For a bathroom window to serve its purpose, users must have easy access to it. See how to decorate a bathroom window so you can use it freely.
Bright, daylit and extra ventilated, this is a bathroom with a window of the right size and in the right place. Unfortunately, often when planning a layout, the basic principles of bathroom design and interior design are not followed. A bathtub located under a window will make washing difficult. The window in the bathroom above the sink will not allow you to hang mirrors above it.
Color solutions
The bathroom is 6 sq.
m you can use different colors: Light. They help create an atmosphere of calm and tranquility; they are recommended to be used as primary colors. Light pastel colors have a positive effect on the perception of the room: they make it lighter and more spacious. Design project of a bright bathroom 6 sq. m is shown in the photo. Bright. They lift the mood and “enliven” the space. In large numbers they can be annoying. You can make one of the walls bright, but it is better to use rich colors in decorative elements: hooks, rugs, curtains, towels. The wall along which the bathtub is installed is often decorated with images of flowers or seascapes
This type of decoration can highlight the interior and attract attention to it. Dark. Should be used in doses
Their abundance can create a gloomy, depressing atmosphere. In the bathroom interior, flooring with a dark pattern, black or dark purple facades of individual plumbing elements, etc. will look beautiful.
Warm shades are always at the peak of popularity
The combination of black and white colors in the interior can be called classic. They should be used in a 50/50 ratio.
White color goes very well with brown or gray shades

Combined bathroom
In small apartments, such as Khrushchev or Stalin buildings, options for a combined bathroom and toilet are more often used.
In order for the functionality of the restroom to meet the needs of the owners, before starting repairs, you need to think not only about the placement of plumbing fixtures, but also how to hide pipes and meters and ensure intensive and reliable air exchange.
Good ventilation or exhaust hood will not be superfluous here. If the bathroom interior is 5 sq.m. thought out to the smallest detail, the useful and necessary space will also become comfortable.
The days of plumbing shortages are long gone. Today in shopping centers there are a lot of proposals for decorating combined areas, so it will not be difficult to choose a corner toilet, a miniature sink, add functional compact furniture, and fit the required washing machine under the washbasin or hang it in a free partition.
You can separate the toilet area from the bathroom using frosted glass partitions or a plasterboard shelving unit.
Below we offer examples of beautiful bathrooms of 5 sq.m. With their help, you can decide what is right for you, and what parts you can completely do without.
Shower equipment with a ready-made tray
For anyone who does not want to spend time arranging the foundation themselves, we recommend buying a ready-made pallet and installing it inside the tiled cabin. However, please note that factory-made products come in standard sizes and may not be suitable for your project. Most often these are acrylic or steel bathtubs with low sides and a hole for installing a drain.
Acrylic products are durable, lightweight, and retain heat. You can purchase a budget option - from 3,000 rubles to 5,000 rubles (China) or an expensive one, costing up to 35,000 rubles (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Switzerland). Expensive wall-mounted and corner models are durable, and they are also equipped with a drain, usually located in the corner.
Often, tile booths are acrylic trays installed against a wall or in a corner, equipped with a shower and fenced off with a transparent partition.
Many people mistakenly believe that steel pallets are the cheapest. They are partly right when we are talking about Chinese or Portuguese products worth 2-2.5 thousand rubles. However, German equipment costs much more – up to 50 thousand rubles. The most expensive models are considered to be made of earthenware; their price reaches 200 thousand rubles.
A cabin for a factory pallet is prepared in the same way as for self-construction - first you need to treat a section of the floor, waterproof it, and install communications. If the tiles are not laid, it is necessary to tile the wall at this stage.
Ready-made pallets are good if a cabin as such is not needed, but a shower corner is enough. A tray made of acrylic or steel is installed in a free corner, left open or fenced off with a curtain
A sewer drain is installed immediately before installation. Ideally, it, together with the pipes, should be located under the cabin; the second, undesirable option is in the wall, but close to the floor. When installing pipes, adapters and connecting elements, do not forget about their reliability and use rubber gaskets and silicone sealant.
In some cases, the wall is already tiled, but additional construction of partitions is required. First, we completely complete the construction of the cabin, and only then install the pallet
The pallet is installed strictly according to the instructions, which are included in the kit. Usually they start by adjusting the height of the legs (if any) and leveling them strictly horizontally. The tilt in the tray is provided by the factory manufacturing technology.
The cheapest models, without taking into account the tilt, will have to be tilted towards the drain by 0.5-1 cm. Then they are connected to the sewer pipe and put in place, securing the drain from the outside. Installation of glass doors or plastic curtains is the final stage.
Design project of a bathroom 6 sq. m
What does a complete professional design project done by a specialist include?
- The design project is drawn up on the basis of technical specifications - wishes, including a set of items, color preferences, budget. It is worth recording the task in writing.
- Drawing up a project based on measurements. Measurements are taken for the floor, walls, niches, ledges.
- Planning and placement solutions. The necessary new partitions are drawn on the plan, unnecessary ones are removed, and the placement of furniture and plumbing is indicated. Usually the designer offers several layout options and searches for the optimal one.
- Choice of colors and style. There are several common styles that the designer will help you navigate. Showcase your favorite examples in magazines, on websites, provide links to your favorite color and design solutions. The designer will suggest a basic line.
- Project plan for the installation of electrical appliances. The necessary lighting, sockets, and wiring for built-in lighting are taken into account.
- Drawings of items made to order.
- A sketch project will help you see the general appearance of the future room. If necessary, make changes.
- A 3D project allows you to examine the future interior in detail.
- Working documentation.
A bathroom design project must take into account all the details
Discuss everything with the designer before purchasing materials, plumbing and paying for work.
Based on correct measurements, a 3D project is created
Don't be limited by BTI plans when making production decisions. They may have significant inaccuracies, and actual wall dimensions may vary greatly at different heights. Accurate measurements must be taken on site. If the designer works remotely, make changes yourself based on his recommendations.
Style
Optimistic designers treat small bathrooms calmly. As can be seen from the photo, in a limited area - only 2 or 4 square meters. meter you can fit everything you need if you place it wisely. And in order for the interior design to be harmonious and fashionable, it is worth listening to the advice of artists working on interiors.
Two design trends are fashionable today: ultra-modern high-tech and eco-trends - Provence, English, retro.
The first interior style promotes technical innovations (hence glass washbasins, the abandonment of a bathtub in favor of a shower, closed areas in favor of open space). It is characterized by:
- Laconic forms;
- Maximum functionality;
- Expensive natural materials.
Gentle Provence or English classics allow you to create a “warm” interior - pastel colors, unusual decorative elements for such a room - mirrors in gilded frames, fresh flowers, original wall lamps. With such accessories that do not take up much space, the design of a small bathroom of 2 * 2 meters or a little more will become cozy.
Don’t despair if you inherited an old Khrushchev apartment that is just as old, and even a small bathroom. Stylish interior design can be created here too, if you approach the issue of renovation wisely, abandon traditional, but not so important things, replacing them with comfortable and compact ones.
Lighting
Having finished finishing the bathroom and installing all the furniture and plumbing, you can begin lighting the room. You immediately need to think about how to combine both beauty and practicality together. For example, you can install a small chandelier and several wall sconces, which will look great if hung on either side of a large mirror. Using glass partitions or transparent plastic will help add light and lightness.
The use of built-in lighting is very functional. With its help you can achieve complete illumination of the entire room. But this option also helps to visually expand the room. And on top of that, it makes the interior of the room much more interesting. Many people install a mirror opposite the main source of lighting to make the room bright.
Therefore, it is better to choose multi-level lighting, in which several types of lamps predominate. They can be installed on the floor, on the wall, and on the ceiling. And there are also spotlights. By doing several combinations at once, you can achieve a stunning effect. The main thing is that you don’t need to be too zealous. After all, light should only emphasize all the advantages of a particular style, and not disfigure it.
Features of bathrooms of 6 square meters. m
What are the main distinguishing features we can identify in bathrooms that occupy 6 square meters in an apartment? m:
- Combined option. If the bathroom also includes a toilet, then in this case it especially needs ideas that expand the space. A carefully thought-out design and well-developed project can create a wonderful interior.
- Private bathroom. If you are doubly lucky and the bathroom is completely separate from the toilet, then 6 square meters. m, you can arrange plumbing fixtures and furniture without particularly adhering to strict rules for saving space - such a layout allows this quite well.
- Bathroom 6 sq. m can afford to use fairly massive plumbing fixtures without being particularly embarrassed in choosing them. You don’t have to settle for a miniature shower tray or think for a long time about where to put the laundry basket and washing machine. The design and interior of such a bathroom provides a place for every necessary thing. In addition, there are many options when choosing finishes.

Why do you need a window in the bathroom at all? Experts will answer this question in this short video.
Wall and floor cladding in a small bathroom.
The tone of the tiles for decorating walls and floors is of great importance. As mentioned above, it is better to choose light-colored materials for cladding. For example, a beige or cream color would be perfect. The design of the tile itself is equally important. It is best if it has a vertical arrangement of elements or is mirrored. In addition, the tiles should be selected in small sizes.
Wall decoration can be done not only with tiles. Recently, plastic panels have appeared on the market, which are much cheaper than tiles, but are not inferior to them in quality. They withstand changes in humidity and temperature, have a large selection of colors and textures, which allows you to create an imitation of almost any coating.
Advantages of a tile shower
The modern market offers a huge selection of all kinds of shower cabins. However, not all are suitable for a small room; they are often equipped with functions that are not used. Prices also do not always correspond to quality.
Compared to all ready-made shower cabins, a tile shower has many advantages:
- Tiles are considered an ideal material for tiling rooms with high humidity levels.
- It does not conduct electricity.
- It is characterized by high strength, safety and is an environmentally friendly material.
- Has a long service life.
- Allows you to disguise unaesthetic pipes that spoil the appearance of the room, as well as level the surface of the walls.
- With its help, you can realize any design solutions and all kinds of drawings and patterns thanks to the huge color palette and variety of shapes and structures.
- The ability to create a shower room suitable for a specific room.
- All of the above advantages will cost much less than a standard shower cabin.
Thanks to shower tile finishing, it is possible to create truly elegant accents in the interior.
The disadvantages of this design include insufficient sound insulation, which can be corrected with the help of an additional layer of sound insulation laid under the screed layer.
Bathroom design features
Design of a small bathroom 6 sq. m has its own nuances. The following few tips will help you make her look more attractive.
Using light shades and mirrors to decorate the walls and ceiling will make the bathroom appear larger.
- It is better that cabinets for bath accessories and other small items have glass doors that do not take up space.
- It is advisable to make the bathroom as bright as possible by placing spotlights that fit into the overall design. All necessary communications can be hidden using a suspended ceiling. In addition, the glossy surface of the ceiling will also help expand the space.
- Furniture must be selected in such a way that it is possible to install built-in household appliances. For example, it is best to equip hanging cabinets, under which you can place a washing machine or some kind of plumbing fixtures.
- If there are niches in the walls, be sure to use them to install furniture.
- The door should open outward, and if the layout allows, let it be a sliding one.
- Don't overload your bathroom with too many details. The color and design of accessories should fit well into the overall design of the bathroom.
Of course, you can look at many photos on the Internet, which describe in detail how to decorate the interior. However, do not be afraid to show your imagination, because the design of your apartment is a reflection of yourself. You can decorate your bathroom in absolutely any style, for example, high-tech with an abundance of plastic and chrome parts, modern with simple shapes, catri or eco-style with the maximum amount of natural materials and colors, and many other styles.
Which is better in the shower, tray or tiles?
Many consumers are interested in the question of how best, more economically and quickly to install a ready-made shower tray or make it themselves. The following types of ready-made pallets are available in construction stores:
- enameled;
- iron;
- cast iron;
- acrylic;
- ceramic.
Undoubtedly, a ready-made pallet will save money and speed up the installation of the shower stall a little. But there are also disadvantages.
The enamel tray is very slippery and quite cold, so it is necessary to lay a rubber mat on top of it. If there are small children in the house, this is not the best option.
For cladding, products are used that have a relief or rough surface and a high slip resistance, which is less dangerous.
The iron pan is quite thin and prone to deformation. It also has poor sound insulation and is susceptible to corrosion.
The most durable is a cast iron pan. It is covered with enamel, has good sound insulation and can last a very long time. The only drawback is the appearance of chips on the enamel surface.
Acrylic - similar to acrylic bathtubs, it is very unreliable and requires careful handling.
Ceramic is the most expensive and quite reliable when used correctly. Disadvantage: Impacts may cause chips and cracks.
Which of the above options to choose is up to the buyer to decide, but still, a tile pallet has more advantages and disadvantages. All the same, the walls will be tiled, and it is quite difficult to find a ready-made pallet of the desired color. And the shape of the product is also not always suitable, especially if the shower is of non-standard shape.
The most common design is a dense, durable, durable and moisture-resistant porcelain stoneware or quartz vinyl finish.
Using tiles, you can decorate the floor, walls and ceiling in the shower in the same style and in matching colors. This option allows you to use even a small corner space in the bathroom. The tiles also allow you to build a deeper tray, which can, if necessary, replace the bathtub.
The use of tiles gives unlimited scope for imagination. For example, for convenience and greater comfort, a tile tray can be equipped with a floor heating system. For these purposes, special IP class systems are selected that can be installed in rooms with high humidity.
Arrangement of a bathroom 6 sq. m
In a combined bathroom, all plumbing fixtures should be as functional as possible. In addition, it must match in color and design.
Choosing a bath or shower
When planning the furnishings of a combined bathroom, first of all you should decide on the choice of a bathtub or shower. Both of these plumbing fixtures will not fit in a 6 square meter room. m.
Depending on the interior design, height and build of the household members, the characteristics of the bathtub are selected:
- Color. Must match the colors of other plumbing fixtures.
- Shape: round, oval, rectangular, triangular. A triangle-shaped bathtub is installed in the corner of the room. For classic interiors, symmetrical bathtubs are selected. In modern styles, you can use plumbing fixtures of unusual shapes.
- Depth and dimensions. They determine the bathing position: sitting or reclining.
- Material of manufacture. The weight, wear resistance and durability of plumbing fixtures depend on it. So the most durable and practical are products made of cast iron, but they are heavy. Bathtubs made of steel are lighter than cast iron, but the water in them cools quickly. The lightest plumbing fixtures are made of acrylic, but they are not durable. Photo of bathroom design 6 sq. m with a cast iron bath can be seen below.
You can put a glass partition near the bathroom. It will prevent splashes from spreading onto the floor of the room. Typically, the partition takes up a third of the length of the bathroom.
If you are installing a shower stall, you can choose a corner model so that it takes up a minimum of space. An alternative to a bathtub can be a shower stall with a tray. The shower stall is covered with a curtain or glass partition.
Other plumbing
In addition to a bath or shower, the combined bathroom has 6 square meters. m set:
- Toilet. The bathroom is 6 sq. m can easily fit a full-sized toilet. You can add elegance to a plumbing item and at the same time save space using a console model. In this toilet, the flush cistern is built into the wall.
- Sink. You can put a washing machine or cabinet under it. In such a situation, the washing machine should be horizontal loading and have a capacity of about 3 kg. Such models are the most compact, their height does not exceed half a meter. If there are many people living in the apartment, you can install two sinks.
- Bidet. Not a necessary element of the bathroom. For a combined bathroom, it is recommended to install a compact hanging bidet.
Harmonious interior of a bathroom 6 sq. m, combined with a toilet, can be seen in the photo.
Household appliances and furniture
In modern bathrooms you can find the following household appliances:
- Washing machine. If you purchase a machine with vertical loading, then it can be placed in any part of the room, even in a corner. For a top-loading washing machine, you must leave room for the doors to open. But its surface can be used instead of a shelf.
- Electric water heater. Wall mounted. It is better to install it above the toilet cistern. The volume of the boiler depends on the number of people living in the apartment.
A bathroom cannot be complete without storage systems. The room is 6 sq. m can be supplied:
- Dressing table with mirror. If there is not enough space, the mirror is hung on the wall, usually above the sink. You can place hygiene products inside the dressing table.
- Cabinet for household chemicals: cleaning products for plumbing fixtures, washing powders and others. The owners can install a floor-standing model in their bathroom or attach a wall-mounted one.
- Open wall shelves. A great alternative to a closet. Shelves take up minimal space. The only negative is that the contents of the shelves must be arranged beautifully so that they do not spoil the appearance of the room.
- Tall and narrow pencil case. Allows you to divide the space into two functional areas: bathroom and toilet. Modern bathroom design ideas 6 square meters 2022 are presented in the photo.
A competent approach to developing the design of a 6 sq.m. bathroom. m will allow you to create not only a functional, but also an aesthetically beautiful interior. In such a bathroom, taking water procedures should seem pleasant to all family members.
Types of window designs in the bathroom
There are several design options - they differ in shape and design.
The most common one for us is a small window located high. This is a solution when the room faces a busy street. But in order for the window to perform not only a decorative function, but also one of its main tasks - ventilation, it must be at a height of at least 170 cm. In this case, the ceiling will never become covered with mold.
If the bathroom is large, more than 6 square meters, you can afford French or panoramic glazing. This is a common technique in apartments located on the upper floors of multi-storey buildings, in luxury houses or cottages, from where a beautiful view opens.
Arched and round openings look more decorative. The former will fit into a classic or neoclassical interior, the latter are more versatile. Round shapes look great in almost any bathroom design with a window.
Among non-standard solutions, the following types of structures should be noted:
- porthole design;
- along the entire wall of the bathroom;
- unusual placement on the ceiling in the room;
- false window.
Each of the listed options has its own characteristics.
Porthole
A window in the shape of a porthole looks beautiful and original, through which light enters the room, evenly distributed along the walls. A porthole window always looks impressive. It is also used as a decorative element to decorate the interior.
Full wall
A window that occupies the entire wall of the bathroom looks impressive. A room with this design will always be illuminated with maximum daylight. If the room is on the ground floor of the house, then it is important to think about decorating the window with opaque curtains.
On the ceiling
A window structure placed on the ceiling of the room creates an intimate atmosphere in the bathroom. Good room lighting and uniform light distribution are the main advantages of the design solution. Disadvantages include difficult maintenance of the structure and its high cost.
False window
Imitating a window structure will not make the room brighter or add a flow of sunlight. The false window will fit perfectly into the function of an original and non-standard design element.
Such windows come in a variety of shapes: oval, arched, repeating different geometric shapes. The uniqueness of the room will be ensured through the use of false windows.
Between the bathroom and the kitchen
Windows in apartments of the period of Soviet development - not only in Khrushchev, but also in Stalin and Kirov, were designed to increase the degree of illumination in the bathroom during the daytime. On dark evenings, the bright light from the bathroom spilled into the kitchen and acted like a small bedside lamp.
A bathtub in a Khrushchev-era building could be only 3 square meters in size, and in early Stalinist houses a bathtub was not installed at all, and the apartment had only a sink and a toilet. You won’t find such a design element in new apartments, and its functionality is a controversial issue. As a rule, such windows were installed in the 80-90s. But if you moved into an apartment and such a window is still there, you can somehow improve it.
Some masters go even further: on the contrary, they expand such a window and insert stained glass into it, while simultaneously decorating the interior of the kitchen and bathroom. If the partition material allows, the window opening can be significantly expanded to a quarter of the wall, and a glass block window can also be inserted - this will increase the illumination in the bathroom and maintain the necessary privacy.
Between the bathroom and the bedroom
With such an aesthetic solution, the opening can be made from the bedroom side. Inside the bathroom, the same tools will work: roller shutters or roller blinds.
Without reference to the interior
If the window opening is located high under the ceiling, is very small and generally does not affect the compositional design of the space, it is better not to focus on it. You can play up the design with a roller blind to match the wall or not touch it at all, shifting the focus to the furniture: the graceful curves of the bathtub, a large chandelier.
If the window is narrow and high enough, located in the center of the wall and, despite its compactness, takes up enough space in the room, it makes sense to emphasize its presence with:
- painting in a shade that contrasts with the wall;
- dense Roman lampshade with an expressive pattern on the fabric.
Window adjacent to the bath
The classic layout is when the opening is large enough, and the sides of the bath are 10-20 centimeters below it. Having made such a window, you will not only have to solve problems with protection from the sun and, if necessary, from prying eyes, but also provide an anti-dirt coating for the glass: splashes are inevitable and such a coating will make cleaning easier.
- roller or Roman blinds;
- shutters;
- half frosted glass, when only the lower part is frosted. This will provide privacy in the bathroom and leave an unobstructed view of the outdoors.
Even if the bathtub is separate, but is located close to the window, you should not furnish it “as in a room” with full-sized curtains and tulle: due to regular drops of water on the fabric, the curtains will become damp and an unpleasant odor may appear.
Bathtub freestanding from the window
And in this case, a full-fledged decorative design is appropriate - when drops of water are out of the reach of the curtains, you don’t have to worry about their durability. However, it is important to provide a good exhaust hood and a high-quality dehumidifier: even with natural ventilation, the bathroom remains damp. If you are going to decorate the window “as in the room,” then it makes sense to organize the rest of the bathroom design in this spirit: an elegant pendant lamp, a pouf or armchair, paintings and art objects.
Two or three large windows
With such design data, designers usually center the bathtub relative to the windows, choosing a spectacular model of a non-standard shape or from an expensive expressive material - marble, travertine. The windows themselves are designed in such a way as to emphasize the design of the space and the beauty of the plumbing.
Corner window
This layout can be found in minimalist apartments and private houses. Large-scale panoramic glazing in the design of a bathroom with a window (photo) does not require additional finishing. To add privacy and protect your eyes and interior from direct sunlight, you can:
- roller blinds;
- fully or partially frosted glass.
Features of bathrooms 6 sq. m
The first difference is whether a combined bathroom or a separate bathroom is planned (this area allows for both options).
Stylish and practical bathroom in a combined bathroom
The most significant features are the number of doors and the overall dimensions of the room. In long and square rooms, the arrangement and design will be different. The presence of a second door reduces usable space, use special solutions.
It is worthwhile to carefully approach the planning of rooms with irregular outlines, various niches, protrusions, it is worth choosing the optimal equipment and building in cabinets. The measurements must be made accurately.
The sink is well placed in the wall recess to the right of the entrance
Bathroom design 6 sq. m.
You can independently create an attractive design for a 6 sq. m bathroom only with the right approach to the matter. First, you need to think carefully about everything, decide on the family’s requirements, the size of the budget, and draw a preliminary project on a regular piece of paper. This approach will not allow important details to be overlooked.
Proper layout will help make your bathroom more functional.
Owners of a 6 sq.m. bathroom meters, you will have to decide in advance what to choose: shower, bath? This area is not enough to install both types of plumbing fixtures at the same time. If there is an urgent need for two functions, you can try to combine them. To do this, an additional shower is installed above the bathtub, simulating a tropical downpour.
Small bathroom with corner bath.
In order for a 6 sq. m bath to have an attractive design, you need to remember that all plumbing fixtures must be compatible with each other. The interior will not be complete if the toilet, sink, shower stall, or bathtub are purchased in different shapes, configurations, and colors.
Bathroom combined with toilet in beige tones.
When creating a preliminary plan for your future bathroom, be sure to consider the following helpful tips:
- The refurbishment of the room must be comprehensive. You should not change the cladding, leaving the old communications and plumbing equipment. Old pipes will definitely make themselves felt in the near future.
- It is better to divide a small room into functional zones. The washstand and toilet should be located a little further than the “wet zone”. The area with accessories should be placed closer so that everything is always at hand.
- The average size of a room is not a reason to abandon space-saving methods. So, a great idea would be to purchase and install a console toilet. Its tank is hidden in the wall, which saves about thirty centimeters.
Design of a bathroom combined with a toilet in white and pink tones.
The fashionable interior of a bathroom combined with a 6 sq. m toilet (photo) presented below will tell you more clearly. From the ready-made ideas in the photo, you can highlight a lot of useful things for your home.
For combined bathrooms, you need to select all the plumbing in the same style.
What will fit on 6 sq. m
What pieces of furniture and plumbing fixtures can be placed quite comfortably and freely, without compromising the convenience of the owners, on 6 square meters? m:
- Bathtub - regular or corner; as an option, choose a suitable project with a jacuzzi.
- A shower stall - to have it or not - is the choice of every apartment owner. There are people who, having a bath, almost never use it. In this case, you can choose a bathroom project with one shower stall - space and money will be saved. In addition, now on sale you can find shower stalls with a small tray into which you can pour water to let children splash. The design of a shower stall can be very stylish - the interior only benefits from its presence.
- In the combined version, it must be placed on 6 square meters. m also a toilet. Such a project will be more complex, but, nevertheless, the interior of a combined bathroom can be quite attractive.
Lighting and accessories
Installation of lighting fixtures for the bathroom should be provided for at the renovation stage. If you install a suspended ceiling, then all the wires can be hidden under it.
For this room, the presence of different power lamps is welcome. If you do laundry or cleaning, you can turn on general lighting in the form of a chandelier on the ceiling. While taking hygiene procedures, it is pleasant to soak in a warm bath, listening to pleasant music and dim lights.
Almost no room is complete without accessories. The bathroom is also full of them. Starting from a stand for toothbrushes and ending with a rug on the floor.
If there is furniture in the room, then you can do without shelves, although it is much more convenient to place toothbrushes and soap on them. Often such devices are hung near the sink so that you don’t have to reach far.
No matter how many cabinets and shelves there are in the bathroom, you cannot do without hooks. We hang towels and bathrobes on them. Hooks can be self-tapping or regular with Velcro. The selection of such accessories in any store is huge.
Dirty laundry should also have its place. Usually special baskets are used for these purposes.
If the shower stall has a door, then the bathtub is usually separated from the rest of the space by a curtain. A large selection of such products in stores allows you to choose a design to suit any decor style.
The cheapest curtains are made of polyethylene, but they cannot boast of their durability and practicality. Perhaps their price is their only advantage.
Vinyl curtains are usually equipped with weights so as not to stick to your wet body during procedures.
Textile curtains impregnated with a water-repellent composition not only look beautiful, but are also more practical.
Nowadays glass curtains are becoming more and more popular. They have their own installation subtleties, the cost is much higher than all others, but it's worth it.
The finishing touch to the design is a rug on the floor.
When purchasing such a bathroom accessory, pay attention not only to its appearance and design so that it fits harmoniously into the interior of the room, but also to the material. It is desirable that it is not afraid of high humidity and is easy to wash
Advice. Choose bathroom accessories that match the color of the wall covering; they, merging with the room, will not take away the necessary centimeters.

Stylistic design of bathrooms with a window
To create a spectacular bathroom design with a window, designers use a variety of styles.
Minimalism
When choosing a minimalist style in the interior, the main emphasis is on its functionality. A window of various shapes fits perfectly into such a room. Thanks to the daylight passing through it, the room becomes brighter, more spacious and more familiar. The most common choice of window design for such an interior is a standard rectangular window.
Modern
This style is in many ways similar to minimalism. But unlike the latter, it acquires a bright palette, many decorative elements and color spots.
When choosing the color of walls and furniture, pay attention to one thing: splashes of water and white spots may remain on dark surfaces. If you're not prepared to clean every day, it may make sense to go for easy options.
Eco
There is no particular difference between these two directions when decorating a bathroom with a window. Both styles involve simple solutions: light colors, natural materials and simple decor.
If white tiles seem boring to you, you can choose a cream-colored analogue for the walls and floors or, for example, cool options in shades of gray.
Fresh flowers and plants look very beautiful. Also, if there is a window opening, the choice of green becomes wider. Sansevieria, chlorophytum, calathea, philodendron, monstera and others are considered the most unpretentious.
Neoclassical
In their pure form, it makes sense to consider these styles only if the bathroom area allows. Small and medium-sized rooms may not be able to handle excess. If you decide to decorate in this style, choose textures that are close to natural - stone, gilding, porcelain and exquisite ceramics. The finishing touch will be heavy curtains with hooks and lambrequins.
Oriental

What is the best way to decorate a 6 square meter bathroom? m:
- Often now, to decorate a decent-sized bathroom, a contrasting design is used: when the top, approximately to the middle of the wall, is light, and the bottom is dark. In this case, the walls and floors are decorated with traditional tiles, and sometimes with mosaics or porcelain tiles. This project is good because it visually expands the space, making the bathroom spacious.

A few useful nuances that will help you design your bathroom space in the best possible way:
Of course, a bathroom with a decent amount of space is great. But if you want to accommodate several massive objects in this area at once, then you need to take care of ergonomics so that there is room for free movement. Wall hung toilets and a bathtub with a non-standard triangular shape will help save space - this design will fit perfectly into the far corner of the room - the ergonomic layout will save you a lot of space. Consider a slightly smaller sink than usual. As studies by specialists have shown, the size of the sink in the bathroom has almost no effect on the “quality” of the services it provides, and the external design and interior do not suffer either. Through such thoughtful savings in the bathroom space of 6 square meters. A washing machine, a cabinet for household chemicals and hygiene products, and even a laundry basket will fit perfectly into the space. Great advice - before planning renovations, purchasing plumbing fixtures and furniture for the bathroom, first study all kinds of design projects that are now widely presented on the Internet. Various design options for a 6 square meter bathroom. m can give you interesting thoughts and give you great ideas on how to decorate the interior. Bathroom project for 6 square meters. m allows you to make a real designer “masterpiece” out of this room. You can even hang a real ceiling chandelier, decorate a mirror on the wall with elegant candelabra, and decorate the room with other original methods. All these details, as well as suitable tiles and other finishing elements, will make the interior of an ordinary bathroom luxurious. Think carefully about how everything will be located in the bathroom. Measure its parameters, calculate exactly how you will move around the bathroom when all the furniture and plumbing are in place
It is important that nothing interferes with free movement - so that there is no danger of bumping into sharp corners and protruding elements - such an interior will only cause inconvenience. As for lighting, designers recommend creating multi-level lighting for a medium-sized bathroom - at least 2 levels. For example, there is a central ceiling lamp and on the sides of the mirror there are also sconces
If you want to add soft diffused light to your bathroom project, then place a spotlight near the floor along the perimeter of the bathroom. If you want your bathroom to appear larger, purchase several wall cabinets with mirrored doors. They will play a functional role as a warehouse for important small items, and the mirror design will visually double the size of the bathroom. The use of glass shelves and tabletops made of durable tempered transparent glass will give the room airiness and lightness, visually expand it, and make it larger. This design creates a “weightless” interior that will turn the bathroom into a stylish and beautiful room. As for the ceiling, hanging options for decorating such a bathtub are the optimal solution. They can be made in any design, they look great, add completeness to the room, and look expensive and noble. Don't use too many decorative finishes when decorating your bathroom. Otherwise, there will be a feeling of congestion, and the room will visually become smaller. In addition, all decorative elements should not be massive and bulky. It is better - small or medium-sized - so your bathroom project will become truly thoughtful and stylish. A design with a diagonal pattern on the walls will visually make the bathroom wider, while a horizontal pattern will lengthen the room, but make it look more squat.

Window opening design options
It’s good when all the conditions coincide in such a way that it is possible to leave the window opening free from various curtains, blinds and other elements. But if you still need to hide your space from prying eyes, then you should choose a method that will harmoniously fit into the style of the interior.
- decorate a window opening in a room decorated in eco style using textile elements. Wooden blinds or neat curtains in sand tones will help not spoil the atmosphere of unity with nature. Not all natural fabrics can withstand constant exposure to moisture. Please check this point when purchasing. You can also use horizontal or vertical roller shutters. And the “day/night” models will help you adjust the desired level of illumination.
- A window in a room in a loft or hi-tech can be decorated using blinds in steel shades. It is better that their color matches other interior items. You can also use roller blinds in light gray or white shades.
- Romantic styles involve the use of light, airy textiles that will barely hide the environment outside the window. In addition to light curtains, you can use small curtains with floral or other floral patterns. The color of the picture should resonate with some object in the room.
- A bathroom window in a modern or medieval style will be complemented by Roman blinds in rich colors or regular curtains. Don't forget about decorative garters with tassels.
- If you decide to use textile elements that are attached to the cornice, then choosing a darker shade for it than the wall color will add additional emphasis to the window opening.
- If you are using a curtain for the bathroom, then you can choose a similar pattern or color to decorate the window.
- Another unusual and healthy option to limit the view into your bathtub from the street is a living barrier. We are talking about climbing indoor plants; they need to be planted in a flowerpot that will take up the entire length of the window sill. They will be very comfortable in an atmosphere with high humidity. And thanks to them, the interior will instantly come to life. You can create a mini-garden on your windowsill from different types of plants.
We hope that after reading this article, you will be able to make sure that the window in the bathroom does not spoil the interior, but, on the contrary, makes it more open and bright.

Color solutions for 6-meter bathrooms
Although this is a good size by Russian standards, a 6-meter room cannot be called spacious. Therefore, you need to carefully consider the choice of colors for the future interior. Using very dark or saturated colors can narrow the perception of space, making the room seem cramped. It is worth using lighter shades, including combining them with other colors.
Turquoise colors and good lighting will make the bathroom sparkle
Using different shades also allows you to zone the space, for example, if you have a long and narrow room.

Unusual bathroom decor and lighting, finishing touches to the interior
Interior details, which are the highlight of the design, are carried out at the final stage, but are usually planned much in advance. This applies in particular to lighting. If wiring has not been planned, any electrical appliance will be difficult to install without exposed wires. Therefore, we advise you to involve a designer, so as not to be disappointed later, having spent a large sum on repairs.
Good lighting will add coziness to the interior
The decor will be made unusual by mosaic panels, a podium, rounded interior elements (ceilings, partitions), rarely used materials (stone), rare design of plumbing fixtures, photo printing on tiles, the use of windows and living plants. Many similar ideas can be found on the Internet. The participation of a professional will certainly help create a unique project.

Choosing a bath or shower
Usually a bath takes up quite a lot of space, so the bathroom is 6 square meters. m can be replaced with a compact shower cabin. This can be a great option if you are not a fan of taking a hot bath. For a bathroom 6 sq. m, a corner shower stall is best suited. The partition for it can be chosen from transparent glass, and then the entire cabin will seem to dissolve in space.
Shower cabins cope with several tasks:
- save space;
- allow you to shower comfortably;
- free up space for installing other plumbing fixtures, household appliances or furniture.
But it is not at all necessary to choose a shower stall. If you like to relax after a hard day, lying in fragrant foam, then you can install a full-fledged bathtub, even 6 square meters. m. If you are not a fan of water treatments, but there are children in the house, a compact corner bathtub can be a compromise: it is smaller than a standard bathtub, so it takes up little space.
How to make a shower cabin with your own hands
First of all, you need to determine the floor design option: with or without highlighting the pallet above the floor level. Depending on this requirement for the shower stall, the dimensions of the structure are determined - the floor area that can be allocated for drainage equipment.
Based on the measurements, the quantity of materials and their range are determined. It will depend on the choice of floor design.
Materials and tools
Preparing the tools is not difficult. You will need:
- building level;
- brush and roller;
- measuring instruments;
- trowel and spatulas.
The choice of materials is taken more carefully:
Cement is needed to make a concrete base.
- Floor tiles. It is better to take small tiles: it is easier to lay them on curved and inclined surfaces without cutting. Non-slip types are chosen for the floor.
- Cement for making concrete base. It must have a high grade (M400-M500, according to new standards - 32.5-42.5). Cement can ensure the waterproofness of the structure.
- Sand and crushed stone.
- Moisture-resistant brick (sand-lime brick can be treated with hydrophobic agents) or foam blocks (for the option with an overhead tray).
- Waterproofing materials: mastic, bitumen resin or roll membranes.
- Tile adhesive (waterproof, for bathtubs or pools), acrylic or silicone sealant.
- Plumbing equipment: drain or siphon, channel, etc., shower with watering can (standing on a rod, with a flexible hose, built into the ceiling), sewer and water pipes.
- Glass walls with doors or plastic curtains.
Preparing the base
It is necessary to dismantle the old flooring on the platform under the podium. If you plan to install the shower flush with the floor, remove all the old screed in the bathroom. It is necessary to clean the floor down to the floor slab, remove tiles from the walls and a layer of plaster down to the main partitions. Then you should determine the horizontalness of the base: if there are strong differences in height or many surface defects, it is advisable to fill the rough screed.
Preparing the base for the shower.
After it hardens (at least 7 days), work can continue. Waterproofing of the ceiling is carried out by coating it with mastic or bitumen over the entire area of the future shower enclosure. It is also advisable to insulate the area extending approximately 15 cm beyond the cabin. The waterproof layer should cover the walls to the height of the future podium with a pallet or to the level to which the floor will be raised.
We install pipes and build a foundation
The location of the drain is determined when drawing up the project. During preparation of the base, the drainage device is positioned according to plan - closer to the main sewer pipe. The installation level of the siphon or drain should allow the pipe to be laid with a slope towards the main of at least 3-4° (place bars or bricks under the siphon). This way the outflow of water will be sufficient so that it does not accumulate in the pan. The drain cannot be laid horizontally.
In a private house or bathhouse, you can install a vertical siphon to drain the drain through the floor, if communications are installed there. The option ensures complete outflow of water without stagnation.
At the same stage, the base of the podium or floor is prepared:
Preparing the base of the podium.
- for insulation from below (if necessary), an EPS slab (4-5 cm) is placed on the waterproofing layer;
- pour the first layer of screed (in the area of the shower box or over the area of the entire bathroom), the concrete layer is 4-5 cm;
- leave until hardened for 5-7 days;
- waterproof the screed by covering it with mastic or a rolled membrane (roofing felt, thick polyethylene, etc.);
- pour the next layer of screed, forming a slope towards the drain (1 cm for every 1 m of length) in the form of a bowl if the drain is in the center, or a general slope if using a drain channel.
When using different design ideas, base options are possible:
- for the finished pallet, support walls are laid out in the form of a border of the required size from foam blocks or bricks;
- for a homemade bowl, form the sides, raising them to the desired height;
- if a seat is planned for the shower, its base is laid out from blocks or bricks, built-in shelves, missing partitions, etc. are also formed.
Waterproofing the pallet structure
Performing waterproofing.
Waterproofing should be carried out at 2 levels:
- insulate the floor before installing plumbing equipment;
- insulate the bottom layer of the screed at a level below the drainage ring.
This will completely prevent leaks in the apartment.
When performing waterproofing, it is necessary to carefully close the joints of the walls and the floor so that water does not leak outside the bowl when flowing down the wall of the pan.
Leveling the surface
When the installation of the base is completed, they move on to finishing work. These include forming the sides of a homemade pallet or giving the desired shape to the outer wall of the curb under a purchased container. If the cabin is without a tray, then at this stage the floor in the bathroom and the inclined surfaces of the drain are leveled.
When performing these operations, you should take into account the thickness of the tiles and try to leave enough space for laying them so that the edges of the drainage equipment are at the same level or slightly below the cladding surface. The grate should not rise above the bottom of the drain.
In order to level the entire surface, it is necessary to prepare a cement-sand mixture.
It is also necessary to level all other surfaces: walls, partitions, built-in seats, protrusions for shelves, etc. Leveling is done with a cement-sand mixture; gypsum putties are not suitable for bathrooms. During leveling, it is necessary to install elements for attaching glass railings, runners for sliding doors, etc., depending on the type of walls of the booth.
Laying ceramic tiles
Laying tiles in the shower begins with applying an antiseptic impregnation and a primer primer for tile adhesive to the floor and walls. This treatment will prevent the appearance of mold and will allow the facing material to be securely fixed.
The technology for finishing a shower requires you to start laying tiles from the floor, and then move on to finishing the walls, starting from their junction with the floor. In this case, the vertical elements will block the corner, providing an additional barrier to water.
Laying ceramic tiles for a shower.
The lining of the floor of a self-made bowl begins from the drain grate. The optimal covering option is small non-slip tiles (they do not have to be cut for installation on trapezoidal drainage surfaces). It is convenient to use a mosaic by shifting its elements as the surface expands. Any material can be used on a flat part of the floor.
Small tiles or mosaics are also convenient for decorating sides. Such elements can be laid on rounded surfaces without resorting to cutting. It is even easier to use a mosaic canvas: you will have to glue not every small detail, but a large piece of the coating, cutting it out according to the size and contour of the surface.
The technology for laying tiles is no different from the rules for tiling walls in a bathroom or kitchen:
- a little glue is applied to the inside of the part;
- press the tile to the base;
- aligned relative to neighboring elements in height and location.
Grouting and cleaning
The seams between the parts of the tile are filled with a moisture-resistant grout mixture, pushing it into the gaps. While the grout has not dried, it is wiped off the surface of the tile with a damp sponge, simultaneously leveling the surface.
Grouting joints.
If finishing was done with mosaic on a mesh, after gluing it to the base and drying, the entire surface is covered with a layer of grout, filling the voids between the squares. The grout is applied with a rubber spatula. When rubbing, the tool removes part of the mixture from the surface of the cladding. The remaining grout should be wiped with a rag until dry.
When the grout layer dries, the tile is brought to a shine by washing off the remaining glue and grout with a sponge and a weak vinegar solution. You can protect seams from mold with moisture-proof tile care products (for example, the German drug Emsal).
Installing cabin doors
Installation of shower doors.
If the dimensions and shape of the shower box are close to the standard dimensions of the cubicles, then it is most convenient to use ready-made glass or polycarbonate cast walls and doors. Most models are mounted as sliding doors. The shower will take up minimal space and can even be located next to the toilet or sink in a cramped combined bathroom.
If there is a lot of space, you can fence off the shower with homemade structures made of colored, translucent glass or polycarbonate. The door is made hinged, with 1 leaf, or you can purchase fittings for making sliding doors (at a furniture store).
A budget option is to install a rod with curtains. You can also use the fence in island types of boxing: by moving the curtains to one side, you can easily free up bathroom space. It is convenient to install a spacer rod between 2 parallel walls, without drilling or labor-intensive fastening work. The advantages of such a shower are the ability to change the design and the absence of partitions, even transparent ones.
Furnishing features
A 2 by 2 meter bathroom does not allow many planning projects to be considered. The choice of furniture and plumbing will be determined by:
- Dimensions of each wall;
- Location of the doorway;
- Place of water supply and drainage.
The correct arrangement of furniture and plumbing fixtures will make the bathroom more functional and cozy
Based on this, you need to decide what furniture and plumbing can fit in a small bathroom.
Which bath to choose
If there is an extreme need, and the length of one of the walls allows you to install a full bath, this option is possible. However, you need to take into account that in a small bathroom there will no longer be room for other furniture. Therefore, if possible, it is better to abandon a large bathtub and choose a compact sit-down or corner one.
- The plumbing market today offers many compact acrylic bathtubs, the smallest sizes of which start from 120 cm (length).
- Corner options do not clutter the interior of a small 2 by 2 meter bathroom, leaving the center of the room free. Such bathtubs can be shaped like a “quarter circle” or will be extended along one side.
To save useful space, a bathtub with a beveled corner is often used.
Any option fits well into the design of a 2 by 2 meter bathroom, as can be seen from the presented photos.
Shower instead of bath
An alternative to a bath, if there are no small children in the house, is to install a cabin or organize a shower area. In this case, it is better to choose a corner option with a semicircular door. The absence of sharp corners in a small bathroom will avoid unnecessary injuries. It is better to choose a compact shower room (minimum size of the cabin is 80*80 cm).
Corner shower cabins significantly save space and look very stylish in the interior of a small bathroom
As an option, you can install a glass partition and organize a drainage point in the floor, without installing a tray. Now you have the opportunity to organize a real tropical shower - and your children’s delight will know no bounds. Such a shower area will be closed only during use, and the glass partition will not block the light, and the small bathroom will not seem cramped and dark.
Before installing a shower indoors, you should take care of the drainage
Toilet installation
Create a design for a small bathroom without a toilet, even with an area of 2 square meters. meters is not the most difficult task. The photo shows different ways of arranging furniture. But if you also need to fit a toilet into the bathroom, only design virtuosos can do it.
However, not everything is so critical. Even minimal square meters can accommodate compact plumbing fixtures. Corner options, in which the tank is triangular and fits neatly into the corner, will not take up much space.
To save space, very often in combined bathrooms the toilet is installed in the far corner
If there is a small niche in the bathroom, you can install a compact toilet here. There are two options - place a shelf or a wall cabinet for household chemicals in a niche above the cistern, or choose a wall-hung toilet with an installation.
The ideal place to place a toilet in a small room is a niche
Should I give up the washbasin?
Giving up a washbasin if you have a bathtub may be justified by the desire to save a few square centimeters, but is it worth it? The plumbing market offers interesting types of mini-sinks measuring 30*20 and even smaller, corner washbasins, for which you can always find a place. Therefore, you shouldn’t give up convenience, you just need to find the element that fits perfectly into the size and design of a small 2x2 meter bathroom.
To save money, the sink is often replaced by the bath itself.
Pay attention to the photo - the compact bowl is placed on the countertop hanging over the bathtub. This version of the overlay bowl is this year’s trend.
It does not spoil the interior; it allows you to place a cabinet below for bath or household items, and the table top serves as a shelf for small hygiene items.
An ideal solution for small spaces would be a corner sink located above the bathtub.
Another fashion trend is a transparent bowl, a transparent tabletop. Ultra-modern high-tech offers a convenient and stylish option for a small bathroom. Only the water supply and drain pipes are visible - glossy, shiny - a design element in itself. The whole structure seems to float in the air.
A transparent sink is a must-have in modern bathroom design
Bathroom layout with window
Bathroom designs with windows can be a challenge for owners at first, as everyone wants to take advantage of the potential of natural light. Therefore, it is worth knowing what to avoid and what to consider when arranging this interior.
Selecting window height
The window in a small bathroom is often high, so you can install a bath or toilet underneath it. However, remember that they need to be opened and washed. A small skylight will allow daylight into the bathroom, but it will be difficult to access. The height of the bottom edge of the window depends on whether plumbing is installed underneath it.
The size and position of the bathroom window affects the layout of the bathroom. In a well-executed bathroom design, the window should not limit the possibilities of a convenient layout.
Arrangement rules
If the bathroom is on the ground floor or on a floor without a dormer window, the design will be different. A change in equipment arrangement is required. To equip a bathroom with a dormer window, you need to install a bath, washbasin, or leave this space free.
Shower enclosures must be custom-made, so owners usually choose a bathtub. If the window is large (but not down to the ground) with a great view, consider having a bathtub underneath it. A small window provides natural light, let it play a decorative role.
The mirror in the bathroom does not have to be in front of the window. This is a detail that is easy to overlook. A mirror near a window will reflect light, which can be annoying.
It is important to provide easy access to the window. Even if it serves a small function in your bathroom, that doesn't mean you should never open it. This is important not only for ventilation in the room, but also for easier cleaning.
Choose non-staining tiles and furniture. In daylight, you will very well notice all the imperfections, dirt and fingerprints. Touchless faucets also deserve attention. They provide ease of use and you don't have to worry about getting dirty.
There are also models on the market with a special anti-fingerprint coating that are easier to clean.
Do you have a shower stall or screen in your bathroom? Remember that everything is visible even on glass doors and walls. Therefore, look for materials with special stain-resistant coatings.
When it comes to tiling, you can see any streaks. However, they are good for small bathrooms because they reflect light. Therefore, matte is more practical in terms of cleaning. There is also the issue of choosing the color of the tiles. On plain ones, we will undoubtedly notice dirt fairly quickly, while multi-colored ones mask imperfections.
