Furnishing a bathroom in a two-room apartment is not an easy task.

First of all, you need to take into account that the area of the bathroom in such an apartment is usually small.

Therefore, when planning the finishing and choosing plumbing, preference should be given to compact solutions, says Yulia Tychino .

First, let's decide on the layout. We'll place a bathtub along one of the walls, and a toilet next to it.

Opposite the bathtub we will place a washing machine. And between them - a small cabinet with a sink. This arrangement will allow for efficient use of space.

As for the finishing, it is better to choose light colors - white, beige, gray. This will visually expand the space.

For a bathroom in a two-room apartment, tile finishing is also suitable - for example, imitation brickwork will create a sense of coziness. The main thing is not to overdo it with dark or bright colors.

Now let's decide on the choice of plumbing. For a small bathroom, the optimal solution would be a compact bathtub 1.5-1.7 m long.

It is better to choose a corner model - it saves space. Next to the bathtub we will place a cabinet with a sink - it is also better to choose a compact model about 50 cm wide.

For the toilet, a model with a tank built into the wall is suitable - this will help save useful space. We also choose a compact and narrow washing machine - 40-45 cm wide.

Lighting deserves special attention. In a small bathroom, it is very important to organize the light correctly.

The optimal solution would be spotlights along the perimeter of the ceiling and additionally above the mirror and sink.

Lights with motion sensors will also work. And of course, you can't do without a good waterproof ceiling light above the bathtub.

And finally, a few design tips. To visually expand the space, we use a large wall mirror.

We will also hang shelves or racks for storing all kinds of accessories.

We will pay special attention to the laundry area. It is better to cover the washing machine with a facade in the color of the furniture. We will place a complex dryer nearby to dry the laundry directly in the bathroom.

A few decorative elements will also help create coziness. This could be a rug, a few paintings or photographs on the wall, scented candles.

The main thing is not to overdo it and choose everything in the same style so that the small bathroom looks harmonious.

Thus, having thought through all the nuances, you can successfully arrange a bathroom even in a small area in a two-room apartment.

The main thing is to set priorities correctly and choose compact furniture and equipment. Then the bathroom will be not only functional, but also cozy.
