Bathroom design without a toilet (52 photos): convenience and comfort
If in the countries of the Western world they are accustomed to combined bathrooms, and have little idea of another organization of space, in our country a separate bathroom is in great demand than a combined one. Most likely, this went from the time when people were forced to huddle in small rooms of a communal apartment - if there were combined bathrooms in such rooms, living there would be much more uncomfortable. Therefore, our man, especially if he lives in Khrushchev, appreciates when the space of the toilet and the bathroom are delimited by the wall and separated from each other. Of course, the design of the bathroom, in which there is no toilet, will be special - in the article we will consider this issue.
Benefits of a separate bathroom
We will find out to whom and for what reasons it is worth choosing a separate bathroom.
If your family is quite large and, moreover, has several generations, then without a separate bathroom it will be difficult. Therefore, in this case, an interior with a separate bathroom and toilet is more a necessity than a whim. A small child and an elderly person in Khrushchev will not be able to endure for a long time until the toilet opens, if one of the family members is basking in the foam bath with a book.
If in the apartment the wall between the toilet and the bathroom is a carrier, then combining these two rooms will not work. Therefore, you will have to proceed from the fact that there is and design the interior of a separate small bathroom.
If the toilet is spacious - more than 170x170 cm - then combining it with a bath does not make much sense. And if there is a place to put a bidet in the toilet, then it is better to leave these two rooms separate - no one will bang on the door, demanding to let him in the toilet when you remove evening makeup or apply makeup. But, unfortunately, in Khrushchev it is unrealistic.
Design Features
Consider what are the basic requirements and principles of designing a bathroom without a toilet.
Although the bathroom and toilet in this case are separate, however, nevertheless, they are decorated most often in the same style - as if they were a single room. Plumbing in these separate rooms is also installed by the same manufacturer and it is better - if one collection - this will further emphasize the stylistic unity and design of the "hygienic" rooms.
As a rule, if the bathroom is separated from the toilet, its room becomes smaller. Hence, it is necessary to visually expand it. This is facilitated by mirror surfaces, clear glass and small mosaics. Also, a small room becomes larger if you use a bright design.
The design with diagonally laid floor covering will make the room of a small bathroom visually wider and longer. The material can be a laminate, and tile, and decorative stone.
Color
We will figure out what color scheme is better to choose for a separate bathroom.
The bathroom does not have to be plain. Now this is no longer fashionable. It is best to choose two or three close shades and create a suitable interior based on them. Even in Khrushchev at the minimum square. m he can be stylish and beautiful.
White color is the traditional color of plumbing, it is suitable if square. m bathroom are small. With this neutral shade all other colors of a huge palette are perfectly combined.And it is not necessary to use pastel, gentle tones - the modern design also welcomes bright colors, if they are used correctly. So, some details can be highlighted in a bright color: for example, red towels or curtains of the same shade will look good on a calm beige tile background. Such an interior will look great, even if the bathroom is small, and its size is less than 2.5 square meters. m
The use of natural shades is now in trend. It can be all shades of earthy colors, stone, wood, etc. Such a natural design will make the interior lively and warm, suitable if the size of the bathroom without a toilet is less than 2-3 square meters. m
A great choice for a small bathroom is a combination of cold and warm shades of the same color. However, such a combination requires taste and design skills, especially if a small bathroom is decorated in Khrushchev. It’s easy to miss and pick out shades that won't mix too well. It is better to decorate the interior according to ready-made palettes, which are presented in large numbers on the relevant sites, including ours.
The color in the bathroom can be used as a wonderful way to zone the space. So, the angle where the bathtub or shower stall is built in can be indicated by the color of water - green, blue, turquoise, and the place at the washbasin should be highlighted with yellow or another contrasting color. Even if the bathroom is 170x170 cm in size, subject to this condition, its design will look stylish and beautiful.
Do not use too many shades when decorating the bathroom. In rooms of small sizes, the riot of flowers looks too flashy and also visually makes a square. m less room. The best option is to use no more than three matching colors.
Do not forget that light shades can expand the size of the room, and dark colors, on the contrary, will make the bathroom visually smaller. Therefore, only a spacious bathroom can be decorated in dark shades. And certainly not in Khrushchev.
Lighting
Good lighting is very important for any room in the house, especially for as small as a small bathroom without a toilet.
Features:
- The interior of the bathroom requires a central ceiling light with a bright light bulb. If the ceiling is high enough and the room is spacious, you can even use a real chandelier. But if the repair takes place in Khrushchev, and the size of the square. m of the bathroom "let us down", it is better to hang a more functional and concise lamp - for example, in the shape of a ball.
- It is desirable to supplement the mirror above the sink with small sconces on both sides, which will make the interior more comfortable, and applying makeup in bright light will be more convenient.
- It is better to use modern bulbs - LED or halogen. Their light is much brighter, the design is more beautiful, moreover, they serve longer and are not afraid of random drops of water. The latter is important if the bathroom has few square meters. m
- If you want to use spot lighting, then do not forget that for this you need to sheathe the ceiling with plasterboard. In Khrushchev, such a ceiling can make the room lower, so in this case you need to think carefully about competent lighting.
Recommendations:
- If the bathroom has a low ceiling, it is better to use a rectangular-shaped tile, which visually “stretches” the design of the room.
- Eye-level decoration will help to make the room visually wider. It can be a beautiful ornament or drawing, on which the eye will concentrate.
- Glass and mirror surfaces will make a room that has not enough square. m, visually more spacious. In addition, such air surfaces can give the bathroom lightness and expand the space.
