Someone like a classic bathroom without any innovations. Someone prefer innovations. For example, a bathroom with a shower. Many modern bathrooms are now equipped with beautiful showers. What is the best way to do this, what options can there be, what are the secrets and wisdom of designing a bathroom interior design? This will be discussed in this article.
More about the shower
It is clear that before you think about installing a shower cabin in a bathroom, you should know what a shower cabin is. In general, a shower cabin is a small room with a shower installed in it. Frame, walls, pallet, roof, door, shower head - these are the main components of a shower cabin.
A shower cabin is, figuratively speaking, a room indoors. On the one hand, this is good; on the other, it can cause many problems. When installing a shower cabin in the bathroom, you should think about what the interior of the bathroom with shower will be like and whether the cabin will look like a foreign body in the bathroom. In other words, the design of a bathroom with a shower cabin is the first thing to think about before proceeding with the installation of a cabin.
Varieties of showers
All shower cabins for the bathroom are divided into two varieties, which should be described in more detail:
- Prefabricated showers. Such cabins do not have a roof and rear walls. In addition to them, you must also purchase a stand and a watering can: that is, except for the pallet and door, such cabins have nothing more in the kit. Such a cabin is installed close to the walls of the bathroom, the door is also attached to the walls of the bathroom, and a rack with a watering can also is attached to them. In addition to the disadvantages compared to a full-fledged cab, this “under-cab” has its own advantages nevertheless: it is easier to fit into the interior.
- Monoblock cab. This is a one-piece cabin with a ceiling, walls and a door, which, having mounted, can be installed in any place. The cabin is equipped with a shelf and a mirror. The most sophisticated models can be backlit and radio. These are pluses, but there are also disadvantages. Such a cabin is quite difficult to mount, as it is sold in a dismantled form.
It is quite clear that, in addition to everything, the cost of a monoblock cabin is significantly higher than that of a prefabricated cabin.
Bathroom design with shower
A bathroom is the very room where a person begins and ends every day of his life. For this reason, the way the bathroom looks in many respects depends on the mood with which a person begins every day and in what mood he finishes it.
Designers have prepared many all kinds of tempting recommendations regarding the design of bathrooms with showers.
Design interiors in many respects depend on a wide variety of reasons: on the overall size of the room, on the location of the cabin itself (a bathroom with a shower corner, a cabin located in the center of the room, etc.), on the type of shower, on the fantasies and wishes of the owners and much more.And yet, despite all of the above reasons, there are styles that can be applied almost everywhere:
- Urban style. The urban and modern style with all the colors and attributes inherent in urban life is emphasized. Bright, flashy paints are hardly suitable for this style, but paints of calm tones will look good.
- Minimalism. This style does not imply any particularly bright colors and accents. In this case, everything should be framed with emphasized simplicity and even with some severity.
- Remarkably, regardless of style, they will look in the shower cabin walls, as well as doors made of glass. Even better if the walls and doors are lightly white.
- A great design decision is to place the cabin in a special niche. Unless, of course, such a niche in the bathroom is even possible.
In general, there are no excessively strict requirements for the design of bathrooms with showers. All, again, depends on the size of the premises, the wishes of the owners and their financial viability.
Design of a small bathroom with shower
A small bathroom with a shower is always a difficult task for a designer. The bathroom in Khrushchev is usually very small, so a small-sized shower cabin is best suited here. Its selection must be taken seriously - otherwise such a cabin may simply not fit in the bathroom.
In this case, the angular version of the shower room may be the best. As a result of this, square centimeters, which are so few in small bathrooms, will be saved. In terms of design, a small shower is also a good enough solution. It takes a place in the corner, thus giving the designer completeness to the whole room as a whole and not allowing all kinds of trash to accumulate in the corner.
However, in a small bathroom you can also place a rectangular or square booth, but only if there is a pre-prepared niche for this. In any case, cabins with “compartment” doors should be installed here. The cabins of another type, swinging open, will occupy a place that is already lacking. If there is still no place to install a full-fledged cabin, then in this case you can install a special shower enclosure. Sometimes a shower corner in a small bathroom may be the only right solution.
Bathroom repair with shower
For the decoration of the bathroom, after it has installed a shower, you can use a variety of materials:
- Most often, ceramic tile is used for these purposes.
- Recently, the walls in the bathroom are also finished with plastic panels. They are cheaper than ceramics, they are easier to install, with proper installation they successfully resist moisture.
- The surface of the floor in the bathroom is also important. The floor can be covered with ceramics, it can be covered with laminate, and bulk floors can be made.
- The ceiling in the bathroom can be finished in different ways: with plastic panels, tiles, it can also be painted with all kinds of drawings or without them, it can be tensioned, etc. There are many options.
The choice of finishing materials for the shower remains a difficult task during the repair of the bathroom. It is important that they are not only modern and stylish, but also cope with the difficult conditions of the room.
