Improving the bathroom: 6 winning designs

The appearance of the bathroom is a rather important detail, because, whatever one may say, a person spends a lot of time there in his life. Small mistakes during repairs, as well as ignoring simple trifles, can lead to the fact that the design of the room wilts, no matter how expensive repairs you make. I will tell you about 6 mistakes that many make, and how to fix them.

The joint between the bathroom and the wall

In the process of repair, many make a mistake and first lay the tiles, and only then they are engaged in installing the bath. This method has long been considered outdated and outdated. It requires the installation of a plastic skirting board so that water does not get into the gap, which is obtained as a result of such an oversight. But its main disadvantage is its short service life. After a short time, it turns yellow, becomes covered with dark spots, even if you do not neglect cleaning and processing with special means - such is the fate of plastic. This already spoils the interior of the bathroom. What can we say, when the plinth does not match in shade with the tile or bathroom, a sharp transition occurs and such a mistake will immediately catch the eye.

What to do?

If you have just started the renovation, then the bathtub is installed first, and then the tiles are laid from its edge. It turns out that the plumbing will be built into the cladding. This will help avoid creating a gap - it simply will not exist. And to accurately exclude water ingress, use an epoxy sealant. In this version, you don't need to lay the plastic skirting board at all.

If the repair has already been done, then in this case you will have to change the plastic side more often and carefully monitor its cleanliness.

Access hatches for access to communications

This point is very important. But there are two main mistakes:

1. The hatch is too small. In the event of a breakdown and the need for repairs, the master will need to expand the space in order to get close to the pipes, and for this, rude methods and destructive actions are often used.
2. Plastic products, even the most expensive and high quality ones, spoil the aesthetic appearance of the room. And if there are several of them, even more so.

What to do?

Arranging access to communications requires literacy and responsibility. It should be invisible. And this can be done in several ways:

• Tile hatch. The most popular option due to the ease of installation and the simplicity of the design itself. It is a frame and a door attached to it. The hatch is opened with suction cups. It is difficult to notice such a performance, since on top it is decorated with similar tiles, as on the walls.
• Push. To get to the pipes, you must press on it, after which the roller-push mechanism first pushes the door, and then opens it.
• Folding option. Equipped with gas shock absorbers, which makes the use more convenient and easy. Structurally, the device has springs that are attached to the frame and door.

Using any of the options, you can not only hide pipes from prying eyes, but also avoid the use of plastic models that kill the design of the bathroom.

Glutinous tiles

Most of the apartments have a very small bathroom. And if we add to this the lack of windows and sunlight, then the desire to "revive" the room with bright colors is understandable. And what does a person do? It transfers this very catchiness to the tiles: an abundance of dolphins, fish, waves, bright blue colors - all this quickly gets boring, looks, as a rule, very clumsy and resembles "gypsy".

What to do?

Colorfulness can be added with accessories and small accent details:

• hang an elegant lamp by the mirror;
• highlight only one wall with unusual tiles;
• choose a beautiful shower curtain to match the room;
• put a live plant.

As for the decoration of the bathroom itself, it is better to arrange it in a neutral light color scheme.

Drying rope

This device is found in many apartments and for some reason it is the bathroom that is always chosen for it. Of course, this is an inexpensive and practical solution, but it can ruin the entire design that you could think through to the smallest detail.

What to do?

Nobody canceled the wall-mounted heated towel rails. And the task is facilitated by the use of special dryers, which are easily suspended on the battery, and then just as easily removed. In addition, such a solution will also help with heating a small room.

Open storage of tubes and bottles

Sometimes it is very difficult to trace why, at such an inexorable speed, the bathroom is covered with small details: brushes, pastes, soap, cosmetics, various tubes and bottles. And if all this is still on open shelves, then the first impression will always not be the best - the bathroom will turn out to be cluttered.

What to do?

Try looking for space in closed cabinets. This can be the space under the bathroom, the cabinet under the sink, or drawers in the mirror. If there are simply no such places, then it is better to store the little things in special organizers. The main thing is that they are made in the same style.

Lack of good drawing

It would seem how ventilation can affect the design of the bathroom? It's simple. The forced air circulation system helps to clean the room from condensation that settles on the walls, mirrors and equipment. This means that the tiles will not be covered with stains and stains, the mirror will always shine, and mold will not appear on wet surfaces. Naturally, all this not only spoils the appearance of the bathroom, but also affects human health.

What to do?

Ensure good ventilation. It can be both natural and forced. In the first case, the channels require checking and timely cleaning.

If ventilation in the bathroom does not work or does not perform its functions effectively enough, then the installation of forced ventilation using an exhaust hood will help to normalize the humidity fan.
