How I Created a Stylish Micro-Bathroom That Fits Everything

We have already shown an amazing transformation of a 'killed' apartment, which musician Sergey achieved without the help of designers. Today we will tell you more about a stylish and bright bathroom — the only room where the owner did the renovation.

Overview of This Apartment (24 minutes)

About the Start of the Renovation

The apartment was old and 'killed' — completely covered with carpets, canopies, and a large Soviet wardrobe. I did not do any major re-planning, but I had to change the bathroom walls because the space was very small. I had to take everything down to combine the bathroom into a large and beautiful space.

About the Renovation

This was the only room where the re-planning took place. Previously, there were a separate toilet and a small bathroom. We took down all the walls, rebuilt them, and removed the partition. We also replaced the old pipe. The Soviet towel rack was cut off, the pipes were welded together — it was a big job.

About a Useful Discovery

The bathroom space is 4 sq m. My task was to fit a toilet, shower, bathtub, sink, and a large washing-drying machine into this space. By the way, this is a very cool thing: sometimes a washing machine is placed at the bottom and a dryer on top. This requires space. I had little room, so I bought a 2-in-1 device.

About Furniture and Storage

The countertop was custom-made to my dimensions, because everything in the bathroom is very non-standard. The cabinet stores powders and various household products. The cabinet with a soft-close mechanism closes silently. Also, baskets helped organize storage: they hold shampoos and hygiene products.

The mirror is equipped with lighting that turns on with one gentle touch — real magic. For additional lighting, a warm light lamp is used: you can turn off the main light source, light candles, and enjoy a cozy atmosphere.

About the Right Choices

By the way, we used the same tiles as on the kitchen backsplash, and the floor tiles are the same as in the hallway. It creates an interesting intersection.

By the way, we also removed the well-known threshold that people used to trip over. Instead, we created a harmonious transition between the tiles and parquet.
