Toilet – the room for which at repair quite often there are not enough forces and means any more. It is completed by the principle "if only to finish". Where to think of design here. But even the smallest toilet can be made beautiful and convenient.
Small is what?
Less certain sizes just do not build toilets in multifamily houses. There is standard - Construction Norms and Regulations. It relies on ergonomics and common sense. That is the adult has to come into the room freely, sit down there, be unrolled, not touch with the head ceiling, and not to rest legs and elbows against doors and walls. Proceeding from it: the minimum depth of the room of 1.2 m, width of 0.8 m, height 2.5 (unfortunately, upon height it can appear less if owners decide to establish stretch or false ceiling).
Maximum sizes of bathroom are not limited.
Therefore we will consider small such toilet in which the toilet bowl finds room, one person rather freely feels, indoors it is possible to establish sink with hygienic shower, superficial locker, the boiler.
From it also "we dance".
At the head of corner. Always we consider ergonomics
The toilet bowl has to be located so that it was convenient to visitor of the toilet room to them to use. That means of hygiene were in reach zone, as well as sink with hygienic shower (if that is available). For right-handed persons it is desirable on the right. For lefthanders, respectively, is closer to the leading hand. But if absolutely the arrangement of walls and (or) apportion of communications does not allow in any way, then it is possible to establish all sanitary accessories by the principle "though somewhere if only were".
Not always they, by the way, are necessary. If you sincerely do not understand why to people such "excess" how hygienic shower (without speaking about bidet), then … can, it also is not useful to you? Though even the most numbed reactionaries recognize over time: together with the main function such dushik has also other advantages. With its help it is convenient to wash toilet bowl, to gather water for economic needs, to rinse rags, mops. The same and with sink. Decades owners of separate bathroom after toilet went to wash hands to the bathroom and did not think that it is inconvenient.
Of course, more likely at repair of small bathroom the owners will seek to establish all possible achievements of civilization. And if something does not climb, to look for alternative decisions. And it is correct! It is possible to find way out of many difficult situations. For example, if in toilet the notorious hygienic shower does not climb in any way, instead of it quite often establish cover bidet.
As for toilet bowl, hinged are more practical also gigiyenichny (at least because under them it is easy to wash the floor), and, above all – is more compact than floor. When it comes to small toilet, each centimeter matters.
Whether it is possible to involve corners?
On sale there are angular toilet bowls and sinks. They are sometimes very convenient and really save the place. But not always. In toilet, minimum and admissible on Construction Norms and Regulations, with angular plumbing you can win nothing. Visually the room will seem is more spacious, and upon will become inconvenient. Carefully you count such nuances at planning stage!
What … walls in toilet are only made of
Now about material selection in texture and color and, actually, design.
Known fact: white, light color in interior visually expands space. Monophonic uniform surface too. That is the covering of walls, dark brown or blue in floret, will be unambiguously lost to white tile "without a thing". Various bordyurchik, tiles with drawings will visually reduce your bathroom too.
By the way, only it is optional to use tile to finishing of walls. Walls in small toilet can be also:
- are painted;
- are papered;
- are upholstered with panels (laminate, PVC tile).
It is better to choose ceiling without "frills". Kind of our people loved rack designs, they "eat" height. Possible options:
- to paint surface;
- to establish stretch or hinged ceiling:
- to pokleit wall-paper or plates of PVC on ceiling (but it as a last resort, these materials strongly reduce the price of interior).
Optical illusion
In the small room (especially – bathroom) it is possible "to play" in flowers and shades of surfaces, visually moving apart walls, ceiling, floor. If to make one dark wall, then it will kind of be removed, all space will seem more volume. Lay dark tile on the floor – and it will visually add height.
It is possible to combine shades or to use contrast colors. Here matter of taste. Equally stylish look in small bathroom:
- white with black (as well as other sharp contrasts, for example, red plus blue);
- shades of one color (from light-beige to brown, from light pink to lilac, etc.);
- classical interior combinations (gray plus pink, turquoise and chocolate).
Communications and design
Problem which rises, probably, before everyone who has decided on repair: as it is better to hide communications.
Sometimes part of pipes put in wall (but only if it is possible, walls can be too thin).
Communications sew up in gipsokartnony designs. Such ledges turn out, they can be used as shelves.
Access to valves cannot be immured therefore pipes behind toilet bowl:
- close louver doors;
- hide behind the sanitary hatch (only, please, do not use plastic, it will reduce the price of all design, it is better to take invisible, under tile);
- veil picture or mirror.
All plumbing has to be one color, ideally – shade (and them at one white dozens). To establish blue toilet bowl and pink sink it is admissible only if such is there was initial design concept.
Original decisions
Finally several design decisions which can be implemented in small toilet.
- Photowall-paper or wall-paper with the drawing (in the form of books, types of the nature, windows to other world, etc.). They can be complemented with the real bookshelves, frames, and those communications will already disappear.
- Posters on walls, plates, labels.
- Unexpected objects in bathroom. For example, floor lamp, suitcase, collection of shells and so forth. It is ideal if they take not just like that the place, and to perform additional practical function (lighting, storage, etc.).
