Bathhouse in a modern style photo. Internal design of a bath: options for arrangement Original designs of baths

Today the bath is gaining more and more popularity among people rushing in the cycle of modern life.

The useful properties of bath procedures on the human body have long been proven by science, therefore, many owners of personal plots seek to build this structure in their yard.

This article brings to your attention a material with which you will get acquainted with the modern approaches used in construction for these premises.

For a visual conviction, just look at a selection of photos, which show ready-made solutions regarding the construction of the whole frame, and interior decoration.

Types of bath projects

Any construction begins with a project that will allow you to imagine what the final appearance of this structure will have, and how much of the necessary materials you will need for this.

In addition, the development of the project includes such parameters as the choice of a place for construction, dimensions, as well as information about the decor and design used.

The most common types of bath projects are:

• Construction of a structure 3 * 3 m, consisting of a standard set of premises - a dressing room and a steam room;
• Construction of a structure 3 * 5 m, here a recreation room with a small kitchen is added to the standard set of premises;

• A plan with dimensions of 4 * 4 m implies the presence of a terrace extension to the above-described type;
• The project of a bath with dimensions 5 * 4, includes the whole complex of premises of a modern steam room, where there can be a separate toilet, a games room, and a salt room.

Basically, the choice of a project depends on the available space on the personal plot and financial capabilities.

Choosing a foundation for a bath

Often, during the construction of this structure, one of the three main types of foundation is used. It can be a strip, columnar or pile foundation.

Tape. It is the most common type of foundation for the construction of most structures, including a bath.

The advantage of this foundation is that it is able to withstand heavy loads, therefore, if your future structure will have relatively impressive dimensions of brick, then this foundation option is ideal for construction.

Columnar. It has distinctive features associated with the simple arrangement of this foundation and small financial investments, it is mainly used for relatively light structures from a bar.

It is erected exclusively in places where large loads occur, which mainly occur at the corners of the building and at the intersection of load-bearing structures.

Pile. This type of foundation is necessary for those who are forced to build their bathhouse on "moving" ground.

This is a reliable type with a rather laborious construction process, and is justified precisely in those regions in which this type of soil dominates.

Errors made during the construction of a bath

Despite the presence of a developed project and the seriousness of the attitude to this case, errors still occur that are inherent in a person when building with his own hands.

It is necessary to pay attention to the following points during construction.

It is necessary to correctly plan the size of the interior. A bathhouse for 2-3 people should not be less than 10m2;

An acceptable ceiling height for such a structure is considered to be a height of 2-2.5 m. In the event of a deviation from this figure downwards, visitors will feel discomfort, and if upwards, heat carriers will be overrun;

It is recommended to choose the materials used for the construction of a bath in the country house or in a personal plot from among light and energy-saving ones.

Particular attention should be paid to the basic bath equipment. It should not only look beautiful, but also meet all safety standards for this kind of structures.

Photo of a bath at a summer cottage

In this article, we will offer several interior design options for baths and saunas - a conservative steam room, a comfortable washing room and a dressing room that has a pleasant rest, while considering the design styles that are best suited for such premises.

A bathhouse, whether it is a modest building detached on a summer cottage or a part of a large country house, is not just a place where you can “steam the bones” and take water procedures, but also an excellent corner for relaxation and pleasant pastime with friends.

But just before inviting guests to your new bathhouse or sauna, you should make sure that its interior looks attractive. Bathhouse interior design is a fascinating experience. Firstly, it is here that you can quite afford unusual experiments with design, secondly, you can not adhere to the general style of home decoration, and thirdly, the bathhouse itself is a very interesting place, suggesting an extremely pleasant stay.

Bath ... Hot steam, delicious hot tea, cool pool or shower water. And also - the original interior, conducive to relaxation and communication

1. Russian bath - Russian interior

The Russian style is an almost ideal design option for a wooden bathhouse, built of rounded logs or beams and not pretending to be particularly splendid and urban gloss.

The beauty of this interior design is that it does not require substantial costs and can be decorated with your own hands. In addition, in such a bathhouse, equipped according to the national traditions of our country, it will always be homely cozy and at the same time beautiful in its own way.

The Russian style in the bath is necessarily wooden walls that do not need additional decoration and decoration, a plank floor, a heater or a Russian stove, simple, rough benches and a large hospitable table made of natural wood in the recreation area. The stove is usually faced with tiles or simply plastered and whitewashed.

An embroidered tablecloth, bath brooms hung on the walls, wicker paths and rugs on benches, as well as all kinds of little things, dear to the heart of the owners and, preferably, inherited from grandmother, will help to decorate such an interior.

The Russian style is perfect for those bathhouse owners who are in no hurry to throw away old things, for example, a massive sideboard made of Karelian birch, inappropriate in a modern living room, a real Tula samovar and a water ladle carved from solid wood. It is these items "with history" that will become the basis of the Russian style of the interior of the bath.

Of course, the Russian stove today is not such a frequent attribute of the bath, but in terms of its functions, a more modern and compact stove will completely replace it.

Traditional birch, oak, fir, alder, coniferous and linden brooms, rough wooden benches and a beautiful embroidered tablecloth on a massive table will be the best decoration of a Russian-style bathhouse.

A vivid example of how easy it is to create a real Russian interior. For this, a samovar on the table, an icon framed with an embroidered towel, popular prints, round seats on benches and a set of dishes suitable for the style are enough.

2. Variations on a country theme

This style, just like the previous one, is perfect for decorating a wooden bath, suggesting the creation of a "rustic" interior, without any special frills and inappropriate ceremonial splendor in this case.

In general, the Russian style and country music are very similar. However, country will bring traditions of other countries to the interior of the bathhouse. So, designers distinguish American and French country, which will differ in the traditional colors of textiles and the use of individual interior elements.

Country French is more sophisticated than American, which is considered one of the simplest. But the main features of this design direction are preserved regardless of the country of origin. So, the interior of a country-style bathhouse is:

1. Wooden furniture, usually light colors, possibly artificially aged and simply varnished. The furniture is decorated with light carvings and polished, which makes it look somewhat more elegant than in the Russian style.
2. Bright dishes that will serve as a highlight in an otherwise very simple interior. Ceramics, white-blue or pale yellow plates, cups depicting rural landscapes, as well as dishes made of natural wood are appropriate.
3. Natural fabrics - cotton and linen of variegated colors.
4. Walls made of timber or logs.
5. Mandatory beams on the ceiling.
6. Ceramic tiles or planks on the floor.

A real ethnic corner, located in the bathhouse recreation area. In country, you can use not only wooden, but also leather, wicker, forged furniture.

Everything is simple and tasteful - this is the basic principle of country music. This option is more similar to the French "rustic" style than to the American one, which took a lot from the national traditions of Indian tribes.

3. We combine the eastern traditions of the Turkish hamam and the Russian bath

The oriental style in the interior always involves the use of bright colors, lush textiles, exotic design elements and special furniture. How to combine in one room, it would seem, completely different in style, a traditional Russian bath and an exotic Turkish hamam for our country?

In fact, if you do not go into the specifics of the bath procedure, but consider the issue from the point of view of design, then the main difference between an ordinary steam room in a Russian bath and the hottest room in a Turkish hamam is in decoration. In the first case, a tree is always used, and in the second, a mosaic.

Yes, mosaic is much more expensive than simple wood shelves. But at the same time, the view of the steam room will turn out to be more original, ceremonial and expensive. If your plans do not include a radical change in the appearance of the steam room, elements of the oriental style can be used in a room with a shower and a pool - this is where bright mosaics and oriental patterns on the tiles will be more appropriate than ever.

In addition, a full-fledged hookah room can be arranged in the relaxation room at the bathhouse by hanging bright curtains, setting a low table on curved legs and scattering multi-colored pillows. The result will be bright, inexpensive, and original.

Mosaic seats - this is the main stylistic difference between the Turkish hamam and the usual Russian steam room.

Even the smallest dressing room can be turned into a cozy and oriental-style lush hookah room. Bright covers on sofas, multi-colored pillows, a low carved table, light, multi-layered curtains and, of course, the hookah itself - that's all you need for this. And tea can be drunk not from an ordinary cup, but from a bowl to emphasize the original style of the recreation area

4. Scandinavian style is a great option for a sauna

Another style of interior decoration that strives for simplicity and naturalness, and therefore is the best suited for a bath or sauna. The Scandinavian interior is not for nothing considered the predecessor of the eco-style that is relevant today. It is in it that the simplicity and deliberate roughness of country is combined with the strict forms and proportions of the classics, ethnic trends find their modern continuation, and the naturalness of wood is adjacent to more technological materials.

In the Scandinavian style, you can decorate not only a wooden bath or sauna, but also a brick building, as well as a relaxation room, which will become an integral part of the house. In this case, walls plastered and painted in neutral tones will accentuate the simple forms of wooden or wrought-iron furniture.

Bath or sauna in the Scandinavian style are distinguished by their laconism, functionality, light colors and simple decoration. It is important not to overload the room with details, while creating several bright accents - for example, by hanging a lamp in a rich red lampshade over the table in the recreation room or decorating the wall with an unusual picture.

There can be a lot of natural wood in the Scandinavian style, as well as in the country. However, in general, this style is more "urban", versatile and allows you to combine wood with artificial stone and other modern materials.

The steam room is always the most conservative room in a bath or sauna. It is difficult to offer something new and original here. And yet, a Scandinavian-style steam room will definitely be distinguished by the lightness of light wood - most often linden, aspen and the African abasha tree are used for this purpose, which is not afraid of either heat or moisture. Experts advise to equip shelves with slots from 1 to 2 centimeters

5. Exotic option - Japanese bath

If you prefer the Japanese style in the interior, you can build not just a bathhouse, but a Japanese-style bathhouse. The main difference between this option is the absence of a steam room as such - it is replaced by a barrel of hot water (furako) and a rectangular barrel with aromatized sawdust or pebbles heated to 60 degrees (ofuro).

The room in which the furako and ofuro will be installed should also be decorated in the style adopted in the country of the Rising Sun. Bamboo screens, a large Japanese fan on the wall, natural shades in the decoration of the walls and ceiling - the laconic Japanese interior gravitates towards natural simplicity.

If you do not intend to give up the steam room and the purchase of furako and ofuro is not included in your plans, you can decorate only a rest room in the Japanese style. A tatami, a low table, a drawing of a sakura branch on the wall - decorating such an interior is not as difficult as it seems.

Light bamboo screens can serve not only as a partition, but also as a decoration for an otherwise ordinary wall, helping to create a Japanese interior in a relaxation room or washroom.

A podium with scattered pillows and a low table may well replace a traditional table with chairs in a rest room.

Furako is a barrel with a height of 1.2 meters and a diameter of 1.2-1.8 meters. You can also purchase more spacious copies. Furako must be equipped with a water heater, a small ladder or a side chair, and the drain at the bottom must be connected to the sewer system

6. Modern classics

It is most often used in fairly large relaxation rooms in a sauna or steam bath. It assumes the presence of such classic elements as columns that serve as a space divider and decoration of walls, as well as arches, stucco moldings and multi-level ceilings.

The classics are easily applicable in the interior of a bathhouse built of brick or cinder block, however, in some cases, elements of this timeless style can also be used in rest rooms with walls made of timber.

At the same time, it is not at all necessary to turn a small dressing room into an analogue of an antique hall. Sometimes it is enough to equip the doorways in the form of an arch, decorate the ceiling cornices with stucco elements made of polyurethane, lay out the floor with matte tiles and purchase furniture with straight, laconic forms.

A good example of a sauna interior with classic design elements. Arched vaults, tiered ceilings, pastel-colored walls and simple tiles on the floor make the dressing room a very inviting and welcoming space. At the same time, simple wooden benches, appropriate, rather, in the country style, harmoniously fit into a fairly strict interior

If finances allow, then an ordinary relaxation room in a bath can be turned into a hall with all the attributes of the classic style.

Even if your bathhouse is a wooden structure and you do not plan to decorate the walls with plaster, you can create a classic interior using strict furniture of straight shapes, paintings in simple frames, lamps traditional for this style and light curtains with numerous folds

7. Sauna in modern style

We must warn you right away that Art Nouveau is not used very often in the interior of the bath. If we compare it with the previous versions, then it is the complete opposite of the "rustic" country and the Russian style adhering to folk traditions.

And this is not surprising, because Art Nouveau presupposes the arrangement of a modern interior, the rejection of straight lines and strict forms in favor of abstract, bright colors, bizarrely curved lines of decor, large images of flowers and floral ornament - all this does not at all evoke associations with a traditional bath.

However, if you are ready to experiment and are not limited in finances, Art Nouveau can be used as the main style of the bath interior. Such an extraordinary approach will ultimately allow you to get an unusual and bright room, an amazingly beautiful lounge and really "come off" experimenting with colors and shapes.

Conveniently, Art Nouveau practically does not place restrictions on the choice of colors or finishing materials. This feature allows not to restrict the design impulses of the sauna owners and to make full use of modern technologies and the latest trends.

Bright mosaics are a must-have for a modern washroom. Try to avoid strict straight lines, be sure to use bright lighting and at least a slight hint of floral patterns - only in this case, the style of your sauna will be easily recognizable.

Glass, leather, shiny chrome are quite appropriate in an Art Nouveau lounge. But the log walls, traditional for a bath, will spoil the overall impression of the modern and original design.

Too bright? Well, the walls could be painted in a less saturated color and do without large images. But the round sofa with bright pillows in the sauna relaxation room will immediately tell your guests that it was the modern style that inspired you to create such an unusual interior.

And finally, a few tips:

1. You should not mix several styles when decorating such a small room as a dressing room or steam room. It is better to adhere to a pre-selected direction and not turn the interior of the bath into a chaotic collection of the elements you like.
2. The steam room is a modest room that performs a utilitarian function, so you should not overload it with decor. But the use of several types of wood of different shades or a mosaic of two or three colors is quite appropriate.
3. The style of the interior should be chosen based on the construction material of the bath - timber, log, brick - each has its own optimal decor option.

Even the most modest bathhouse, built according to the principle “from what was” at the summer cottage, can be arranged in such a way as to spend time here not only with benefit, but also with great pleasure.

Russian people know a lot about the bath. Often she stands on a site when the place for a residential building is still only marked with pegs. The architects of our company are developing interesting projects of different types of baths - it can be an independent structure, an extension to the summer kitchen or a special room in the basement.

Projects of modern Russian baths

The basic principles of building a bath have been preserved since time immemorial. Especially when wood is used for construction. New technologies appear, and in the catalog you can find stylish projects of baths made of concrete, brick, as well as combined ones.

Our offers can be divided into three groups:

• Traditional log or cobblestone building. The most widespread and favorite "toy" for adults. As a rule, a log house is assembled in another place, brought disassembled, and installed already on the site. It is customary to design such a bathhouse as "teremok" (No. 10-60).
• Comfortable sauna with a toilet and a stone shower. Suitable when it is planned to combine with a guest house, or the owners want to preserve the style unity of architecture on the estate. An example of a project is a 2-storey bathhouse with a recreation room and a billiard room (No. 90-59L).
• Frame type baths are an economical option. The building is being erected in a matter of days. The installation of a capital foundation is not required due to the low weight of the structure. The frame bath project provides for a separate steam room and terrace.

The design design is determined both by the wishes of the future owner and by the chosen building material. For the construction of a bath, a classic, European, Scandinavian style, and even high-tech is offered.

Finished bath projects with drawings, dimensions and calculations

I would like the bathhouse to be beautiful, but more importantly, how long it will last. Our projects are developed taking into account technological requirements. This means that fire safety measures are observed in them, and the building will be reliably protected from the influence of external factors.

What should be a good Russian bath? A lover of hot steam will immediately say - wooden! Only a log house made of wood is able to warm up very quickly, keep warm for a long time and cool slowly. It is easy to breathe in such a bath, even in a hotly heated one, since wood has a unique ability to regulate the level of humidity in the room. Simply put, it "knows how" to ventilate it until the maximum comfortable level is reached.
In addition, the tree, contrary to some opinions, is quite resistant to decay, external atmospheric influences, and fungal diseases. If wood is treated with special protective equipment that is safe for human health, its resistance increases significantly.
A good bath is healing! Phytoncides contained in coniferous wood, when taking bath procedures, are released into the air in large quantities. The body heals, immunity increases.

The best bath project: what is it like?

There is no general recipe, because each developer has its own goal: someone is satisfied with the construction of a small building with a minimum number of rooms, but for someone a bathhouse without a large terrace and pool is a bad option. But some unifying features can be noted.

• Convenient layout that takes into account the interests of each family member. It may be difficult for an elderly person to climb the stairs to the second floor, but the presence of a spacious terrace, where you can drink tea in the evening, will please. And if the family has small children, it is worth equipping a pool, even the smallest one.
• Multifunctionality. Today, the owners of even the smallest baths seek to expand their usable area by adding terraces or attic floors. A two-storey residential building with the functionality of a bath is not uncommon in summer cottages. The best design of a modern bath is ergonomic. For example, with an attic, which allows you to master the "upper" space.
• High quality building material. You cannot build a good structure out of a bad forest. Be meticulous about the material that construction companies offer you and remember that you should only trust someone who has already justified this trust and has been working in the construction services market for more than a year.
• The aesthetic appeal of the building. A good project will definitely provide for this component, and the bath will perfectly fit into the landscape of your site.

Which bath is better to build?

The best baths are built exclusively from wood. In choosing a building material, the developer can be guided by both personal aesthetic preferences and the financial component. So, to implement a project from a log will cost more than from a bar.
A simple rule: the more complex the industrial pre-processing of a log, the more expensive the cost of the blanks and ultimately the log house. However, it makes sense to pay a certain price: the same profiled timber with the “thorn-groove” system, completely ready for assembly, has excellent performance characteristics. The new sauna will be warm and durable, since cracks and gaps, as well as damage to the wood, are excluded. The team will complete the installation of the log house as soon as possible, without experiencing any particular difficulties.
Choosing the best log house, developers often experience difficulties. Log baths attract not only with their brutal appearance, but also with the integrity of the log, its structure, as a result - the maximum preservation of the unique qualities of wood. On the other hand, a log house from a bar is assembled faster and easier, however, a bar stock during processing "loses" a significant part of its upper layer and, in the opinion of some, becomes less protected. In any case, it's up to you to decide!

The bathhouse is the main constituent element of Russian culture. Bath procedures served hygienic purposes. Various diseases were treated in the steam room. To this day, hot steam helps to cope with various ailments, balances the nervous system, and restores strength. Long frosty winters taught our ancestors to keep warm indoors: high thresholds, small windows, low doors.

Bathhouses were built outside the yard, better on the shore of a reservoir, so that a steamed person could plunge into the water, because there was no running water in those days. We washed on certain days, sometimes the whole street used one bath. Today, knowing the benefits of this procedure, many people build personal baths on their personal plot or equip a sauna in a city apartment. A private bathhouse has become a symbol of a healthy lifestyle; this type of construction has become almost mandatory on the site.

Peculiarities

The traditional country sauna consists of three rooms:

• dressing room;
• washing room;
• steam room.

They are usually arranged in the same order. First, the visitor enters the dressing room - a dry warm room for changing clothes and relaxing between bath procedures. Then it enters the washing department, from where, after rinsing and getting used to the elevated temperature, it goes into the steam room.

The steam room is the main branch of the bath, for the sake of which it is being built. The temperature here reaches 60-70 degrees, with high humidity up to 90 percent, this heat penetrates into the deep layers of the muscles, relaxes and warms up all organs. The use of a birch, oak, juniper broom acts as a massage. After the steam room, you need a rinsing or dousing with cold water, then rest. The design features of the bath provide for the comfortable carrying out of all the listed procedures.

Modern baths do not go beyond the boundaries of a private plot; small comfortable log cabins or two-story brick structures are being erected in the courtyard for frequent and convenient use. The set of premises includes an open terrace or balcony on the second floor. Here you can lie down in the fresh air or have a cup of tea after a steam room. The washroom is equipped with a regular shower or a massage shower. For those who like to lie down in the bathroom, the necessary equipment is installed.

The dressing room receives additional space, furnished with a sofa, armchairs, a table with a samovar. This room is often used for temporary accommodation of guests, therefore, great importance is attached to the design of the recreation room: it is equipped with devices for a comfortable pastime - a TV, a refrigerator. The owners create many decor and household items for their own bath with their own hands. Inside or outside, walls are lovingly adorned with hunting trophies or carvings.

In addition to the traditional Russian steam room with wet steam, a sauna with dry hot air is popular among many northern peoples. Manufacturers produce a whole line of equipment for country or apartment saunas. Saunas can be large, or they can fit in the size of a shower stall. Heating units of various modifications effectively create the required temperature and humidity in rooms of any area.

The bath complex can be arranged in the attic. To do this, take measures to insulate the roof, mount a comfortable staircase with a handrail. This detail is necessary, since the effect of hot temperatures on a person causes a loss of attention and concentration, the steps should be as comfortable and non-slip as possible. If the bath has bevels of the ceiling, then in the lower parts shelves are installed for storing bath accessories and woodpiles so that unused dead zones do not form in the lower parts of the room. To avoid bruises, the active area for vaping and washing is located at the highest part, its height should not be less than 2.3 meters.

Sauna stoves are used in various modifications. Solid fuel units have proven themselves well: firewood, pellets, coal. The latest ergonomic long-burning models with a water circuit allow you to heat adjacent rooms and another floor. The temperature regime is maintained throughout the entire heating period. If the bathhouse is connected to the main gas pipeline, cheap gas is used to operate the stove. Electric counterparts are less convenient due to the high cost of electricity. When choosing the volume of the firebox, you need to calculate the volume of the steam room and adjacent rooms and select the stove of the required power.

Compliance with fire safety rules is essential. Continuous use of the furnace for many hours can cause ignition of the surrounding structures. All heated parts of the stove and chimney must be reliably insulated from wooden parts. The chimney at the junction with the ceiling and the roof is made of "sandwich" pipes and is additionally protected with a layer of expanded clay. The height of the chimney, according to the requirements of safe operation, is taken at least 50 centimeters above the level of the roof ridge.

The walls around the stove are finished with plasterboard, porcelain stoneware tiles, minerite, stainless steel with a layer of mineral wool or brick and natural stone. Superizol can withstand heating up to 1000 degrees, lightweight and non-combustible - a new insulating material for high-temperature furnace units. The height of the insulating layer should be 15-20 centimeters higher than the stove level and by the same amount wider. When decorating the interior walls and structures of the steam room, non-combustible and environmentally friendly materials are used that do not emit harmful substances when heated. They try to keep the design in the same style.

Finishing materials

The microclimate with high temperature and high humidity dictates the use of natural materials. The bathhouse, built from solid linden, aspen, cedar logs, does not require additional wall cladding. These materials, when heated, lighten the air to release healing oils. This material is flexible when temperature and humidity conditions change, and is durable. The beautiful interweaving of wood grain creates a pleasing visual experience.

A steam room, lined with bricks or blocks of artificial stone, is sheathed from the inside with clapboard from the same wood species. It is undesirable to use pine, because of the high temperature in the room, it can release resin, which creates unaesthetic streaks on the surface. Pine is not resistant to moisture and deforms strongly from moisture. Although it is an affordable and inexpensive material with good decorative qualities, it can be used to decorate a rest room and an entrance area.

The lining has various trim profiles, rectangular or cylindrical, which imitates a log frame. For cladding, you can use a sanded edged board. It is better to take the thickness of 2-4 centimeters. This will allow the wood to resist deformation longer and retain heat well. Sheathing from unedged boards looks original. This gives a rustic touch to the interior.

The interior looks beautiful, completely decorated both on the walls and on the ceiling with the same material of the same type of wood. It is better to choose light colors of wood. A small steam room will look more spacious. Treat wood paneling with oil or wax in natural tones. Do not use varnish or paint in the steam room.

In a brick or block building, the wall is sheathed with a rail and insulated with a vapor barrier material. Then another rack frame is made, on which the front finish is recruited. The ceiling of the slab is finished in the same way. The floor in the steam room is also sewn up with a wooden edged board. A layer of waterproofing is laid between the cement screed and the finished floor.

For the body of the stove, the best choice would be a refractory brick, it gives a beautiful slender pattern, has good performance. Gives the interior warmth and coziness. The heated brick retains heat for a long time and contributes to the long-term maintenance of the optimal temperature in the room. Cast iron or steel models are convenient to use and easy to install. Boxes for natural stone are specially provided: basalt, jadeite, quartzite. These stones heat up quickly, do not crack from high temperatures, and do not contain harmful secretions.

The washing department is traditionally tiled. For the floor, use porcelain stoneware or tongue-and-groove boards. The main requirement is a non-slip surface. The ceiling is sewn up with the same clapboard as in the steam room. In some cases, plastic ceiling panels are mounted to match the color of tiles or lining.

The doors in the bath rooms are made capital, with good thermal insulation qualities. Natural wood possesses such qualities. The door leaf is decorated with carved panels or glass inserts to visually expand the space. Modern door designs can be made entirely of special glass. These models are equipped with insulating pads.

Decoration inside

A huge selection of finishing materials and modern equipment for a bath allows you to create stylish modern interiors. A sauna in an apartment in a multi-storey building is becoming a valuable component of comfort. Manufacturers offer a complete turnkey set of different sizes and modifications of the steam room. Outwardly, these steam rooms look like an ordinary room, but the interior decoration with a block house or clapboard immerses you in the atmosphere of a real steam room.

Home saunas range from traditional to miniature sizes, the size of a shower stall. But all the details of the traditional steam room are executed at a high level. The shelves are of standard size, conveniently configured to accommodate two or more people. The shelf of the upper tier is made wider and installed at a height of no higher than 1.5 meters from the ceiling. The door design assumes a glass component. Glass does not enclose a small space, but serves as a unifying element of loft-style interiors.

The sauna is installed in the bathroom, or a special room is allocated for it. In studio apartments, saunas have become fashionable, included in the interior of the room. All-glass partitions create the illusion of a single space. Colored LED lighting creates a sense of serenity and relaxation. A functional shower room completes the full cycle of the bath procedure. Smooth surfaces, lack of details, monochrome composition of minimalism makes it possible to relax in the fast pace of modern life.

Older generations remember the times when baths were built on the shore of a reservoir. Today it is not always appropriate to dive into a pond after a steam room, or not everyone is lucky enough to have one on their site. Owners of their own saunas can equip them with swimming pools. The pool can be located in the open air next to the entrance to the bathhouse. Another option is to build a pool in the washroom.

The pool occupies the center of the shower room. Beautifully designed bumpers and flooring around the pool add an extra decorative effect. An unusual shape will also become a design element. It is better to lay out the bottom and walls with blue or colored tiles so that the color of the water has a pleasant color. For aesthetic purposes, a small steam room is separated by a glass partition.

The interior of a bathhouse with a swimming pool on the street can be decorated in a fashionable single space. The pool is a way of dividing into a steam room and a relaxation area, at the same time separating the closed steam room and the open-air gazebo. Combined terrace designs create a barrier from prying eyes. The original glazing of the roof will allow you to admire the starry sky during the bath procedures.

The two-story bath expands the possibilities for arranging additional premises. Such a structure can combine both the functions of a bath and the functions of a dwelling. The first floor is reserved for a steam room, a washroom, a dressing room and a kitchen. The second is given for rest rooms, a living room or bedroom, rooms for massage or a gym.

An exquisite interior solution can be the design of a steam room in the Turkish style. The traditional oriental bath - hamam is heated by a stone bed located in the center of the room. The hammam is often complemented by a stylized waterfall on one of the walls, where you can rinse after hot treatments. The air in the Turkish bath is not scalding, but has a comfortable temperature. Such a constructive heating device is perfect for spa treatments and massage. The room is finished with mosaics or tiles with oriental patterns. Neon lights and hamam benches bring Eastern and European cultures together.

Adherents of Japanese philosophy will surely like to decorate the bathhouse in the Japanese style. To do this, it is enough to equip the washing compartment with a round wooden font. This furaco font is divided into two parts: in one there is a bench for sitting, in the other - a heating element. An excellent relaxation procedure takes place in the open air. Another option is ofuro - rectangular containers of human height with heated cedar or lime sawdust. Immersion in them for 20-30 minutes cleanses the body of toxins. This beautiful piece of equipment can be placed in a city apartment.

The traditional dressing room has evolved from an ordinary dressing room into a full-fledged living room or relaxation room. This room is finished in the appropriate style, furnished with sets of wood furniture that match the style of the entire complex. The firebox of the fireplace stove is often taken out into this front room, here they communicate with friends or family members gather for tea on the veranda. Unexpected guests can spend the night in the recreation room, for this one or two sleeping places are provided there. It is better to choose furniture stylized for the Russian style.

Russian bath interior

The classic Russian bath is an unsurpassed and favorite option for decorating a bathhouse in a village. Live fire, crackling of burning logs, heat and humid steam are the best cleansing procedure for residents of the cold regions of our country. The steam room is often combined with the washroom into one room. In summer, swimming in an ice hole replaces a wooden bucket of cold water that is hung from the ceiling. The interior is decorated with fairy-tale characters from Russian epics.

An unedged board finish is the best choice for such a bath. Comic statements on the topic of bath procedures are carved into the panels that decorate the walls. Carved wooden furniture, small windows with platbands in the log house are decorated with flowered curtains. Rural charm does not interfere with equipping such a bathhouse with modern stove equipment.

A stone stove is an indispensable attribute of a Russian bath. It can be faced with tiled tiles, which will add noble antiquity. You can make such a bath with your own hands. Main condition: good insulation to keep warm. The height of the room is visually reduced by lowering the window openings. Logs and decoration are made deliberately rude to preserve the Russian style.
