Bathroom in the bedroom: advantages and disadvantages, interior photos.

Pros and cons

A bathroom located in the middle of the room is associated by many with luxurious ancient halls in which noble people performed their ablutions. Today, combining a bedroom with a bathroom is dictated not by functionality, but by the desire for special aesthetics, relaxation, harmony of soul and body.

Like all original solutions, installing a bowl in a living room has both pros and cons:

How to arrange the bathroom?

If the owner of the apartment does not live alone, then a bedroom combined with a bathroom is fraught with inconvenience for the second person. The noise of water and light can disturb the sleeper, and the only way out in such a situation is a second bathroom. By the way, toilet attributes are incompatible with the bohemian atmosphere, so they should be located in a separate room.

The bathroom in the bedroom can be installed on a special podium, rising and zoning the space, or in the floor – then it will not catch the eye.

Ventilation is of great importance in a bedroom with a bathtub, since an abundance of steam and moisture can damage the finish, decor and furniture. It is worth considering suitable floor coverings (ceramic tiles, moisture-resistant wood) and walls (mosaic, special wallpaper or decorative plaster).

It is ideal if the room is equipped with a heated floor system. In addition, the modern market offers special TVs, lamps and other electrical appliances designed for rooms with high humidity.

If the bathtub is located by the window, it is worth considering thick curtains or roller blinds. A bathtub on legs or “lion’s paws” has a special chic, which will perfectly fit into both a rich classic interior and a provincial country style.

Partition options

To protect against unwanted sounds, as well as splashes of water, the wet area is separated by a partition or curtain. The glass partition can be completely transparent, matte or darkened – made of tinted glass. Sometimes the bathroom is separated by hinged doors.

In addition to glass, wooden partitions and special thick curtains are used for privacy.

Design ideas

A bathroom in a bedroom is a great place for a romantic date with candles and relaxing music. It is ideal when the bowl matches the interior design, without standing out from the overall atmosphere. It is also worth considering the lighting – if the room is large, one central chandelier will not be enough, so separate lamps should be installed in the wet area.

A bathtub in the bedroom looks appropriate in many styles, for example, classic: a figured bowl emphasizes the luxury and elegance of the setting. A high-tech bathtub with lighting will fit perfectly into the “interior of the future” in the high-tech style.

Minimalism enthusiasts will appreciate the laconic oval bowl, which will “dissolve” in a light, airy bedroom.

A bathroom in a bedroom is not only a solution for modern residential buildings and designer apartments. Many hotels offer rooms where you can relax in a bathtub while admiring the sea view. Often such interiors are equipped with panoramic glazing.

Examples of bedrooms with a shower

Supporters studio spaces, opposing partitions, place a shower cabin right in the bedroom. Whether they are driven by saving space or a desire for eccentricity is unknown, but this solution does not leave anyone indifferent.

If the area of the room allows, you can arrange a shower room in the bedroom. All communications, plumbing and the tray are hidden behind glass. Instead of a tray, you can use a drain trap, but then you need a slope in the floor so that water does not get into the sleeping area.
