If on the territory of a private house you want to create some kind of cozy recreation area where you can spend time with friends, then the majority chooses the classic, time-tested option - building a bath. It is here that a person can relax, feel relaxed, chat with friends. In addition, a bath is a place for hygiene procedures, an opportunity to relieve oneself of a psychological and moral burden. Rest in the bath will improve sleep, normalize blood pressure and remove toxins, which the bathroom or jacuzzi are not capable of doing.
Bath interior: design choice
When designing a bath complex, it must be remembered that it should include several rooms. In general, their number directly depends on the interior design and financial capabilities of the homeowner.
In the classic version, the bath includes three rooms, namely: a dressing room (dressing room), a shower or washing room and a steam room. In some cases, for example, a Russian bath, a steam room and a washing room are combined into a single space.
In order to increase the functionality and level of comfort, you can use other rooms, including: a swimming pool, a recreation room, a game room (a set-top box or a billiards table), a toilet, a kitchen or a smoking room. All of them are designed for convenience, have their own functional load, but only the owner of the territory and his wallet decide whether to use them.
However, despite all the options and frills, the most popular is the classic Russian bath, which combines practicality, conciseness and restraint. For interior design, it is necessary to use wooden benches and couches, a large oak table and various antique decor items. Of the modern items, only Russian billiards and a plasma TV can be used.
When decorating the interior of an “antique” bathhouse in the relaxation room, it is advisable to place items with embroidery elements, forged parts (candlesticks, etc.), as well as hand-carved wooden items. Oak or birch brooms, bunches of fragrant herbs are used for wall decor.
When decorating a bath inside with your own hands, they often use such an option as a bath-house. In this case, the building can be used as a guest house, while the rest room is equipped with a bed and converted into a bedroom. Thanks to this, guests will feel comfortable and free, and the owner of the house will not be disturbed, creating discomfort from their presence. It is best to use not a bed, but a folding sofa, as this will increase the functionality of the space.
The choice of materials for interior decoration of the bath
When choosing building materials, it is important that they meet the following requirements:
- Resistant to high temperatures and their sudden changes.
- Moisture resistance.
- Safety - a person should not have an allergic reaction or burns when in contact with the material.
- Environmental safety - the absence of toxic substances.
- Hygiene - the material should be easy to maintain and clean.
- Long service life.
- High strength and reliability.
- Attractive appearance.
Finishing the steam room
The best material for lining the steam room is wood, while it is better to give preference to hardwoods. The thing is that these types of wood do not heat up, you will not burn yourself about them, there is no resin release, and when aired, the material dries quickly, due to which the formation of fungus is impossible.
Types of wood for finishing the steam room:
- Aspen is a classic option for the northern regions of Russia, since the material has a low cost, it is difficult to split it due to its high strength, in addition, wood has bactericidal properties.
- Linden is an externally attractive material with a stable color and low heat capacity. Due to this, the tree quickly gains temperature and is safe to touch. Linden also creates a pleasant atmosphere due to its special aroma and has a low price.
- Abash is a material that is only becoming popular, since it is the wood of the African tropics and we still do not know enough about it. It is best to make shelves from abacha that are resistant to steam, high temperatures, since they hardly heat up.
- Alder is an attractive externally and tactile wood material that is resistant to steam room conditions. Easy to maintain and clean, has a low cost.
It must be remembered that the tree should never be painted or varnished, as under the influence of high temperatures the coating will release harmful chemicals and odors. When finishing, nails and screws must be carefully hidden, as they heat up and can cause burns. Also, experts recommend filling the lining vertically, because the water drains much faster.
Waterproof skirting boards will help protect the joint between the walls and the floor. For finishing the floor, it is best to use larch or tile - the latter option is more preferable, as it is resistant to fungus and easy to clean. If the tile seemed cold, a wooden grate is laid on it, which is easy to remove if necessary.
Finishing the dressing room and sink
It is better not to use wood for facing the sink, preference is given to tiles, since there is constant contact with water in the shower. Tiles do not rot, are easy to care for, and for an attractive appearance, you can choose special stylish tiles with imitation of natural wood.
As for the dressing room, this is a warm and cozy place, but there are no high temperatures here, so it is allowed to use coniferous wood with a pleasant and healthy aroma.
Among the popular types of wood for finishing the dressing room are:
- Pine is an attractive and durable material that has a long service life and is the most popular. During use, the wood may change color, becoming a little redder. Also popular is the Scandinavian pine, which has a pink hue and annual rings that create a decorative pattern on the walls.
- Spruce is a homogeneous structure; when dried, it remains intact and does not crack. The color scheme is slightly lighter than pine.
- Fir is a tree that, in its properties, is similar to spruce, but at the same time it practically does not emit resin.
For a modern person, a bath is a place of rest, communication with friends, relaxation, and only then, although this is no less important, a place for hygiene procedures. Bath is a great way of psychological relief, it improves sleep, normalizes blood pressure, removes toxins. Neither shower combinations nor jacuzzi and other plumbing delights with all the technical progress are unable to shake the wide popularity of the bath.
Bath interior design options
The classic version of the bath is only three rooms: a dressing room (dressing room), a shower room (washing room) and a steam room, although in a traditional Russian bath, a washing room and a steam room can be combined. Everything else - a swimming pool (font), a relaxation room, toilet, game rooms (billiards), a smoking room, a kitchen - this is a matter of personal preferences and financial capabilities of the owners. The interior of a modern bath is a flight of the designer's imagination, adjusted for the specifics and features of the bath.
But still, the decoration in the traditional Russian style remains the most in demand - laconic, restrained, without pomposity, even a little puritanical, antique utensils, a massive table, couches and benches. Add a little modernity television or billiards.
Making out the bath "antique", in the dressing room (rest room) you can make accents on embroidery, forged elements, decorate wooden household items and utensils with carvings, decorate the walls with various brooms - birch, oak, bunches of fragrant herbs.
When finishing the bath with your own hands, you can consider such an option as bath-house. More precisely, the use of a bathhouse as a guest house, when the rest room (dressing room) turns into a bedroom. At the same time, guests receive their own, albeit temporary, living space, without embarrassing the hosts and feeling at the same time more relaxed and comfortable. And the owners do not have to sacrifice their own habits and comfortable accommodation. To do this, it is necessary to provide for the installation of a sofa, which can be transformed into a full-fledged sleeping place.
Finishing the bath inside: we select materials
For interior decoration, materials must meet the following conditions:
- resistance to temperature changes, immunity to high temperatures, high humidity and water ingress
- safety - do not cause allergies and burns when in contact with human skin, no toxins released from materials during heat
- hygiene - the material should be easy to wash without reacting with household chemicals
- durability and strength
- aesthetics and decorativeness, the finish should be non-irritating, pleasing to the eye.
In this regard, almost ideal (especially for a Russian bath) is a tree that meets all the specified requirements, is absolutely environmentally friendly, plus it has the properties of aromatherapy. The main thing is to choose the right type of wood for each room.
steam room
Only hardwood is suitable for finishing the steam room. Such wood does not heat up (you cannot get burned), does not emit resins, and also, which is very important, even with a little ventilation it dries quickly, preventing the fungus from developing:
- linden is attractive in appearance, does not darken over time, it is characterized by low heat capacity and density: it warms up quickly, but you can’t burn yourself when touched. When heated, it gives off an unobtrusive, gentle, pleasant aroma. It is quite common, therefore it has an affordable price, especially in the southern regions.
- aspen is a traditional material for a steam room in the northern regions. Durable wood, difficult to split or split, has bactericidal properties
- alder - aesthetically attractive, pleasant to the touch, resistant to hot and cold water, steam and condensate, washing solutions (acidic, alkaline), easy to process
- abash - is just beginning to gain popularity, the tree comes from the African tropics. Such wood is especially good for making shelves - even in very high heat, it practically does not heat up, keeping the temperature close to the temperature of the human body. Does not darken under the influence of steam, water and temperatures
The tree cannot be painted or varnished, no matter how high-quality they are - when heated, they will give an unpleasant chemical smell. During installation, self-tapping screws (nails) must be deeply recessed and closed from above - otherwise, when heated, they can cause burns. The lining should be filled vertically - the drops of water formed during condensation will drain faster. To protect the joint gender and walls install high plinths made of waterproof material.
Wood, as a material, is beautiful in itself, which makes it number one on the list for finishing the steam room.
“To wash in the bath is to be born again,” they said in the old days. However, a good stove, shelves made of odorous wood and the opportunity to take a dip in cold water are not all. The interior design of the steam room is of no small importance for comfort. With a little effort and letting your imagination run wild, you will create a bright and cozy sauna interior!
How to decorate a steam room with wood and pebbles
Linden lining is perhaps the most popular material for interior decoration of rooms with high temperatures. Pleasant for the body, fragrant, with a healing effect - perhaps better, perhaps, lining with embossing, which imitates various types of decorative coatings: snakeskin pattern, bamboo, etc.
Eco-style steam room design - walls and ceiling lined with boards, and benches - in a "kit" for them. An interesting idea for this style of bath is a wall-mounted firewood rack indoors. Firewood for the stove is stacked in the form of a panel.
Decorate the room and the wall, lined with pebbles. She can also finish the floor in the sink. And if you don’t skimp, then the design for a bath or hammam can be decorated with a floor made of coins.
If you want to save space, a raised decorated floor will help: if you want to take a shower, you lower it, if you decide to swim, you raise it.
Bath design
A feeling of freshness will be created by the design of the sink in a beautiful natural style. Wildlife has a powerful calming effect. Therefore, in one case, the designers used large logs with raw granite, in the other, they lined the wall with stone and tiles from the inside.
In the premises of the bath, design elements such as waterfalls from the walls will be appropriate. You can decorate them with large shells instead of traditional mixers.
Fans of minimalism and the new life of old things in the design of the bath will love the shower from a large garden watering can.
If there is no place for a pool, then you can cool off after the steam room in the font. Fortunately, it is easy to make it with your own hands - from an ordinary barrel.
A washstand from a simple barrel will help to “hold the style”
And comfortable furniture from them - in the dressing room.
The floor may be original. A cork cover with a straw pattern is more suitable for a country-style bath interior. In addition to such a floor, you should take a bale of straw as a coffee table (the idea of the program "Fazenda"). Another interesting solution for the floor is a pattern of boards and refractory bricks.
For an unusual bath - the same doors made of natural materials - wooden, in the style of a village house. But such porthole windows will tell you how to use spare parts from an old washing machine.
Lighting and accessories
The best lamp for the interior inside the bath - handmade. A chandelier in the form of a stork's nest, redundant in the house, looks unusual and original. Materials: a frame for a bouquet braided with decorative raffia straw using wire. Natural horns, designed to look like a lamp, are also a suitable option for a natural style.
If you prefer something more modern, you need to choose such lamps hidden under the “torn off” planks of interior decoration. An old basin as a chandelier in the shower is another innovative solution.
We create a romantic mood by using candles. But baths require a special design. A basin or trough and ladles will do again.
In general, a basin in the bath is a universal item. It is worth making such “shelves” for storing bath brooms, towels and other bath accessories. There is also a use for wooden pallets in the steam room - this is a good solution for the main house.
Wicker baskets are also great for decorating a bath: large ones usually go on the floor as tables, small ones - on the wall.
From "warm" natural materials, you can make a variety of decor that will be appropriate in the bath and sauna: boxes woven from grass, reeds, rattan, ferns, corn, bast shoes and other items that are hung on the walls and placed on benches.
The best hanger for bathrobes will be products from branches or small stones as hooks.
Bath: interior in Russian style
The interior of a Russian-style steam room will look complete if you complement it with decorative accessories. The room can be decorated with bath brooms, embroidered curtains, wood products - figurines, spoons, mirrors, clocks made of wood saw cuts, which are not afraid of moisture and will help allocate enough time for important procedures.
Tapestries from medicinal herbs, moss and roots will quickly decorate the walls, look great and fill the room with aromas. They can be woven using a hand weaving device - a reed.
In addition to their aesthetic value, herbal rugs and tapestries also have an important healing function. A willow bark bath rug not only decorates, but also helps against skin diseases and sweating of the feet, relieves inflammation. Tansy towel as a compress in the bath is the main folk remedy for joint pain. Applied to the head, it relieves pain and helps get rid of dandruff. Nettle cloths increase vitality. Tapestries from several types of herbs (wormwood, peppermint, yarrow, St.
How to arrange a bath
Herbal products woven on the reed are strong and durable. The only condition is that they should not be exposed to direct sunlight. The natural fragrance of tapestries can be enhanced by sprinkling them with water. For the same purpose, they are hung in a steam room.
Useful decoration for baths and saunas - decorative designer jars with sea salt and colored sand. If you look closely, you can see the pattern of mountains, sky and deserted beaches in them. And when you admire such decor, it can be used as a scrub.
The more shades of salt and sand you have, the more interesting the "landscapes" will look. From coarse salt and sand, pictures in jars turn out worse.
Bath ideas
They will make the interior of a bath or sauna more soulful and gizmos: a portrait doll on a wire frame, brownies that protect the owners, funny hats in which it is so pleasant to bathe.
Toys made of bast or straw are suitable for decorating a bathhouse. We offer to make a symbol of the coming year - a goat. And let it give you a new portion of good luck, health and a lot of happiness with each visit to the steam room! Easy steam for you!

After the construction of the bath comes the turn of finishing work. Interior cladding performs an aesthetic function, and is also used as a protection for wall, ceiling and floor surfaces. The use of furniture in this room will give the interior its own style and a certain completeness. Finishing the bath inside, the photo of which can be viewed on the site, can be done by hand. To do this, you will need to prepare certain materials and familiarize yourself with the technology of installation work.
It is important to choose high-quality materials before finishing the bath inside. Photo interiors allows you to choose the appropriate option.
Materials should have the following advantages:
- resistance to moisture and vapors;
- hygiene and environmental friendliness;
- durability and strength;
- aesthetic qualities.
The lining inside cannot be varnished or painted, as such coatings will not let steam through. There should be a space of 20-30 mm between the facing material and the log house. In some cases, ceramics can be used. Such material does not absorb moisture and does not crack. Since such a floor covering is cold, it is possible to lay wood flooring on top.
Useful advice! It is better to use lining made of linden. Pine or spruce is not suitable for this room.
How to insulate and insulate walls?
It will allow you to see the features of the bath decoration inside the photo. The steam room must first be insulated. In some cases, mineral wool is used, which is laid on the crate. If the bath is built of stone or concrete, then you can do without. It is important to perform the correct waterproofing of the structure. Aluminum foil or even vapor barrier film is best suited for such purposes.
Wall insulation is carried out taking into account certain recommendations:
- when cutting the insulation, allowances of 5 mm should be left. This will ensure high-quality fixation of the material;
- when installing a vapor barrier material, it is necessary to maintain the integrity of the membrane and mount it with an overlap. In this case, the joints are fastened with a mounting tape;
- when working in small rooms, heat-insulating plates can be used, which are convenient to install even for one person.
If it is made of brick, then the thickness of the insulation can be about 10 cm. If the wall is made of timber more than 20 cm, then they can not be insulated. After finishing, you need original decor items.
Particular attention deserves the decoration of the rest room of the bath inside. Photos of interesting solutions can be found on the Internet.
Knowing some of the subtleties of installation will help to carry out high-quality finishing work:
- in the steam room, it is necessary to raise the floor level by 16-25 cm above the washing room. This will prevent excess moisture from entering the steam room;
- you should prefer edged board or tongue and groove. Both options must be moisture resistant;
- before cladding, all necessary communications must be carried out;
- when installing benches and shelves, it is worth making sure that their edges are rounded;
- there are no gaps between the boards.
Natural wood is used for interior decoration. Walls can be sheathed with clapboard, especially from cedar. The original interior can be created using a block house. These are processed boards that imitate real timber.
Windows and doors should be small to reduce heat loss. Doors must be strong and thick. For interior cladding, boards without knots are selected.
You can make a beautiful finish in the bath with your own hands. If you choose high-quality material and follow all installation technologies, you can create a functional and original cladding.

Choosing a bathroom design
The bath today is not a modest dressing room and a steam room, but quite a spacious room with a relaxation room, a steam room and a shower room. If there is a place for a font - great. Some do not stop there and build two-story baths with a bedroom on the second floor - the room can be used as a guest house.

When choosing a bath design, preference should be given to a single style - this way the rooms will look organic and holistic. In addition to an attractive appearance, the interior of the bath should be safe and comfortable. Traditionally, the inside of the bathhouse is sheathed with natural wood - clapboard. At the same time, those rocks are chosen that, when heated, do not emit resin and do not overheat. The surface of the finishing material on the floor and the wall should not be slippery.

The functionality of the premises depends on the well-organized storage of bath paraphernalia and hygiene products, which also create a special atmosphere in the interior of the bath. Brooms, hats, slippers, soap, aromatherapy oils and other things should be at hand, and at the same time not create chaos.

Proper lighting plays an important role. In the steam room, dim, muffled light is chosen - this allows you to create a relaxing atmosphere. You can use built-in spotlights on a false ceiling or LED lighting. The light spectrum should be a soft yellow. It should be noted that special requirements are imposed on the lamps in the bath - the ceiling lamps must be made of heat-resistant and moisture-resistant material. In the rest room, sconce lamps can be placed on the walls.

Styles and photos of the best solutions
The design of the bath should not be bright and pretentious, the emphasis is on a calm and even peaceful atmosphere. First of all, to create comfort, the psychological aspect is taken into account: the steam room, and the bathhouse in general, does not have a large area, therefore it can have an emotionally overwhelming effect. To prevent this from happening, the design of the premises should be as simple and neutral as possible.

A little brightness to the interior of a modern bath can be given with the help of well-organized lighting and functional decor:
- Hours.
- Thermometer on the wall.
- Pictures.
- Mirrors.
- Venikov.
- Buckets and scoops.
- Textile.
The design of saunas and baths is different from the design of residential premises. It doesn’t matter what design style is chosen, the main thing is to ensure functionality and safety. Excessive decor and furnishings are useless here.

Here are some design options:
- Traditional Russian style involves the use of natural wood finishes. The steam room is equipped with a stove, and carved decor and colorful rugs on the floor are used in the dressing room. In the rest room, the table will be decorated with a tablecloth and a samovar, wicker baskets and boxes. The furniture is the simplest - a table and benches with embroidered rugs. It is important that the color of wooden furniture, walls and floor do not match.

- Chalet style is more restrained. If country and Russian style allow carved decor, then here the emphasis is on the feminine or masculine energy of the interior. In the first case, edged weapons on the walls, guns, a trophy, and forged decor are used as decor for the rest room, as if hinting that this bathhouse belongs to a hunter. If the hostess is a woman, then the interior is decorated with paintings depicting landscapes, a ceramic tea set, embroidered tablecloths and napkins, wreaths of fragrant herbs and bouquets of dried flowers.
- Bath in a modern style looks simple and elegant. Wood for its finishing should have a smooth surface without an emphasis on the natural pattern. The equipment is modern. In the shower you can install a multifunctional booth. Decorative emphasis is placed on lighting and backlighting. A minimum of decor and a maximum of functionality is the motto of the modern design style.

The dressing room in the bath is the same as the hallway in the house. The room should have a pleasant pastime from the threshold and charge with a positive mood. Often it is combined with a rest room. As in other areas of the bath, there is high humidity, so the room should be warm and comfortable. It depends on the right finishing material.

Wood should heat up quickly and release heat slowly. When lining the walls with clapboard (and conifers can also be used in the dressing room), you can inhale an amazing and incomparable woody aroma. It not only disinfects indoor air, but also has a beneficial effect on human health.

Wooden paneling will be appropriate not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling. With the help of lining, you can arrange a suspended or false ceiling. The advantage of the material is the ability to install built-in lighting.
If there is a desire to finish in the Russian style, then you can use decorative panels that imitate a rounded log. The block house creates an original relief on the surface of the wall and the feeling of a real wooden frame.

To finish the walls in the dressing room, you can use other types of wood paneling - imitation of timber or planken. With their help, you can create a more modern look of the room. And in order for the finish to last as long as possible, it is covered with special protective compounds - oil, wax.

The floor in the dressing room, as in other rooms of the bath, should not slip. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe wardrobe (hangers) a rug will be appropriate. Equip a dressing area with a spacious coat rack, a bench and a mirror.

The lining is the most popular for wall and ceiling cladding. The material of the class "Extra" and "Premium" is suitable - such lamellas are distinguished by clear geometric parameters, proper drying, no defects and a smooth surface.

Note! The wood used in the steam room is not subjected to additional processing, otherwise it will lose its healing properties and natural aroma.
Ceramic tiles are also used in the bath. This material looks cold, so it is best suited for decorating a small shower space. You can choose warm shades or imitation wood. You can make the room elegant with the help of mosaics in the shower and pool area. To make the floor near the pool non-slip, it can be made from natural decking - boards with a special anti-slip effect on the front surface.

Furniture in the steam room is a separate topic for conversation. It should be made of quality material - the tree should calmly endure repeated wetting and drying without losing shape stability. The seat of the shelves should not overheat - their surface should always be comfortable for the skin. Abash wood has proven itself for these purposes.
