Bathroom furnishings

Mcooker: best recipes About home and comfort

Bathroom furnishingsWho of us has not sunk into the head since childhood: "Suddenly from my mother's bedroom, bow-legged and lame, a washbasin runs out ..." Today, washstands are not installed in bedrooms. Place him in the bathroom. This is no longer a washstand or, as it was also called in the old days, a washstand. The sanitary and hygienic equipment of a modern apartment is a complex technical unit, including a sink, bath, shower, toilet, bidet. Tiles, nickel, enamel, plastic of light, joyful tones create an atmosphere of purity and freshness.

At first glance, it may seem that the bathroom is a complete, unalterable block. This opinion is only partially true. Yes, we get a lot ready-made, but we also need to spend our own personal work to bring the bathroom to a comfortable state. A dirty, shabby bathroom is annoying. And it is in any case undesirable for family life.

In the design of modern houses there are more than two dozen options for the layout of sanitary and hygienic equipment, but everyday practice reduces it to three: a separate type, combined and an option with two toilets, found in multi-room apartments. The combined bathroom is not very popular, although experts insist that it is the most economical for a one-room apartment and may well suit a family of two. The separate option - that is, the toilet is separate from the bath - still suits us more.

What are we doing in the bathroom? We wash, bathe, shave, wash clothes, dry them, brushing teeth, comb our hair, tint, apply cosmetics, do massage, store things, place hygiene products, develop photographic film and print photographs. For all these activities, you need to adapt the bathroom if possible.

... underneath herself
the bathroom splashed.
Soaped
at the beginning and went:
scrubbing and wetting.

These lines are from Mayakovsky's poem "The Flying Proletarian". Well, probably, inventors and designers don't think about the fact that the bath itself "scrubbed" and "wetted" us; our bath amenities are linked to other parameters.
To call a bathtub comfortable, it must have a length of at least 170 centimeters, then it will be comfortable to lie in it. Sometimes sitz baths are used, they are less convenient, but save space. An indispensable bathroom accessory is a shower.

In order not to worry about the safety of the walls, it is imperative to cover them (if this, of course, was not provided for by the project) with ceramic tiles. Colored, with a pattern, it will make the bathroom elegant, fun. Bathtub and wall joints must be reliably insulated with special corner tiles or, at worst, Cement mortar, otherwise water will get under the bathroom, and it is almost impossible to get to it to wipe it off. Meanwhile, the water can flow into the lower apartment - then explain to your neighbors in a raised voice. Better to avoid this.

The walls above the tiles and the ceiling are usually painted with water-based paint. There is a desire - you can paste over them with oilcloth.

From the outside of the bath, the wall looks beautiful. It can be made of simple bricks or tiled with the same ceramic tiles. Just do not forget to provide access to plumbing equipment in case of repair. This wall can also be made as a cabinet with sliding doors. It is convenient to store detergents, preparations for cleaning and disinfection, brushes for cleaning the bathtub in it.

The bathtub should be covered with a curtain. This, firstly, will protect the floor from splashes, and secondly, it will bring beauty to the interior. Beauty arises if, instead of a whitish polyethylene curtain, you hang a film with a pattern.Tulle or fine mesh synthetic mesh is suitable for curtains - they are also able to withstand splashes. The top can be strengthened lambricin... An unusual option: a curtain in the form of a screen, made of used felt-tip pens. They are strung on a string and form a curious pattern.

On the wall, in a convenient place for the person lying in the bath, a shelf for soap, pumice, shampoo, hooks for washcloths. For added safety, it doesn't hurt to attach a handle to the wall to hold on to when entering and exiting the bath.

The washbasin is fixed next to the bath. It is better if it has a separate faucet for the bath and washbasin. A soap shelf is attached 10-15 centimeters above the sink.

There is also a holder or a cup for toothbrushes.

Above, at a level of 100-120 centimeters from the floor, a shelf on which combs, brushes, shaving accessories, cosmetics, deodorant, eau de toilette, cologne, manicure supplies, creams, lotions ... Just one listing indicates the size of the shelf: it would be good for it not to be too small. Unfortunately, industrial design manufacturers do not take this into account; they put out tiny shelves. Therefore, it is better to do this piece of bathroom furnishings yourself, make sure that the shelf does not turn out to be too bulky - in this case, it will interfere with washing.

Bathroom furnishingsNext to the washbasin - brackets, hooks, towel rings. All this on two levels - adult and child.

It is better to hang bathrobes on the door, they will stand out with a colored spot.

The space under the sink, due to the pipes, the siphon, usually has a sloppy appearance. It is better to hide all this economy in a bedside table. Making it takes patience, but the neat look of this corner will reward you. If you get a taste, you can build a small platform that slides out of the bedside table. Children stand on it while washing. If there is no such platform, then you will have to keep a small bench for the children. Well, the bedside table is a convenient container for storing all kinds of equipment: brushes, rags; small basins can also fit in it. If you are the owner of the "Baby" washing machine, then this cabinet will be convenient for her too.

The bathroom, if it is spacious, contains a washing machine. It can have bright plastic basins on it. You need to provide a place to hang the hoses and cord.

Women are increasingly acquiring hair dryer... Place it in a special cabinet where you can also put curlers. It would be nice to highlight in it a shelf for medicines, iodine, bandage, cotton wool.

It is necessary to provide a place in the bathroom for storing dirty linen. This can be a box, the top of which will serve as a seat. There should be holes in the walls of the box for ventilation. If there is a washing machine in the bathroom, then the dirty linen is stored in it.

Recently, various massage devices and designs have become widespread. And they can find a place for themselves in the bathroom. As well as scales for control of own weight.

A mirror is an essential piece of bathroom equipment. It is hung over the washbasin. Its dimensions are optional. Rectangular significantly increases the volume of the room. Round or oval looks attractive. Well, a large mirror, mounted on the wall along the bath, is able to miraculously transform a small room: it will look more spacious and festive. An unexpected option: instead of ceramic tiles, rectangles or squares from a mirror are attached to the wall. Believe me, this design will create an amazing effect.

Bathrooms of the latest samples are equipped with dryers. These are pipes through which hot water circulates. The thing is undoubtedly comfortable, but, apart from a couple of towels, nothing will fit on the pipes. Therefore, you need to think about how to dry your washed laundry. For this purpose, rope or plastic strings are pulled. But sliding metal or wooden looks better. design.It is necessary to have it even if the apartment has a balcony or loggia, although, of course, it is more convenient to dry linen there.

A rug should be thrown onto the floor. It will be pleasant to get up on it after taking a bath or shower. Plastic is not a bad material for him. But better and more pleasant is a wooden lattice.
