When carrying out repairs in an apartment, it will certainly come to a bathroom with a toilet. If you have some experience, skills and decide to make a do-it-yourself bathroom renovation, first answer a few questions:
The bathroom premise is perhaps the leader among all the others in terms of the number of visits per day, so you need to approach it responsibly and take into account such characteristic nuances as high humidity, steam generation and temperature drops.
The renovation process will begin with the dismantling of old and installation of new water pipes. You should not do this type of work yourself, unless of course you are a professional plumber. Otherwise, you are in for a flood and a lot of trouble. If you decide to do this on your own, buy plastic water and sewer pipes.
For sewer pipes, the connection is made using rubber gaskets, and for water pipes, a soldering iron. After completing the installation, you must check the connections for the possibility of leaks.
The location of communications must be carefully planned in advance so that in the future it does not hinder the progress of work.
Since the bathroom is a very humid room, then the material for surface finishing must be moisture resistant and not be afraid of a sharp change in temperature. You need to rid the walls and ceiling of the previous
If you have a large area, you can sheathe the walls with moisture-resistant plasterboard. Further, the surfaces are covered with a primer, which will also serve as protection against fungal diseases. After final drying, you can proceed to further work. For finishing, you can choose moisture-resistant wallpaper, painting materials or ceramic tiles.
If you have a combined bathroom, you can choose materials for finishing in two colors, thereby visually dividing the space.
The most important condition is compliance with your wishes, taste preferences and, of course, the presence of harmony is important. To lay the tiles, stock up on glue, the tiles themselves, a level and a spatula for applying the mortar. Place the glue on the wrong side of the tile and press it firmly to the surface. Do the same with the rest. Laying should be started in the direction from the floor to the ceiling.
If necessary, the material can be cut with a special tool. When lining the walls, take into account the location of the heated towel rail, which must also be replaced. Choose the battery that you like best, since the assortment in the store is simply huge.
When carrying out repairs yourself, you are solely responsible for the selection of material and design for the room. When separating the ceiling, give preference to moisture resistant plasterboard or plastic panels. These materials are quite simple to install and operate. And their fasteners are made on a metal frame.
When installing, provide holes for mounting lighting fixtures. Feel free to experiment with the color of the ceiling, making it to match the wall decoration.
In apartments with an old layout, the bathroom has a very small area, which needs to be maximized, at least visually.This can be achieved with the help of color schemes and little tricks: use mirrors, they perfectly enlarge the space visually.
Opt for underfloor heating, which is installed with a special electrically heated floor covering, or with hot water pipes (called a water floor).
For flooring, you can use laminate, ceramic tiles, parquet or linoleum.
The main selection criteria are moisture resistance, resistance to temperature changes and the absence of a slippery surface.
Following all the above recommendations, you can carry out an independent repair of the bathroom. However, be prepared for the fact that you will spend a lot of time, however, the result will fully justify your costs.

The washroom seems to be the smallest room in the house, and the hassle is the most. It takes a lot of time to install plumbing. And I already regret that we did not make the bathroom in a retro style. Here in the photo she looks very much even nothing. Everything is done in the style of romanticism. And by the way, we put the washing machine in the kitchen. Nowadays, few people install it in the bathroom.
Do-it-yourself repair of a combined bathroom is a difficult task. And there will be much more difficulties than in the case of separate plumbing rooms. Problems begin with the fact that the number of layout options is limited to a small area, since only a few square meters are usually allocated for a combined bathroom in small apartments.

A reasonable approach is to understand the characteristics of the premises being repaired. It is important to remember that a bathroom is a place with high humidity and frequent temperature changes, and a toilet is a zone of vapors of harmful bioactive substances. Only imagining real conditions, you can decide what additional equipment or furniture will fit into the bathroom after repair. Is it possible to hang a boiler or cabinet without risking such a reduction in space that there will be nothing to breathe - all this is decided based on specific conditions. Before starting, it would be nice to know what problems will arise during the repair and determine the sequence of work.
Not every one of us is a designer who knows how to properly organize a space. But anyone is quite capable of mastering the basics of ergonomics - the science of how, through calculations, to create a comfortable space for living in a limited amount. Then you can avoid an unsuccessful layout, in which two people, if they find themselves in a combined bathroom at the same time, will interfere with each other. It's not bad if decisions are made jointly: more ideas will be proposed, and in practice you can check what constriction is.
A bathroom is a place where you need a solid waterproofing. Therefore, when performing floors, the thickness of the screed should be reduced, while deepening the "pelvis". The presence of harmful compounds of household chemicals in the air requires more attention to the ventilation device and the quality of materials. Technical complexity is a major source of expense. Naturally, there are ways to save money on repairs, but to reasonable limits. A decrease in cost, as a rule, leads to greater labor intensity in the performance of work.
Here is a detailed list of repairs:
binding to the room;
planning of places for plumbing;
choice of plumbing;
development of a communication scheme;
creation of a ventilation project;
design development and selection of finishing materials;
calculation of time spent on repairs;
dismantling of plumbing equipment;
repair of floors;
repair of walls and laying of communications;
installation of furniture;
ceiling repair;
installation of ventilation;
wall and ceiling decoration;
plumbing installation;
door installation.
At this stage of the repair, it is determined where the plumbing will stand, what the approximate layout of communications will be, the level of complexity and the cost of repairs. Plumbing rearrangements are often done in order to accommodate the washing machine. In the Khrushchev buildings of the late 60s, this is only possible when the bathtub is replaced with a shower cabin. But there are also layouts that allow you to outweigh the washbasin, instead of a full-fledged bathtub, put a sitting one and find a place for a washing machine.
The toilet most often remains in its place, since its outlet must be directly connected to the riser. Rare exceptions to this rule are still possible. In any case, the location of the sewerage system predetermines the binding of other objects.
The key rules, following which you can avoid flooding and problems with neighbors, are as follows:
The toilet outlet is connected to a 100 mm pipe that does not taper to a cross, otherwise flooding threatens;
The slope of the pipe coming from the toilet is 100 mm per meter;
Avoid horizontal corners of rigid sewer pipes.
When choosing plumbing, one has to be guided not only by its size, price, but also by design features. A stepped bath can solve the problem of installing a washing machine. In this case, it remains possible to wash while lying down. The drain hose from the washing machine can be lowered into the bath during washing without being puzzled by the connection to the sewer.
The corner toilet is very convenient: it can be installed near the doors, and it will not interfere with opening. But in Khrushchevs, the riser is usually located in the corner, and to connect the toilet not next to the riser, you will have to buy a crosspiece with a side pipe.
Sinks, both tulip and narrow, can fit perfectly into the bathroom and save space. But precise measurements and careful selection are required. Therefore, when going to the store, it is better to arm yourself with a tape measure.
Good ventilation in the combined bathroom is a guarantee of comfort. It can be provided by a powerful automatic fan that turns on at the specified temperature and humidity.
For the air flow, you will have to mount a grate in the door, or, when installing the sewer, place a piece of pipe in the wall combined with the kitchen. Both options have their drawbacks: it is usually cool in the corridor where the bathroom door goes out, and extraneous odors can be drawn from the kitchen.
In the design of the combined bathroom, the areas of the bathroom and toilet should not clearly contrast. The design of the toilet is decisive. Mirror tiles, mirrors and other ways to increase space look very advantageous. But installing screens, if you want to make zoning, is not the best way out with a small room.
The division of the bathroom into zones is determined by their functions: washroom, sanitary and bathing. In elongated bathrooms, their linear arrangement is recommended, and in square ones - radial. With a classic linear design, a bathtub is located in the corner farthest from the entrance, then, closer to the door, a toilet and a sink. When planning the distribution of zones, one should not forget about the primacy of binding to communications, otherwise a complex installation of pipes and crosses may be required.
The choice of materials is determined by the quality required for the finishing of the bathrooms. It is better not to save on materials, since the operating conditions in a combined bathroom are more difficult than in a separate bathroom and toilet.
The main thing when installing floors is good hydro and thermal insulation. It can be provided thanks to self-leveling two-layer floors.
Installation of electrical equipment is possible only outside, and lighting devices must be waterproof.
For walls and ceilings, only moisture-resistant materials are applicable: ceramic tiles or laminate without lathing.
Do-it-yourself repair of a combined bathroom requires experience, skill and a thoughtful approach. The functional component in the planning and execution of work is the main one.As for design and aesthetics, they are subject to real conditions and cannot be put at the forefront.

When you move into a new apartment, there is a very natural desire to make it the home of your dreams and change everything there. Actually, this was the case with me too - I moved to a one-room apartment, which probably saw the renovation in the Brezhnev era. So, at the entrance we have an apartment with a separate bathroom and toilet, but very small.
These are the tiny spaces that are called “not to unfold”. Therefore, we decided to combine a bath with a toilet. We have two advantages at once:
the bathroom becomes more spacious
instead of two doors in the corridor there will be one, which means additional space in the corridor, which is also small.
This is what we have in the bathroom: small tiles on the floor, tiles, metal-plastic pipes, a partition between the bathroom and the toilet - brickwork. We cleaned the walls as much as possible of tiles and a layer of paint. The sink was removed, it must be replaced, but the bath was left, it is cast iron and in good condition.
The ceilings in the apartment are multi-level, a niche is hidden under the plywood, although it was quite possible to make a cabinet. However, now this is irrelevant, we will change the location of the door.
Such a mosaic tile adorned the walls of the toilet, this one cannot be found now.
Branch of risers from the toilet to the bath. The pipes, as we can see, in this old house have been replaced with new ones.
The red brick partition is decorated with a decent layer of plaster - 3-4 cm, we knock down all this "wealth". We will dismantle the wall. This brick is still useful to us.
We diligently knock down this entire thick layer of plaster, remove the fiberboard panel with which the pipes in the toilet were sewn up. We closed the toilet itself so as not to clog it up. As you can see, there is enough dirt!
We work in the old fashioned way, with a wide chisel and a hammer. All this work could have been done with a puncher, but we did not have one. All materials are already old, so plaster and tiles are easily knocked off.
This wall was hidden behind a layer of plaster and tiles.
The most difficult thing was to remove all this "beauty", as we can see, the workers did not regret the mixture.
The walls are uneven - at the ceiling, the thickness of the plaster layer reached as much as 6 cm.
We shoot down everything, we remove the lamp.
This is how the wall opposite to the partition looks like, it is also brick. We knock out the ventilation grill, put a new one in its place.
Now, finally, the most interesting thing - we dismantle the partition between the bathroom and the toilet, the bricks, as I said, we keep, they are in good condition, so why spend money on extra materials. We store whole bricks in the bathroom.
This is what we get in the end, when all the garbage has been removed, the wall and the door frame of the toilet have been knocked out, there will be a wall here.
There will be minor difficulties with the new floor, because there is a decent difference between the bathroom floor and the toilet floor, see how the stool is crooked.
Now this difference must be leveled as much as possible, with a hammer and a chisel we knock down everything unnecessary, remove two layers of tiles in the toilet.
See how much space will be in the bathroom combined with the toilet, there will be space for both the sink and the washing machine.
There is a lot of work with the floor in the toilet: check out which layer you have to remove, almost ten centimeters, to the very foundation.
We are preparing a place for the future wall, there used to be a door here, but there will be a wall, in the toilet in this place it will be possible to place a cabinet or shelves for accessories. An excellent solution for such a small apartment.
We arm ourselves with a trowel and a cement-sand mixture and erect a new wall. Do not forget to use a level so that the wall is even.
View of the new wall from inside the toilet. Simultaneously with laying out the wall itself, we close up the cracks. An old bathroom door frame serves as a wall border. Subsequently, we will break the old box and put a new door.
This is how the work goes: broken bricks are also used, they can be inserted into large cracks, and then covered with a mixture.
Outside view: this is how much space to add in the corridor due to the fact that there will be no door. In a small area, every centimeter of roads.
The lamp was attached to the wall, but for now it just hangs from the ceiling. In the distance, you can see the niche between the slab and the ceiling. Of course, it would be possible to make a locker, but we abandoned this idea, it will be too high and very unlikely to be used often.
We close it up with a brick, cover up the cracks. The old brick was not enough, so I had to buy a new one.
now it's time to disassemble the shaft with the riser. Everything had to be done very carefully so as not to turn off the toilet and not disrupt communications. After all, it's not easy to live without a toilet.
They dismantled everything down to the pipes. There's a hole in the floor. To prevent the old cast-iron pipe from falling, we reinforce the floor with fittings, put boxes on the meters so that they do not suffer during repair work.
We close the hole at the site of the mine with a cement-sand mixture.
Level the floor between the bathroom and toilet.
We dismantle the toilet. We sew up a pipe riser. To do this, we needed metal profiles and the most common foam plates - it is cheap and absorbs excess water noise. We leave the revision window for access to the counters. We seal all the cracks with polyurethane foam. The pipes for the heated towel rail are immediately brought out.
We insert a new corrugation for the toilet. Before that, it was cast-iron, and now it is movable plastic, which means that there will be no problems with installing a new toilet.
We sew up the riser with plasterboard sheets. We make serifs on the walls so that the finishing materials hold better.
Here is such an ideal riser we end up with. It seems that the entire wall is sewn up, but this is not so - here you can see a hidden hatch so that we can have access to the plumbing system. For this we came in handy awnings for furniture and a push mechanism for the door.
Now you can go back to the floor, now it can be finally leveled to get rid of that unfortunate drop. Our helpers in this are a cement-sand mixture and a spatula. We leave to dry.
Because our walls are very uneven. They will have to be properly leveled and an impressive layer of plaster is indispensable. We install metal beacons for plastering, we will lose a couple of centimeters of space, but we have to sacrifice so that the walls are perfectly even.
We prime the surface, this is necessary in order to strengthen the wall itself (do not forget that the brick is very old) and this will improve the adhesion to the finishing material.
Plastering process. As we can observe, the layer is impressive, 3-4 centimeters.
Due to the fact that we have installed beacons, we can see which layer needs to be applied.
This is how it looks in the end. Let it dry.
We cover the entire surface of the walls with plaster, then we prime.
We pass to the floor. Our floor will be tiled with square tiles diagonally. This tiling method is not easy, but worth it. This arrangement visually increases the space, and because we have a small bathroom, we will try to add volume at least visually.
Before starting to lay the tiles, we prepared the surface - leveled it, repaired all the holes and potholes on the walls and floor, primed it. The primer improves the adhesion of the tiles to the floor. After applying the primer, let it dry.
Here is such a handsome floor we got in the end. Light-colored tiles again add space, and thanks to the pattern, dirt and drops are not visible on it.
It's time to remove the old door frame and install a new door. We dismantle the thresholds.
We collect a new door frame and install it in the opening. To prevent the door beams from bending, we put wooden wedges between the wall and the box.
The bases of the box themselves were fixed with metal corners. The outside wall of the bathroom is also plastered.
The door is the simplest, made of chipboard. Firstly, such a door is inexpensive and is quite suitable for our interior. We hang it on the hinges. Then we carefully foame all the seams and cracks between the box and the wall.
New toilet - new toilet. Installed in place of the old one. Now we move on to preparing the walls for laying out the tiles. Our tools are a spray gun, which is very convenient for priming walls, simple and comb spatulas, crosses. I fixed the level on the wall, it will serve us as a starting profile.
We knead the tile glue. He will check whether he is ready very easily - we take a trowel or a spatula and scoop it up: if it does not drain immediately and does not fall off in a piece. So the consistency is ideal, if it's too liquid, add the glue mixture, if it's thick - water.
On the wall, we have already pre-made notches for better adhesion of the walls and tiles and covered with concrete contact, for the same purpose. We draw marks for the tiles, we check everything with a level.
We begin to lay out the support row, do not forget to use the suture crosses, they guarantee that there will be no distortions.
We do the same manipulations with the other wall - we check whether the walls are vertical with a plumb line, fix the starting level.
This wall is the most difficult - here we have communications. Here you have to break your head how best to arrange the tiles, which did not have to cut a lot. We lay out a decorative border, we have it as a guide - where there is no profile (above the taps), a board was attached under the tiles so that the tiles would not slide off.
With a diamond drill we drill a hole for the wiring, bring out the wires - here we will have a lamp.
Another difficult area is the space above the door, there is no support row here, so in order for the tile not to move, we will use good old scotch tape.
As you can see, we do not lay out the tiles up to the ceiling itself, there will then be a suspended ceiling, so we leave 5 cm.
We rub the tile joints.
Our tiles are in two shades of beige. Lighter tiles on the top and darker ones on the bottom help to visually increase the space.
It's time to install a new heated towel rail. Mark the holes for the fasteners and drill them.
Installing a heated towel rail is not an easy task; to mount it, you have to install a hook in the ceiling and hang it.
The holes on the wall are made, we report the tiles and in the same places we make holes already in the tiles itself.
Now it remains to lay out non-whole tiles in the corner.
We complete the styling process. In order not to confuse the cut tiles, we number them, which greatly facilitates the work.
Another way to save space in a tiny bathroom is to flush the pipes into the wall. First, cuts were made with a grinder, and then with a chisel, a chisel and a hammer, the grooves were hollowed out, where the pipes were placed. A new mixer was installed.
Now you need to make holes in the tile itself. To do this, we will use a special crown for drilling round holes. We install it on a drill and at low speeds in a couple of minutes we get a neat hole.
We glue the tiles, rub. No more pipes will disfigure our bathroom.
This is how our bath looks at this stage. We install the ventilation grill.
Alas, the pictures end there, but the renovation does not. It remains for us to arrange the ceiling. This will be an aluminum slat suspended ceiling. As we already said, our main task is to expand the space as much as possible, so we chose a glossy rail.
Spot lighting helped us make the bathroom very light and therefore spacious. Then we hung up a new sink, the space under the bathtub was covered with a special color-matched plastic screen.
As a result, we made a great transformation of the bathroom and got additional space, both in the bathroom itself and in the hallway. In the vacant space, you can put a washing machine and hang shelves. The renovation turned out to be budgetary, we used to the maximum what was still quite suitable (brick, bath) and chose the most inexpensive materials.
Massive construction of compact but uncomfortable housing began in the late 50s and continued until the 70s of the last century. This made it possible for many families to get apartments, but today they need renovation and redevelopment, taking into account modern construction and technical capabilities.
"Khrushchevs" were built from reinforced concrete slabs or bricks. The peculiarities of such buildings can be considered tiny rooms and almost Spartan conditions in the use of toilets and bathrooms. Rectangular bowls were about 150x180 cm in size, square - 170x170 cm. Often there were irregular bathrooms with a total area of 3-4 square meters. meters. The ceilings did not exceed 2.5 m in height.
Ventilation in the bathrooms goes to the centralized air duct. The thermal insulation of the load-bearing walls is insufficient, and if the toilet or bathroom has an external wall, it is cold to be in them during the winter.
One-room apartments had a shared bathroom. In three-room rooms, a light wall separated the bathroom from the toilet. The bathroom was so narrow that it only held a toilet. The bathtub, sink and narrow passage were typical examples of the bathroom interior. A place for a washing machine was not planned. Nowadays, many residents voluntarily combine both territories and receive precious meters for modern plumbing.
Combined bathrooms in "Khrushchevs" did not always have a square or rectangular shape, there were peculiar configurations. The deformation of the room took place in favor of storage rooms or narrow corridors, in order to increase them to the level of furniture carry-over.
Designers for many years of work with such premises have developed certain rules for creating stylish interiors in them.
Initially, drawings are made and the dimensions of the available area are applied, a list of building materials is formed with an indication of prices. After drawing up the project, repairs are carried out. A sketch is made again with the designation of plumbing and furniture. Sometimes, in order to place a bathtub, you have to go deeper into the wall, change the location of the drain, arrange light partitions or move the front door. All changes are made to the project.
In a room with a square layout, the bathtub can be placed anywhere. In rectangular rooms, it is better to select one of the short walls for it, and put the rest of the plumbing under the long one. Sometimes they make a built-in bath or decorate it with tiles, it merges with the finish and does not seem oversized. For some interiors, a corner or drop-shaped bath is used. This solution helps to free up an extra corner. Complete with such a bathroom, a corner toilet and a sink look beautiful and peculiar.
For those who are accustomed to taking a shower on the go, the bathroom can be dispensed with. There are many sleek shapes of shower stalls with space-saving door opening methods. Those who like to shower in comfort should opt for boxing. Such plumbing includes the functions of a sauna, tropical rain, hydromassage, Turkish bath and more. To please all family members, choose a bathtub combined with a shower.
In confined spaces, you can purchase a small but deep washbasin or choose a narrow shape depending on the layout of the surrounding space. If there is very little space, the sink is partially pushed over the bath. In some cases, it is placed directly above the drop tub on the narrow side. The flat washbasins can be combined with a vanity unit or with a washing machine.In very cramped conditions, the bath takes over the role of the sink.
This is a metal structure that is mounted into a wall or a partition is made with its help. All communication pipes are hidden in such a module, a toilet, bidet, and sink are attached to it. The lattice is hidden behind a glass wall or masked with a finishing material. The plumbing on the installation comes straight out of the wall and looks like floating in the air, and it is easy to clean underneath.
The best option for small rooms would be the installation toilet. The absence of a tank and a drain pipe frees up space. Sometimes the toilet becomes angular, this allows you not to rest against the walls and rationally take the corner. In some layouts, it is installed right next to the door (under the same wall with it), which significantly saves space. The bidet is placed next to the toilet. If necessary, in such a duet, a large wall is chosen for them.
If it was not possible to install the washing machine under the sink, it is better to place it next to it. So it will be possible to use the surface of the machine instead of a curbstone, laying out cosmetics or shaving accessories on it.
Hanging furniture is chosen for small rooms. It takes its place above the bathtub, sink or washing machine. Often they mount shelves, whatnots above the toilet.
The listed plumbing can only be equipped in shared rooms. Divided rooms are too small to accommodate everything you need.
The choice of materials for wall cladding in small bathrooms is limited. The most commonly used tiles, PVC wall panels, waterproof latex-based acrylic paint.
Tile belongs to natural materials and is more expensive than synthetic ones. Its durability, wear resistance significantly exceeds the similar qualities of plastic panels. Sometimes, in order to reduce the cost of the project, they resort to combining - the tiles are used around the bathtub and sink, the rest of the walls are painted with water-repellent paint or decorated with decorative plaster. In small rooms with high humidity, evaporation from hot water collected in the bathtub settles literally everywhere: on walls, furniture, mirrors. The tile is easy to wipe, its appearance will not change. Plaster can behave quite differently from daily condensation. If the renovation is done for many years, it is better to use tiles in small rooms.
Reflective surfaces are known to expand space. To create a similar effect, glossy tiles are laid on the walls. Rough structures will fit on the floor, they slow down sliding. The ceiling can also be tiled, but other materials are usually selected for it.
The panels completely imitate tiles, and sometimes brick and wood. They are not as durable as ceramics, but they look good in small spaces. To finish the combined bathroom, the walls are carefully leveled, glue is applied to the surface and pasted over with wall panels.
To decorate the ceiling, a metal profile is used, on which the plates are mounted. They are lightweight, breathable and retain condensation.
Polyvinyl chloride can be called a universal remedy; it is suitable not only for wall and ceiling cladding. Plates from it cover the space under the bathroom, lay out niches, mask pipes, air ducts. PVC panels are an economical and practical option for rooms with high humidity.
The design of a small combined bathroom should work for the amount of space. There are various techniques to accomplish this task. The room should be decorated with reflective surfaces: mirrors, shiny tiles, stretch ceiling with a glossy surface. In small rooms, you need to use a small ornament, mosaic. To expand the space, horizontal lines are used in wall decoration. To "raise" the ceiling, a vertical pattern is used.Miniature rooms cannot be loaded with small things, they destroy space. For such bathrooms, style directions with clear lines and minimal decor are recommended, which can provide simplicity and spaciousness to the room.
The style of the room is chosen before the renovation is made. Expensive and pretentious styles such as baroque and rococo are not suitable for small bathrooms. Simple budget options are acceptable. They can be extravagant, bright, or delicate, but they are quite capable of doing without gilding and natural stone.
Style-provocateur with a claim to sensation, elevating consumer goods to the rank of art. A discreet finish is selected, against which bright images of unexpected scenes seem defiant. Such interiors are decorated with posters, paintings or panels. In this case, portraits of monkeys and a shell are the accents that form the theme of pop art.
This style organizes a small space rationally. Laconic, serene, with clear geometric proportions. Natural materials are used in the decoration of the bathroom. The interior is simple, functional, graphic and orderly, which corresponds to the Japanese worldview.
The direction is ideal for small combined bathrooms. Several discreet colors are used, the minimum amount of decor. Practicality, simplicity and lack of trifles make the room functional and pleasant to look at.
This style is for those who cannot perceive the cold minimalist direction and are trying to bring comfort even to a small bathroom. Tenderness with elements of the past is characteristic of shabby chic. This style uses only natural materials, aged furniture and cozy little things in creating the interior, which are not recommended for tiny rooms, but they create an atmosphere of comfort.

Scandinavian style works well for small bathrooms and toilets. It is simple and easy to perform, no frills, but pleasant and peaceful. A reverent attitude towards the marine theme has formed preferences in the choice of light blue, pale green colors along with an abundance of white. Natural materials are used in the interior, the presence of wood is obligatory. Things are stored on shelves in boxes, baskets, cans.
