Carrying out repairs in the apartment, it will certainly come to the bathroom with a toilet. If you have certain experience, skills and decide to do your own bathroom renovation, answer a few questions first:
The bathroom room, perhaps, is the leader among all the others in terms of the number of visits per day, therefore, its arrangement must be approached responsibly and take into account such characteristic nuances as high humidity, steam formation and temperature changes.
The process of repair work will begin with the dismantling of old and installation of new water pipes. Do not do this type of work yourself, unless of course you are a professional plumber. Otherwise, you will face a flood and a lot of trouble. If you decide to do this yourself, buy plastic water and sewer pipes.
For sewer pipes, the connection is made with rubber gaskets, and for plumbing - with a soldering iron. After the installation is completed, it is necessary to 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 slow down the progress of work.
Since the bathroom is a very humid room, the surface finishing material must also be moisture resistant and not be afraid of a sudden change in temperature. You need to rid the walls and ceiling of the previous
If there is a large area, you can sheathe the walls with moisture-resistant drywall. Next, the surfaces are covered with a primer, which will also serve as protection against fungal diseases. After the final drying, you can proceed to further work. For finishing, you can choose moisture-resistant wallpaper, paint 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 tile itself, a level and a spatula for applying the mortar. Glue the underside of the tile and press it firmly to the surface. Do the same with the rest. Laying should begin in the direction from the floor to the ceiling.
If necessary, the material can be cut using a special tool. Facing the walls, consider the location of the heated towel rail, which is also subject to replacement. Choose the battery that you like the most, since the assortment in the store is simply huge.
With independent repairs, only you are responsible for the selection of material and design for the room. In the ceiling section, give preference to moisture-resistant drywall or plastic panels. These materials are quite simple to install and operate. And their fastening is carried out on a metal frame.
When installing, provide holes for mounting lighting fixtures. Do not be afraid to experiment with the color of the ceiling, making it match the wall decoration.
In the apartments of the 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 small tricks: use mirrors, they perfectly increase the space visually.
Opt for underfloor heating, which is installed with a special electrically heated floor, or with hot water pipes (so-called 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, get ready for the fact that you will spend a lot of time, however, the result will fully justify your costs.

The restroom seems to be the smallest room in the house, and the trouble is the most. A lot of time is spent on the installation of plumbing. And I already regret that we did not make a bathroom in retro style. Here in the photo she looks very personal. I have everything done in the style of romanticism. And by the way, we placed the washing machine in the kitchen. Now few people install it in the bathroom.
Repairing a combined bathroom with your own hands is a difficult task. And there will be much more difficulties than in the case of separate sanitary facilities. The 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 an understanding of the features of the renovated premises. It is important to remember that the bathroom is a place with high humidity and frequent temperature changes, and the toilet is a zone of evaporation of harmful bioactive substances. Only by imagining the real conditions, you can decide what additional equipment or furniture will be installed in the bathroom after the repair. Is it possible to hang a boiler or cabinet without risking reducing the space so much that there will be nothing to breathe - all this is decided on the basis of specific conditions. Before proceeding, 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 space. But anyone is quite capable of mastering the basics of ergonomics - the science of how, thanks to calculations, to create a comfortable space for living in a limited volume. Then you can avoid an unsuccessful layout, in which two people, if they are 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 tightness is.
The bathroom is a place where thorough waterproofing is needed. Therefore, when performing floors, it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the screed, 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 the main source of costs. Naturally, there are ways to save on repairs, but up to reasonable limits. Reducing the cost, as a rule, leads to greater labor intensity in the performance of work.
Here is a detailed list of repairs:
binding to the premises;
planning 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 sanitary equipment;
floor repair;
repair of walls and laying of communications;
furniture installation;
ceiling repair;
installation of ventilation;
wall and ceiling decoration;
plumbing installation;
door installation.
At this phase of the repair, it is determined where the plumbing will stand, what the approximate wiring of communications will be, the level of complexity and repair costs. Rearranging plumbing is often done in order to accommodate a washing machine. In the Khrushchev houses of the late 60s, this is possible only when replacing the bathtub with a shower cabin. But there are also layouts that allow you to outweigh the washbasin, instead of a full-fledged bath, 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 sewer predetermines the binding of the remaining objects.
The key rules, following which you can avoid flooding and problems with neighbors, are as follows:
The outlet of the toilet bowl is connected to a 100 mm pipe that does not taper to a cross, otherwise flooding is threatened;
The slope of the pipe coming from the toilet is 100 mm per meter;
Avoid horizontal corners of rigid sewer pipes.
When choosing plumbing, you have to be guided not only by its size, price, but also by design features. A step bath can solve the problem of installing a washing machine. At the same time, it remains possible to wash lying down. The drain hose from the washing machine can be lowered into the bath during washing, without being puzzled by connecting to the sewer.
The corner toilet is very convenient: it can be installed near the door, and it will not interfere with opening. But in Khrushchev, the riser is usually located in the corner, and to connect the toilet not next to the riser, you will have to buy a cross 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, going to the store, it is better to arm yourself with a tape measure.
Good ventilation in a combined bathroom is a guarantee of comfort. It can be provided by a powerful automatic fan, which turns on at the specified temperature and humidity.
For air flow, you will have to mount a grill 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 opens, and extraneous odors can be drawn in from the kitchen.
In the design of a combined bathroom, the areas of the bathroom and toilet should not be clearly contrasted. 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 do zoning, is not the best way out in 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 arrangement. With a classic linear design, a bathtub is located in the farthest corner from the entrance, then, closer to the door, a toilet bowl and a sink. When planning the distribution of zones, one should not forget about the primacy of binding to communications, otherwise complex installation of pipes and crosses may be necessary.
The choice of materials is determined by the quality required for finishing bathrooms. It is better not to save on materials, since the operating conditions in a combined bathroom are more difficult than in separate bathrooms and toilets.
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 fixtures must be waterproof.
For wall and ceiling decoration, only moisture-resistant materials are applicable: ceramic tiles or laminate without crates.
Repairing a combined bathroom with your own hands 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, it is quite natural to want to make it the home of your dreams and change everything there. Actually, it was the same for me - I moved to a odnushka, which probably saw repairs back in Brezhnev's times. So, at the entrance we have an apartment with a separate bathroom and toilet, but very small.
These are such tiny spaces that are called "do not turn around." 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 to the maximum from tiles and a layer of paint. The sink was removed, it needs to be replaced, but the bathtub was left, it is cast iron and in good condition.
The ceilings in the apartment are at different levels, a niche is hidden under the plywood, although it was quite possible to make a locker. However, now it is irrelevant, we will change the location of the door.
Such a mosaic tile adorned the walls of the toilet, you will not find such a one now.
Branch risers from the toilet to the bath. The pipes, as we see, in this old house have been replaced with new ones.
A red brick partition is decorated with a decent layer of plaster - 3-4 cm, we knock down all this "wealth". We'll tear down the wall. We still need this brick.
We diligently knock down all this thick layer of plaster, remove the fiberboard panel, which the pipes in the toilet were sewn up with. We closed the toilet itself, so as not to clog. Dirt, as you can see, enough!
We work in the old fashioned way, with a wide chisel and a hammer. All this work could have been done with a perforator, but we did not have one. All materials are already old, so plaster and tiles are easily knocked off.
Here is a wall hiding behind a layer of plaster and tiles.
The most difficult thing was to remove all this “beauty”, as we 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 knock everything down, we remove the lamp.
This is what the wall opposite 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, we save the bricks, as I said, 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 we removed all the garbage, knocked out the wall and the door frame of the toilet, there will be a wall here.
There will be little difficulty with the new floor, because there is a decent difference between the bathroom floor and the toilet floor, see how crooked the stool is.
Now this difference must be leveled to the maximum, we knock down everything superfluous with a hammer and a chisel, remove two layers of tiles in the toilet.
See how much space there will be in the bathroom combined with the toilet, there will be room 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. Great solution for such a small apartment.
We arm ourselves with a trowel and a cement-sand mixture and build 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 boundary. 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 slots, and then covered with a mixture.
View from the outside: this is how much space will be added in the corridor due to the fact that there will be no door here. In a small area, every centimeter of roads.
The lamp was attached to the wall, but for now it just hangs on the ceiling. In the distance you can see a niche between the slab and the ceiling. Of course, it would be possible to make a locker, but we abandoned this idea, it would be painfully high and very unlikely to be used often.
We close it with a brick, cover the cracks. The old brick was not enough, so I had to buy a new one.
now it's time to dismantle the shaft with the riser. Everything had to be done extremely 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 is a gaping hole in the floor. So that the old cast-iron pipe does not fall, we strengthen the floor with fittings, put boxes on the counters so that they do not suffer during repair work.
We close up the hole at the site of the mine with a cement-sand mixture.
We level the floor between the bathroom and the toilet.
We dismantle the toilet. We sew up a riser for pipes. To do this, we needed metal profiles and the most common foam boards - cheap and absorbs excess water noise. We leave an audit window for access to counters. We seal all the cracks with mounting foam. There are also pipes for a heated towel rail.
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 bowl.
We sew up the riser with drywall sheets. We make serifs on the walls - so that the finishing materials hold better.
Here we have such an ideal riser in the end. It seems that the whole wall is sewn up, but it is not - you can see a hidden hatch here so that we can have access to the plumbing system. For this, we needed canopies for furniture and a push mechanism for the door.
Now you can return to the floor, now you can finally level it to get rid of that ill-fated drop. Our assistants 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 cannot be dispensed with. 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 adhesion to the finishing material.
Plastering process. As we can see, the layer is impressive, 3-4 centimeters.
Due to the fact that we have beacons installed, we see which layer needs to be applied.
Here's what it looks like in the end. Let's dry.
We cover the entire surface of the walls with plaster, then primer.
Let's go to the floor. Our floor will be tiled diagonally. This way of laying tiles is not easy, but it's worth it. This arrangement visually increases the space, and because our bathroom is small, we will try to add volume at least visually.
Before we started laying the tiles, we prepared the surface - leveled, repaired all the holes and potholes on the walls and floor, primed. The primer improves the adhesion of 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 thresholds.
We assemble a new door frame and install it in the opening. In order 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 outer wall of the bathroom is also plastered.
The door is the simplest, made of chipboard. Firstly, such a door is inexpensive and quite suitable for our interior. We hang it on loops. Then we carefully foam 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 mix the tile adhesive. It will be very easy to check whether it is ready - 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. This means that the consistency is ideal, if it is too liquid, add the glue mixture, if it is thick - water.
On the wall, we have already pre-made serifs, for better adhesion of the wall 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 reference row, do not forget to use seam crosses, they guarantee that there will be no distortions.
We do the same manipulations with the other wall - we check with a plumb line whether the walls are vertical, we fix the starting level.
This wall is the most difficult - we have communications here. Here you have to rack your brains on how best to arrange the tiles, so that you don’t 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 tile so that the tile does not move out.
We drill a hole for the wiring with a diamond drill, we bring out the wires - here we will have a lamp.
Another difficult area is the space above the door, there is no support row, so in order for the tiles not to move, we will use the good old adhesive tape.
As you can see, we do not lay out the tiles up to the very ceiling, then there will be a suspended ceiling here, so we leave 5 cm.
We rub the tile seams.
The tiles are in two shades of beige. Lighter tiles on top and darker tiles on the bottom help visually enlarge the space.
It's time to install a new heated towel rail. Mark holes for fasteners and drill.
Installing a heated towel rail is not an easy task; in order 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 tile and in the same places we make holes already in the tile itself.
Now it remains to lay out non-whole tiles in the corner.
We complete the installation 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 sink pipes into the wall. First, cuts were made with a grinder, and then strobes were hollowed out with a chisel, a chisel and a hammer, where the pipes were placed. Installed a new faucet.
Now you need to make holes in the tile itself. To do this, we use a special crown for drilling round holes. We install it on a drill and at low speed in a couple of minutes we get a neat hole.
We glue the tiles, we overwrite. No more pipes disfigure our bathroom.
This is what our bath looks like at this stage. We install the ventilation grill.
Alas, the pictures end there, but the repair does not. It remains for us to decorate the ceiling. This will be an aluminum rail suspended ceiling. As we have already said, our main task is to maximize the space, so we chose a glossy rail.
The spotlights helped us make the bathroom feel very light and therefore feel spacious. Then we hung a new sink, covered the space under the bathroom with a special color-matched plastic screen.
As a result, we have greatly transformed the bathroom and received additional space, both in the bathroom itself and in the hallway. In the vacated space, you can put a washing machine and hang shelves. The repair turned out to be budgetary, we used to the maximum what is still quite suitable (brick, bathtub) and chose the most inexpensive materials.
Mass construction of compact but uncomfortable housing began in the late 1950s and continued until the 1970s. This made it possible for many families to receive apartments, but today they need repair and re-planning, taking into account modern construction and technical capabilities.
"Khrushchev" were built of reinforced concrete slabs or bricks. The features of such buildings can be considered tiny rooms and almost Spartan conditions in the use of toilets and bathrooms. Rectangular bowls had dimensions of approximately 150x180 cm, square - 170x170 cm. Often there were bathrooms of irregular shape with a total area of 3-4 square meters. meters. Ceilings in height did not exceed 2.5 m.
Ventilation in the bathrooms goes to a centralized air duct. The thermal insulation of load-bearing walls is insufficient, and if the toilet or bathroom has an external wall, it is cold to stay in them in winter.
One-room apartments had a shared bathroom. In three-room apartments, a light wall separated the bathroom from the toilet. The bathroom was so narrow that only the toilet could fit. The bathtub, sink and narrow passage were typical examples of bathroom interiors. 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 the "Khrushchev" did not always have a square or rectangular shape, there were peculiar configurations. The deformation of the premises took place in favor of closets or narrow corridors, in order to increase them to the level of carrying furniture.
Designers for many years of working with such premises have developed certain rules in 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 prices indicated. After the project is completed, repairs are carried out. Again, a sketch is made with the designation of plumbing and furniture. Sometimes, in order to place a bathtub, you have to go deep into the wall, change the location of the drain, arrange light partitions or move the front door. All changes are included in the project.
In a room with a square layout, the bath can be placed anywhere. In rectangular rooms, it is better for her to select one of the short walls, 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 to be overall. For some interiors, a corner or drop-shaped bath is used. This solution helps to free up an additional corner. Complete with such a bathroom, the corner toilet and sink look beautiful and original.
For those who are used to taking a shower on the go, you can refuse the bath. There are many graceful forms of shower stalls with space-saving ways to open doors. Those who like to take a 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 bath combined with a shower.
In cramped 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 onto the bath. In some cases, it is placed directly above the drop-shaped bath on the narrow side. Flat washbasin options can be combined with a cabinet or with a washing machine.In very cramped conditions, the bathtub takes over the role of the sink.
This is a metal structure that is mounted on a wall or used to make a partition. All communication pipes are hidden in a similar module, a toilet bowl, a bidet, and a sink are attached to it. The grate is hidden behind a glass wall or masked with a finishing material. The plumbing at the installation comes straight out of the wall and looks like it is floating in the air, it is easy to clean under it.
The best option for small rooms would be a toilet on the installation. The absence of a tank and drain pipe frees up space. Sometimes the toilet gets a corner, this allows you not to rest against the walls and rationally take a corner. In some layouts, it is installed right at the door (under the same wall with it), which significantly saves space. The bidet is located 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 washbasin, it is better to place it next to it. So it will be possible to use the surface of the machine instead of the cabinet, laying out cosmetics or shaving accessories on it.
For small rooms choose hanging furniture. 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 joint premises. The divided rooms are too small to fit everything you need.
The choice of materials for wall cladding in small bathrooms is small. The most commonly used tiles, PVC wall panels, waterproof latex-based acrylic paint.
Tiles are natural materials and are 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 - tiles are used around the bathtub and sink, the rest of the walls are painted with water-repellent paint or finished with decorative plaster. In small rooms with high humidity, evaporation from hot water taken into the bath 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 condensate. If repairs are 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 the 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 hard-wearing as ceramics, but 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 trap moisture.
Polyvinyl chloride can be called a universal remedy, it is suitable not only for wall and ceiling cladding. Plates from it close 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 on the amount of space. There are various approaches to accomplish this task. The room should be decorated with reflective surfaces: mirrors, shiny tiles, stretch ceilings with a glossy surface. In small rooms, you need to use a small ornament, a mosaic. To expand the space, horizontal lines are used in wall decoration. To "raise" the ceiling, apply a vertical pattern.Miniature rooms cannot be loaded with trifles, 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 stylization of the room is chosen before the renovation is done. For small bathrooms, expensive and frilly styles such as baroque and rococo are not suitable. Simple budget options are acceptable. They can be extravagant, bright, or delicate, but they are quite capable of doing without gilding and natural stone.
A 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 subjects seem defiant. Such interiors are decorated with posters, paintings or panels. In this case, the monkey portraits and the shell are the accents that form the pop art theme.
This style rationally organizes a small space. Laconic, peaceful, with clear geometric proportions. Natural materials are used in the decoration of the bathroom. The interior is simple, functional, graphic and streamlined, in keeping with the Japanese worldview.
The direction is ideal for small combined bathrooms. Several discreet colors are used, the minimum amount of decor. Practicality, simplicity and the absence of trifles make the room functional and pleasant to look at.
This style is for those who cannot accept the cold minimalist direction and tries to bring comfort even to a small bathroom. Tenderness with elements of the past are typical for 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 is well suited for small bathrooms and toilets. It is simple and easy to perform, no frills, but pleasant and peaceful. A reverent attitude to the marine theme has formed a preference for choosing light blue, pale green colors along with an abundance of white. Natural materials are used in the interior, the presence of wood is mandatory. Things are stored on shelves in boxes, baskets, jars.
