Arrangement of a bathroom in a wooden house
When arranging a bathroom in a wooden house, one should take into account the dimensions of the room, the number of people living and regularly resting in the house, the number of really necessary equipment.
Bath
An important element of the bathroom is a bathtub. One of the main criteria for choosing a bathroom is its weight. The lightest models are made of acrylic. Their weight is approximately 30 kg. Cast iron bathtubs are heavier, but they are strong and durable.
In a country house, a bathtub made of real wood will look spectacular. It will promote physical and emotional relaxation, but with regular use it will quickly lose its attractive appearance. A wooden bathtub should be well saturated with a special liquid that protects against moisture and bacteria, and covered with several layers of varnish.
Usually the bath is placed so that it is adjacent to the wall on one side. If free space allows, the bath should be placed in the middle of the room, and communications to it should be carried out under the floor. In front of the bath, it is necessary to leave 80-100 cm of free space so that you can comfortably get out of the font. Clothes hangers and heated towel rails are recommended to be installed at a distance of approximately 60 cm from the bath.

Other plumbing
In addition to the bathtub, the bathroom is equipped with:
- Wash basin. It is standardly mounted at a height of 70-80 cm from the floor. When installing it, it is necessary to take into account the growth of each family member.
- Shower cubicle. It is located at any wall of the room. The most compact option is to install a shower cabin with sliding doors in the corner of the room.
- Toilet. Installed if the bathroom is combined with a toilet. Leave at least 70 cm of free space in front of the toilet.
If the bathroom is large, then you can additionally place a bidet, washing machine, and other appliances. A photo of a spacious bathroom in a country house in a wooden house can be seen below.
Furnishings
If the bathroom has a small area, then only plumbing will fit in it. For a spacious bathroom, you can choose a variety of furniture:
- Wardrobe or chest of drawers for towels and linen;
- Basket for dirty clothes;
- High chairs and steps for children to reach the sink;
- Shelves for hygiene products.
A mirror is an essential element of any bathroom. It decorates the premises, visually increases its size and allows you to comb, apply makeup.
