Bathroom in Panel House: 6 Layout Options

Designer Tatyana Krasikova developed six layout options for a bathroom in a panel single-room flat. The initial layout is separate. For convenience, it can be combined, but there is also room for creating interesting solutions without knocking down walls.

Layout of a Separate Bathroom in a 38.3 sq. m Single-Room Apartment of the KOPÉ SeriesWithout ReconfigurationVariant 1: With a Shower

In the toilet, you can install a round toilet designed specifically for small bathrooms to save space, and a full-size deep sink. This is convenient, and the sink does not block the passage. In the bathroom — a 90 cm shower cabin — this will free up space, as well as a full-size sink up to 75 cm, toilet, and a narrow washing machine. Above the washing machine, you can install suspended cabinets for household items.

Variant 2: With a Large Bath

Even on 3 sq. m, you can find space for a large bathtub — if it is corner-shaped. In addition to the tub, a full-size sink and a washing machine can also fit. There is an option to place a regular toilet on the side.

Combined BathroomVariant 1: With a Household Cabinet

In this case, a toilet with an integrated tank was chosen — this reduces its depth and saves space for approaching the washing machine. On one side, a full-size bathtub 170 cm long and a sink up to 90 cm can fit. There is also an option to dedicate a cabinet with sliding doors for various items such as buckets, mops, and household chemicals. The narrow washing machine can be hidden in it.

Variant 2: With a Standard Bath

The bathtub remains in its place, but next to the toilet, a hygiene shower can fit — a rare solution, though very useful. To the left of the entrance — a long single countertop with an integrated sink, under which the washing machine can fit.

Variant 3: With Storage and Laundry

If a laundry area with a dryer (they come only in 60 cm width) and space for storing household items are needed, a wider household cabinet can be made and the appliances placed one on top of another. But then the toilet will have to move, and only space for a shower will remain.

Variant 4: With a Large Corner Bathtub

In this layout, almost everything fits perfectly: corner bathtub, large single countertop with a built-in large sink, narrow washing machine under the countertop. A large mirror can be placed above the countertop, and a hanging cabinet can also be installed. The toilet with a corner tank will free up space for placing a cabinet.
