3D bathroom planner for bathroom design

Just 10 years ago, no one even thought that they needed to create a design project for a bathroom , since few people saw the point in this action. There has always been an opinion that a bathroom is, first of all, a story about practicality and simplicity, that you should spend as much time there as possible and ignore any concepts of comfort. However, views on many things change over time and people counted how much time they spent in this room every day and came to the conclusion that it wouldn’t hurt to add a little comfort to practicality. And in general, like other rooms in an apartment/house, the bathroom should look stylish, or at least visually attractive.

Well, let's figure out how you can ergonomically and stylishly organize the space in the bathroom in relation to modern trends and what nuances to pay attention to when developing a project yourself in order to avoid typical mistakes that beginners often make.

Program functions for 3D bathroom design

Interior Design 3D is a universal software in Russian for Windows that will help you plan the design of your office, apartment or office. A simple, intuitive interface will allow you to quickly get used to the editor and immediately start modeling the layout. The following options are available to you:

Budget calculation

Once you have a general understanding of the interior, all that remains is to calculate the budget. The estimate for materials is made after calculations have been made for everything necessary: furniture, plumbing, equipment. The result will be the total amount.

If you have any difficulties, you can contact any forum on construction and design - there are many people here who have done renovations themselves, craftsmen, designers, and here they can always help with a free bathroom project.

How to work in a 3D bathroom design planning program

Step 1: Create a room

First you need to create a project and draw the walls. In the 3D Interior Design constructor, you can draw a room manually according to measurements taken in advance, or download a real plan as a template and simply trace it.

Building a bathroom layout

A 3D layout of the created room will appear at the bottom of the screen. If you need to change its size, drag the mouse on any of the walls. This opportunity will come in very handy if you later want to design a private house.

When creating a layout, pay special attention to the choice of doors. The bathroom design program offers a large number of options: from regular and double doors to arches. The application also contains an impressive collection of different types of windows, including balcony blocks.

Installing doors in the program

Step 2. Finish

If you double-click on the created room, the settings panel will appear on the right. Here you can change the name of the room, set the height of the walls and select finishing materials. Tile is best suited for wall cladding and flooring.

Choosing tiles for the bathroom

To set the appearance:

✓ go to the menu of the element you want to configure (“Walls”, “Floor”, “Ceiling”);
✓ click on the “Material”
and select
“Tile”
;
✓ select the appropriate option and click “Apply”
;
✓ adjust the texture scale and evaluate the result in the viewing window.

Setting up finishing materials

Didn't find a suitable material in the catalog? Bathroom Planner allows you to upload materials from your computer. For example, you can download the desired texture on the Internet and add it to your project to make a design that is as close to reality as possible.

Step 3. Arrange the furniture

Now you need to choose furniture. The editor provides several options for bathtubs and showers, Jacuzzis, mirrors, sinks and other elements.

Arranging furniture in the bathroom

In the future, you can customize the appearance of any added item. Adjust the color of the bathtub, rug or sink, change its location and evaluate the result in the preview window.

Don't forget to add a light source: in the catalog you will find about a dozen options for lamps and chandeliers of various styles. Select the appropriate one and add it to the layout.

Step 4. Save the project

The finished visualization can be saved on your computer as an image or printed on a printer. You can also leave the project in the format of the software itself so that you can return to editing if necessary.

Basic procedure

First you need to decide what you should end up with. The Internet comes to the rescue with a large number of developments - on various sites, multiple photos of the bathtub project will help you decide on your desires.

The stream of thoughts running through your head needs to be directed in the right direction.
You can contact designers, or pick up a pencil and a piece of paper; in addition, there are computer programs that allow you to create an online bathroom project.
But if you don’t have experience in this kind of work, and don’t want to contact designers, then the pencil option is more preferable.

First you need to deal directly with the package of drawings.

It should include a diagram of the placement of plumbing fixtures and equipment with reference to communications and furniture, as well as an electrical wiring diagram taking into account the location of sockets and lighting.

When the drawings are ready, you will need to decide how to decorate the room and what equipment to purchase. After this, a general estimate for the bathroom design project is drawn up.

What to consider when planning a 3D bathroom design in the program

In order to be able to design a high-quality layout the first time, when working in the editor you should consider the following features:

1. Create a separate room.

You should not draw one common room with a hallway and a bathroom, and then build partitions. In this case, you will not be able to complete an individual finish for the bathroom, since the finishing materials are installed on the entire room at once.

2. When setting up finishing materials, you can take textures from any section

. If the flooring options offered in the “Floor” category do not suit you, look, for example, at the tiles from the “Walls” category.

3. If the installed tile seems too large for you, adjust the “Scale” parameter. Move the slider to the right to reduce the tile size

4. Basic bathroom furnishings

are located in the corresponding section of the furniture catalogue. However, you can find matching items in other tabs. For example, in the “Miscellaneous” section you may need switches, sockets, a gas boiler and other objects.

Selection of plumbing

The first and most important thing you need to decide on when planning the interior of a bathroom is the plumbing. Fortunately, now it is as diverse as furniture sets.

Bath

Modern bathtubs differ in shape:

– Rectangular – strict and laconic. They will fit well into a minimalist and high-tech interior;

– Triangular models are not the most convenient to install. But they are spacious, luxurious and elegant. And often with additional functions, such as hydromassage;

– Oval bathtubs are sophisticated and laconic. This is a good alternative if rectangular bowls seem too massive and rough to you;

– The round model is an unusual solution that will fit only into spacious bathrooms. It will become the central element of the interior and decor;

– A clawfoot bathtub is the epitome of elegance. If you want a luxurious bathroom in a classic style, this is what you need. Catchy, beautiful, on aged twisted or massive lion paws.

As for materials, the most traditional are durable cast iron bathtubs. They were one of the first to appear, and are still strongly associated with the classical style. But they are too heavy and require special care.

Acrylic is light and warm. This is a godsend for bowls of non-standard sizes and configurations. But the surface is easy to scratch; it is afraid of chemicals and abrasives. A good option for modern interiors.

Steel is the most affordable and very practical. But it cools down quickly and is too noisy. Steel will fit into loft and deliberately minimalist styles.

Artificial stone is expensive, but very effective and practical. This bathtub is suitable for interiors built on natural materials and textures.

Shower cabin

Shower cabins are ideal in three cases:

– If you don’t like to soak in the bath, there’s no point in wasting time, water and space

Pay attention to modern and multifunctional shower cabins;. – If the bathroom is too small, a corner cubicle or a cubicle against the wall is a real find;

– If the bathroom is too small, a corner cubicle or a cubicle against the wall is a real find;

– Ultra-modern high-tech would be better complemented by a shower room. The latest models are equipped with lighting, music and other interesting options.

Toilet

The most important criterion for choosing a toilet when planning the interior design of a bathroom is the method of its installation. There are two main options:

– Classic floor design with cistern. You can even install and connect it yourself;

– Wall-hung toilets. The frame is mounted into the wall, so the bowl is pressed closely against it. These models do not have a visible tank. This is an option for small bathrooms and modern interiors.

Sink

Sinks are as versatile as bathtubs. It is better to immediately choose them together so that they are in harmony with each other.

In shape they can be round, oval, square, irregular polygonal. Complex unusual shapes fit well into high-tech, pop art and other fashion trends. But they are more difficult to wash.

To artificial or natural stone and acrylic, earthenware and porcelain are also added. These are good options for the classics. Stainless steel washbasins are good in a loft. Glass – in minimalism and hi-tech. There are even fancy but low-functional wooden sinks.

According to the installation method, there are water lilies that are attached to the wall, tulips on legs, floor or wall consoles and built-in sinks.

And for small bathrooms, the washbasin can be combined with a cabinet or installed above the washing machine. It's absolutely safe. They even sell ready-made kits.

The bathroom is combined with a toilet

Let's take a closer look at what are the good and bad sides of this combination. The advantages of this combination are:

increasing the space for the best implementation of all design wishes,
the ability to use the washbasin after visiting the toilet without going to another room,
if it is an open-plan apartment, it is possible to save on materials for the partition.

Minuses:

layout of a bathroom in a private house, where there is a partition in the house plan - permission will be required for its demolition,
when a large family lives in an apartment, queues may appear with a shared bathroom,
It’s not entirely aesthetically pleasing when the bathroom is located in close proximity to the toilet.

What is project documentation?

Project documentation (or design estimates) is usually understood as a set of sources, which may include both text and graphic materials intended to determine lists of architectural, technological, structural, and engineering solutions used as part of the implementation of a construction project.

Depending on the complexity of the tasks facing the company, the structure of the relevant documentation may vary. Its composition determines which specific specialists will be involved in the development of these sources.

Why draw up a project in advance?

Some people go to building materials stores and purchase various raw materials without thinking about it. As a result, people are not satisfied with the result and are not as happy with the renovation as they would like. This situation can be easily changed, because there are many resources that open up the possibility of designing a toilet room for the most correct solution. That is why programs for creating interior design online were invented. This will help:

calculate the amount of materials needed for repairs in the toilet;
choose a bathroom that fits into the space;
choose color schemes for the interior of the toilet;
rely on certain accessories that will create a special atmosphere in the room;
Design option for a toilet in an apartment
understand in advance how much money is needed to purchase materials, interior items and decorative elements;
think over combinations of materials of different textures, which will create a special aura in the toilet;
see several renovation options and place a bet on the one that is most attractive.

All these aspects will help to carry out repairs in the toilet at the right level. It is then that the owners of the “nest” will be pleased and satisfied with the result of their labors.

What to do before starting a toilet project

Of course, to implement the idea of a toilet project, you need to do some things. Namely:

Clearly measure the height, width and diameter of the room.
Correctly mark where doors and windows are in space.
An example of a 3D toilet project created in a special program
Toilet remodel plan
Decide on color schemes (although this can be done at the stage of creating a drawing and house project in programs).
Consider which pieces of furniture should find their place in the interior of the toilet.
Decide how much money you are willing to spend on repair work.
Determine which program is most convenient to work with.

All these steps will make the process of implementing the drawing easy and fast. Therefore, you need to think about them in advance.

Redevelopment

“Wet” rooms are prohibited from being enlarged at the expense of the living area of the apartment, but you can use a storage room or part of the corridor. They rarely resort to redevelopment of this room, since small apartments are usually equipped with small bathrooms, where there is no free space for their expansion. Much more often, bathrooms are combined and separated (bath + sink and toilet). Housing legislation does not prohibit such actions. If the owners do not want to undertake a full-scale reconstruction, then they can get by with decorative partitions. Coordination with the housing inspectorate for such actions is not required. A plasterboard wall will solve the zoning problem and at the same time you can build it yourself in just one day.
