The interior design of a small bathroom without a toilet

A bathroom is not just a place to maintain hygiene, but also a corner of privacy. The space where we can remove the burden of fatigue from our body, will invigorate, be filled with vital energy. For women, this room serves as a boudoir. Therefore, the design of a small bathroom without a toilet is of great importance.

Those who have already encountered repairing a bathroom know that the cost of these 3-5 meters is comparable to the cost of a living room of 15-20 sq. M.
Moreover, if in the living room you can later rearrange everything and move it, then for the bathroom it is absolutely impossible. Therefore, the most important thing is to think thoroughly about all the nuances.

Dismantling

The first thing we have to do is dismantle the tile (if any) or paint from the walls, plumbing. It would seem, everything is simple - to break not to build, but there are some nuances here. It is important to correctly approach the dismantling of the bath, so as not to damage the drain pipes (if you are not going to change them).
In 99% of cases in the overhaul of the bathroom there is a replacement of pipeline parts. For convenience and aesthetics, we recommend hiding the pipes.

This can be done in two ways:

  1. Stitched channels on the walls, putting them there.
  2. Sew under moisture resistant drywall, which then lay down finish.
    The first option is the most preferable because it saves us space. The realities of small bathrooms are such that every centimeter counts.
    Consider in advance the location of the bathroom or shower, washbasin, bidet, washing machine. After all, any plumbing joins the pipes, which means that it will be necessary to make the inputs on the set places.
    Another important fact at the preparatory stage will be the choice of a place for fixing a heated towel rail. It can be located on any of the walls, and its functionality is determined by you personally.

The most expensive towel warmer was a copy of $ 2,200, which is remotely controlled and boasts an unusual design and volumetric shapes with clear geometric proportions.

Choosing finishing materials

Having dealt with the preparatory moments, we turn to creativity. After all, the selection of material and colors is really a creative moment. Many pass through tantalum flours when choosing wall finishes and making color decisions.
There are three main types of materials for decorating bathroom walls:

TilePros: ease of care, durability, practicality.
Cons: The high price of the tile itself, as well as its installation, takes several days to lay the tile and dry the tile adhesive.
PVC panelsPros: low material cost, ease of installation, easy to clean.
Cons: mounted on metal profiles, which takes 5-20 cm from each wall.
Bathroom wallpaperPros: easy to glue without the help of a specialist, quick installation, you can update the wallpaper, thereby introducing a new mood to this room.
Disadvantages: with the wrong approach to this process (drying of walls, special glue and high-quality duplex wallpaper), it can partially or completely come off, the service life is shorter than in previous versions.


With the right combination of two or three finishing materials, you can get a unique design of a small bathroom.

For a small room it would be ideal to put tiles on the walls near the bathroom, and paste the remaining space on the walls. With this combination, the main harmony of color solutions. Glossy ceiling, with built-in lights, will reflect and increase the room accordingly. It is not recommended to choose too dark colors, they eat space, which will visually reduce the size of the room.

Solving the main issue - shower or bath

According to all the canons of design, dancing is from the "stove"; in our case, the priority will be to choose between a bath or a shower. At the same time, we cannot use these two plumbing solutions because of the limited space.
Let's evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this sanitary equipment for a small bath.

Bath advantages:

  1. It has a cleansing and relaxing effect. You can relax, relax, steam in it, adding herbs or salt to the water.
  2. Bath is indispensable in the presence of small children.
  3. Low price.

Minuses:

  1. The main disadvantage is the high consumption of water. If your family likes to splash in the bathroom, but they don’t want to do it (as all family members wash in the same water and then wash their clothes in it), then the cost of utility payments will be impressive.
  2. No bathroom curtain can protect you from water spilled on the floor.

Pluses of a shower cabin:

  1. No splashes and drops outside the booth.
  2. Saves space, takes up much less space.
  3. Saves water.
  4. Saves time. You can rinse for a couple of minutes.

Minuses:

  1. Costly
  2. It is impossible to relax while standing in the shower, the muscles remain strained.

The final decision to make you what is better, more comfortable, and most importantly preferable to you.

Choosing plumbing

When choosing a sink, it is important to immediately take into account several main nuances:

  1. Having a shower in the bathroom - we place the sink in the opposite corner, otherwise the room will be unbalanced from the point of interior design.
  2. An important detail - the shape of the shell. If you prefer to brush your teeth at the same time with your half, then it makes sense to consider a shell of an elongated narrow shape. They look very stylish and unusual.
  3. It is also necessary to determine the mount, we offer the following options to choose from:
    a) sink-console, which is attached with brackets to the wall. It is good because it has the form of air, and also, in order to save space, it allows you to put a washing machine under it;
    b) a tulip shell. This design easily masks the plumbing parts remaining on the wall surface;
    c) a sink in the nightstand is the most common option, because it allows not only to easily mount the sink, but also to use the nightstand for storing various bath products.
    Any of these options is equally beautiful, performs unique functions in the interior, creates the necessary balance of the room.


If a place allows you, you feel the need to install a bidet, then the following tips are for you. Bidets differ in the method of installation and are floor-standing, wall-mounted, attachment. When installing a bidet in a confined space as a small bathroom, it is worthwhile to give preference to wall options. They do not steal space, because in fact they are not on the floor, but as if floating in the air.
The color, as well as the material of this plumbing should be consistent with the main attribute of the room - a bath or shower.

Bathroom Furniture

The most important priorities when choosing furniture for the bathroom, in addition to colors, will be compactness and capacity.
Leading a bachelor lifestyle, having two shelves in a given room may seem overkill, but having a full-fledged family of 3-4 members makes it difficult to overestimate the availability of additional shelves and lockers.


No bathroom can exist without a mirror; with the rather modest size of our room, we can only afford a mirror above the washbasin.
We determine the type of mirror - a mirror in the frame, without a frame or built-in with wall cabinets.
If the mirror is autonomous, do not forget that its dimensions should not be the overall dimensions of the sink, these two elements should be consistent.

Let there be light and beauty

Lone wall plafonds-tablets were lost against the background of various sconces, built-in lamps, fluorescent lamps. Having good lighting in the bathroom, which will emphasize your design idea, will place the accents of the interior - this is not a luxury, but a necessity.
A bathroom is a place where we meet with ourselves - without clothes, cosmetics and clothes. This is the only abode where we can admit to ourselves our shortcomings, but then we can correct them in order to shine further.


We advise you to make several autonomous lighting points in order to be able to add or subtract the amount of lighting if necessary. For example, when shaving or applying makeup.
Accessories are those elements that allow you to show your individuality.
If when choosing a plumbing, we are limited by space, finances, colors, then when choosing accessories there are no borders for us.


When choosing and using accessories there are no borders, the main thing is not to get carried away and not overload the room.
We cancel the rules - go ahead, show yourself! Remember - design does not tolerate chaos. The interior of a small bathroom must be clearly balanced, all parts must be combined - this is the main criterion to which you must strive!
