Mood depends on the space. In fact, our day begins and ends with a trip to the toilet and bathroom, which means that these rooms simply have to be beautiful and comfortable. You should not be frivolous about the design and planning of the bathroom because it will be difficult to change it later. A large number of communications, expensive finishing materials do not leave room for error. Especially if it is a bathroom combined with a toilet.

This article describes the specific features of such a layout and how to make the interior of the combined bathroom a cozy, aesthetic, functional.

Combined bathroom

It is difficult to say how justified the idea of ​​combining a bathroom with a toilet. During the Soviet construction of small housing it was necessary to save every square centimeter of space. Nowadays, combining a bathroom with a toilet remains very popular.

On the one hand, such a layout has undoubted advantages:

• effective area increases;
• less finishing materials are consumed;
• expanding the possibilities for developing a stylish bathroom interior;
• two small rooms are combined into one spacious.

The main disadvantage is that a combined bathroom cannot be used by several people at once.
If the owners decide to combine the bathroom with a toilet, then the disadvantages include all the inconveniences associated with long-term repairs in functional rooms, and the need to legitimize the redevelopment.

Bathroom layout

Toilet and bathroom have completely different functional purpose. Therefore, when planning the interior of a small bathroom combined with a toilet, it is important to consider some nuances:

• A bathroom with a toilet is a place for relaxation and hygiene, whereas the purpose of a toilet is connected exclusively with the physiological needs of a person. Harmoniously combining in a small space everything that is necessary to implement these functions is not an easy task;
• the presence of unwanted odors from the toilet in combination with changes in humidity and temperature in the bathroom requires a more powerful ventilation system;
• the bathroom is basically the number of apartments, even when combined, this is a close, closed space.

The location of all elements of the interior of the bathroom should be thought out to the smallest detail so that they can be used without problems.

There are clear standards for the minimum free space in front of the main elements in the bathrooms:

The minimum distance between the bidet and the toilet 25 cm, between the toilet to any sanitary device - 20 cm.

Doors open only outside. They should not go into the rooms and the kitchen.

The layout and design of the bathroom, combined with the toilet, dictates the shape of the room. If the bathroom is rectangular, it is better to put a bath near a short wall, and a sink and a toilet - along a long one. In a narrow bathroom it is more reasonable to install a shower cabin.
The square room is easier to plan, it is more spacious.

Small bathroom design

The optimum area of ​​the bathroom combined with a toilet is 7-9 square meters. Unfortunately, bathrooms in Khrushchev and Stalin are very far from these indicators. But even tiny rooms with an area of ​​2 sq.m are not hopeless - the secrets of designers will help the owners of small bathrooms:

• shower instead of bath or shower. You can install a special tray and separate the shower with a glass partition or curtain. Using clear glass instead of frosted visually increases the space;
• plumbing non-standard sizes. Plumbing manufacturers produce compact plumbing for small apartments and even universal kits, which consist of several items, such as a shower with a sink, a toilet with a sink and a bedside table;
• maximum use of corners (corner sinks, showers, furniture);
• activating the space above the entrance door, the space under the sink (shelves, cabinets, storage niches);
• narrow washing machine with a vertical load;
• wall decoration with mirrors or mirror tiles. Designers advise you to place wide horizontal mirrors in very cramped rooms;
• calm light colors;
• mosaic; a tile of size 20 cm x 20 cm and less: square, rectangular, in the form of honeycombs. It will help to increase the space laying of different tiles at different levels;
• bright lighting; works fine additional lighting mirrors;
• photo wallpaper with perspective images (bridge, road, going away; any images that blur the boundaries of the room);
• decor elements (paintings, photo frames, candles). They balance the interior, give it a finished look. Particularly advantageous will look bright color accents in bright interiors, the main thing - to comply with the measure.

Modern bathroom interior

Combined bathrooms are great platforms for the realization of the most daring design ideas. With the help of modern finishing materials of different colors, textures can be played with space, and the lack of natural lighting allows you to create interesting lighting effects.

1. Comfortable ergonomic layout
   Functional combined bathroom and toilet involves the allocation of three parts: the toilet area, bathing area, wash area. In addition to partitions, interesting solutions are used for zoning - dividing the space with the help of lighting, materials of different textures. Particularly impressive multi-level ceiling and floor.
2. Colors, decor
   For decoration of tight spaces, cool light colors are best suited. If the room is large, it is allowed to experiment with bright saturated colors or use discreet dark tones. Shades of blue emphasize the cleanliness of the room, but make it more "cold." Warm bright colors - yellow, orange, green, red, yellow - will create a cozy atmosphere and will be energized in the morning. Warm and cold tones perfectly set off each other, helping to create beautiful harmonious interiors. White color in the interior is good as a background for the original decor. Tasteful accessories and cute knick-knacks make the interior truly homely.
3. Specific style
   The bathroom is an excellent field for experiments. To develop the interior of the combined bathroom fit almost any style.
   The design of spacious bathrooms often uses a classic style, its main elements are beige, golden, brown. A characteristic feature is an elevated bath. Beautiful rooms, made in nautical style. The color scheme is white, blue, turquoise, blue. You can personally add decoration with sea stones and shells.
   Fertile soil for the application of design talents - Provence style with an abundance of parts from textiles, wood, dried flowers. The bathroom in the old style, decorated with stone, wood, and ceramics, looks unusual. Retro-style suggests the presence of a cast-iron bath with legs, plumbing fixtures made of brass, vintage accessories.
   Hi-tech, minimalism, modern are ideal for the design of small spaces. These styles are quite restrained, do not assume an abundance of details. High-tech style involves the use of metal, gloss, mirrors.
4. Lighting
   Lighting is one of the main tools for creating style, especially in a small-sized bathroom. With the help of lighting devices, you can divide the room into several functional zones, visually increase its size. Excellent lighting function - brightness control.

Review of materials

Independent repair of a bathroom combined with a toilet is a responsible and difficult task.
The specificity of the premises implies the availability of professional knowledge and skills. When developing the layout, it is necessary to consider the location of the risers, water pipes, ventilation shaft. Every detail should be carefully thought out, because changing the location of the shower is not the same as moving a wardrobe or sofa.

There are computer programs for designing bathrooms. The program will help to create a model and calculate the consumption of materials. Designs of bathrooms combined with a toilet are widely presented on specialized sites.

But the wiring of communications and the installation of plumbing is still better to entrust experts.

The main stages of repair:

• developing a floor plan and a project for plumbing and electrical communications;
• design development;
• selection of materials and equipment;
• room preparation (dismantling of old equipment, cleaning, repair of walls, floor, ceilings);
• laying communications;
• installation of the ventilation system;
• decoration of walls, floors, ceilings;
• installation of plumbing;
• installation of lighting devices;
• placement of furniture, storage systems;
• replacement or installation of the front door.

The quality of materials for finishing the bathroom, combined with a toilet, you should not save. Constant temperature changes, high humidity, frequent exposure to detergents and cleaning products complicate the operation of the room.

Decoration Materials

The most budget option for repair is PVC panels. They are easy to maintain, but they "steal" space (5-10 cm on each side). The use of wood also has its drawbacks - it has to be further processed to protect it from dampness and unpleasant odors.
More difficult to install and use materials - stone, paint, wallpaper, decorative plaster, stone, mirror tiles and mosaics. They are much more expensive, but their popularity is constantly growing.
The most common finishing material is tile. The choice of colors, patterns and textures is huge, just like the price range.

Floor coverings

Ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles are optimal for use in bathrooms. These are durable materials that are resistant to moisture, practical. Bulk floor is indispensable in exclusive interiors (3D-effect), has no drawbacks, except for the high cost, long, complex installation. The most expensive and beautiful material is natural wood (teak, larch).
Vinyl floor is used for economical repairs. But this material has many flaws, especially fragility.

Plumbing equipment

The main thing in the bathroom is the bath itself. The bath serves as a place for bathing and relaxation, sets the tone in the interior of the room, so do not spare any time searching for it. If appearance is important, then you need to pay attention to acrylic bathrooms of various shapes - round, angular, curly. Baths of acrylic and glass are very beautiful. Good old cast-iron baths are comfortable and reliable. Cheap baths are made of plastic or metal.

As for the shower, the choice is great. Open inexpensive cabins will fit better into a small-sized bathroom, closed cabins are suitable for large bathrooms.
Plumbing products are so widely represented on the market that it is easy to find a quality model that is suitable in design and size.
