The rest room can be organized on the basis of the dressing room. This is a multifunctional room that also serves as a locker room. You can fantasize about the design of the dressing room and play with styles as you please. Unlike the steam room and shower room, the finishing of which requires special requirements, a relaxation room can become the most daring embodiment of your ideas. Comfortable furnishings and extraordinary design will delight your family and friends.

As a beautiful and functional finish inside the bathhouse, the photos demonstrate that it is better to use coniferous wood (for example, Scandinavian spruce), natural or artificial stone, brick or more budget clinker and plastic panels.

Designers offer the following current trends:

– oriental style;

– European classics;

– rustic style;

– modern eco-style.

Decorating the inside of the bath with photos, paintings written in a certain style, fabrics, furniture, mirror installations and numerous accessories will help bring these ideas to life.

If the dressing room will serve as a guest room, it is necessary to equip the room, for example, with a soft pull-out leather sofa. It will make the room stylish and at the same time preserve free space. It is worth taking care of an ergonomic storage system - you can put bathrobes, towels, flip flops, hats and sleeping accessories in it.

The interior design of the steam room must be developed taking into account high humidity and the temperature in this room. Safety measures dictate the choice of wood species such as aspen, larch, linden and other hardwoods. Connoisseurs of individuality and exoticism can choose African Abashi wood to decorate the walls of the steam room. It looks representative and stylish.

Designers propose finishing the interior of the photo bath in a minimalist style. This room does not need rich decoration at all. The wood used on all the walls is itself a bright and textured accent. Therefore, it is better to limit yourself to a traditional set of things: sun loungers, shelves, water barrels, ladles and, of course, brooms. When building a log house, you can provide a small window in the steam room in advance. It will be both an active decorative element and, of course, functional - the steam room can be ventilated if necessary.

Whatever interior style you choose for the interior decoration of the bathhouse, the main thing is to enjoy your vacation!

During the construction and internal arrangement of a bathhouse, the customer most often pays more attention equipment capacity and room layout. But as practice shows, finishing a bathhouse requires detailed design, the correct selection of finishing materials and, as a rule, is much more complex than more fundamental aspects. To make the waiting room, steam room, and washing room as comfortable and cozy as possible, you should make the right choice from a wide variety of finishing materials and design options. The choice of facing stone, tile or wood for decorating a bathhouse is dictated not only by the aesthetic tastes of the customer, but also by the basic requirements of efficiency and practicality.

The most popular option for finishing a bathhouse is, of course, lining made of various breeds wood

But you should not give this material the entire internal area of the bathhouse. By combining different types of cladding, you can profitably transform the interior, make it interesting and quite practical. In addition, each room can be decorated in its own style, thus diversifying the overall picture.
The dressing room gives the greatest freedom for the flight of design ideas. This room can be decorated with both decorative stone and wood with equal relevance. One has only to take into account the fact that limited spaces can be visually expanded through the use of tiles or finishing stones in light colors. Ceramics make it possible to give the dressing room a feeling of spaciousness and even with sufficient large quantities items such as tables and chairs will make the room feel cozy and free. And thematic decorative elements will create a special mood.

A steam room, on the contrary, requires compliance with a number of mandatory rules when creating a high-quality interior. The classic decoration inside the bathhouse, photos of which can be seen most often, is a room decorated with wood facing materials. Preference is given to wood, first of all, for its natural ability to regulate humidity inside the steam room. Easily absorbing and releasing moisture, wood of all species without exception is ideal for conditions of constant changes in humidity and temperature. And of course, big advantage is ecological cleanliness this material.

The washing room, unlike the dressing room and steam room, has a slightly more practical purpose, so its interior should be designed taking this feature into account. Most the best option For this room there will be a combination of several finishing materials. If the walls of the washing room can be lined with a combination of wood and decorative stone, then for the floor, taking into account effective waterproofing, it is worth using tiles. However, there is also some freedom of choice here. If the room area is large enough, the floor design can be made with a combination of natural notes of wood, and in those places where it is really necessary, use tiles.

Original decoration inside the bathhouse - photo.

To create for real original design baths, it is necessary to use a variety of finishing options. You can combine several types of wood, as well as several options for the texture of decorative stone. The interiors of bathhouses, decorated using lining that imitates logs, look quite interesting. Such material naturally gives a characteristic Russian flavor to the atmosphere, and in addition to more modern facing elements, such as stone and tiles, look truly stylish and intriguing. Original finish inside the bathhouse, the photo of which is presented in this article, will help you do own interior really interesting.

To complete the interior decoration of a bathhouse, you need knowledge of the properties of wood and stone, safety requirements and minimal skills in working with wood. We will talk about the materials and types of finishes recommended for use in the bathhouse, and you will have to acquire the skills of a joiner and carpenter along the way.

Does the bathhouse need finishing?

Regardless of what kind of bath you have - Russian, Finnish sauna or Turkish hammam, a bath means high temperature and high humidity. Without completing the finishing, without insulating the walls, floor and roof, you will be forced to heat the steam room for hours, and with it the surrounding air, literally throwing money away.

Due to the difference in external and internal temperatures, moisture will settle on the walls as condensation, which over time will lead to the formation of fungus, mold and rot. wooden structures. If the building is made of masonry material (brick or blocks), a steam room without finishing can cause burns if it comes into contact with a hot wall. Only in the case when the bathhouse is cut down from logs or built from timber, can it be left without additional finishing, if the wall thickness provides standard resistance to heat transfer. If this is not the case, go back to reading the first sentence of the paragraph.

If the bathhouse is made of logs, complete interior finishing may not be carried out

There are many safety requirements for finishing a bath:

The walls and floor of a bathhouse are most often insulated with stone or basalt wool, but this is not the best option: mats and slabs of mineral insulation contain a small amount of bitumen binder, which evaporates under the influence of high temperature, as well as tiny particles of fibers that cause irritation when deposited on the skin.

A safer and more economical option - foam glass insulation - avoids these disadvantages. Vapor barrier is performed with aluminum foil or foil-coated polyurethane foam, which belongs to the group of non-combustible materials and will serve as an additional heat insulator.

Finishing materials for a bath - how not to make a mistake

Interior decoration different rooms performs different tasks in the bathhouse, and in accordance with them the type of finishing is chosen.

Table: requirements for finishing a bath

Room	Peculiarities	Type of finish
Room	Peculiarities	Floor	Walls	Ceiling
Steam room	High temperature - fire protection of wood is required. Humidity - impregnation with antiseptic and fungicide is required	Ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles with waterproofing, hardwood flooring, drainage	Hardwood cladding, stone or brick cladding at the heater	False ceiling made of hardwood
Washing	Humidity - materials are needed that allow surfaces to be washed periodically	Ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles with non-slip surface, drainage	Tiling or finishing with materials that allow wet cleaning	moisture-resistant painting or suspended ceiling
Rest room	No requirements	Wood or heated floors with tiles	No requirements	No requirements

Steam room finishing

To cover the steam room, it is better to use hardwood, which does not release resin when heated. When choosing a material for wall cladding, you must remember that a bathhouse is not only pleasant, but also useful. By inhaling the phytoncides released by heated wood in the steam room, we increase the body’s resistance to colds and heal the respiratory tract.

Type of wood	Advantages	Flaws
Oak	Strong wood, durable, excellent appearance	Slips when wet, high price
Ash	Durable wood with beautiful design, rot-resistant	High price
Birch	Light pleasant aroma	Prone to rotting, does not hold its shape well at high temperatures
Linden	Has nice color, heating up, exudes delicate aroma, resistant to rot and high temperatures, affordable	No
Aspen	Low price, light pleasant aroma	Subject to rotting, over time changes color to dirty gray
Alder	Beautiful appearance, affordable price, odorless, does not absorb odors, durable	No

If you are interested budget option finishing - choose alder, if there are no cost restrictions, then the best option is ash.

A bathhouse trimmed with ash clapboard will look prestigious and expensive

For lovers of coniferous scents, a combined finishing option may be offered: where contact with the skin is possible, we make the finishing from deciduous wood, and, for example, we line the space under the shelves with cedar, larch or pine.

To cover a section of the wall near the heater, you must choose a material with high heat capacity and thermal conductivity, ensuring maximum accumulation and uniform heat transfer. The structure of the stone must be uniform so that it does not explode when water gets in. Stones are selected round or oval in shape with smooth surface for free air circulation, the optimal size is from 5 to 21 cm. Another requirement is environmental safety: when heated, they should not emit harmful substances.

Table: properties of bath stones

Mineral	Properties
Gabbro - diabase	Gabbro - diabase is the most affordable and popular option. The stone is dark gray, almost black, with low water absorption, excellent heat capacity and very durable. Unfortunately, when heated strongly, it emits an unpleasant odor, and upon contact essential oil forms carbon deposits on the surface.
Soapstone chlorite	Soapstone is durable, strong, has excellent heat capacity, and comes in colors from light gray to cherry. In order to prevent dusting, the stones are washed and calcined before the first use. It features a pleasant, light steam with a healing effect: reduces blood pressure, improves health respiratory system and skin. Negative characteristic - high price.
Basalt	Basalt is the strongest stone of all volcanic rocks. It has only positive characteristics - it is strong, durable, has a high heat capacity, tolerates temperature changes well, and does not emit harmful substances. Even the price is pleasing with its availability.
Jade	Jadeite belongs to semiprecious stones, so you shouldn’t be surprised at the high price of this mineral. The color from white through emerald green to black makes it attractive in appearance, and its medicinal properties were appreciated in ancient China. An excellent choice for people who care about their health.
Raspberry quartzite	Crimson quartzite, like jadeite, is attractive in appearance with its bright color and has excellent performance- hardness, durability, heat resistance, low water absorption and environmental safety. It tolerates high temperatures well, you can pour water on it without fear of “explosion”. When purchasing, you should avoid split stones, as they will continue to crumble in the future.
White quartz	White quartz is not very durable and does not tolerate high temperatures well, but due to its spectacular appearance it is one of the most expensive stones: this translucent mineral consists of silicon and oxygen molecules, and when heated, it releases ozone, which makes a steam bath with it especially useful.

The ceiling in the steam room above the heater, just like the wall behind it and the floor around it, requires protection with fireproof material. Above the heater you can make a section of suspended ceiling from a soapstone slab. Soapstone - universal material for heater stones, floor and ceiling wall cladding. A more budget-friendly option is a metal sheet over the stove, a foundation and wall cladding made of solid, well-fired brick.

Soapstone can be used not only as a material for stones, but also as a decoration for walls and ceilings behind the heater

The floor in the steam room is made of concrete or ceramic tiles, with waterproofing and a drain for draining water. Walking flooring made of hardwood is laid on top.

Finishing materials for washing

A washing room with open shower screens requires the installation of channels, drains and moisture resistant finish: facing with ceramic tiles or other durable and moisture-resistant material that can withstand elevated temperatures.

If you plan to install individual shower cabins, such finishing is not required; you can line the walls with clapboard, paint them or plaster them with moisture-resistant decorative plaster.

To prevent water from affecting the sink frame, it is finished with tiles.

It is advisable to have heated floors. The tile must have a rough surface that prevents slipping. It is undesirable to make oak flooring in wet rooms, as it is very slippery when wet. A coating made of coniferous wood, especially larch, is welcome, as it is the most resistant to rotting.

The area of the floor near the font, where significant spills of water are possible, is best made of ceramic tiles with a drain.

The ceiling of the washing room will have to be washed periodically; accordingly, the material must withstand treatment with detergents: larch lining, metal slatted or cassette suspended ceilings.

Rest room

The rest room has no restrictions on decoration, with the exception of warm flooring - it is always pleasant to walk on warm wood with bare feet. The rest of the interior design depends on the taste and requirements of the bathhouse owner.

Do-it-yourself bathhouse decoration

In order to make the bathhouse beautiful, you need to choose reliable and high-quality finishing materials and install them in accordance with the specifics of the premises described in the previous sections.

Selection of finishing materials

The optimal choice for each bathhouse owner will be one that takes into account the size of the building, personal taste and financial component. In order not to make a mistake when purchasing material, you must first:

Calculation of premises area

To determine the need for materials, it is necessary to know the area of the surface to be finished. All calculations are done in meters.

For the floor and ceiling, multiply the length of the room by its width. To get the area of the walls, calculate the perimeter of the room: add the length and width and multiply by two. We multiply the product by the height of the ceilings. From the result obtained, subtract the area of doors and windows, if any.

In rooms with difficult combined finishing The area of each plot is calculated separately.

How to buy quality materials and prepare them for installation

When choosing a material, you need to pay attention first of all to the quality of the product.

Calculation of material requirements

Find the area of one board. So, with a standard length of 6 m and a thickness of 90 mm, the area of the board will be equal to 6∙0.09=0.54 m2.
Calculate the surface area to be finished. Let's assume that it is necessary to upholster the walls of a room measuring 3 x 6 m with a ceiling height of 2.5 m. The surface area is equal to: (3+6)∙2∙2.5=45 m2.
Calculate the number of boards. To do this, divide the surface area by the area of one board: 45/0.54 = 83.3 boards.

As an example, here is a specification of material for finishing a steam room:

In the same way, the wood requirements for the remaining rooms are calculated.

For calculation paint and varnish materials the surface area should be multiplied by the paint consumption, which is usually given on the packaging in liters per square meter. The product will show how many liters of paint you need to buy.

All goods must be purchased with a margin of 10%, taking into account the allowance for waste and defects in work.

Required Tools

To finish a bathhouse with your own hands you will need:

Hammer.
Screwdriver.
Construction level.
Hammer.
Furniture stapler.
Plane.
Hacksaw or jigsaw.
Self-tapping screws, nails or clamps.

Step-by-step instructions for finishing a bath

The work is carried out after laying the electrical wiring and ventilation ducts, starting from the floor. The floor of the steam room is raised 10–15 cm above the level of adjacent rooms. After the clean floor has been laid, they begin finishing the walls. The last thing to do is the ceiling.

Making a frame for insulation. The frame is assembled from 100x40 mm timber, impregnated with fire retardant and fungicide. The beam is attached with self-tapping screws or dowels to the wall at intervals equal to the width of the insulation board minus 5 mm.
A frame made of wooden beams is mounted on the walls and ceiling
Installation of insulation. Between the frame beams, insulation slabs or mats are placed on heat-resistant glue with additional fastening with 5-6 dowels. per 1 m 2.
Installation of heat-reflecting material. Aluminum foil or foil fire-resistant film, for example, foil penofol, is secured with staples using a construction stapler to the thermal insulation layer.
A counter-lattice is installed over the heat-reflecting layer under the finishing coating.

Wall cladding. The lining is attached to the frame in accordance with the selected layout. The nails are driven into the grooves so that they are not visible on the finish. They nail the baseboard.

To decorate the premises in the bathhouse, you can choose different varieties wood with different shades colors

Frame installation false ceiling. The frame of the false ceiling is attached to the floor joists or to the walls made of 100x50 timber with a vertical orientation. The distance between the beams should correspond to the width of the insulation slab minus 5 mm for the expansion.

Construction of the ceiling begins after covering the walls.

Installation of heat-reflecting material. Foil or foil material is attached in the same way as on the walls.

Ceiling lining with clapboard. It is carried out similarly to wall upholstery. The section of the ceiling above the stove-heater is protected non-flammable material: leaf stainless steel or slab material. The ceiling plinth is attached.

A foil vapor barrier is attached to the insulation, and then the clapboard is nailed onto the finished sheathing

What materials are used to design a bath room?

After the construction and insulation of the bathhouse complex, it’s time for interior finishing activities. There are certain rules in this regard that differ significantly from work in other buildings.

Impeccability interior design The bathhouse is not only about its comfortable appearance, but also about caring for the health of its visitors. The level of stylization and practicality must complement each other, and this largely depends on the choice of materials for finishing inside the bathhouse, which must have the following properties:

durability;
strength;
environmental cleanliness;
ability to retain heat;
low thermal conductivity, which prevents burns;
resistance to temperature changes;
resistance to high humidity.

A traditional material that fully meets all the requirements for working inside a bath space is wood. In addition, wood looks aesthetically pleasing, feels pleasant to the touch and gives off a delicate and healthy aroma, which is used as aromatherapy and has a beneficial effect on the entire body.

The interior, where such natural material as wood reigns, is beautiful in itself. It exudes pleasant warmth and tranquility, which creates a peaceful atmosphere. Bathroom cladding can be done using one or more types of wood, depending on the purpose of the rooms.

Of course, the interior of a modern bathhouse is equipped with the help of other materials. A rounded log or block house goes well with stone, brick or tile masonry. The combination of different textures will highlight each of the rooms of the bath space in a special way.

You should know that paints and varnishes are not applied to the materials for the interior decoration of the bathhouse. When heated, coatings of this kind emit harmful substances and are not able to withstand temperature changes.

Decoration of the interior rooms of the bath

A modern bathhouse is a multifunctional enterprise intended not only for bath procedures, but also for relaxation. Standard premises Baths are a waiting room, a steam room and a shower, requiring individual landscaping. Bathhouses of our time can also have an entrance vestibule, a kitchenette, a swimming pool, a toilet and playrooms.

Waiting room

The dressing room serves as a locker room and rest room. This room, which protects the entrance to the steam room from the penetration of dirt and cold, sets you in a calm mood and serves for relaxation after significant stress on the body.

Nowadays, a bathhouse without a room for gatherings is almost never found. No one will refuse to relax after the steam room and have a wonderful time with family or friends.

Unlike the steam room and shower, when creating the design of a relaxation room, your imagination can be expanded by delighting guests with an extraordinary approach.

Coniferous wood such as pine and Scandinavian spruce is suitable for finishing the dressing room. In addition to wood, you can transform the interior with stone, brick, tile or plastic. Furniture, paintings, mirrors, chandeliers, fabrics and various accessories will help add fashionable notes to stylistic trends such as English.

Steam room

High temperatures and humidity of the room for basic procedures dictate special rules when choosing a material for its finishing.

Only hardwoods that do not lose their qualities over the years, such as linden, alder, aspen, larch and African abashi wood, are suitable for lining the steam room. The floors of the room are made using both boards and tiles with a non-slip surface. It is advisable to give preference to tiles, since a wooden floor will deteriorate over time.

We recommend designing the steam room in a tone, because the texture of the wood itself serves as a wonderful decoration. Therefore, it will be enough to limit ourselves to such basic attributes as benches, multi-level sun loungers, dousing tubs, ladles, etc. An excellent option for placing sun loungers is a corner space, which will brighten up the room and save space. Inside the steam room you can use a window, which will perfectly dilute the interior and be useful for ventilation.

The interior design of the bathhouse is an important point for a favorable atmosphere

It is believed that for true steamers, a bathhouse, first of all, is just a process, and what surrounds you during blissful moments is a secondary matter. But this is not true at all. A modern bathhouse is a place for a pleasant pastime, enjoying relaxation and the beauty of the interior. Its internal arrangement should be conducive to relaxation, calm and good mood.

No matter how you decorate the interior of the bathhouse, the main task is to achieve full pleasure from being in its “embraces”.

A beautifully decorated relaxation room is an important component of a comfortable bathhouse. In this room you can fully relax and escape from everyday worries.

Peculiarities

Many people believe that the main room in a bathhouse is the steam room. In fact, this is not the only area that plays an important role in such a construction. The baths have very hospitable rest rooms, where you can feel comfortable and cozy.

In the relaxation room located in the bathhouse, you can place various interior items. In such conditions, ensembles made in different styles. Decorative items and correctly selected lighting fixtures, as in ordinary living rooms.

For such areas, you can choose different finishing materials. For example, it could be wood tiles, reliable wallpaper or even paint and varnish compositions. The main thing is to purchase high-quality products that will last as long as possible in a bathhouse.

A special feature of the design of a cozy corner for relaxation is that all the parts and finishes in it must be moisture resistant.

The sauna relaxation area can contain not only soft sofa with fireplace. This could be a luxurious billiard table, carved wooden benches, cozy armchairs with a coffee table and many other pieces of furniture - it all depends on the size of the room and its layout.

In the design of a leisure room experts recommend using lamps with warmer light, since such a room should be calm and comfortable. It is permissible to use a small number of economical LED light bulbs, which create soft and uniform light in the space.

A tasteful rest room has some advantages:

You can fully relax in it immediately after spending time in the steam room.
Here you can place not only a sofa, but also many other items (for example, a large wooden table with chairs or bench).
When leaving the steam room, you won’t have to run from one building to another, since everything will be “at hand.” This is especially important when it comes to the cold season.
Since in a bathhouse, furniture and decor items made from natural and quality materials, we can safely talk about the environmental friendliness of such a recreation area.
When decorating a cozy corner, it is possible to turn to different stylistic directions. For example, it could be the style of a Russian bathhouse or a rustic country style.
In the relaxation room you can place many different things that are necessary when visiting the bathhouse. For example, some clothes, towels and other similar items.

Leisure rooms do not have any serious disadvantages, but some of their shortcomings are worth mentioning:

Projects for such premises need to be developed especially carefully and scrupulously. It is important to correctly arrange all the details so that the space is comfortable.
Always preserved in bath conditions high level humidity, which can negatively affect both the furniture and the decoration in the rest room. To avoid such a problem, you need to purchase waterproof products, which often cost more than regular ones.
To decorate these premises, it is necessary to additionally install steam, hydro and thermal insulation. This can take a lot of free time.

Species

A modern bathhouse can be one-story or two-story with a relaxation room on the second or first floor. Often, these buildings are equipped with cozy bedrooms and kitchens, if space allows. More expensive buildings have separate spaces with a swimming pool and barbecue.

A wonderful relaxation area can be created in a cozy bathhouse with an extension, terrace or veranda. Relaxing in such a building brings a lot of pleasure; bathhouses with verandas are especially relevant in the warm season.

However, recreation rooms in bath buildings differ not only in their content, but also in finishing materials and dimensions.

Material

To decorate walls, floors and ceilings in a leisure room, it is permissible to use various materials, which will be discussed below.

Lining

This material is environmentally friendly and safe - it does not affect negative influence on human health. In addition, the lining boasts good thermal insulation properties. This type of finishing is made from pine, oak, aspen, linden and other types of wood..

The material will have to be processed from time to time protective compounds– this will prevent it from deteriorating and rotting in high humidity conditions.

Wooden shields

These materials are most often used when finishing the ceiling in a leisure room. Such canvases seamlessly hide various imperfections of the ceiling bases, making them perfectly smooth and aesthetically pleasing. Wooden panels are installed on a pre-insulated surface.

Boards

Wooden boards can be used to finish the floor in a bathhouse. It is advisable to choose well-polished materials, the thickness of which is at least 3.5 cm. Do not forget about covering such floors with stain or clear varnish.

Stone

The rest rooms, decorated with stone, look rich and presentable. This material not only has an excellent appearance, but is also not afraid of humidity, high temperatures and mechanical damage. Most often, the walls in baths are decorated with granite, cobblestone, sandstone or marble..

Of course, finishing from natural stone will cost the buyer a tidy sum. In addition, the weight of such cladding is often quite significant. Before you start installing stone parts, you need to make sure that the walls in the leisure room are quite reliable and strong.

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on finishing, then you can use artificial stone instead of natural stone. For example, in such a situation Brick coverings look interesting.

Porcelain tiles

This durable and durable material You can finish the floors in the rest room. Many consumers choose porcelain stoneware because it is not afraid of mechanical damage, heavy loads and temperature changes.

Wallpaper

This finishing material is flexible. If it was decided to arrange a relaxation room for them in the bathhouse, then It’s better to choose fabrics based on non-woven fabric, gypsum or fiberglass. Regular materials made of paper will quickly become unusable if glued to them in such conditions.

Drywall sheets

When choosing plasterboard for lining the leisure area in the bathhouse, it is better to give preference exclusively to moisture-resistant fabrics. Simple gypsum plaster sheets do not tolerate high humidity, so they will not last long in a sauna building.

These materials should be installed on a frame structure made of wood or metal.

Dimensions

Modern bathhouses in the country have different dimensions. They come in both large and small. The common dimensions of these buildings are the following dimensions: 1.9x2.1 m; 2.6x2.5 m; 3x3 m; 3x4 m; 3x5 m; 3x6 m; 4x4 m; 4x5 m; 4.5x6 m; 4x6 m; 5x5 m; 5x6 m; 6x3 m; 6x6 m; 6x8 m.

Of course, in the smallest buildings it is unlikely that it will be possible to arrange a spacious recreation room with many pieces of furniture. In such conditions, only the most necessary elements should be present.

You can pamper yourself with a spacious room only in large baths or two-story buildings. To increase the area, many users turn to extensions such as terraces.

Style and design

A cozy corner for relaxing in a bathhouse can be decorated in different stylistic directions. The choice of a suitable image for such a room, first of all, depends on the taste preferences of the homeowners. Below are some of the most current styles, suitable for decorating a leisure room.

Russian

Russian style is traditional in bathhouse design. In addition, it is best suited to such buildings.

Cozy rooms for relaxation in the Russian style are usually filled with pieces of furniture made of natural wood. Of course, such products are not cheap, but they look attractive and are environmentally friendly.

If you need budget wooden furniture, then it’s worth looking suitable models from inexpensive wood, such as pine or birch.

If it was decided to decorate the recreation area in this way, then the owner should adhere to brevity and restraint.

The interior in the Russian style does not need to be filled with elaborate and bulky chandeliers, chairs and sofas. Also, you should not over-decorate the walls. However, in such an environment, wooden benches and benches will look great, and aromatic herbs, brooms and a samovar as decoration.

Country

This style is very similar to Russian, but it is characterized by different traditions. Interiors in the country direction are close to America and France.

In such interiors there is no need for unnecessary wall decoration. You can put tiles on the floor or leave it wooden. Country-style furnishings with exposed ceiling beams look harmonious.

As for furniture and textiles, it is also worth turning to natural and environmentally friendly materials, such as wood and cotton.

It is permissible to use fabrics and dishes in bright colors as decorations. Flowers and baskets look good in village ensembles.

Classic modern style

If you need to turn to a modern stylistic direction when decorating a relaxation room, then it’s worth considering that it is only suitable for large rooms. If the leisure area does not reach 15 sq. m, then it is better to give preference to a different style.

In classic modern style there are carved details and luxurious stucco molding. When creating richer and aristocratic ensembles, it is permissible to turn to columns, a fireplace and solid solid furniture - such elements will transform the bathhouse and make it truly chic.

Scandinavian

If the owner prefers minimalism and restraint in the interior, then he should decorate the leisure space in a Scandinavian style. In such an environment, surfaces of neutral and calm shades should prevail.

IN Scandinavian interior necessary bright accents, diluting pastel palettes. Carpets can serve as such different sizes, decorative pillows with ethnic patterns or dark wrought iron lamps on the walls.

Nautical

Relaxation area made in nautical style, should be as free as possible - you should not place a lot of “heavy” objects and other cluttering things in it. In such an environment, beautiful panoramic glazing will look good, bringing a lot of light into the space.

As decoration in a marine style, you can use ship models, aquariums of different sizes, beautiful pebbles or decorative pillows in the shape of sea animals.

How to arrange it?

To make the rest room comfortable, cozy and warm, it needs to be provided with high-quality heating. To do this, you can use a stove or underfloor heating system. Experts do not advise organizing complex and expensive heating in such spaces, since the steam room and washing compartment will be used periodically, warming up the room. Together, you can achieve high-quality heating in winter, when it is especially necessary.

It is also better to hydro- and vapor-proof the bathhouse to extend the life of the finishing materials.

It is necessary to take a responsible approach to the design of a leisure room - it must be harmonious and attractive. It is necessary to decide in advance which style you like best, so that you can then draw up a plan, based on which it will be easier to choose decoration and furniture.

No need to overload the break room a large number furniture and decor, especially if it is medium or small in size, otherwise the interior will turn out inharmonious.

Properly selected lighting plays an equally important role in arranging a recreation area. In such an environment the following will look natural:

small lamps installed around the perimeter;
discreet central light of moderate brightness;
muted sources located along the edges;
spotlights;
natural light.

Don't forget about high-quality ventilation inside the room - without it, being in the room may not be very convenient and comfortable.

It will be much easier to competently design a relaxation room in a bathhouse if you rely on the advice of experienced designers.

It is not recommended to place sofas upholstered in leather in the bathhouse, since such pieces of furniture will not last long in such conditions, despite their luxurious appearance and high price.
There is no need to use metal parts in the bathhouse. When exposed to high temperatures, they will quickly heat up, after which you can accidentally burn yourself on them.
It is not recommended to use toxic and neon shades when decorating a bath room. They will not contribute to relaxation and quality rest.

“To wash yourself in a bathhouse is to be born again,” they said in the old days. However, a good stove, shelves made of fragrant wood and the opportunity to plunge into cold water- that's not all. The interior design of the steam room is of no small importance for comfort. With a little effort and letting your imagination run wild, you can create a colorful and cozy interior baths!

How to decorate a steam room with wood and pebbles

Linden lining is perhaps the most popular material for interior decoration of rooms with high temperatures. Pleasant to the body, aromatic, with a healing effect - it could be better, perhaps, lining with embossing that imitates various types decorative coatings: Snake skin pattern, bamboo, etc.

The design of the steam room is in eco-style - the walls and ceiling are lined with boards, and benches are included in the “set” for them. Interesting idea for this style of bathhouse - a wall-mounted firewood rack indoors. Firewood for the stove is laid out in the form of panels.

A wall lined with pebbles will also decorate the room. It can also be used to finish the floor in a washing room. And if you don’t skimp, you can decorate the design for a bathhouse or hamam with a floor made of coins.

If you want to save space, a raised decorated floor will help: if you wanted to take a shower, you lowered it, you decided to swim, you raised it.

Bath design

The feeling of freshness will create a beautiful washroom design natural style. Wildlife has a powerful calming effect. Therefore, in one case, the designers used large logs with untreated granite, in the other, they lined the inside of the wall with stone and tiles.

Design elements such as waterfalls from the walls would be appropriate in the bathhouse premises. You can deorize them large shells instead of traditional mixers.

Fans of minimalism and new life for old things in bathhouse design will love a shower made from a large garden watering can.

If there is no room for a pool, then you can cool down after the steam room in the plunge pool. Fortunately, it’s easy to make it with your own hands – from an ordinary barrel.

A washbasin made from a simple barrel will help you “maintain style”

And comfortable furniture from them is in the dressing room.

The floor may also be original. A cork covering with a “straw” pattern is more suitable for a country-style bathhouse interior. In addition to this flooring, you should take a bale of straw as a coffee table (an idea from the Hacienda show). Another interesting solution for the floor is a pattern made of boards and refractory bricks.

For an unusual bathhouse - the same doors from natural materials– wooden, in style village house. But these porthole windows will tell you how to use spare parts from an old washing machine.

Lighting and accessories

The best lamp for the interior of a bathhouse is one made by yourself. A chandelier in the shape of a stork's nest, redundant in the house, looks unusual and original. Materials: frame for a bouquet, braided with decorative raffia straw using wire. Natural antlers decorated to match the lamp - too suitable option for a natural style.

If you prefer something more modern, you need to choose lamps like these, hidden under the “torn off” planks of the interior decoration. An old basin used as a chandelier in the shower is another innovative solution.

We create a romantic mood by using candles. But bathhouses require special design. A basin or trough and ladles will do again.

In general, a basin in a bathhouse is a universal item. It is worth making such “shelves” for storing bath brooms, towels and other bath accessories. Wooden pallets can also be used in steam rooms - this good decision and for the main house.

Wicker baskets are also great for decorating a bath: large ones usually go on the floor as tables, small ones - on the wall.

From the “warm” natural materials you can make a wide variety of decor that would be appropriate in a bathhouse and sauna: boxes woven from grass, reeds, rattan, ferns, corn, bast shoes and other items that are hung on the walls and placed on benches.

The best hangers for bathrobes would be items made from branches or small stones as hooks.

Bathhouse: interior in Russian style

The interior of a steam room in the Russian style will look complete if you complement it with decorative accessories. The room can be decorated with bath brooms, embroidered curtains, wood products - figurines, spoons, mirrors, clocks made from wood cuts, which are not afraid of humidity and will help to allocate enough time for important procedures.

Tapestries made from medicinal herbs, moss and roots will quickly decorate the walls, look great and fill the room with aromas. They can be woven using a hand weaving device called a reed.

In addition to aesthetic value, herbal rugs and tapestries also perform an important healing function. A bath mat made of willow bark not only decorates, but also helps against skin diseases and sweating of the feet, relieves inflammatory processes. A tansy towel used as a compress in a bath is the main folk remedy for joint pain. Applied to the head, it relieves pain and helps get rid of dandruff. Nettle cloths increase vitality. Tapestries made from several types of herbs (wormwood, peppermint, yarrow, St. John's wort, sweet clover, etc.) are not only excellent elements of bathhouse design, but also cleanse the human body of harmful microbes and have a tonic or calming effect.

How to design a bathhouse

Herbal products woven on a reed are strong and durable. The only condition is that direct sunlight should not fall on them. The natural aroma of tapestries can be enhanced by sprinkling them with water. For the same purpose, they are hung in the steam room.

Useful decoration for baths and saunas - decorative designer jars with sea salt and colored sand. If you look closely, you can see a pattern of mountains, sky and deserted beaches. And when you have enough of this decor, you can use it as a scrub.

The more shades of salt and sand you have, the more interesting the “landscapes” will look. Coarse salt and sand make paintings in jars worse.

Ideas for a bath

The following items will make the interior of a bathhouse or sauna more soulful: a portrait doll on a wire frame, brownies that protect the owners, humorous hats that are so pleasant to take a steam bath in.

Toys made of bast or straw are suitable for bathhouse decor. We suggest making a symbol of the coming year - a goat. And let it give you a new portion of good luck, health and a lot of happiness with each visit to the steam room! Have fun!
