Sequencing
Based on the shape of the room, its area and the location of the sewerage and water outlets, the installation sequence should be as follows:
- There is a bath and washbasin.
- Toilet.
- If there is enough space, an additional shower cabin.
- A place for the boiler is determined.
- The washing machine is placed in openings or niches.
- Lastly, they begin to install mirrors, shelves, cabinets, drying racks, and hanger hooks.
Secrets of the correct arrangement of furniture in the bathroom
Only the owner of a large bathroom can afford a large number of huge cabinets, heavy cabinets and long shelves, but here there is no question of saving space when arranging furniture. It's another matter if the room is small. Does it really need an abundance of furniture?
Often, a towel holder and a couple of shelves are enough to accommodate the minimum required, especially if the family is small. The average person balances somewhere in the middle. He needs a little more than the standard set, and to arrange everything he needs requires space, which is often not enough.
In this case, built-in, corner and small-sized structures are provided. It is also recommended to use places that are not entirely suitable for arranging furniture - distant corners, the area above the sink, the door, under the bathtub. The latter is often raised on a pedestal, surrounded by tiles, and in the resulting steps a place is created for storing household chemicals and cleaning tools.
You can enclose the bathtub with a screen with doors and hide some things behind them. Not less often, furniture is arranged in the bathroom, in which a cabinet with drawers is organized under the bathing tank.
It is worth remembering about transformable furniture, which has become widespread recently. Such objects can be folded and unfolded, increased or decreased in size, and transformed from one thing to another. Examples:
- fold-down wall-mounted shower seat;
- rotating mirror cabinet;
- an ottoman that acts as a container for dirty things;
- compact folding shower cabin.
The cabinet can be replaced with a pencil case. By placing it in the far corner, you will be able to protect the furniture from water, as well as place all the necessary bath and other accessories in it.
Arranging furniture in the bathroom will be greatly simplified if you purchase items on wheels. If necessary, their location can always be changed if something is not to your liking or seems inconvenient.
Decor
Most surfaces are finished with tiles or panels that are moisture resistant. You can verify this by looking at photographs of the bathroom layout.
It is imperative to put a non-slip coating on the floor - even with the most careful and careful handling, it is impossible to avoid drops of water.
It is necessary to take into account the role of the color of the facing material in the design of the bathroom. In narrow rooms, the use of dark colors is unacceptable - they will “compress” the space even more.
Many people, while taking a bath, not only get rid of dirt, but also engage in relaxation, and the dark colors surrounding a person have a depressing effect on the psyche.
As for lighting, it all depends on the preferences of the owners; both muted and powerful flow of light is possible.
Dimensions of bathrooms
Examples of bathroom layouts
The area of the bathroom is taken into account not only during renovation work, but also when purchasing a new home. And to understand whether all the necessary household items will fit in it, it is worth assessing the dimensions of the room. So you define:
- how best to place plumbing fixtures;
- how to lay all the necessary communications;
- what finishing options to use during renovation.
Regulatory regulation of parameters
Before starting redevelopment, you must obtain permission from the BTI
The height, width and optimal area of the bathroom are directly related to the linear dimensions of the bathroom. They are regulated by a considerable list of regulations of the relevant authorities, such as GOST and SNiP. Therefore, before you begin implementing your design projects, you need to familiarize yourself with the regulatory framework in this area. If this nuance is neglected, the redevelopment of the litter will be considered illegal.
Important! Separately, it is worth noting the redevelopment in the apartments. Most often, the BTI does not give the go-ahead for the implementation of the plan if the wet area differs in configuration from the bathroom of the neighbors below. Indeed, in such a situation, the area of the bathroom may be above the living area, which is unacceptable according to the standards.
What are the minimum dimensions?
Example of a small bathroom
The minimum parameters of the bathroom do not allow you to fit all the necessary equipment into the room. Therefore, owners of compact bathrooms try to expand the premises, but the main thing here is not to violate the sanitary standards specified in SNiP.
Layout options
In very narrow spaces, owners are forced to abandon washing machines.
Calculating the layout of a 4 sq.m. bathroom. m. In addition to giving up the washing machine, you have to arrange the usual bathing place with a tray or a small shower. Installing a small triangular washbasin will also help save space.
In square bathrooms with an area of up to six square meters. meters from all the necessary equipment we have to abandon round bathtubs.
Rectangular and square rooms have one advantage - it is possible to compactly place all the devices.
Elongated bathrooms allow you to implement original solutions for placing various appliances.
Important! The distance between individual objects should be 50-60 centimeters!

Window
A glazed exit to the outside world can be a kind of bonus, turning a run-of-the-mill bathroom into a luxurious relaxation area. There are a significant number of options for planning a bathroom with a window. The choice depends on the size and location of the opening:
- small window;
- close to the bathtub;
- large panoramic opening;
- several panoramic windows;
- window in the shower;
- between the bathroom and the bedroom;
- next to the washbasin.
Let’s immediately make a reservation that panoramic windows (one or several) are an idea for planning a bathroom in a private house, when the owner is not limited by the framework of a standard project, and is not forced to look for options for placing the necessary furniture and appliances in the existing space.
The right approach to arranging a bathroom space
Much depends on the area of the room. It is impossible to place a shower stall, a Jacuzzi, a bidet, a toilet and a sink within 5 meters, and one cannot forget about the arrangement of furniture. You will have to sacrifice something, but this does not mean that you cannot arrange this room in your own way and even bring something new, non-standard into it.
There are devices that allow you to transfer communications, for example flexible hoses, corrugated pipes. On sale are installations for hanging plumbing fixtures and hidden mechanisms for installing a sink above a washing machine.
The hardest thing is to change something in an already finished bathroom. Experts advise thinking about arranging furniture and installing plumbing at the renovation stage, drawing up a project, so that you don’t have to redo anything later. Designers recommend creating a layout of the future room, indicating all the necessary elements, where they will be placed, and the area they will occupy.
If you lack imagination, a ready-made diagram for arranging furniture in the bathroom will help. It consists of computer programs and free online services, of which there are many on the Internet.
The only disadvantage of such utilities is that they always think in a standard way, offering standard solutions. But the owner himself will be able to make the necessary adjustments, add something, remove something, come up with something of his own in the arrangement of furniture or installation of plumbing.
The main thing is to have a good idea of how this or that component will look in its designated place, whether it is convenient to approach it, and whether it interferes with the operation of other elements and accessories. Harmony is good, but convenience and functionality should remain the main priority, especially when the bathroom is small.
Bathtub adjacent
This is a classic option when the window is quite large and the sides of the bath are ten to fifteen centimeters below it.
Frosted glass will provide shelter from immodest glances from the outside. An interesting option is to decorate the lower part of the window with frosted glass and the upper part with transparent glass, which will allow you to admire the landscape outside the window.
Advice! Do not cover the window with curtains. Regular ingress of water and precipitation of moisture from steam will lead to the formation of dampness and the appearance of an unpleasant odor.
Original solution
The biggest challenge is the layout of a small bathroom. In the so-called “Khrushchev” apartments, it would seem that the only solution is to place the washing unit under the sink.
However, recently an unusual solution has begun to be used - installing a washing machine above the toilet! You can see how such an arrangement will look in the photographs available on the World Wide Web.
When choosing such a decision, you should take into account a number of important factors:
- to avoid accidents, the machine is located above the barrel, and not above the seat;
- the drain hose should be positioned above the level of the drum to prevent waste water from entering the operating mechanism;
- supporting elements must be installed as firmly as possible and designed to support the weight of the unit;
- the plate itself, which holds the machine suspended, must prevent its possible jumps and movements.
Parameters of bathrooms in Khrushchev buildings
An example of arranging a bathroom in Khrushchev
The standard dimensions of a bathroom in Khrushchev-era buildings cannot please you, since in a room with parameters of 1.9 by 1.7 sq.m. Only a washbasin with a font can fit. This is the minimum bathroom area.
For your information: What size should a bathroom be in order to accommodate at least a washbasin, shower, toilet and washing machine? As a rule, the size of standard bathrooms does not exceed 3-4 square meters. meters. But, as practice shows, this space is enough to accommodate the necessary equipment.
It is impossible to determine the ideal size of a bathroom, since everything depends on the layout and dimensions of the plumbing that will be installed in it. With proper design of the room, even 2.5 sq.m. can be arranged tastefully. Therefore, the standard dimensions of bathrooms do not play a decisive role in the functionality of the room.
Combination
The most common way to install a washing machine is to place it under the sink. In such a place only a low (up to 70 cm) and narrow (no more than forty cm deep) unit will fit.
The layout of a bathroom with a washing machine places special demands on the sink drain - it must be horizontal, secured with brackets. It is highly undesirable to install the sink directly on the washing machine.
Do you need a washing machine in the bathroom?
Since most Russian apartments do not have laundry facilities, the bathroom is traditionally considered the best place for a washing machine. When there is not enough “square space” in the room, they try to place a small “washing machine” under the sink. With this option, the sink ends up at an awkward height, especially for children.
A rational solution for owners of small bathrooms: place the washing machine in the kitchen, pantry or hallway. So that the “washing machine” does not stand out in the interior, it can be hidden behind furniture facades.
An interesting option: place a mini-laundry room in an area adjacent to the bathroom at the expense of the corridor. By the way, this is the only option to increase the area of the bathroom.
Shower room
Modern residential buildings are very rarely built with spacious bathrooms. Residents often face a lack of space in hygiene areas. The solution is to install compact shower stalls.
By the way, this choice is explained not only by the lack of space, but also by the modern rhythm of life - many people prefer a shower to a relaxing bath.
The layout of a bathroom with a shower depends on the size of the room. In large rooms, a cubicle with five walls looks stylish. This design not only accommodates a shower, but also provides space for free movement.
Small rooms are usually equipped with open showers.
Among the finishing materials for bathrooms with showers, the most popular are:
- ceramic tile;
- mosaic;
- porcelain stoneware;
- marble.
The choice of material for decoration depends on the financial capabilities and taste of the apartment owners.
Regulatory framework
The linear dimensions of residential and utility rooms are regulated by an impressive list of regulations such as GOSTs and SNiPs. In accordance with them, the layout of standard apartments is carried out. Any change in the location of walls and partitions must be agreed upon by the relevant authorities, the first of which is the BTI.

Placement of plumbing fixtures in the bathroom according to SNiP
It is not always the owner of a typical apartment who receives permission to implement the layout necessary to improve the comfort of the premises. This must be taken into account when buying a home and, first of all, pay attention to the size of the bathroom and toilet. They are reflected on the apartment plan, which also indicates the location of utilities.

According to regulations, the minimum sizes of bathrooms can be as follows:
- ceiling height of at least 2.5 m;
- room width is at least 0.8 m;
- the depth (length) of the bathroom is at least 1.2 m.
The sizes of combined bathrooms have their own gradation: small (198-173 cm), medium (250x150 cm), large (290x200 cm). These standards are defined for “Khrushchev” and panel apartment buildings. The architectural layout of these buildings may not include full bathrooms or combined bathrooms with bathtubs installed in them, but bathrooms with showers. The standard dimensions of such rooms are 140x150 cm.
How to calculate the area of a bathroom
Bathroom project with an area of 3.1 sq.m.
Bathroom project with an area of 3.3 sq.m.
With proper organization of space, a non-standard bathroom layout is very convenient
Bathroom project with an area of 4.6 sq.m.
Bathroom project with an area of 6.25 sq.m.
Since the dimensions of bathrooms in typical apartments leave much to be desired, it is not easy to create conditions for comfortable use of these rooms. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the distances between plumbing equipment recommended by standards.
Equipment | Distances |
From toilet to bidet | At least 35 cm |
From toilet to riser | No more than 20 cm |
From wall to shower | No more than 30 cm |
Free space in front of the toilet | Not less than 60 cm |
