A small bathroom is a common problem in apartment buildings. But even these 3-4 square meters. It’s quite possible to turn it into an oasis of comfort and relaxation if you use design techniques. Having chosen the right decoration, plumbing and furniture, you will see that it was not the narrow area that was the cause of the cramped space, but only the illiterate placement of things. Our recommendations will help you correct mistakes and make your bathroom comfortable and tidy!
Remodeling a small bathroom. Where to start?
The first thing you need to decide on at this stage is whether to make the bathroom combined or separate.
By removing the partition between the toilet and the bathroom, you can slightly expand the area and save on finishing materials. But, firstly, this will require permission from special authorities; secondly, the partition may contain important communications (water or sewer pipes, ventilation ducts, electrical wiring); and thirdly, for a large family, a shared bathroom will be very inconvenient from a practical point of view.
As for the separate bathroom, the only drawback in this option is that both rooms often turn out to be very tiny and there is simply no room left in the toilet for a separate washbasin. In this case, you can use a compact sink, placing it, for example, in a corner, slightly above the cistern.
You can also add a little extra square footage to your small bathroom by reducing the hallway or corridor.
Bathroom finishes and materials
While taking a bath or shower, everyone can observe how much steam and condensation forms in the air. This means that absolutely all materials for decorating a small bathroom must be waterproof and resistant to temperature changes.
Floor
At first glance, it may seem that the concrete base in the bathroom is enough to be tiled and its repair will be over. But this is far from true - it would not hurt to do some more work under the top decorative layer. Thus, the “warm floor” system will provide a comfortable temperature, and a dense layer of waterproofing will save you from a visit from angry neighbors in the event of a flood.
The ideal structure should look like this: a concrete slab is covered with a bitumen primer, a polymer waterproofing film is glued to it (its edges are raised onto the walls at a height of at least 15 cm, and the seams must be overlapped and firmly fused together), fine-grained quartz sand is poured, heating elements are laid elements, and then ceramic tiles are attached to concrete tile adhesive. It is desirable that it be large and light, but at the same time slightly rough, because it is easy to slip on a wet glossy glaze and get injured.
Walls
To decorate the walls in a small bathroom, you can use ceramic tiles, plastic panels, painting, artificial stone or moisture-resistant wallpaper.
First of all, it is important to properly plaster the surface and apply a high-quality primer. You can also level the surface with aqua panels.
For paints, it is advisable to use non-toxic water-based (acrylic, silicone) and water-dispersion compositions. It is better to avoid traditional oil-based ones - as they take a long time to dry, emit the smell of acetone and quickly crack under the influence of temperature.
Ceiling
The best choice for decorating the ceiling in a small bathroom is a stretch film with a mirror effect. It is absolutely resistant to water vapor (you only need to occasionally wipe it with a sponge) and will serve for at least ten years without losing its original aesthetic appearance. In addition, such a ceiling will help minimize the unpleasant consequences of flooding.
If you need budget repairs, you can stop at painting, but it will have to be renewed every year.
Another good way to finish the ceiling in the bathroom is by covering it with plastic panels (siding). For the frame under them, only a stainless metal profile should be used.
Bath or shower – what to choose?
In a small bathroom, where it is difficult to allocate space for a spacious bath, you should undoubtedly give preference to a shower stall. Moreover, there are models equipped with deep trays with a Jacuzzi, so lovers of romantic baths with candles and rose petals will not be offended.
In addition to significant space savings, the cabin reduces water consumption. Considering rising utility bills, this is a big advantage.
The presence of ventilation above the shower will quickly remove moisture and minimize condensation on the finish outside.
But if you still want to lie in the water at full length, then owners of small bathrooms should pay attention to corner and curved bathtubs.
Arrangement of furniture, appliances and accessories
Thoughtful placement of plumbing fixtures and furniture will make even the tiniest bathroom comfortable as well as practical.
Sink and toilet
To save space, it is advisable to choose not a semicircular washbasin, but a small rectangular or square one, but with high sides. This sink can be mounted into a cabinet.
If possible, the toilet tank should be hidden in the wall, leaving only the flush button outside. If this option is not possible, you can buy a corner or tall narrow tank.
Washing machine
A compact side-loading washing machine can be built into any free niche: under the sink, boiler, in the corner between the bathtub and the wall, or above the toilet. All you have to do is provide an insulated outlet nearby and hide the pipes discreetly.
In order not to spoil expensive plumbing, it is better to drain dirty water directly into the sewer hole.
Cabinets and shelves
To store things in a small bathroom, you should make the most of the vertical space - install high pencil cases, hanging shelves, and towel rails.
For shampoos, gels, foams and other hygiene products, you can equip the sides of the bathtub with shelves-doors on brackets that open at an angle of 45-60 degrees, or you can make narrow horizontal shelves with sliding screens.
Another interesting idea is a retractable shelving unit. You can fold clean towels in it, and they will be well protected from moisture.
Lighting in a small bathroom
In a small bathroom you can get by with one or more light sources, but in no case should it be a hanging chandelier.
It is also worth abandoning conventional incandescent lamps - they get very hot during operation and can burst if splashed with water. LED lamps are best suited to these criteria.
To create a more romantic atmosphere in a small bathroom, you can use neon stripes, spotlights on shelves and niches, as well as luminescent elements on the floor.
Choosing an interior style
In order for the interior to look harmonious, before starting renovations in the bathroom, you need to choose the style that the owners like most. It will promote relaxation and improve your mood every time during water procedures.
Small bathroom in modern style
Clear symmetrical shapes, the absence of unnecessary details, monochrome tones, chrome or glossy coatings will create the impression of conciseness and completeness.
Small bathroom in classic style
Shades of ivory, sparkling porcelain and shimmering gold floral patterns - a royal bathroom for true aristocrats. The abundance of light and shine will perfectly cope with the task of increasing space.
Small bathroom in Provence style
In this decor, French romance is intertwined with rustic freedom and simplicity. Pastel shades are used - lavender, greenish, blue, soft pink. Among the designs allowed are small, dim flowers. Furniture should have a slightly vintage look, such as wear and tear on light paint.
Small bathroom in loft style
A loft is characterized by bare walls, imitation stone or brickwork (preferably grayish-white), high whitewashed ceilings, and lack of decorations. Suitable for free artists, bohemians, as well as those who despise routine and value freedom.
Small bathroom in minimalist style
Space saving and compact shapes are an ideal solution for a small bathroom. Everything you need is hidden in the cabinets, creating an atmosphere of lightness and spaciousness.
Small bathroom in Scandinavian style
The snow-white color with small splashes of gray and black is reminiscent of northern mountain rivers or ice-covered peaks. This environment is wonderfully refreshing and also fills you with energy. Finishing in unobtrusive colors and without any bright details will visually increase the area of the room.
Color solutions for a small bathroom
To ensure the integrity of the interior, to decorate a small bathroom you need to use no more than three colors that are close in saturation. It is advisable to leave dark, contrasting, voluminous things and designs for some spacious halls or outdoor pools.
White bathroom
Gray bathroom
The shimmering shimmer resembles a clear stream running from the peaks between the stones. Surrounded by mirrors and chromed metal, light gray will help relieve stress after a hard day at work and restore vigor in the morning.
Blue bathroom
The shade of sky and water is the most soothing. It makes you breathe deeper and seems to fill the entire space with fresh air. This is the perfect frame for a white bathtub and sink. Breaking up such a magical duet with “spots” of other colors is a real crime; as a last resort, you can add a little silver accents.
Green bathroom
When the leaves reflect in the river, the water appears greenish. In the same palette you can find shades of sea waves, shimmering bluish-turquoise with a golden sheen from the depths. Such a design in a small bathroom will give rest to the eyes and relaxation to the body.
Design of a small bathroom in Khrushchev
In Soviet apartments you can most often see a one-meter toilet and a cramped bathroom, the area of which does not exceed 4 sq.m. But even in such conditions you can be smart.
You should not think that owners of private houses are deprived of all the benefits that apartment owners are provided with. On the contrary, in private houses there is more space and opportunities for implementing ideas. Just remember the nuances when building a bathroom in a private house. These include the selection and installation of communication and ventilation systems. Let's find out what the design of a bathroom in a private home should be.
This design features very well-chosen finishing materials and color schemes.
In a white bathroom you can put a black bathtub and add a little wood to the interior
Ceramic tiles with flower patterns look very beautiful in bathroom design
If you are planning to renovate by adding a bathroom to a private home, you need to take care of the layout. Choose the quantity and appearance of plumbing fixtures and furniture that you are going to install. Private houses are most often built for large families, so it is necessary to decide on the number of bathrooms. If you have a two-story house, it is advisable to install them one below the other.
In the bathroom you can combine large ceramic tiles and mosaic
Before arranging your bathroom, check out these tips from interior design experts:
when installing the sink, make sure that there is 20 centimeters of free space on the sides for comfortable use;
in front of the toilet there is at least 60 centimeters of free space, on the sides - 40 cm;
the sink is installed at a height of approximately 80 cm, the main factor remains the parameter of the people living in the house;
a piece of free space measuring 70 centimeters is required to the sink;
in front of the bathtub (shower stall) a distance of 70 centimeters is established.
These recommendations will help not only save space and make the room comfortable, but will also visually increase the space even in small houses. If you do not maintain distance, even in a large private house the bathroom will look small and uncomfortable.
You can combine completely different colors in the bathroom
A white bathroom with wood elements will be especially beautiful.

Communication of a bathroom in a private house
One of the most important stages is the arrangement of sewerage and water supply systems. If you do not have a centralized water supply, you need to purchase a pumping station, which is installed in a well-heated room. It must be located above the floor level, and to minimize vibration it must be fixed on a level concrete platform.
Sewerage is another issue that cannot be ignored. Recently, accumulative skeptic has become popular, which is an environmentally friendly option, while its cost is low. The owner of the house can lay sewer pipes without the help of specialists.
Another important element is the ventilation system, which removes moist air from the room. If you do not install this system, a favorable area for mold formation will be created.
Wood can be used in the bathroom

Finishing work
Finishing is an important component of comfort in any room, especially in the bathroom, due to temperature changes and high humidity. In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the resistance of materials to household chemicals and the ease of washing of materials. You should not choose cheap and low-quality options; due to the nature of the bathroom, they will not last long and you will have to spend money again. Private houses have a huge advantage over apartments - bathrooms are usually much more spacious, which allows you to experiment with design.

How to decorate walls?
Ceramic tiles are often used to decorate walls. A huge number of different shapes and sizes enable the owner to decorate the rooms, embodying the most unusual ideas. The best solution for wall decoration is tiles: small options can significantly expand the space, large ones are used for spacious bathrooms.
Decorating a wall brings incredible pleasure: you can lay out a mosaic, creating an incredible picture, combine materials of different sizes and colors, creating a unique style. An excellent solution for spacious bathrooms would be wood trim. The wood looks incredibly beautiful and is additionally varnished, which ensures high moisture resistance.

Finishing materials for the ceiling
Manufacturers have made sure that owners of private houses have a wide choice in ceiling finishing. There are an incredible variety of options; the most common and versatile is a suspended ceiling. Its advantages over other options: it can withstand both low and high temperatures, it is moisture resistant and easy to clean. Buyers have an unlimited choice; every year more and more types of suspended ceilings appear on sale, depending on the style of the bathroom and its size.
In such a bathroom you will get double pleasure

Floor
When choosing finishing materials for your bathroom floor, pay attention to the level of moisture resistance. The best solution is ceramic tiles, which are much thicker than wall tiles and have a smooth surface. It is necessary to choose models that can withstand high loads, while also having anti-slip properties. Marble floors look beautiful, but they require a spacious bathroom.
What style should you decorate the room in?
It is necessary to determine the style long before the construction stage. The table of design options will help you with this.
You must choose a style solely based on your desires and preferences. You are encouraged to mix elements from different styles to create a unique design.

Should you use wallpaper in the bathroom?
Most people are afraid to use wallpaper in the bathroom, which is explained by the main disadvantage - the paper base quickly absorbs water vapor. Over time, the material begins to swell, which leads to the wallpaper peeling off. Due to temperature changes, the glue begins to lose its properties, so many are afraid to glue wallpaper in the bathroom.
It is worth paying attention to the advantages that outweigh the disadvantages:
finishing with wallpaper will cost much less than using tiles;
unlike finishing with plastic panels, you can hang wallpaper yourself without involving specialists;
the material is easy to update if it starts to come off, and a complete design update will take a minimum of time and effort.
The main difference between all materials available on the market is the technology used for production. It is better to use paper options for the living room or bedroom, but they are not suitable for the bathroom, because there is too much moisture. Washable wallpapers, which are easy to clean from dirt, are gaining popularity, and the protective coating increases their service life, protecting them from delamination due to high humidity.

The following types of wallpaper are distinguished.
Liquid wallpaper is only conventionally called wallpaper, because it is a mixture that must be diluted with water and, after priming, applied to the wall. Advantages: easy application, no wall leveling required, easy to repair damage. Remember that before application it is necessary to treat the walls with a white primer, and such wallpaper must dry for at least two days.
The non-woven type is made on a base that is similar to paper, and it is made from natural mixtures. These wallpapers are easy to glue, you can choose any color, and they are environmentally friendly (especially important if there are children in the house). It is easy to find plain and non-woven wallpaper on sale.
Glass wallpaper is a relatively new option on the Russian market. They are made from fiberglass. Compared with other options, glass wallpaper is highly durable, environmentally friendly, and dirt can be washed off using detergents. This explains their popularity in bathroom design uses.
Wallpaper is indeed one of the cheapest finishing options, but not always. The latter option requires huge costs for the process of wallpapering: first you need to level the walls, buy wallpaper, the prices of which have been rising lately, and buy a lot of paint, because you need to paint with a thick layer of paint.

Choosing decor for the bathroom interior
Decor is everyone's choice; there are no rules here. Some people love minimalism, others love the pomp of the Baroque style. Some people prefer classic decor, while others are delighted with a non-standard combination of styles. It's easy to find hundreds of bathroom decor ideas and photos, all of which will be unique and special in their own way. But there are some decorative items that are definitely worth using in your bathroom design.
The interior can be made rich by playing with contrast. For example, use lamps and mirrors in a different style from the walls. You will immediately notice how bright the room looks. If there is enough space, it is worth purchasing a massive stone countertop, on which bottles of perfume and shampoo will look original. It is worth using flowers, because they bring freshness and make any room cozy. You can purchase artificial bouquets, but the best option is live plants. A large vase of fresh flowers can be placed on the floor.
It is definitely much more interesting to create a bathroom in a private house. It requires additional time and money, but the scope for creativity is greater compared to an apartment. Use all the tips and create a unique bathroom interior design in a private home.
The design of a bathroom, regardless of its size and shape, gravitates towards laconic and balanced design solutions. A beautiful, functional, well-thought-out design is simply bound to charm and delight. After all, it is from this room that our day begins and ends, it is here that we take care of our beauty, forget about unresolved problems, and receive a certain feeling of joy and pleasure. Therefore, it is very important to arrange a harmonious and functional bathroom space, taking into account not only modern design trends, but also your own preferences.
Selection of color palette
Proper color design of a space creates a visual perception of its expansion or, conversely, reduction. Wall shades and splashes of color create a certain psychological mood and directly affect our emotional state and mental comfort.
There are several dominant ones that experts recommend following when designing a bathroom.
White
Everyone knows that achromatic is a win-win option in small spaces. It enhances the perception of airiness and increased volume, achieved with the help of ceiling lamps and highlighting individual design elements.
When choosing white as the dominant color for all bathroom surfaces, it is necessary to provide bright spots of color in the design of accessories. This will avoid the negative impact of a monotonous space, which does not have the best effect on human energy.

Violet
Extravagant and energetic, very powerful and influential, purple color for the bathroom is chosen by people who are leaders in their inner feelings. Therefore, it is important to analyze how comfortable all family members will feel in the updated space.
The first thing you need to do when you start decorating the interior of the bathroom is to correctly calculate the saturation of shades. It is not recommended to add a lot of dark color into a limited volume. It is advisable to focus on a noble lilac tone, which promotes relaxation and peace of mind.
To add dynamics, you can alternate wall tiles with varying degrees of purple tone saturation. At the same time, it is taken into account that this range requires addition with another less active color. The most harmonious is the white tone. Combines with purple, gray, green, and golden colors.
Purple color is an excellent background for white sanitary ware, from the bathtub to the sink
Black and white
The combination of two achromatic colors, black and white, is a classic and virtually win-win option in bathrooms with a relatively large area.
Usually the floor and some elements of furniture and accessories are decorated in black. This avoids some heaviness. The white solution of the upper surfaces and walls gives the room more light and visually increases its volume, so you should not skimp on its presence in the interior.
You can choose interesting, elegant, intertwined black patterns on a white tile background. A varied combination of these colors on the floor adds dynamics. Active red color in small quantities enhances the overall impression and emphasizes the noble depth of achromatic tones.
Brown
Solid brown color for the bathroom interior is chosen by calm and confident people. With the right selection of contrast, it is possible to create a cozy, luxurious environment where cleanliness and order reign.
Green
The positive color of freshness, which is green, is associated with nature and spring. It simultaneously calms and fills with energy, creates an atmosphere of calm and gives a feeling of peace.
By shaping your future design in these shades, you are guaranteed to get an original and truly interesting bathroom interior.
For small rooms, experts do not recommend using too rich shades. The best choice is a light palette that harmonizes the space, making it balanced and welcoming. As additional ones, you can take almost any shade, but in small quantities. Successfully enhance the tonic energy of green: orange, white, yellow and beige accessories.

Blue
Relaxing blue has always been one of the popular colors when creating bathroom designs. It does not stand out with expression, so sometimes it requires the addition of a contrasting texture. This can be a framing border, vertical or horizontal, a small fragment on the surface - floral, geometric, etc.
If by nature you are an introverted and irritable person, you should not choose dark varieties of blue for yourself, choose a calmer option. The ceiling can be made white, which will neutralize some of the sad note inherent in a large amount of blue.
As for the flooring, it is best to give preference to tiles made in light colors. It should be approached with due attention, since a lot will depend on its quality.
Style solutions
You can give even a modest miniature bathroom a feeling of sophistication and prestige by designing its space in a certain style direction.
Provence. Gravitating towards nature, the Provence style presupposes the presence of light walls, white under the floor. Select bedside tables with bright floral patterns. Towels with embroidery, wicker soap dishes, and forged fasteners for shelves would be appropriate. Wooden carved elements fit well.
Classic. You can add a touch of classic style to your bathroom design by selecting tiles that imitate natural objects - stone, wood. The calm beige tone of the walls, doors, cabinets, and shelves finished in noble red wood creates an atmosphere of aristocracy.
Time has no power over the classic style; it is always in demand and popular. Elegance and purity are his main strong point.
Eastern style. The mysterious oriental notes that appear in the design of the bathroom look fresh and picturesque. It is enough to choose tiles for the wall and floor with a sophisticated, bright pattern, and the space will be completely transformed. Adds the inherent luxury of oriental interiors with color - gold, red, lilac.
The style of oriental interior has its own peculiarity. In it, it is very important to maintain harmony and not overload the space with small details. One of the shades should be dominant, and the rest are designed to create an overall harmonious atmosphere.
Silver, gilding, gloss - all this emphasizes and makes the oriental interior special
Japanese style. For small spaces, laconic and elegant is one of the most suitable. When creating it, it is important to avoid crude imitation. Surfaces are made monochromatic in a combination of two, less often three shades. For example, black floors, brown furniture, gray walls and ceiling. Or white walls with red panels and black plumbing.
In a Japanese interior, a combination of lilac and pink, red and yellow is welcome. Drawings on panels and plumbing fixtures can be in the form of hieroglyphs or elegant plant motifs.
The Japanese style of interior design is naturalness and simplicity, therefore decorative elements - rugs, wall fans are made from natural materials.
Every detail of the Japanese interior adheres to the main principle of the oriental style - simplicity and convenience.
Loft style. For brave people who gravitate toward making non-standard decisions and who have fairly spacious bathrooms, they will like the modern, free loft style. It is characterized by a rough finish on one of the walls - like stone or stone. The remaining surfaces are made plain.
Complete freedom is allowed in the installation of plumbing fixtures and furniture. If space allows, the bath can be raised onto a podium or placed in the center of the room. There should not be many bright spots, for example, a red sink next to a white bathroom and cream walls.
Hi-tech. Avoiding pomp and showiness, the modest style is ideal for small spaces. The walls are usually made monochromatic, while rich and bright shades are allowed.
A characteristic feature of this style is the absence of decorative pretentious elements. Preference is given to simple, clear lines of furniture and plumbing fixtures with metal, plastic, and glass surfaces.
A floor with imitation marble in combination with mosaic tiles in the sink area fits perfectly into the design of a high-tech bathroom.
The most common colors that predominate in high-tech style are white, gray and black.
Minimalism. A strict and orderly style with clear lines and the absence of flashy decor is appreciated by calm, accomplished people. Surfaces are designed in plain pastel or achromatic shades.
In the interior design of a minimalist bathroom, there are usually two colors. Most often you can find a combination of white with gray, blue with turquoise, milky with light chestnut. The union of these shades will give the interior calm, harmony and balance. All accessories and fittings should, if possible, be hidden behind the fronts of wall cabinets.
Furniture
The main criterion for selecting bathroom furniture is its high moisture resistance. Due to the small area, it is convenient to place a wall cabinet on one of the walls, where there will be various hygiene items, household cleaning products and detergents. The most advantageous option is cabinets with mirrored doors and lighting.
A cabinet with sliding or hinged doors is most often installed under the sink. It conveniently accommodates a laundry basket. If preference was given to an open sink on an elegant leg, then a basket is selected without transparent facades. It must be equipped with a lid. Exterior decor should fit into the interior style.
Mirrors are placed separately on the walls and even under the ceiling, if when developing a design project for the future design of the bathroom, a decision is made to use them as decorative elements designed to visually expand the space.
Lighting
When developing the design of the future bathroom interior, it is important to remember that a ceiling chandelier is rarely present in these rooms. Such a piece of furniture requires a fairly large area. More often, one corner lighting fixture is installed on the ceiling, covered with a lampshade.
Among the modern solutions, ceiling spotlights with the required level of waterproofing are gaining popularity. Wall sconces serve as a tool for zoning even a small space. They are placed above the mirror, next to the shelves.
Any lighting fixtures in wet conditions such as those found in a bathroom should be installed by professional electricians. The minimum distance from any lamp to a bathtub or sink is 0.6 meters.
Combined bathroom
In an effort to expand the space, some people decide to remodel by removing the partition between the toilet and the bathroom. It must be taken into account that the wall cannot be dismantled without coordinating the alteration project with BTI specialists.
Having completed all the preliminary steps, they begin to create a design in the expanded room.
- It is advisable to make the ceiling in a classic white color. Installation of moisture-resistant tensile structures is allowed. The most suitable material for conditions with high humidity is polyvinyl chloride. It is not susceptible to mold growth, is easy to clean, and, if necessary, will protect against leakage from above.
- The walls are most often laid with ceramic tiles. Thanks to the expanded space, you can turn to interesting collections that combine both plain and textured types of tiles. They form a harmonious composition and do not require additional effort in choosing colors. There can be many options. An interesting dynamic is created if three walls are plain, and the third is filled with tiles with geometric or floral patterns.
You can decorate the lower part of the walls with a pattern, and make the top monochrome, using tiles with patterns as a decorative border. It can also serve to zone space, highlighting, for example, an area near the sink.
Mosaics are increasingly being used in bathroom interiors. Such decorative finishing should not be dominant, since it actively attracts attention. With its help, you can frame a mirror or decorate the walls around the shelves, visually highlighting this area.
Tile or porcelain tiles remain the most popular types of floor finishes. Darker colors are often chosen than on other surfaces, which avoids excessive contrast in the room.
Recently, polymer ones have appeared in combined sanitary rooms, creating a feeling of depth if a decorative pattern is placed under the transparent surface.
Regardless of the size of the room, it is important to place plumbing fixtures, furniture, and accessories in such a way that there is no feeling of chaos. There are several techniques that work for the harmonious organization of combined space:
- Mount a wall-mounted compact toilet;
- To store the necessary cleaning, washing, and hygiene products, use a wall cabinet with mirrored facades;
- Install a washbasin combined with a cabinet in which the washing machine is placed;
- A corner shower stall with a sliding door is selected.
A universal solution that makes the design unique and the space endless is a volumetric panel equipped with LED lighting from the inside. The drawing is selected in accordance with the general theme of the design being created. Modern trends gravitate towards abstraction, which allows, if necessary, to introduce a bright modern sound into a monotonous interior.

Bathrooms (in cottages) - Interior design of bathrooms - in cottages
If your bathroom is modest in size, do not be discouraged: there are at least several technical options to expand its space. Firstly, by actually increasing the bathroom space through redevelopment. This method gives a significant increase in square meters by combining, for example, a bathroom with a storage room or - the most popular move - a bathroom with a toilet.

A less radical than redevelopment, but nevertheless an effective and successful way is to expand the space due to the optical effect created by light colors. It is light and cold shades that help visually expand the space of a small bathroom; the main thing is to choose them correctly. Making a few bright accents is not at all forbidden, but you should avoid using contrasting colors, especially on one wall. The same rule must be followed when choosing furniture - it should visually merge with the walls and match the tone of the ceramic tiles. Modern small bathrooms design photos:
In addition to color, other qualities of objects will also come to the rescue - for example, the ability to reflect. In addition to the traditional mirror above the sink, you can choose cabinets with mirrored doors, and use decorative elements with a mirror effect on the tiled floor. A good option for a small bathroom would be to choose a stretch ceiling with a glossy surface - it will reflect light and expand the space, and will also save you from the consequences of flooding.
Design of a small bathroom without a toilet photo, if technical capabilities allow, then instead of one of the walls you can put frosted or stained glass, which, allowing light to pass through, will undoubtedly become the highlight of the interior. We should not forget about the benefits of bright lighting; it is better if there are several light sources and the light is saturated. Small bathroom in Khrushchev design photo:
Interior design for a small bathroom
One of the main secrets is the rational use of the entire space of a small bathroom. This mainly means that you cannot afford anything extra. Leave the sink, cabinet, heated towel rail, shower and possibly washing machine. If possible, it is better to hide all pipes and communications in niches or walls, select furniture of small sizes and with rounded edges, and remember the advantages of a corner location.
Decorating a small bathroom with tiles photo design. Rational space planning, good layout, compact equipment, light, mirror, transparent materials are the key to success in the design of your small bathroom. Modern small bathrooms design photos:
