A small bathroom requires a thoughtful design to the smallest detail, only then the design of the space reserved for it can become not only aesthetic, but also functional. To achieve this goal, homeowners have three allies - form, light and color.
Since most of the population lives in houses built about forty years ago, where, the design of such premises was developed long ago and quite successfully. With the advent of new plumbing products, more new projects are being developed by designers working with this problem. If you take a specialized magazine where there are photos of such projects, it becomes surprising why such an elegant design solution did not appear from its owner.
Furniture arrangement options
Considering the projects developed by designers, you can see that even the smallest bathroom can have several options for arranging plumbing and finishing. There are even standard projects according to which you can choose the design you like, developed by professionals.
However, if we take into account the proposals of professional designers, it is quite affordable for the homeowner to develop such an interior design that will be framed no worse than those shown in the photographs.
Where to begin
The first step for independent design development will be planning the best option for installing new or existing plumbing. For those who are friendly with the computer, you should know that there are programs with which you can very quickly see the result of the work on the monitor. With you can work for free directly on the Internet, without installing it on your computer.
You can make a layout in the old way - take a sheet of paper, draw a bathroom on a certain scale with an accurate display of its size, mark the places where communications are located. If the homeowner is ready to invest a certain amount necessary to transfer communications, you should know that using modern technologies, communications are transferred to almost any necessary place. By cutting out large-scale images of plumbing products from paper, you can easily find the best option for installing them.
Nothing extra
For the functionality of the room, the bathroom should have a minimum set of plumbing and furniture - a toilet, a sink and a bathtub, for which a shower cabin will be an excellent replacement. The installation of a corner cabin will significantly increase the free space, because their model range begins with the dimensions of the occupied area of 70 x 70 cm. Using it will allow you to painlessly install a washing machine in the bathroom.
For people who cannot imagine their life without taking a bath, there is also an option for transforming the interior, which saves space.
The first option - combined with a shower cabin, and when choosing the second option - replacing the usual one with an acrylic corner one, the design of the room will look much more original, and it will take one and a half times less space than the standard one.
compact bathroom
If a room has a door that opens inward, then care should be taken to open it outward without requiring the use of bathroom space. An even better option would be to replace an ordinary door with its sliding model, thereby significantly saving space not only in the bathroom, but also in the corridor.
Visually increase the space
Having decided the question of what kind of plumbing will be equipped with a small bathroom, before installing it, you should choose the finish option. For a small room, the classic option would be to use light colors. It is not necessary that it be white, as it requires careful daily care. Light shades of pink, lilac, olive color look great. When using sanitary ware made of acrylic, it is possible to choose the appropriate color.

For the visual expansion of the room, they are used, and by its vertical arrangement in the form of stripes, it is possible to separate the zone from the toilet zone.
Mirrored doors at wall cabinets will increase and diversify the space. The use of its walls to the very top will improve the functionality of a small room, because compact furniture designed for the bathroom is now produced in a huge amount, there is plenty to choose from.
The transformed small room, with its own interior design, will be able to compete with similar rooms in the photo from fashion magazines.
