-off valves, these are cartridges, ball valves and valve axle boxes. Single-lever faucets use cartridges and ball valves, but the latter are much more durable, although they are more expensive.

The same can be said about faucet axle boxes for two-valve mixers - they are cheaper, they have a worm rod and a rubber shutter. And more expensive, but also more durable ones have a ceramic pair that regulates the water pressure.

Well, the most expensive ones are touchless faucets, where you can set the default water temperature (knob on the side). Their quality is usually guaranteed.

Conclusion

If the piping and finishing are done at a high level, then installing plumbing in the bathroom with your own hands will only bring you pleasure - rest assured! And if you want to add something, then write a comment about it on this page.

Convenient and comfortable housing is the key to good rest and well-being of all its inhabitants. But when buying an apartment, especially in older buildings, many people are faced with an inconvenient and impractical bathroom layout.

You can combine a bathroom with a toilet by demolishing the adjacent wall. In a combined room, you must leave one door and one lamp.

Attention: if a pipe runs along an adjacent wall, then its removal should be carried out exclusively by specialists, and only after approval.

An example of combining a toilet and a bathroom - a difficult redevelopment when pipe relocation is required

Ways to arrange small bathrooms

Let's consider several layout options for typical bathrooms with an area of ​​up to 5 square meters.

Option 1:

• instead of a sitz bath, a shower cabin is installed;
• The washbasin and toilet are made corner.

An example of the layout of a small bathroom in Khrushchev

Option 2:

• leave a full bath;
• the toilet tank is hidden in the wall;
• a cabinet is installed under the washbasin for storing various accessories;

Advice: You can hang a large mirror above the washbasin to visually expand the space.

Small bathroom with full bath tank

Option 3:

• a corner tank is installed in one of the corners; you can use a mini-bath with a jacuzzi;
• There is a washing machine near the door;
• there is a washbasin on the opposite wall;
• Near the sink there is a toilet, the tank of which is hidden in a niche.

A corner bathtub with an interesting shape will be the highlight of a small bathroom.

Bottom line

A convenient bathroom layout is the key to the comfort of all family members. Therefore, increasingly, small bathrooms and toilets are combined into one room. If the redevelopment is carried out in accordance with all the rules and regulations, you can enjoy the convenience and safety of your bathroom.
