What to consider when designing a bathroom?

The design of the bathroom in the current style is selected depending on its area:

• The design of large modern bathrooms has its own specifics. They have the opportunity to define different areas - “wet”, a place for washing, a toilet, a laundry room. As a rule, areas of a separate direction are separated by walls - either brick or light, and they are also visible using thick dashes or cement (it all depends on your taste and money resources).
• The small size of the bathroom should not be a barrier to creating modern amenities. A bulky bath is cleaned, a shower is set up, this makes it possible to save the territory and even allocate a washing machine, otherwise nothing would have happened. In the small (standard) bathrooms, which are used daily, any building materials are used.

Important! The current fashionable interior concepts make it possible to remodel bathrooms. This can be the transformation of a room with shades of paint and building materials, plumbing details and furniture, changes in geometric shapes, etc.

In the bathroom, humidity often grows, and the planes of the room can be directly affected by water. Since hot water is used, the bathroom is required to counteract not only high humidity, but also a fair amount of temperature, and hot steam. Therefore - looking for building materials or furniture, we must remember this.

Important! In addition, the laundry room often fits into the design of the bathroom in a modern style (when the size allows it). A washing machine and tumble dryer are placed in the room, and a plot for folding laundry for processing is usually planned. In the bathroom, as a rule, they keep household chemicals, since basically you have to wash the plumbing right here.

A little bit about styles

The stylistic core of creating a bathroom decor will fundamentally be in front of everyone, while it is not necessary that the bathroom look like the decor of your entire home. Another question - styles should make up a common residential complex.

The most rational, especially for small bathrooms, will be the style of Minimalism, or rather - Scandinavian Minimalism. They provide an opportunity with a limited number of opportunities to get a large working area with a fashionable but restrained design.

The modern design of the bathroom of recent years is distinguished by laconicism of the color shade, the naturalness of the raw materials and the thoughtful atmosphere. It turns into a more minimalistic, plumbing received a more concise form, ceramic tiles received a modest one-color surface. All the entertainment of the situation is noted in detail, detail, the ratio of materials, textures.

Walls

For each level, the dominant building material is highlighted.Its definition depends on the taste and purse of the owner:

• Paint. The most modest option. There are no special restrictions on the shades of paints. The walls can be left as matte or shiny, there are possibilities of other options.
• Wallpaper. Nowadays, these are materials with the function of protection against moisture, fashionable and inexpensive, they can be used in it, reviving its interior. But, nevertheless, this option will also be affected by water and heat, which means that in a short time they will have to be updated. Regular labor input is the price of choosing a wallpaper.
• Plastic panels are more durable. They are placed on the crate - this makes it possible to leave some distance between the wall and the panels. Plastic can imitate various raw materials - from marble to stone, while being relatively cheap.
• Burnt clay tile. The most popular option for modern bathroom interior design. The material is resistant to water and thermal effects. The dirt that appears is easy to clean with a damp cloth. Hours - dozens of years.

Important! The main problem is that it requires large starting investments. Recommended in the presence of solid financial resources.

• Natural natural materials. Wood, stone of various types and after any processing steps fit perfectly into the modern design of the bathroom. A big minus - buying and installing will cost a lot of money. In this case, a real master is required, capable of processing and assembling the material. But if you succeed, the bathroom will turn into a work of art.

Ceiling

As for the ceiling decoration, there can also be different options, the choice of which is determined based on the decor of walls and floors. So, they can be used in a modern bathroom design:

• Paint. There is also a popular finishing method - applying the paint of the desired color. Cheap, durable (with qualified painting). But in this case, there will inevitably be the problem of installing ceiling lights.
• Drywall. For the bathroom, you must choose a moisture resistant one. Its use is justified in large rooms of old buildings, where rust and the unsightly appearance of pipes can be hidden behind such a ceiling, and other flaws.
• Tile. Sometimes the ceiling is refined with tiles, in particular mirrored. This allows you to visually raise the ceilings. However, mirrors in the bathroom with its damp atmosphere are fraught with the danger of fogging, which reduces their value.

Important! Tiled ceilings produce moisture condensation and occasional cold rain.

• Suspended ceiling. The construction of plastic panels is the most famous option today. Such a ceiling can be operated for a long time and it does not lose its aesthetic appearance. It is possible to mount spotlights in it, remove various communication lines.

Important! The installation of such ceilings is not a big problem. It is possible to play with lighting options.

• Stretch ceiling. This design is currently gaining popularity. The positive side is a large number of design samples, giving the opportunity to radically change the overall interior. Another positive quality is good leakage resistance. Of course, you have to pay for everything.

Floor

Another surface that cannot be left without your attention is the floor. And here you need to carefully approach the choice of material so that it is safe in terms of slip:

• Burnt clay tile. A good solution for finishing the bathroom floor. Qualitatively, fashionably, it is possible to choose a decor to suit your taste. In terms of cost-quality ratio, this is the most suitable choice.
• Porcelain tile. This building material has gained fame thanks to its natural texture and excellent performance - it does not wear out, is strong and does not slip at all, which is very important for those rooms where the floor may be damp.
• Wooden floor. It must be treated with a special moisture-resistant composition, only then applied as a coating.Wood is a good environmental material, but its use will be expensive.
