Design of a combined bathroom 6 sq. m
The dwelling of a modern person should be comfortable, regardless of the peculiarities of his perspective. A modern approach to furnishing allows you to create a cozy atmosphere even in a combined bathroom. From the material in this article, you will learn how to decorate the interior of a bathroom combined with a toilet, if the total area of the room is 6 sq. m.
Features of the arrangement
Combined bathroom with an area of 6 sq. m is considered small, although it is quite possible to give it visual space if desired. However, the perspective of the premises is often extremely poorly built. The developer could complicate the premises with incomprehensible protrusions, niches, unsuccessful arrangement of communicative elements. Sometimes this is what makes the owners of the dwelling start from what is, selecting and installing the elements of the arrangement in an uncomfortable way.
If we approach the issue of planning from a different point of view, even the most uncomfortable room can be made attractive and functional. For example, in one case, you can think about installing a partition that will separate the toilet area from the bathroom.
Sometimes for this you have to sacrifice a bathroom, changing it to a shower stall. Using a baffle is a practical design step.
The project allows you to properly and rationally equip three key areas of the bathroom. It is necessary to accommodate every component of the interior, right down to the heated towel rail and the mirror. It is important to arrange everything as conveniently as possible for operation.At the same time, one should not forget about such points as the distance between the toilet bowl and the bathroom, the practicality of the cladding, and the ease of maintenance.
Subtleties of planning
So that each element of the arrangement looks in the combined bathroom to the place and does not interfere with the household, they draw up a project plan or a schematic drawing. The dimensions of the room itself are applied to it and, starting from the form, furniture is selected, conventionally dividing the room into 3 functional zones: washing, toilet and bathroom. The distance between them must be sufficient for free movement. This is necessary to ensure the safety of using the bathroom.
For example, the layout in the room an area of 2 by 3 m can be linear. Depending on the number of elements of the arrangement, the arrangement of plumbing can be uniform, thereby eliminating the possibility of overloading a separate part of the room. In this case, sockets and other electrical communications are placed away from water. It is forbidden to design electrical wiring over the bathroom.
Plumbing is placed so that one element does not interfere with the other. It is necessary to exclude the possibility of splashing water (for example, from the sink on the toilet). Depending on the location of the communications, the bathtub can be located opposite the doorway, to the side of it. As for the installation of the washing machine, it can be located both in the existing niche and under the sink or along the wall adjacent to the one where the bath is located.
In addition, the washing machine can be located under a console-type shelf in which a small sink is mounted. The toilet is usually placed where it is not particularly visible. Wherein trying to maintain the distance between him and other plumbing.
In order to prevent splashing water when draining, they buy a product with an anti-splash system.
Style solutions
Bathroom 6 sq. m is suitable for the embodiment of different interior styles. Of course, it is not easy to equip the classical branches of design here due to the gravitation of the classics, neoclassicism and classicism towards pomp and palace solemnity. However, if you wish, you can use individual elements of these styles, they are able to indicate belonging to a certain style.
Any modern style can be an ideal solution: from minimalism to brutalism and art deco. Either direction supports the use of ergonomic elements of arrangement and demonstration of manufacturability.
At the same time, even laconic plumbing or a shower stall will look elegant due to fittings and textures. The main thing is that it should be modern, uniform in design and color.
Country and Provence are excellent solutions when choosing a style for a small bathroom combined with a toilet. Both styles welcome simplicity, coupled with a rustic vintage feel. Today, these styles are quite popular, no worse than such fashion trends as a loft or a chalet. Regarding the latter, it is worth noting: their implementation on 6 sq. m is also very relevant.
Color spectrum
The colors of the bathroom combined with the toilet are varied. It is often white combined with the vibrant colors of the palette. Often, the choice of colors depends on the priority shades of a particular style.
For example, loft style resources are concrete and brick. It is quite logical that these colors will prevail in the interior. In order to soften the perception of the interior, white can be added to them.
Country and Provence prefer bleached shades, while country is characterized by warm tones, for Provence - cool. The range of colors includes beige, ivory, peach, mint, caramel, light pink, pale lavender, gray-blue. And also here can be chosen whitewashed tones of turquoise, sea wave, sunny shade.
Soft and muted colors are used in modern style. Often these are light and neutral tones.In the Scandinavian style, light gray, white, pale bluish looks good. Art Nouveau is characterized by the use of beige, peach color, milky. A combined Art Deco or brutalist style bathroom can include a steel, silver color, coupled with a light brown or wenge oak shade.
Interior finishing options
Bathroom cladding is subject to certain rules. The key features of materials should be moisture resistance, fire resistance, durability. Among other options, plastic panels, lining, tiles, laminate flooring fit more into these characteristics. In addition, a moisture-resistant decorative stone can be used in the decoration of wall ceilings.
For the floor can be used laminate, linoleum, self-leveling floor, porcelain stoneware. The best options are considered self-leveling floor and tiles. The budget type is linoleum: It is easy to stack and cut.
You can lay it yourself, it will not take much time. Self-leveling floor allows you to create a fill with a wide variety of designs. The tile is durable, but its weak points are the seams.
The ceiling in the bathroom can be decorated with ceiling tiles, drywall or stretch film. The film is made of PVC, it stretches well, is inert to moisture, easy to clean and allows you to create an even ceiling. Drywall is convenient for repainting and masking the unevenness of the ceiling. Plastic tiles in the bathroom are used less often.
Selection of furniture and sanitary ware
The choice of each element of the bathroom arrangement must be approached thoroughly. To make the plumbing look holistic, as a single ensemble, it is necessary to select it in the same style, design, looking closely at the similarity of fittings, colors and shapes. The color must also match, otherwise a product with a contrasting tone will be knocked out of the overall interior picture. The toilet model can be rimless or rimless.
By the type of attachment, you can choose a model of floor-standing, side-mounted and hanging type. You need to choose an option designed for a large weight load. In this case, it is necessary to note the depth of the bowl: if it is insufficient, water may be sprayed onto the floor and walls when flushed.
The bathtub can be made of different materials, the type of model is chosen based on your own preferences. The size is selected in such a way that it is comfortable to sit or lie inside. If they want to save space for the shower, they take a small bath. Shape and design are selected taking into account the external characteristics of plumbing.
Basically, the bathtub and plumbing are usually white, however, depending on the color scheme, it is possible to purchase color options.
Furniture is selected with an emphasis on functionality. For example, it can be a narrow shelf in which a sink is mounted. It is more convenient to install a washing machine under it. If you need to install a storage system in the bathroom, take a washbasin cabinet with spacious drawers. Furniture (bath, shower) can be standard linear or angular.
Sometimes in the interior of the combined bathroom, the space under the bathroom becomes functional, which is masked by a screen. If there is space, a compact rack can be included in the interior composition. In addition, a set of floor and wall boxes can be purchased for a 2x3 m bathroom. Depending on the needs of the household, you can equip the room with a large heated towel rail. All accessories should be consistent in a single material, color, design.
Lighting and decor
The lighting of the combined bathroom is designed in such a way as to illuminate all corners of the available space. If the central luminaire is small, the lack of lighting is compensated for by means of auxiliary lighting.For example, the lighting composition can be a panel-type lamp in the center of the room and spot lighting on the ceiling around its perimeter.
One of the most convenient bathroom lighting options can be waterproof type LED strip. Optionally, you can purchase a variant of the RGB class, which allows the user to change the shade of the glow.
There are a lot of color shades in the range of such backlighting. Thanks to them, the feeling can be created that the interior of the bathroom is made in blue, lilac, purple or yellow tones.
A hidden type of lighting is mounted between the ceiling and the molding, often the edge of the plasterboard box is drawn with tape. It can be mounted under a stretch film or used in niche lighting. Depending on the choice of style, along with these lighting devices, wall sconces and soffits are used. The decor can be both lighting and used fittings, the texture of the cladding, mirrors, small panels, soap dishes and other functional items.
