Advantages and disadvantages

You can talk about the merits of furniture in the bathroom for a washing machine for a long time, especially if we turn to special cases. Firstly, furniture provides an opportunity to store things that cannot be dispensed with on the farm. Secondly, the furniture in the bathroom allows you to hide from the eyes of the guests everything that is not worth showing, for example, accumulated dirty linen that was not enough time to wash. Thirdly, the furniture significantly improves the interior decoration of the bathroom, creating a general positive impression for both the owners and guests.

With the help of properly selected furniture, you can solve a lot of practical problems to improve life. For example, you decided to do the laundry, opened the closet in the bathroom, here you will find washing powder and a basket with dirty linen, and a washing machine. A few movements and washing started. No need to go to the pantry for powder, and then drag dirty laundry along with the powder into the kitchen, where the washing machine could stand and then only start the wash. Convenience and time saving - this is what gives us the right furniture in the bathroom.

What are the disadvantages of furniture placed in the bathroom? The main minus is the dimensions. A lot of apartments in our country have ugly small bathrooms.Therefore, the owners have to fight in the literal sense for every centimeter, making space for useful things.

Guessing the space in the bathroom under good furniture, the owners put a smaller bathroom, or even completely abandon it in favor of the shower.

Even the simplest washing machine under a washing machine should have impressive dimensions, otherwise the machine will not fit in a standard size machine. And where to get a place for dimensional furniture, if this place "cat cried"? So you have to abandon sinks and cabinets for a washing machine in favor of compact shelves and racks. But a correctly selected beautiful shelf can improve the design composition of the bathroom. So, probably, the problem here is not in the minuses of the furniture, but in the choice of the furniture itself, that's what we’ll talk about.

Selection and installation

Despite the fact that many residents of our vast country live in standard "Khrushchev" apartments with standard bathrooms, the idea of ​​an ideal bathroom is far from standard for some. With the help of properly selected furniture and other interior items, they manage to turn an ordinary little room into a cozy and beautiful bathroom, which you don’t want to leave. But how to do that?

Firstly, you need to understand for yourself that when you buy furniture in the bathroom under the washer, you change the design of the room, which means that before you make a purchase you need to think about the design of the room as a whole so that future furniture matches the walls, floor and the ceiling, placed comfortably, etc.

And secondly, you need to understand that changing only the furniture in the bathroom is impossible to create the perfect design composition. The purchase of new furniture is better "timed" to overhaul in the bathroom, then the result will be completely different. Creating a designer composition anew, you have more opportunities and chances to get a great result than in the case of constant alterations.

So where to start? What is the approximate procedure you need to follow in order to succeed in choosing furniture for the bathroom, and in creating a beautiful design of the room as a whole.

1. Collect all possible bathroom renovation ideas. The more pictures and videos, the better. Do not be too lazy to shovel the entire Internet in search of fresh ideas. Choose from the entire array of information, in your opinion, the best and most suitable for your bathroom.
2. Sketch a sketch of the future bathroom. Calculate what pieces of furniture and other interior elements will be placed in the room, how they will stand and what size to have.
3. You will not pick up furniture for an individual sketch in the store, most likely you will have to order the necessary items for specific sizes from the masters. But in terms of size it will not be necessary to squeeze, and to look for some compromises - all the ordered pieces of furniture will fall into place without any problems.
4. When ordering furniture in the bathroom, invite the designer of the company that will make you this furniture to your home. Together with him, think through every detail. Express your wishes to the designer and listen to professional advice and make adjustments to the sketch. If there are complex pieces of furniture in the bathroom, then draw a separate sketch for each piece.
5. Having dealt with the sketch and dimensions of furniture, select the right materials for them so that they are suitable for the bathroom not only in color and texture, but also in structure. Do not forget about the fittings either. It should be strong, comfortable and beautiful.

Important! For bathroom furniture it is better to take waterproof material. Of the cheap materials, plastic is most suitable, and of expensive materials, artificial or natural stone.
