How to equip a small bathroom

A large bathroom for owners of small apartments will always remain a dream, but this is not a reason to be upset, because even in a small room you can create comfortable conditions for a charge of morning vivacity, and for evening relaxation. Of course, such a drawback as a small area, even the most skilled designers, is difficult to turn into a virtue, but a few tricks when arranging a small bathroom will help to visually expand the room and make it as functional as possible.

So, first you need to determine what kind of furniture and plumbing are needed in the first place, and what you can refuse. Here are some tips for choosing and arranging furniture that can help save room space:

large roomy cabinets in a small room will be inappropriate, it is better to replace them with shallow cabinets and pencil cases;
superfluous elements of the sanitary equipment, such as a trouble or an urinal, it is necessary to refuse at all;
you have to choose between a bathroom and a shower. Here you need to proceed from habits, and remember that the cabin will take a minimum of space, but you can no longer soak in the foam or take a soothing bath with oils, although a bathroom with a shower counter and a curtain can be a good alternative;
Having estimated the area and location of the door to optimize the usable space, you can choose a small corner bathroom, and under it make shelves for various household chemicals;
if there is a niche in the room, you need to use it one hundred percent, for example, place a pencil case with sliding doors or a washing machine in it, because you will agree that when it is in the kitchen and dirty laundry is collected in the bathroom, this is not very convenient.

Placing a washing machine in a small bathroom

as already mentioned, you can put it in a niche, and take up the rest of the space with shelves for various little things;
a compact washing machine can be placed under the washbasin with side drain - a non-standard option, but in terms of space saving it is very effective;
the washing machine can be placed next to the washbasin, and for a harmonious look, combine them with a single worktop, in this case it will be easy to attach a huge mirror to the wall above the countertop, which will visually expand the bathroom.

Arrangement of furniture in a small bathroom is a very important stage of arrangement, but it is equally important to pay due attention to lighting, color scheme and other optical techniques that will create the illusion of a spacious room.
