Bathroom sizes: what are there and how to choose the best one?

In apartments, the dimensions of bathrooms are usually determined by special standards; the wishes of the owners, even at the stage of housing construction, are usually not taken into account. But the owners of houses and summer cottages can set any size they wish. It is impossible to thoughtlessly approach such an important issue, otherwise after the launch of the dwelling into operation, you may greatly regret your decisions.

It's not a secret to anyone that further placement of the necessary components in it depends on the dimensions of the bathroom. With the right size, you will not regret having allocated too little space for the bathroom. Or, conversely, your bathroom takes up too many precious square meters from other, more needed rooms, such as a hall or a bedroom. In addition, the dimensions must be determined in advance in order to:

• it is convenient to place all the necessary components (toilet, bath, sink);
• correctly distribute the necessary communications;
• think over the decoration of the room.

And you also need to know: all parameters, even the most minimal ones, have their own specific norms and standards (SNiP and GOST). They are provided by law for application in the case when specialized construction organizations are erecting residential apartment buildings or public buildings for various purposes. Here, developers are forced to follow generally accepted rules so that later there will be no problems with the delivery of the object.

Therefore, before starting to remodel something in an apartment, which is located in an apartment building, you need to issue a permit.

However, back to the main issue of bathroom dimensions. In the apartment, they have the following parameters:

• width - not less than 0.8 m;
• depth - not less than 1.2 m;
• the ceiling should be 2.5 m high.

The door from the bathroom should go out into the corridor. In the hallway from floor to ceiling height should not be less than 2.1 m.

Typical dimensions of bathrooms in apartment buildings are usually standard. In the USSR, the size of toilets was not too large. In "Khrushchev" the area did not exceed 3.8 square meters. m. In modern apartments, bathrooms have become much larger, their size reaches 6 square meters. m. And in elite housing the toilet can be more than 9 square meters. m. When planning a bathroom in new buildings, developers sometimes take into account the wishes of future owners in terms of planning and dimensions. Find out about this opportunity from a construction company.

In addition, bathrooms may be of minimum size. And such options are quite common. For example, some toilets may even be much smaller than the standard. For example, there are premises less than 2 sq. m.

Planning a bathroom in a non-standard room is an interesting but painstaking work. That's why if you have a non-standard room in the apartment, then it is better to involve specialists in the work on its arrangement. If you want to expand the room, then without taking into account all the components, you can cause trouble. Up to the point that the wall can collapse.

But if you have a very large private house, then you will have a place to roam. Therefore, in the modern world, non-standard bathrooms are found more and more often. When it comes to the interior arrangement of such a room, the owners can afford to fulfill any ideas. In addition to the standard set of plumbing, they can accommodate additional electronics and furniture. Such rooms are both square and rectangular. There are also original forms of rooms.

But with smaller rooms you will have to tinker. First, you need to draw up a project, which should include the following points:

• binding the doorway to the size of the room;
• connection points of plumbing devices and the height of the connections;
• installation points of the toilet, bath, cabinets;
• points of power supply.

In small non-standard rooms with dimensions of 1.8 m, it is better to replace the bathtub with a shower stall, take the washing machine into the corridor, install a corner sink, over which to hang a mirrored cabinet. The space will be greatly expanded by a suspended ceiling with a mirror effect and white tiled walls.

To make such a room visually appear larger, Combine wall painting with partial tiling. If you finish the room completely with tiles, then you need it to be the same size. It is desirable to lay it out in a diagonal version.

In a room larger than 2.5 m, it is better to remove the partition between the bathroom and the bathroom, since it takes up a lot of space. But the room is 4 sq. m is more comfortable. Here to save space it is better to install the bath in the far corner and sheathe the space around it with moisture-proof material.

A bathroom of 7 square meters is considered spacious. m. In this version, you can install two sinks at once, a bidet and a toilet.

When arranging a toilet in a private house and when drawing up its layout, you need to decide on its size and configuration.Please note that in the bathroom, in addition to the standard set of plumbing fixtures, all appliances should easily fit. At the same time, this room should not take up too much space in the house.

Experts notice that as soon as the construction of a private house comes up with a bathroom, the future owners try to allocate as much space as possible for it. They just do not want to save on meters when placing the necessary things in the room that improve their life.

Because a big restroom will not solve important problems, despite the efforts. It is best to rely on the following generally accepted rules to help answer your questions:

• if you want to place a shower stall, then for its arrangement you need to allocate from 2 to 2.7 sq. m in the room;

• if you plan to install a bathtub (about 170 * 70 cm), then allocate from 2.5 to 4 sq. m;

• a toilet bowl with a cistern can take from 0.7 to 1 sq. m;

• under the sink, you will need to allocate a little more than 1 sq. m.
