Design options for a combined bathroom in "Khrushchev"

A combined bathroom requires a beautiful and thoughtful design in any home. If in modern bathrooms the owners have the opportunity to freely fit everything you need, then the "Khrushchevs" cannot boast of such qualities. Let's figure out what are the design options for the combined bathroom in the mentioned dwellings.

A bathroom is a space that, like all rooms in an apartment, must be made practical, comfortable and beautiful.... It is important to choose the right finishing materials, furniture and plumbing fixtures. But in the case of a combined bathroom in the conditions of "Khrushchev", difficulties may arise.

The main feature of the bathroom and toilet, combined with each other in the "Khrushchev", is in their cramped quarters. As a rule, such premises in these dwellings have a very modest square. In rare cases, the area of ​​the bathroom is more than 4 square meters. In such a territory it will not be possible to properly "roam" and make, indeed, an interesting interior.

When the Khrushchev buildings were being designed, proper attention was not paid to the placement of household appliances. Because of this, in order to place the same washing machine in a similar room, you have to turn to redevelopment, because the equipment simply does not fit on 4 squares.

Being engaged in the arrangement and design of a small combined bathroom in the "Khrushchev", it is important to take care to visually make it more spacious, light and bright. In specialized stores today you can find all the necessary finishing materials, which will allow you to visually correct a small bathroom.

Before starting repair work in a combined bathroom, you need to assess your capabilities and decide on what you can refuse so that there is more free space in the room. Most often for this, instead of a classic bath, they buy a shower cubicle that is not so bulky and can easily slide into a free corner.

Given the small area of ​​the bathroom in the "Khrushchev", here you have to resort to various tricks. A good solution is zoning the space in the room. Of course, it will not be possible to fully do this in a tiny room, but it will be easy to separate the bath from the toilet using combined finishing materials.

It will be possible to successfully plan the quadrature of the shared bathroom, if we turn to corner structures. If you don't want to buy a shower cubicle, then a corner bath will be an excellent option. It will easily fit into a small space, decorate the interior and be quite comfortable to use.

Making out a small bathroom in the "Khrushchev", it is extremely important to give preference to the correct color schemes. The mood of the interior and its general appearance will depend on the chosen palette.

The ideal solution for a small bathroom - harmonious color combinations that look interesting and stylish. So, bright mosaic-type inserts against the background of calm, neutral shades can become a highlight of the interior. However, you should not oversaturate a small-sized area with variegated palettes - they will make the atmosphere flashy and even annoying.

The optimal solution for a bathroom in "Khrushchev" is pastel colors. Beige, white, cream, peach tones can refresh the room, make it visually spacious and comfortable.

It is better to refuse a large number of dark colors in a small-sized combined bathroom - they can visually make the room even smaller and cramped. It will be uncomfortable to be in such conditions. Dark palettes may be present, but in limited quantities.

Despite the fact that the combined bathroom in "Khrushchev" does not differ in its large dimensions, it is still possible to implement an interior ensemble in various styles. Let's consider what features and distinctive features certain styles have.

• Classic. Classic style never goes out of style. Many people love and choose him. This is the perfect solution for true connoisseurs of luxury. It is best to stick to light palettes here, which will give the room a soft glow.

Gold and beige accents will be useful. The presence of expensive, beautiful materials is desirable. Excessive flashiness and variegation should not be.

• Contemporary styles. These styles (hi-tech, minimalism) imply the most simple, but fashionable interior ensemble. A combination of monochromatic surfaces looks good here. Mirror, glossy, matte textures are suitable.

• Provence. Delicate, romantic style of the French countryside. This direction will be an ideal choice for romantic natures who love calm, caressing colors.In the interior of the Provence style, the presence of not only monochromatic, but also surfaces with small prints, for example, floral, is allowed.

It is in the Provencal style that vintage furniture looks especially attractive and harmonious. Interior filling can be decorated with chic forging. Natural textiles - napkins, towels, curtains will be useful.

• Scandinavian style... Discreet, solid and very popular style that many users choose nowadays. In the Scandinavian direction, they are attracted by cold, winter colors, cool textures that look incredibly stylish in a single ensemble. The style under consideration is dominated by snow-white, transparent ice, gray, dark blue and black tones.

Bleached wood looks attractive. Especially stylish in a "Scandinavian" bathroom will look spectacular patchwork tiles, complemented by ethnic patterns, monochrome rhombuses and other geometric shapes.

• Modern. The interiors in the Art Nouveau style are original and have their own flavor. In such environments, pieces of furniture with monochromatic surfaces that shine with gloss look harmonious. Art Nouveau sideboards and wardrobes often have a curved structure. This applies to both facades and legs.

In a very small bathroom in the "Khrushchev" without a visual increase in space is indispensable. There are many ways how to adjust such rooms, making them visually much more spacious. The simplest and most widespread technique that the residents of "Khrushchevs" turn to is a competent play with light. Everyone knows: the lighter the room, the more spacious it looks. You should not save on lighting in a shared bathroom.

Several spotlights can be installed on the ceiling. Another option is to install a single ceiling-type sconce in the room. The combination of sconces and spotlights looks interesting and practical. They can be combined with each other while zoning the available area.

For example, a large lighting fixture can illuminate the entire room, while spotlights can only illuminate the area reserved for the bathtub or washstand. From the point of view of psychology, such areas highlighted with light will be perceived by households as "rooms in a room."

To visually make the room seem more spacious, the walls and ceiling in it must be kept in light palettes. If you choose popular ceramic tiles for wall decoration, then you should refuse from bright large-sized drawings - they will only spoil the atmosphere. For a small room, discreet options with unobtrusive, small images or without them are more suitable.

The ceiling can be whitewashed or decorated with snow-white panels. A win-win option is a stretch ceiling with a glossy surface.

Do not neglect mirrors. The more there are, the more spacious the room will look.

The range of finishing materials today is greater than ever. It is possible to choose the best options for rooms of any size and layout. So, the most demanded material for many years has been ceramic tiles. It is presented in the widest range and has many positive qualities that make it relevant at all times:

• it is durable;
• durable - it is very difficult to damage it;
• easily cleaned of dirt;
• looks attractive.

It is important to choose the ideal tile size wisely. Large options (15x15 cm) for a bathroom in the "Khrushchev" are definitely not suitable. The interior will turn out to be heavy, there will be an effect of "drawing together the walls", this will make the room even smaller visually.

A good mosaic, consisting of squares of different colors and textures. You need to be careful with such decorations. Too bright design will be superfluous - it will reduce the room. Abstraction and natural compositions will increase the space.

For decoration use PVC panels... They are not afraid of moisture, last a long time and are inexpensive. But these materials look much simpler and cheaper than tiles.

The floor and ceiling can be finished with the following materials:

• tile;
• glossy PVC material (ceiling);
• fiberglass;
• rack ceiling;
• porcelain stoneware;
• polymers (for flooring).
