A common mistake when decorating a combined bathroom interior: how to correct the oversight
02.06.2023 01:30
A combined bathroom has its pros and cons.
Let's start with the advantages over a separate bathroom. Firstly, having the toilet and bath in the same room allows you to save space.
Secondly, this type of plumbing arrangement frees the owners of the living space from the need to spend a lot of money on repairs.
Now let's move on to the disadvantages. Often a situation arises when at the same time one person needs to go to the toilet, and another needs to take a shower.
As a result, you have to wait until the family member in the bathroom has completed the hygiene procedure.
There is another disadvantage: many people incorrectly design the interior of a combined unit.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, analyzed this error and told how to fix it.
The essence of the error
The toilet and the bathroom have different purposes. And this must be reflected in the design.
The space needs to be zoned in one way or another. If this is not done, then full relaxation while taking a bath will be impossible.
A person will not feel comfortable due to the lack of protection from unpleasant odors. In addition, plumbing for other purposes will constantly be in the field of view.
How to fix the error
The ideal option is to install a partition. Such a wall will both close the toilet and stop the spread of the stench.
If the presence of this barrier in the room is impossible for some reason, then it is necessary to separate the zones using color or light.
Installing separate light sources for the toilet and bathroom or painting the walls in different ways are also good options for zoning the space.
