There are rooms in any living room whose importance should not be underestimated. Of course, this is a kitchen, living room, bedroom. Unfortunately, most people are limited to this list. And this is definitely a mistake. In addition to the above premises, the bathroom is of particular importance. Just think: where are people when they wake up after a dream? Of course, in the bathroom. Here they take an invigorating shower, brush their teeth and do other cosmetic procedures in order to leave the house beautiful. But not only the appearance matters, also do not forget about the mood. And that is why it is important in the morning to get a positive charge. To achieve this result, you can use the right interior of the bathroom.
Photos of the best works of professional designers can be a visual aid. Using them, it is quite possible to independently create a harmonious space in which everything will be thought out to the smallest detail. The main thing is to strictly follow the rules of interior design.
Highlights
It is important to understand that the bathroom has certain features. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the size. Few people can boast of a spacious room, especially if they live in an apartment building. In such rooms there is a sharp shortage of square meters. Therefore, it is very important not to pile up space with objects and ensure that all things are arranged as conveniently as possible. This will allow rational use of every centimeter of area, which, of course, will affect not only comfort, but also functionality.
Creating a modern bathroom interior (photo can be seen in the article), it is worth considering that this room does not have windows. It goes without saying that natural light will not penetrate into it. This aspect must be taken into account when choosing a color palette, as well as when arranging lighting fixtures.
Plumbing
Design requirements change every year. And if recently pipes along the wall were considered the norm, then now they are carefully hidden. Such structures can be left outside only when it is provided for by a certain design style. In other cases, they have nothing to show off in plain sight. Consider this point at the initial stage of planning the interior of the bathroom.
Modern design is created using beautiful accessories. Cumbersome plumbing has no place in the new space. Given that the bathroom is often small in size, compact faucets and other accessories will harmoniously look in it. If the space is sorely lacking, then you can abandon the washbasin. Of course, this will lead to some inconvenience, however, any hygiene procedures can be done over the bathroom. But still, if there is a free corner, then it is recommended to fix a suspended compact sink in it. The place under it should also not be empty, therefore it is recommended to install a cabinet-cabinet here.
Cast-iron bathrooms, although practical, however, are quite bulky in size. As a rule, because of them there is absolutely no room in the room for other objects. It is recommended to replace such a bathroom with modern models. Currently, the stores have very beautiful, compact and elegant pieces that will not only save space, but will give style to the interior.
Color palette
Choosing a color scheme for the interior of the bathroom must be very careful. As mentioned above, in most cases there are no windows in this room, so it is not illuminated by daylight. If you take into account this nuance, as well as the small size of the room, it is advisable to abandon the dark palette. Of course, it is used in modern interiors, but working with such shades is rather difficult, since even the slightest mistake can completely ruin the final result. Better to give preference to classic solutions. It is important to remember that extravagance is good, but within normal limits. An exclusive bathroom interior can be created without going to extremes. To do this, apply natural tones with bright accents. The latter are able to charge a person with a positive, fill him with energy and vitality, which accordingly will positively affect his mood.
Also, do not forget that the light palette allows you to visually expand the borders of the room. Designers claim that representatives of warm colors fill the room with cosiness. But cold tones give the space freshness.

Mirror is an important element in the bathroom. It should be even in the smallest room. Most often, preference is given to cabinets, on the doors of which a mirror is mounted. This solution is as practical and functional as possible.
Furniture requirements
Most people purchase furniture with the expectation that they will use it for several decades. Therefore, not only the appearance of the objects is important, but also the quality of the materials from which they are made. Do not give preference to wooden furniture. The fact is that even after processing, this material does not tolerate high humidity and contact with water. And in the bathroom to limit their interaction will not work.

Bathroom Interior Ideas
A modern interior is created in several stages. First of all, of course, you will need to remove all the old trim and dismantle the plumbing. After these works, the room will be maximally freed from unnecessary items, so nothing will hinder the implementation of new ideas. After assessing the amount of work, making a plan and purchasing materials, you can begin to design the space. You need to start with plumbing. If there is a need to replace pipes, then a new water supply and sewage system is being laid. After that, lighting is carried out. Only after completing these steps, you can proceed to the decoration of the main surfaces.
Currently, a lot of ideas about the interior of the bathroom are presented (the photo can be found in the article), however, the design created using ceramic tiles is considered the most popular. Note that at present this material is sold in a wide assortment. Using it for decoration, it is easy to give the space style and originality. The only thing to avoid plainness is not to choose a tile of boring tones.
If such a finish was previously used in the bathroom, and the owners want fresh solutions, then it is possible to sheathe the surface with plasterboard sheets. After they are covered with a special substance that is resistant to moisture. Plastic panels also look good on the walls. Currently, they are available not only in white, there are any colors available. The stores offer options with various patterns and textures.
A completely fresh idea is wallpaper for the bathroom. This material is moisture resistant, therefore, can be used in this room. The assortment contains quite interesting ornaments. If desired, you can order an individual image, for example, a family vacation at sea.
Do not forget about accessories. In a small room they should not be many, so you can limit yourself to coral branches, containers with sea sand or pebbles, shells.
Zoning. Professional Tips
In the interior of the bathroom, combined with the toilet, it is recommended to use the division into zones. This method allows you to allocate several places in the room, for example, for the implementation of hygiene procedures and natural needs. In the first zone, a bathroom is placed. If the room is too small, then it can be replaced by a shower. A toilet bowl is installed in the second part of the room; a heating tank for water can be fixed above it. It is also necessary to equip the economic area where the washing machine and shelves will be located, for example, for storing linen or cosmetic accessories.
For zoning, you can use both the visual method (with the help of lighting devices, color design), and stationary through glass partitions.
Wall decoration
The interior of the bathroom should be not only beautiful, but also practical. To do this, it is important to choose the right finish for the walls. It has already been said above that the material must have certain properties, in particular, moisture resistance. If the area of the bathroom is very small, you will have to abandon the large print. The fact is that very large drawings hide the space. Of course, you can take a chance, but only on one wall. In other cases, it is recommended to give preference only to a small print.
Preferred colors for the bathroom:
- blue;
- beige;
- sand;
- light gray;
- light green.
Designers advise combining several different shades in the room. This will give originality, get rid of monotony, as well as place accents. Only, when choosing representatives of the palette, it is important to use only those that are harmoniously combined with each other. In order not to oversaturate the space, the number of shades used should not be more than three.
Flooring requirements
The decoration of the floors in the bathroom should be taken seriously. The fact is that after taking the procedures, water will remain on it. Also important is the level of slippiness of the floor covering.
Many people think that only dark shades are suitable for flooring. However, this statement has long been outdated. Currently, preference should be given to light colors, especially if the room is quite small. White floors look creative. This allows not only to visually increase the space, but also to give a feeling of cleanliness.
Lighting
The interior of a small bathroom (photo below) consists of a large number of details. All of them are quite important for the final result. We have already talked about furniture, decoration, zoning. Now it's worth talking about lighting. Both in a small and a large bathroom should be as light as possible. In the opposite case, the space will become gloomy and uncomfortable.
Designers recommend using combined lighting in several levels. The first is the ceiling. For these purposes, scattered light fixtures are perfect. The second level is mirror illumination. Options are currently being offered, already with integrated bulbs.
