How to Create a Full-Featured Bathhouse in a Small Garden House

This time we are visiting designer Natasha Sorokino. See how she designed a real spa complex in a small garden house.

The spa zone begins right away with a shower room where storage systems are hidden. Both wardrobes were made according to Natalia's sketches, with all the necessary items included. On the side of the shower — shelves, storage systems, and hooks.

On the other side is a functional zone. Behind the facades are a ironing board, washing machine, and household chemicals. There was also space for the necessary textiles in the utility cabinets.

Natalia decorated the cabinet fronts with real volcanic stones instead of handles.

The floor in the shower room is one piece with a slope and no partitions.

In the shower area, there is an order-made wooden bench that has been soaked in salt water for several years to increase hardness. Natalia uses it for cosmetic treatments.

By the entrance to the steam room is a laundry basket. Above the door is a decorative element made from different types of wood shipped from Cuba.

The steam room is considered the heart of the home. This is a Russian bathhouse heated by a wood-burning stove. The stove in the living room heats the stove. It also serves as a fireplace. The stove is clad with talc-chlorite.

Several types of wood were used in the steam room: linden and ash on the top surfaces of the shelves to avoid burning.

The steam room also had a surprise. The lower part of the bench extends out to become an additional sleeping place.

In her steam room, Natalia installed a small window. In the evenings, you can enjoy double pleasure by admiring beautiful sunsets. By the way, Natalia also installed a wooden window frame.
