Basic rules for registration
A bathroom, combined with a toilet, for most families is not only a place where water procedures are carried out, but also a place for storing household items and equipment.
Before starting repair work, it is necessary to conduct a technical analysis of the premises. - study the layout of utilities, the dimensions of the plumbing, the height of the drain, check the deep cleaning filters, as well as the quality of the pipes. If the apartment has been redeveloped, then the owner must have the appropriate permissions for this procedure. It must be remembered that the bathroom should not cover the living space.

Joint bathroom with an area of 4 sq. m will be more functional if, in addition to a bath and a toilet, a washing machine is installed in it. We must not forget about good lighting, as well as the installation of a mirror and a couple of outlets. A small room for water treatments will be visually larger if you remove the bath and install a shower. In this case, the room acquires a significant amount of usable space on which you can install a washing machine and a cabinet for household chemicals.
For small spaces, it is better to choose built-in storage systems.They are quite roomy, so all bath accessories, hygiene products and household chemicals can easily be placed in them.

Subtleties of planning
The main requirement for the layout of the combined bathroom is practicality. The room should be spacious and comfortable to use. A room will become more comfortable if the bathroom or shower is located correctly in it. If the door is in the widest wall, then the plumbing should be to the left and right of it. If the opening is in a narrow wall, then the bath is installed at the end.
The size of the room influences the choice of the bathroom. It can be traditional or angular. Toilet bowls are standard, wall-mounted and attached. The variety of sinks makes it possible to choose the best option for a small space. It can be straight, asymmetrical and angular. The most unusual material for the manufacture of this sanitary ware is glass. It visually reduces the shell and visually enlarges the space.
