We are developing a project

Getting started with planning and development, it is very important to consider everything to the smallest detail. Therefore, thinking over the future design of the premises, the following factors must be taken into account:

• The area of ​​the room plays a fundamental role during the planning, as further interior design will proceed from this parameter. For example, for rooms with a small area, the main task is to visually increase the space. As for the spacious rooms, in this case you have unlimited possibilities for translating all your extraordinary ideas and bold experiments into reality.
• If the bathroom has a window opening, then this is a huge advantage. Thanks to him, an additional light source appears. And if you competently and stylishly decorate it, then the window can also become a bright accent of the room. In the absence of a window opening, the placement of lamps and sconces should be carefully considered so that the room is evenly lit.
• Equally important is the fact that the bathroom will be combined with the toilet. If so, then everything should be carefully thought out so that both zones are functional and do not intersect with each other.
• Do not forget about the constant high humidity in the bathroom. Therefore, not everything is suitable, but only durable and moisture resistant materials.
• The bathroom should be comfortable and functional, so all basic necessities should always be at hand, but at the same time not to interfere and not overload the space.

Important! When planning the design of the bathroom, do not forget about your personal preferences, which you can safely carry out taking into account the characteristics of the room.
