Small bathroom sizes often become a problem for apartment and house owners.

It would seem that in such a limited space it is difficult to create a comfortable and functional area for hygiene procedures.

However, experienced designers and architects know how to properly organize a small bathroom.

Recommendations were shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design, Yulia Tychino.

The main thing is to use every centimeter of space as efficiently as possible. To begin with, it is worth giving up excesses - a large bathtub, additional cabinets and wardrobes.

Instead of a bathtub, it is better to choose a shower cabin - this will free up space. And instead of massive furniture, use narrow racks and shelves.

The best option for a small bathroom is to install a shower cabin. Modern models are very compact - 60-70 cm wide.

Shower doors can be sliding, folding or swinging - this makes it easier to enter.

Another clever solution is to install a corner shower. This saves space and eliminates the need for a shower stall. It is better to install the shower in the corner - it is more convenient to use there.

Narrow racks and shelves are suitable for storing hygiene items. They can be mounted on the wall above the toilet, sink, or in corners.

Mirror cabinets with hinged doors will also be practical. The main thing is that all elements are laconic and take up a minimum of space.

Correctly selected tiles will help to visually enlarge the bathroom space. The best option is large, light matte tiles. You can also use the zoning technique - separate the shower area with contrasting tiles.

It is very important to arrange the lamps correctly. There should be enough artificial lighting, but without unnecessary flashy lamps. Built-in lamps and spotlights look good.

A small window can visually expand the space. If there is none, then it is worth installing mirror tiles opposite the entrance or a full-length mirror. The main thing is to create the illusion of depth and airiness.

Thus, even in a very compact bathroom you can create a comfortable and stylish hygiene area. The main thing is to think through every detail and find the best solutions for a small space.
