How to equip a small bathroom

Big bathroom for owners of small-sized apartments it will always remain a dream, but this is not a reason to be upset, because even in a small room you can create comfortable conditions both for a charge of morning vivacity and for evening relaxation. Of course, such a drawback as a small area, even the most skilled designers, is difficult to turn into a virtue, but a few tricks when arranging a small bathroom will help visually expand the room and make it as functional as possible.

So, first you need to determine what kind of furniture and plumbing are needed in the first place, and what you can refuse. Here are some tips for choosing and arranging furniture to help save space in your room:

1. large roomy cabinets in a small room will be inappropriate, it is better to replace them with shallow cabinets and pencil cases;
2. unnecessary items of plumbing equipment, such as a disaster or urinal, will have to be abandoned altogether;
3. you have to choose between a bathroom and a shower. Here you need to proceed from habits, and remember that the cabin will take up a minimum of space, but you will not be able to soak in the foam or take a soothing bath with oils, although a bathroom with a shower counter and a curtain can be a good alternative;
4. Having estimated the area and location of the door to optimize the usable space, you can choose a small corner bathroom, and under it make shelves for various household chemicals;
5. if there is a niche in the room, you need to use it one hundred percent, for example, place a pencil case with sliding doors or a washing machine in it, because you will agree that when it is in the kitchen and dirty laundry is collected in the bathroom, this is not very convenient.

Placing a washing machine in a small bathroom

1. as already mentioned, you can place it in a niche, and take up the rest of the space with shelves for various small things;
2. a compact washing machine can be placed under the washbasin with side drain - a non-standard option, but in terms of space saving it is very effective;
3. the washing machine can be placed next to the washbasin, and for a harmonious look, combine them with a single countertop, in this case it will be easy to attach a huge mirror on the wall above the countertop, which will visually expand the bathroom.

Arrangement of furniture in a small bathroom is a very important stage of arrangement, but it is equally important to pay due attention to lighting, color scheme and other optical techniques that will create the illusion of a spacious room.
