Before buying collections, you need to evaluate their style and color scheme. The presence of decorative accessories will contribute to the ease of creating the original design. For example, beautiful panels, mosaic masonry will help to style the room quickly and simply. An independent decoupage will help to budget competently design the walls. It can be carried out with cloth, paper, and adhesive pictures. And you can use special beads or other jewelry for such a task. Custom styling of individual elements will help to cheaply and simply create a designer finish. But before carrying out the work, it is necessary to accurately calculate and purchase enough materials.To do this, you need to take into account the parameters of the finish, the room, as well as the desired thickness of the seams.
For the competent stylization of sanitary facilities, you can use a variety of wall decor. It allows you to highlight niches, stylize and separate surfaces. Original additions relate to the following types:
Mosaic;
Small tiles help highlight parts of the walls. They can be used for pasting the screen, laying out the lower half of the walls, separating them (laid out with a thin or wide strip). Suitable for decorating space above baseboards, filling niches, highlighting shower areas.
Border;
It is used for horizontal, vertical separation of space. It is a small rectangles.
Panel;
They can have medium and large sizes. They represent a finished image (drawing a picture on one element) or are used to lay out large paintings by compiling elements with different parts of the picture.
Piece elements.
Similar to border elements, but at the same time they have a large height and width. They are used to separate walls, complemented by patterns and abstractions.
The styling method as a kind of decor
The conditions for laying tiles on the walls and floor affect the overall design, especially the perception of design. Its gluing can be carried out according to the following schemes:
Inline.
Assumes the arrangement of elements strictly under each other. Thanks to this, the effect of dividing the wall into squares is achieved. Applicable only for perfectly flat surfaces.
"Brick" (offset).
The offset of each row creates special dynamics of design, allows you to hide surface irregularities.
Diagonal.
This method uses the decoration of square and rectangular shapes. It is fixed at an angle of 90 degrees - diagonally.
With a shift.
It involves laying large and small elements. They can be placed standardly or at an angle of 90 degrees.
"Herringbone".
Conducted to simulate parquet. Only rectangular long elements are suitable for work.
The most unusual styling is for ceramic tiles in the shape of honeycombs. Such decoration makes the design stand out, expands the space.
Color spectrum
It is worth moving away from standard white and blue tones when decorating plumbing rooms. They will be perfectly replaced by beige, turquoise shades. To create a warm design, it is recommended to use light brown and pink colors. They combine well with each other, create a harmonious zoning of space. For small rooms, it is worth choosing pastel and other light colors. For example, shades of lavender, pale green and light yellow will help to make the space bigger, to conduct a competent stylization. For spacious rooms, the use of a dark blue, purple shade is acceptable. A combination of black and gold will be exquisite. But to complement silver with a black finish is not recommended: the finished design will be cold and uncomfortable. The presence of jewelry will help to make the room original. But it should not be much, otherwise the space will be visually reduced. To highlight some parts of the room, to emphasize the decorations will help the installation of bright illuminators.
Width and color of seams
The thickness and height of the joints between the individual elements in the bathroom play an important role. They can reduce, increase space, are one of the design elements. Therefore, when choosing a grout and crosses, the following features should be considered:
Light grout requires more care, as it often darkens. On dark grout, soap scatter and dust will be clearly visible.A profitable solution is to use a grout to match the finish. To prevent the appearance of mold and fungus on it, the addition of special antiseptic agents will help.
The average seam width is 1-2 mm. Thick seams help reduce space. They are suitable only for large rooms, lined with large elements.
The contrast between the colors of the finish and the seams highlights any unevenness and installation errors. Therefore, abrupt transitions between shades of cladding and grouting should be avoided.
The same color of the finish and seams makes the wall seamless. This design helps to hide any irregularities.
Design and ways to transform space
With a careful selection of the design of the finish, you can beautifully and originally beat the space of any premises according to the parameters. A small area is not a sentence if you make the walls light. They do not have to be just white. For example, the finish may have the color of a pearl. The combination of light walls and a dark floor looks good. Raising the ceiling will help the inclusion of flat tiles in a brighter color. Horizontal framing of the room will help expand the space. At the same time, the part under the restriction and the floor itself can be gray, brown. Small patterns are applicable for spacious rooms. But the combined bathroom is better to decorate with one large panel with beads, people or other design. For a marine style, it can be images of a dolphin, shell, sunset or a sandy beach. Floral panels with bouquets are more suitable for spacious rooms. For small-sized ones, it is better to opt for one medium or large flower: orchid, rose, tulip. In a spacious room, dark wood trim is also acceptable.
Tile decoupage
Refreshing the old décor or decorating a new décor is pretty easy using simple decoupage tips.For the bathtub, a separate decoration of tiles (from the set or already glued to the wall) is suitable. Dense napkins for decoupage, high-quality fabric can be used as decorations (a cotton cloth with a small percentage of synthetics is ideal). You can also glue beautiful half beads with universal glue to the surfaces. But they must be well treated with varnish after fixing. The easiest option is to use vinyl stickers that simply stick to the surface of the walls. You can do the original decoupage using a cloth or paper with your own hands according to the following instructions:
To process a basis with a glossy or dull surface with sandpaper with minimal abrasiveness. Degrease the surface. From the material for decoupage cut the desired item;
Soak the paper or fabric with a special colorless adhesive for decoupage, attach to the base. To process a surface with a dense flat brush, removing the accumulated air;
After the glue dries, apply a protective varnish of high density.
Tile Care
Proper cleaning of tiles should be carried out without the use of abrasive powders, metal and other hard brushes. Such surface treatment will lead to the formation of microcracks, where dust, dirt and soap will constantly accumulate. In the resulting damage, pieces of metal scrapers can get stuck, which will lead to rust. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the recommendations of the manufacturers before washing the surfaces. These formulations should be immediately purchased after repairs and constantly used for cleaning. This will eliminate darkening and damage to individual elements, abrasion of the protective glossy or matte layer. To clean the seams, it is recommended to purchase special grouts. They will ensure that the contaminants are pushed up, ensuring ease of removal.
The compounds used for quick and effective cleaning of joints are aggressive.When using them, be sure to wear a mask and tight rubber gloves.
Material quantity calculation
Buying materials for home decoration should begin with an accurate calculation of the required units. For wall cladding (in-line), the calculation must be carried out according to this scheme:
Multiply the height and width of each wall, respectively. Add up the numbers. Calculate the sum of the areas of window and doorways (height is multiplied by width), subtract it from the previously obtained number;
Multiply the length of each trim element by its height;
Divide the number obtained in paragraph 1 by the number of 2 points.
When dividing walls, using different types of finishes, such a calculation must be carried out for each type. If masonry with an offset will be carried out, then it is better to use a special program for work. Counting can be carried out both in meters and in centimeters. The calculation of the amount of flooring is done by dividing the floor area by the area of one tile. For direct laying, 5% should be added to the resulting number, and for non-standard laying (offset, diagonal) - 10%. Such a safety net will help to acquire a sufficient amount of materials.
Conclusion
Creating a beautiful and stylish design of sanitary facilities requires a careful selection of finishes. Owners will need to determine the appropriate style, color scheme of products. For simple styling, you can distribute different types of decorative elements on the walls. And you can just pick up an interesting masonry to highlight areas, expand space.
