In most apartment types, the bathroom area is relatively small. Under the limited space, the necessary functions in it are the wash basin, toilet and shower. Therefore, no matter how small the bathroom is, its function is the same as that of the large bathroom! If you want to make the small bathroom convenient and comfortable, the layout of the bathroom itself is also a crucial factor. If the bathroom is too small and difficult to arrange, it is necessary to do a little optimization and transformation of the layout! So if the area is small, is the layout of the bathroom a long strip or a square shape?
1. The necessary functions and dimensions of the bathroom
The necessary functions in the bathroom are the wash basin - providing the washing function, the toilet - providing the toilet function, and the shower room - providing the shower space. So what is the size of the space required to meet these functions?
① Wash basin size requirements
The washbasin mainly provides washing functions such as brushing teeth and washing face. The width of the washbasin should be at least 60cm or more, so that when brushing teeth and washing face, both elbows will not be stretched.
▲The width of the wash basin should be at least 60cm
② Toilet size requirements
The width of the toilet itself is only 40-50cm, but when people sit in, there must be a certain space for movement on both sides. Therefore, the toilet plus the reserved space on both sides must have a distance of at least 70cm; if the occupant is relatively burly , the size should be appropriately increased.
▲The toilet should be at least 70cm, including the reserved size on both sides.
③Shower room size requirements
The shower room is mainly for people to stand and take a bath. Generally speaking, the size of the shower room should be about 90cm long and wide, so that people can take a shower in it without being tied.
2. Long strip bathroom layout
In general, long-shaped bathrooms, when distributing wash basins, toilets and shower rooms, are arranged in a "line-shaped distribution". comfortable and reasonable;
If there are many people in the family and the bathroom is not enough, you can also place the wash basin outside the bathroom door, so that even if someone goes to the toilet or takes a shower, others can still use the wash basin normally.
3. Square bathroom layout
Square bathrooms are usually distributed in a triangular manner. Usually, the shower room is located at the diagonal position of the bathroom door, and then the toilet and washbasin are located at both ends of the shower room;
When encountering a small square bathroom, you need to pay attention to the relationship between the toilet and the toilet door. If the toilet door conflicts with the toilet, you need to consider a design such as a folding door!
In addition, when the shower room is located directly opposite the bathroom door, there will be a sharp corner, so that the shower room can be made into a diamond-shaped or arc-shaped, avoiding a sharp corner in the middle of the bathroom.
▲Diamond-shaped shower room, avoid sharp corners.
4. What should I do if the area is too small to be arranged?
When the area is too small, and the washbasin, toilet and shower room cannot be put down normally, how should we design and deal with it?
①Squatting in the pit
Using a squat pit allows the squat pit and the shower area to occupy space for each other, so that the small-area bathroom can also achieve basic rigid-needed functions.
②shower curtain
If you use a shower room, the glass partitions are fixedly installed, and if you use a shower curtain to separate wet and dry, you can use the space flexibly.
▲The shower curtain can be separated from wet and dry, and it can also blur the size division of the shower room and the toilet.
In most apartment types, the area of the bathroom is relatively small, but no matter how small the bathroom is, it should have none of the functions. Therefore, if you want to make reasonable use of the small bathroom, you must consider the wash basin. , toilet and shower room size, layout plan, emergency design plan, etc.
