Bathroom furnishing combinations between 5-12 sq.m.

The bathroom is probably the smallest room in our homes. But that doesn't make it any less important. It's a place where every family member spends a lot of time every day. That's why the layout of this room, the proper operation of the appliances, and the functionality of all the interior elements all have an impact on the mood of the users.

How to properly plan the furnishing of the bathroom, even with smaller dimensions? This is a responsible and difficult task, unforgiving of mistakes, requiring calculations, taste and knowledge of designing and building a bathroom. We will try to make the task easier by introducing you to the features of different sizes of bathrooms between 5 and 12 sq.m. and offer you ideas for them:

Bathroom of 5 - 6 sq. m. - comfortable environment and aesthetic appeal

In a bathroom with an area of 5-6 square meters, we don't have to worry about every centimeter, we can comfortably place everything we need and still get a room with free space.

The choice of color palette for the room is large enough - the use of bright and even dark shades in a dosed version is completely appropriate. However, 5-6 sq m. is not enough to plan a bathtub in the center or a dressing table with a huge mirror.

With this square footage, you can afford a lot, but without going beyond the ergonomic placement of plumbing equipment and possible furniture .

Let's look at specific design projects to see how a medium-sized bathroom can be furnished in a comfortable and rational way, while also looking attractive from the outside.

Combining furniture in a medium-sized bathroom

  From the point of view of the arrangement of the products, the area of 5-6 sq. m. is not enough to put a bathtub and a shower cabin. But the two functions can be combined within one space. For this purpose, you need a shower with a flexible hose above the bathtub. As a rule, to protect the space around the bathtub from splashes, place a glass partition that occupies one third of its length.

In a medium-sized bathroom, the issue of space is always relevant. Installing a toilet with a built-in cistern will allow you to save a little space, not to mention the aesthetic appeal of such a construction.

If you have a separate toilet and don't need a cistern in the bathroom, you can use the space along the wall (if the room is rectangular) to install two sinks . This small investment from a financial point of view will allow you to save time in the morning when everyone is getting ready for their work. Even couples without children save time during rush hour with the presence of a double sink.

Another great way to save time is to install two opposing showers instead of one bathtub.

Bathroom of 7 sq m.

A bathroom measuring 7 sq. m. is every person's dream. It has enough space for everything and can be designed in any style. A bathroom of such dimensions has all the conditions for creating a small salon in which various procedures can be performed.

Layout

A large bathroom gives you complete freedom of action when choosing a style. You can choose a classic interior, in which the consistency in the use of colors and materials is clearly traced.

It is not a bad idea to have a minimalist or nautical style bathroom, because this way the atmosphere in it will become unusual and original. If you dream of a vacation and a seaside, then the nautical motifs will allow you to relax and gather strength.

A good solution for a 7 square meter bathroom would be to use wenge color. This color goes well with bright shades, so the bathroom interior will look especially attractive.

If you want to create a more colorful and casual environment, you can use the color green, which creates a natural atmosphere and allows for excellent relaxation.

Here are some ideas for furnishing a 7 square meter bathroom:

Bathroom in eco style. When furnishing in this style, you should stick to natural textures and colors, minimalism in details and smoothly curved shapes. In a 7 sq. m. bathroom, you can place, for example, a bathtub next to the window, and a shower cabin on the opposite side.

Next to the shower cabin, place a sink with a mirror and a cabinet for various accessories. Next to the bathtub, you can install a console toilet , which is compact and saves space.

Bathroom with two sinks. A bathtub and shower on one side, on the other a countertop with two sinks, a comfortable stool, a cabinet and a built-in toilet at the far end of the room. Such a layout lengthens the room, and the two sinks with a large mirror save the family time.

Modern bathroom. A very good option is a large corner bathtub, and next to it a small cabinet for accessories and towels. Place a built-in toilet and sink opposite, under which there is another cabinet . Don't forget the mirror and lighting.

Bathroom 10 sq m.

The bathroom with dimensions of 10 sq. m. is a fairly large and spacious room. There is room in it for placing all the necessary items , although sometimes it can be said that even such an area is not enough for placing a bathtub. If you approach the furnishing of this room correctly, it will have a sufficiently beautiful and functional appearance.

Functionalities

Before you go out to buy building materials, grab a piece of paper and a pencil and try to sketch out your bathroom design. Keep in mind that all the elements you will use should not exceed 10 sq m.

At some point, the eternal question will arise: bathtub or shower cabin ? Today, the choice of these products is so large that you can choose not only the material, but also the dimensions, as well as the functions of the products.

Remember that a shower stall will save you space, but even the most expensive and large shower stall cannot replace a bathtub. If taking a bath is your favorite activity, it is worth sacrificing a few square meters.

The lighting

When furnishing a bathroom, it is important to note that the room should be well lit. This is especially true for bathrooms with an area of over 8 sq. m. If you are preparing a bathroom in dark tones, you can use several light sources. This can allow you to conditionally divide the room into several effective zones.

Many people overlook lighting, and it is a very important aspect. Quality light makes even a simple interior brighter and more sophisticated. This way, the interior will look more finished, and good lighting will allow you to perform your hygiene procedures more efficiently and carefully.

Suitable color scheme

The snow-white bathroom will look very stylish. In an interior of 10 sq. m. this color will visually enlarge the room and create even more space. But it is not excluded that additional colors can be used. The white color goes well with black, brown and dark blue.

The bathroom, done in black color , creates an extraordinary atmosphere. It will make your bathroom much more refined. The use of small white and red accents will help you create a more pleasant atmosphere. In addition, the use of these colors allows you to furnish the bathroom in any style.

A brown bathroom will look spectacular and unusual. If you like unconventional colors and combinations, then this shade is exactly what you need. The use of glossy tiles will give the room shine and charm. Such a bathroom will allow you to spend your time usefully and in a pleasant atmosphere.

Furnishing a bathroom of 12 sq. m.

A bathroom of 12 sq. m. - is this a lot or a little? Everyone has their own criteria, but according to modern standards, we must note that 12 sq. m. is a luxury. Therefore, let's look at options for how the interior of such a bathroom can be designed, how to use design, etc.

Distribution of objects and functionality

Even if we have a whole 12 sq. m., we will hardly be able to walk around in this space. Therefore, we need to come up with an interior design that fits the room. We need to determine whether there will be a bathtub or a shower cabin . In essence, the bathtub can replace the cabin, but not vice versa.

If functionality and space saving are your priority, then use a shower cabin. This way you can gain at least 05, sq. m. The cabin can be placed in the corner, which will significantly save space. It should not be forgotten that the shower cabin, in principle, is equipped with additional functions. Therefore, you can get more pleasure from the process.

This element is essential in the bathroom, but we should not forget about the others. For example, the washing machine. In general, it is best to avoid the presence of this appliance in the bathroom if possible. Even the relatively small dimensions of the washing machine can take up precious space. Where to put it then? One of the most common options is in the kitchen, where it looks harmonious among the furniture.

If the washing machine needs to be in the bathroom, you can place it under the sink. The remaining space is needed for other items. A basket for dirty laundry is a necessity for a bathroom. You should also think about shelves, a cabinet or some structure that allows you to conveniently arrange your body, hair and face care products. If space does not allow you to place everything, you can use corner bathroom shelves. They do not take up valuable "squares" and are convenient.

Layout

We should not forget about the layout of the bathroom. Lighter shades are recommended for this room, but some dark accents can also look good. Yellow, blue and black and white tones look great. Although black and white should be combined skillfully so that it does not look dark: there should be more white, adding black accents.

In general, the design of a bathroom of 12 squares can be different. It can be a marine theme or, for example, oriental. You can design a room in a more exotic direction. Why not Egyptian style?

For larger bathrooms, it is advantageous to consider a tandem mini-bath with a shower cabin, two in one, for a significant saving of unused space. Compact toilets (short projection) also solve this problem, and also make cleaning easier.

The seemingly invisible nuances in planning the bathroom space

When considering your bathroom design, pay attention to some seemingly inconspicuous details that can ruin everything later. Here is a list of such nuances:

• Check in advance whether there is enough light in the bathtub and mirror area.

• The towel rack doesn't have to be behind the door.

• If the family will soon have or already has small children, it is better to make a high pedestal so that the sink is accessible to them as well.

• Remove the wooden furniture from the bathroom plan.

• Does the bathroom layout require a mirror on the opening door? Then take care of a door opening stop in advance so that the mirror surface remains intact.

• If you are going to place linen and towel cabinets near the bathroom, you will need to take care of ventilation of the room.
