Amazing Bathroom Without a Designer — It's Really Possible

We've already shown you the stylish wardrobe in a two-bedroom apartment owned by Polina Dobryanskaya, and today we'll take you on a tour of her bathroom.

Although the total area of the bathroom is only 4.5 sq m, it looks more like a five-star hotel interior. You'll understand why shortly.

1. Lighting with Motion Sensors

Floodlights and a special motion sensor are built into the ceiling, automatically activating when entering the room. In addition to overhead lighting, bottom backlighting is also turned on. LED lights are installed under the tiles covering the bathtub and vanity.

This unusual solution eliminates the need to wander in the dark until regular central lighting is turned on. The floor backlighting also looks great in the overall bathroom design. The furniture appears lighter and seems to levitate in mid-air.

2. Sink

A one-meter sink with a vanity from IKEA is equipped with edge guards. This allows the unit to be placed freely in space, and keeps the owner from worrying that any of her precious bottles might slip off onto the floor.

3. Washing and Drying Machines

A special niche is dedicated to the washing machine and dryer — both are painted in a unified color scheme and beautifully complement the interior. A hatch above the dryer gives access to the boiler.

4. Electric Towel Dryer

In the house where Polina's apartment is located, regular towel dryers cannot be installed, so she chose an electric one. This is not only visually appealing but also very functional.

5. Dark Tiles in the Toilet

The tiles in the toilet area are made in a darker shade than the rest of the wall covering. This creates a certain contrast in the design and looks quite modern.

6. Shelf-Niche Above the Toilet

A decorative window with a shelf for decor items is built between the toilet and the access hatch to utilities. It refreshes the atmosphere of the bathroom and gives it a sense of completion.
