What should be the bathroom after the renovation? Arrangement options and choice of facing materials
Bathrooms of a separate or combined type are classified as complex rooms in terms of layout and design. A photo of a bathroom after renovation always looks beautiful and is a masterpiece of the professionalism of workers and design creativity. When choosing future examples of bathroom decoration for equipping our premises, we always pay attention to beautiful and comfortable layout and design options, since a bathroom should help you relax and physically relax with all its appearance.
Starting to finish the bathroom, you need to carefully think through everything to the last detail, since the location of interior items, plumbing and design options play a decisive role. Many people cannot imagine what the bathroom will look like after the renovation, where it is better to place plumbing fixtures, what furniture to use and what design style to choose for this room. This is due to the lack of spatial and figurative thinking, as well as insufficient information. You can solve this problem by viewing numerous photographs of bathrooms after renovation, each of which will certainly give food for thought and help to create an approximate image of the future premises.
Looking through the photos of renovated bathrooms, we have the opportunity to observe many unique solutions and can immediately determine which ones suit us.
Looking at the samples, we evaluate them according to such parameters as:
- room size;
- layout;
- types of plumbing used;
- samples of furniture and decorations;
- color performance;
- materials used for decoration.
In this material, we will consider using various finishing materials and with different volumes of the room.
Repair options for different room sizes
The very first criterion by which everyone begins to look for suitable solutions for themselves is the size of the available premises. Agree that it is not advisable to consider samples in large cottages or penthouses if you need to equip a small room in Khrushchev. For large rooms, completely different design rules are provided, which are more aimed at conveying a specific design style, and we need a photo of the bathroom after renovation in the same Khrushchev.
Refurbishment in spacious bathrooms
Large volumes of the premises are notable for the fact that they practically do not limit your imagination and allow you to realize any ideas. Here you can not burden yourself with thoughts about saving space by demolishing partitions, buying compact furniture, or thinking about visually increasing the space. Examples of a room in large rooms always convey a certain style of interior design, and here all thoughts are not aimed at saving space, but at maximum compliance with the chosen theme in order to achieve the proper level of comfort. Such ready-made bathroom renovations are more an indicator of the wealth and refined taste of the owner than the result of painstaking work on space planning.
Refurbishment in medium-sized rooms
Medium-sized spaces are already more of a challenge, not only for interior designers, but also for their owners. Photos of renovated bathrooms in such spaces already contain fewer different design styles, since most of the effort is already spent on the correct layout and compact placement of all interior elements. If you look at the renovation of a medium-sized bathroom, it becomes clear that the space between the bathroom, toilet and washbasin is significantly reduced. This is due to the fact that in such premises, the location of plumbing elements is already tied to water supply and sewerage systems, which cannot always be significantly changed due to the design features of the building. This can be seen in the photo, which shows the bathroom before and after the renovation.
Repairs in small spaces
Such premises no longer need the services of an interior designer, since there is practically no field for his activities. The main task in such rooms is to save as much free space as possible, as you can see by looking at the bathroom renovation samples below.
Many people think that it is almost impossible to compactly equip such rooms, maintain a certain style and achieve maximum comfort. But this is a common misconception and you can verify this by looking at bathroom renovation samples that are made in the so-called stalin or Khrushchev.
Samples of finishing materials for the bathroom
An equally important aspect is the choice of finishing material for different types of premises. Many interior designers choose materials based on the size of the room and its design features. For example, if you look at photos of a bathroom after renovation in large rooms, then in many cases materials such as:
- natural wood;
- decorative plaster or putty;
- wallpaper coverings;
- paints and varnishes.
While in small rooms, plastic or ceramic tiles are almost always used. This is due to the fact that in small bathrooms, during their operation, there is a very high concentration of vapors and moisture, and this requires the use of only waterproof materials as cladding. While in the photo of finished large bathrooms we can see less moisture resistant products.
Ceramic tile
Ceramic tiles are certainly the leader among finishing materials for rooms with a high level of humidity. Almost all samples of bathroom decoration in rooms of any size use this material, since it is distinguished by its unique physical qualities, a large range of color and texture solutions, as well as resistance to mechanical stress. Examples of bathroom renovations may also contain porcelain stoneware or agglomerate, which are also classified as tile coatings.
Mosaic finishing options
Mosaic design used to be typical only for decorating large rooms, since it belongs to the category of expensive ones. But over time, the advantages of this product became obvious and it began to be used not only for decorating walls, but also for cladding furniture surfaces in rooms of any size. You can verify this by looking at real photos of bathroom renovation using mosaics.
plastic finish
Plastic panels belong to the category of budget materials and are mainly used for decorating medium and small rooms. The material is resistant to moisture but has a short service life compared to tiles or stone. An example of a bathroom renovation using plastic panels can be seen below.
Natural wood finishes
Natural wood is rarely used in bathrooms, because without special impregnation and preparation, wood quickly loses its qualities under the influence of moisture. after repair and finishing with natural wood, it acquires solidity and high cost. But such material is used solely as a decorative addition to the overall design and is rarely used in large quantities.
Wallpaper pastings
Many argue that using even moisture-resistant wallpaper for decorating a bathroom is a waste of time and effort, and they will not look good there. Below is a bathroom after renovation and wallpapering, which completely dispels this statement. It is worth noting that this design option is usually used only in large rooms. Examples of bathroom decoration with wallpaper are not numerous and are inherent in the main English design.
Paints and varnishes
The use of various paints for decorating the bathroom only at first glance seems like a cheap finishing option. But such a decoration requires perfectly flat surfaces or the use of decorative products such as plaster or putty. Renovated and painted bathtubs also look chic and allow you to implement various design options using waterproof products.
The use of natural stone
Examples of bathroom renovations using natural or artificial stone always cause delight and admiration, because it looks very expensive and solid. However, with this material, the most important thing is not to overdo it, because its abundant use can only spoil the whole design.
After reviewing all the design options presented above, you can already clearly imagine the bathroom renovation before and after, having formed a clear picture in your imagination.
