The correct design of the bathroom depends on its size and your personal needs. A list of problems will help you find the right place for everything.

The bathroom, used daily by the whole family, must follow some basic rules of organization, functionality, and comfort, creating conditions for relaxation and rejuvenation. A basic criterion of proper location is to ensure free operating zones in front of any type of sanitary ware or bathroom furniture. They should not overlap and should be large enough to move comfortably one or even two people who may be in the same bathroom at the same time.

 

Small - narrow bathroom

A small space, which in addition may have a disproportionately small width in relation to its length, creates a problem, especially when a bathtub cannot be placed along the small dimension to square it. Sanitary ware and furniture should be as small as possible. The wall-mounted basin and the hanging sink take up less space than other sanitary ware. In any case, we need to know the dimensions of the sanitary ware from the manufacturers or the shops. A clever combination of colors, patterns, and mirrors will increase the sense of the size of the bathroom. Good ventilation is necessary when there are mirrors, so as not to fill with water vapor. One solution to reduce the feeling of the corridor being created is to build different levels on the floor. The above solution squares the space. The scales give the feeling that space is wider and balance the length of the room. You can achieve a similar result by using tiles of different colors. Strips perpendicular to the largest dimension square space. But definitely, the colors should be bright and their representations simple.

 

Parallelogram

In a rectangular bathroom, the common mistake is to place the bathtub along with the large side. This emphasizes the concept of the corridor and the result is ugly. If a bathtub does not fit in the smallest dimension, it is better to prefer a shower.

 

Big bathroom

When the bathroom is spacious enough, two sinks can be installed, as long as they do not obstruct access to other sanitary ware and do not emphasize the linear layout. If the bathroom is large, it is convenient to place cabinets. Particularly convenient is the construction of a piece of furniture that includes both sinks, with a small in-depth surface, leaving a relatively large space in front of them.

 

Square bathroom

This space has the most convenient dimensions, especially if it is a bit large. However, precisely because of the many alternatives it offers, it is easy to make mistakes and the result is not satisfactory. Both a bathtub and a shower can be fitted. Their combination is very practical in everyday use, but you must pay attention to the place where they will be placed. Make sure that the shower is discreet and that there is a belt in front of the sinks that are not interrupted when accessing other sanitary ware. Mirrors in appropriate places on the walls will give a sense of comfort in the space.

 

Special cases

Many times a bathroom with satisfactory dimensions, has recesses or curved walls inside. The design possibilities in these cases are many, but special treatment is required so that the space is fully exploitable and to ensure the functionality of all areas, even those that are adjacent to the curved part of the recess. Take advantage of the peculiarities of the bathroom to create storage spaces. You can change the look of the bathroom and make it more practical by making furniture or built-in levels that will smooth out the curves or recesses and in which the sanitary ware will be built.
