• It is necessary to measure the distance from the proposed cabin to the door, it should be at least 75-80 centimeters, so that a person would be comfortable with a towel or take off his clothes. The cabin model should not be too bulky so that it does not “eat up” all the free space in the room.

• In a small area, it is often impossible to place the structure in the middle of the room so that there is free access from all sides.This is due to a lack of square meters. It is better to stop on equipment leaning against any of the walls or choose a corner placement option. It will easily fit into the interior and will not interfere when a person moves around the room.
• It is more convenient to purchase cabin doors with a sliding mechanism and a rounded tray.

Shower color

An important aspect when choosing such equipment will be the color. Indeed, the acquired cabin of light shades (beige, milk, ivory, white, pale blue) will visually expand the cramped space of the room. It is important to combine such sanitary equipment with a single execution style with the interior of the room.

Stylish, non-trivial and expensive models look without plastic structures, but completely consisting of glass (modern style). They are increasingly appearing in small bathrooms. Such a shower gives the room an abundance of light, making it more spacious and stylish. The color solutions of such equipment are very different, and the glass can be either transparent or frosted.

The shapes of glass showers range from oval to five-, six-pointed, which makes it convenient to fit them into any room configuration. A distinctive feature of such models will be the lack of a ceiling. Due to this, water vapor does not remain in the cabin, therefore, it creates less condensation on the walls of the cabin.Unfortunately, often people are mistaken when they think that such a cabin is short-lived and fragile. This is a wrong judgment. Glass for the manufacture of cabins has high strength and can withstand even a strong blow. A new trend in the world of plumbing is the soul in the Art Nouveau style, but they are becoming increasingly popular among owners of small bathrooms, due to unusual shapes, a variety of watering cans and simple maintenance of the structure.

Comfortable bathroom interior

It is worth remembering that the price of such equipment is higher than on models with plastic inserts or doors, but their aesthetic appearance is much more interesting.

Modern interior of a spacious bathroom

This room is zoned with lighting, because the more light, the higher and wider it seems. When decorating walls and floors, it is worth paying attention to decorating with medium-sized patterns and ornaments, and ceramic tiles themselves are recommended in light shades. Dark or bright colors “overload” the room, as well as large patterns and the bathroom will seem like a small nook.

The original style of the bathroom

On these sink models, the drain is sideways and it’s easy to arrange a space for the washing machine underneath, saving space in a cramped bathroom. Closed shelves or cabinets are fixed above the sink, which look original and fulfill a functional role, hiding hygiene and cleaning products.
