To make such a restroom comfortable and beautiful, it is important to choose the right finish for the walls, floor and ceiling, as well as rationally arrange the plumbing.

Actually, the repair itself in the houses of the old Soviet construction is also carried out according to certain rules. Read below how to decorate a small Khrushchev bathroom, as well as how its design should be.

Bathroom finishing

You can decorate a compact Khrushchev bathroom with absolutely any moisture-resistant materials. Usually the walls are tiled or sheathed with PVC panels. Sometimes green drywall or mosaics are also used.

Tiling

The tile is glued with preliminary marking. First, the walls are finished, then the ceiling and at the final stage the floor. The adhesive is applied with a notched trowel.

It is better to lay tiles on the floor of a small bathroom diagonally

Grouting is done with a matching color paste.

Finishing with plastic panels

The advantage of this material is that the alignment procedure before its installation is not necessary. This reduces repair time and reduces its cost.

Plastic panels are a great option for covering uneven surfaces in a Khrushchev bathroom

Repair of a combined bathroom in Khrushchev using PVC panels is done as follows:

• A frame made of wooden slats 40x20 mm is attached to the walls.

Attach PVC panels to usually wooden frame

• The ceiling plinth and corner elements are installed.
• The floor plinth is installed.
• To fix the panels, clamps or clips are used.

Installation method plastic panels on clips

The same technology is used to repair a shared bathroom in Khrushchev.

Other materials

Mosaic is mounted in much the same way as tiles. Sticking is made on the leveled surface. GCR is sewn onto the frame. Plastering is done with a spatula in several layers.

The plaster is applied to drywall with a spatula in thin layers.

Arrangement of plumbing

In Khrushchev, it does not allow to turn around in terms of the placement of plumbing fixtures. Arrange them compactly, taking into account the standards of SNiP.

The minimum free space in front of the sink and bathtub is 70 cm, in front of the toilet bowl 60 cm. functional area next to the washing machine - 90 cm. The distance between the plumbing fixtures themselves is at least 25 cm.

Ways to install plumbing in a Khrushchev bathroom

If Khrushchev is located on a short wall, it is customary to install a bathtub or shower stall opposite it. If the entrance is arranged on a long one - a toilet bowl / sink group. The washing machine is usually placed in this case against the wall adjacent to the door.

The most suitable toilet option for a small Khrushchev bathroom is hanging. Bathtubs and showers are often installed in corners. The towel holder can be hung next to the sink.

Towel holder can be nailed next to the sink

In Khrushchev, separate from the bathroom, it is such that nothing can usually be put inside except for the toilet bowl. However, if the width of the toilet is more than a meter, you can try to hang the sink on the wall.

What should be the design

In Khrushchev, as well as separate, it is selected taking into account some recommendations. The main thing when choosing a design is to try to make the room as harmonious as possible.

The color scheme for finishing small bathrooms is usually light.

It would be a good idea to decorate the interior of the combined bathroom in Khrushchev with a large number of mirrors. This will also increase the volume of the room. The lighting is bright.

The use of mirrors allows you to significantly increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe small Khrushchev bathroom visually.

You can decorate the Khrushchev bathroom in an original way by installing unusual plumbing or decorating the walls with panels

The most suitable design options for Khrushchev bathrooms are minimalism and hi-tech. If desired, you can arrange a compact toilet in Provence or retro style.

Decoration in the style of minimalism

The characteristic features of this direction are discreet colors (beige, brown, gray) and a minimum decorative elements. For wall decoration, plain tiles of no more than two different shades are suitable. Light fixtures of a modest design will look very good.

Hi-tech style

When decorating such a restroom, a lot of mirrors, glass and chrome elements are used. The color scheme is usually not too catchy. Mostly grayscale. A great example of high-tech style restroom design:

Destination Provence

Shades in the "French" dressing room are used light, pastel. Walls are best finished with plain tiles, complemented by a border with a delicate pattern. Often mirrors and elegant lamps are hung in such bathrooms.

Light colors, textiles and elegant decor are the characteristic features of the Provence style.

Retro style

The colors of such a restroom are usually dominated by brown, dark gray and white. In this case, the method of contrasts is widely used. For example, you can combine a brown wood-look hanging set with white walls, floors and ceilings. An example of a neat retro-style restroom:

This method, by the way, is a good answer to the question of how to divide a combined restroom into zones.

When in Khrushchev, you should pay maximum attention to the selection of finishes, properly arrange plumbing and try to make the design in the same style. The result is a very beautiful and functional restroom.

Maximum practicality with the minimum area of ​​​​the combined bathroom. 3-4m, 2 allotted in Khrushchev to solve small and big problems, leave no room for a flight of fancy. I would like the territory so important for everyday life not to look like an elevator cabin. If a we are talking not about redecorating a combined bathroom in Khrushchev, but first of all about a serious redevelopment and turning it into a comfortable office for personal needs, it’s worth seriously working with a photo of combined bathrooms after a real repair.

No matter how beautiful the design solutions are in advertising offering turnkey renovation of a combined bathroom, real solutions in practice are very different from magazine projects.

Among the wide variety of wall and ceiling design solutions, the most practical options repairs are:

• The use of tiles;
• Use of PVC panels;
• The use of waterproof drywall;
• Use of decorative panels made of modified wood.

But not always the use of modern bathrooms when repairing a combined bathroom quality materials saves from bad decisions.

A small room of a combined bathroom of 3 sq.m or 4 sq.m, decorated with high-quality dark tiles, makes the atmosphere heavy. You can truly appreciate the result of the repair and the splendor of the finish only if you have big window and sunlight, which never happened in Khrushchev. Replace sunlight imitation lamps will not work. In addition, the dark surface of the decor shows dirt and traces of dried moisture more than the light one.

The correct layout of the combined bathroom

Before starting repairs, it is worth soberly assessing the possibilities and choosing what you can refuse in order to increase the free space in the combined bathroom. Pay attention to the classic solution to the Khrushchev problem in the photo. Thanks to the replacement of the bathtub with a shower cabin in the center of the combined bathroom, it turned out to be quite large, as for Khrushchev, free space.

Successful solutions in the repair of a combined bathroom include:

• High-quality execution of the floor, successfully combined in color, without closed niches and blocks;
• Hinged plumbing options add space underfoot;
• The location of the washing machine in the combined bathroom - often only for the sake of this they carry out repairs and redevelopment of the bath-toilet in Khrushchev.

The first redevelopment option is associated with a large amount of work to change the sewer and water communications in the combined Khrushchev office. Separating a shower cabin and a toilet bowl on one side and a washbasin with a “washer” on the other side requires laborious laying of drain pipes in wall niches, taking into account restrictions on their length, which is not always achievable in small areas of Khrushchev.

The use of ceramic and tile in repairs

quality ceramic tile has always been the most commonly used material for decorating and renovating bathrooms. The use of tiles requires significant costs, sometimes leads to a decrease in the internal volume of the combined bathroom, especially if the walls are curved, it requires leveling the base with drywall or carrier plaster.

Alternatively, a combined solution is possible - a combination of tiles and walls finished with waterproof plasterboard, followed by a coating that imitates rough plaster. The effect is important - lower costs and an excellent combination of different techniques, which is normal for Khrushchev.

Almost no alternative is the option of laying tiles on the floor. A bathroom with a washing machine, and even more so a bathroom in Khrushchev, has always been and remains a source of possible emergencies associated with spilling large amounts of water on the floor.

To reduce the adverse effects, before laying the tiles, it is advisable to perform a self-leveling floor with waterproofing and a threshold raised by 3-4 cm front door. In this case, twenty liters of water spilled out of the washing machine will not go beyond the combined bathroom and will not cause a scandal with the neighbors on the floor below.

A special corrugated coating will firmly hold the tile on the base for at least 10 years. Advantages of ceramic tiles:

• Easy to clean with any cleaning products;
• High resistance to abrasion and exposure to adverse microflora;
• Under the influence of moisture, heat and light does not fade and does not emit harmful substances.

The disadvantages include the high cost of the material and professional work by her setup. Laying or gluing tiles is estimated at about half the price of the material.

Although it is difficult to imagine that the owner of a Khrushchev apartment would use expensive Spanish or Italian handmade ceramics to repair a combined bathroom, laying tiles even in a small space of 2x2m will cost most of the repair budget.

Therefore, in order to reduce prices without loss of quality, inserts from spectacular tile sets are often used against the background of a cheaper solid array. In some cases, the tile is laid only in places of intense condensate sweating or direct water ingress, replacing the rest of the wall with a water-resistant plasterboard painted to match.

Use of PVC panels

The most budgetary and affordable option for repairing a combined bathroom in Khrushchev is to use PVC tiles or panels and waterproof drywall.

Both materials are successfully used for technical purposes - primarily to hide communications and pipelines, insulation of valves, taps and meters.

The boards can be glued on prepared and glued surfaces. This approach practically does not reduce the internal volume of the bathroom. In the case of decorating decorative boxes, a building frame profile is used. Next, PVC slabs or panels are glued, completely imitating expensive varieties of ceramic or marble tiles. For a combined bathroom in Khrushchev, this is the most affordable option.

The most problematic place in the Khrushchev bathroom has always been the ceiling. Repairing the always uneven ceiling surfaces required exceptional funds. The ideal solution to the ceiling problems was a set of PVC panels mounted on a metal frame.

This option has a number of advantages in the repair of a combined Khrushchev bathroom:

• Easily passes air and retains water vapor;
• Lightweight design is firmly held by a metal frame;
• The subceiling space is easily used for laying additional wiring and pipes.
• Easy to clean, will not rot, corrode, warp or sag.

Important ! If the neighbors living on the floor above regularly ruin the ceiling of your bathroom with regular floods, the only option is to use PVC panels.

Polyvinyl chloride panels can be called a universal material that can correct appearance walls or even the layout of the bathroom. Hidden niches are made from it for storing chemicals and hygiene products, screens that close the space under the bathroom, air ducts that help to ventilate the room of the combined bathroom with high quality.

Increased humidity from a large amount of water in the bathroom requires not just ventilation, but the creation of a ventilation system with hidden air ducts and an electric fan. Without ventilation, odors and moisture will eat into the walls of the Khrushchev bathroom.

The local air exhaust system has proven itself perfectly, providing 3-4-fold air exchange in the area of ​​​​the toilet bowl and shower cabin. During the repair, flat air ducts with wiring are mounted on the ceiling of the bathroom, covered with a ceiling made of MDF panels or drywall. A more serious modification can provide stable ventilation of the entire Khrushchev, and not just a combined bathroom.

A more expensive decor option for the bathroom ceiling are stretch ceiling, giving a beautiful appearance, but the cost of their installation, even for a room of 3 sq.m, turns out to be prohibitive, given the status of Khrushchev housing.

To all the positive points, it is worth adding a negative one. Device supply and exhaust ventilation in the Khrushchev bathroom is such that if a fire occurs, for example, from a shorted electrical wiring or for other reasons, a fire will instantly flare up in the bathroom, like in a stove. Therefore, the wiring in the bathroom should be laid in special mounting metal hoses-sleeves. Don't skimp on safety.

The warmest and most expensive option for repairing a bathroom in Khrushchev

Repairing the walls and furniture of a combined Khrushchev bathroom may seem archaic, but with the skills of skillful handling of wood and varnish, you can create very cozy and practical options.

If you make repairs in the bathroom with your own hands, then the cost of purchasing the material will be quite low, it will be very expensive handmade and wood flooring. When using ready-made solutions - modified wood panels, which is unlikely for repairing Khrushchev, the cost may exceed the estimate for laying high-quality tiles.

Wood, even under a layer of varnish, very poorly perceives constant contact with water, this leads to loss of color, the development of mold and warping of the structure. Therefore, in the repair of a combined Khrushchev bathroom, species such as larch, oak, and pine are used. It is undesirable to use birch or beech. You can make an analogue of modified wood yourself by covering the blanks cut out for repair with 5-6 layers of oil varnish with thorough drying of each layer for 2-3 days.

One of the most difficult housing issues is the repair of a bathroom in Khrushchev. The main difficulty is created by low ceilings and a very small area of ​​​​the room, especially since in most cases the bathroom is combined. On an average area of ​​​​3.5-4 m², it is quite difficult to place everything that should be in a modern bathroom - a bath or at least a shower, toilet, washbasin, washing machine and a minimum number of lockers.

Today our repair school will deal with this issue. We will look at how to fit everything you need on a few square meters.

redevelopment

In the bathroom, everything starts with the development of the design of the future room. In addition to the color scheme, it is worth considering exactly where the plumbing will be placed, as well as whether redevelopment will be carried out.

Only a small number of Khrushchevs have a combined bathroom - these are mainly three-room apartments and some houses built in the late 60s. For this reason, the beginning of repairs in almost all Khrushchev houses begins with the demolition of the partition between the bathroom and the toilet.

Together with an unnecessary wall, the following are dismantled from the room:

• tile;
• dye;
• plumbing;
• lamps;
• if necessary pipes.

Repair options

Before proceeding to the installation stage, it is worthwhile to clearly define the appearance of the future bathroom. We would like to bring to your attention, combined with a toilet, the total area of ​​\u200b\u200bwhich is 4.8 m².

Option number 1:

• the sit-down bathroom is replaced by a shower cabin;
• the drain tank is hidden in the wall;
• a hanging cabinet is placed under the sink;
• a large mirror is hung over the sink;
• for a visual increase in the center of the room, a white square is placed on the floor.

Option #2:

• a shower cabin is placed in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe former toilet;
• the toilet and sink are transferred to the bathroom area;
• the sink is placed on a countertop the length of the entire wall;
• shelves are installed under the countertop and on the sides of the sink
• the mirror occupies almost the entire wall.

Rooms larger than 4.8 m² can already accommodate a full bathroom. If a standard bathroom does not fit, we recommend installing a corner one.

Advice! If you want to install both a bathroom and a shower, you can purchase a combined option. With this solution, shelves are not installed above the sink so that they do not interfere with the opening of the cabin door.

Plumbing installation

Before starting the installation of plumbing, it is necessary to make piping and replacement of electrical wiring. These works should be performed independently only if you have the skills and experience. But the installation of plumbing can be carried out even by beginners.

To fix the toilet, you will need a special set of fasteners, which includes 2 dowels, 2 plumbing screws and decorative caps.

Toilet installation

• close the valve responsible for supplying cold water;
• level the surface of the floor and allow it to dry completely;
• apply the toilet to the place of future placement and mark the location of the holes for the fixing screws;
• drill holes for screws;
• install and fix the toilet;
• the joint with the floor is carefully treated with silicone sealant.

Washbasin installation

• apply the washbasin to the wall and mark the places of the fasteners;
• drill holes with a drill with victorious drills;
• plastic tips are hammered into the holes;
• dowels are driven in and brackets are fixed;
• hang the washbasin itself;
• install a siphon.

Advice! For the most reliable fastening of the washbasin, extra strong black dowels are used. Russian production. Chinese dowels of silver color are significantly inferior to them in quality.

Bathroom installation

• walls are treated with a moisture barrier;
• a new bath is placed upside down on cardboard;
• the supports are tried on for future placement points: the first pair of supports should be located near the drain hole at a distance of 1.5-2.5 cm to the center, the second - closer to the second edge;
• joint points are degreased;
• the protective film is removed from the supports, the supports are gently pressed against the placement sites;
• adjusting studs are hammered into plastic tips;
• if the bath is steel, apply a "fur coat" of polyurethane foam;
• the bath is brought into the bathroom sideways (it is held by the edges);
• after installation, leveling is carried out using a level;
• seal all seams and joints.

Advice! If you made a mistake in the calculations and purchased a bathtub that is too long, cut a horizontal strip in the wall and slide the end of the bathtub into it.

Simultaneously with the installation of plumbing, it is connected to the sewer and plumbing system.

Space under the bath

Inexpensive bathrooms that the general population can afford usually do not have too much nice legs, so they prefer to close the space under the bathroom in one of the following ways.

Screen types:

• with hinged doors;
• with sliding doors;
• with shelves or drawers.

Surface finishing

Often in Khrushchev in the bathroom there is a small window to the kitchen. It is better to replace the old frame with a small metal-plastic window with a folding mechanism for ventilation.

Now you can proceed to the direct finishing of surfaces.

Consider the stages of finishing using the most typical materials:

• line the walls with reflective tiles (for a visual increase, it is better to take light colors);
• joints with plumbing are sealed with silicone;
• a wooden crate is attached to the ceiling;
• PVC panels are mounted to the crate (having previously drilled holes for the lamps in them);
• a special plastic corner is fixed around the perimeter of the ceiling;
• install ceiling lights;
• make a cement screed on the floor;
• after drying, the floor is tiled;
• tile joints on the floor are coated with silicone sealant.

Completion of works

The repair of the bathroom in Khrushchev is completed by installing a heated towel rail, shelves, a mirror and other necessary little things. If the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe new room allows, connect a washing machine. Now it remains to place bath accessories and start operating a new and more spacious bathroom.

This article will consider a combined bathroom in Khrushchev - design, repair, redevelopment and the main nuances of the work.

Repairing a combined bathroom in Khrushchev seems to be a rather difficult task, since the room is rather small, but it must accommodate both a bath (shower) and a toilet. If the walls of the bathroom were not previously soundproofed, this should be done during the renovation, and you will have to choose between high-quality soundproofing and additional centimeters of available space.

Bathroom in Khrushchev

Combined bathroom - design in Khrushchev

First of all, consider the design of the bathroom in Khrushchev:

• The walls of the room are recommended to be finished with materials of pastel light shades., dark or bright colors will be appropriate only in individual elements.
  Saturated shades can enliven a space or bring a sense of mystery and comfort to it;
• In order to visually expand the space, it is recommended to lay out tiles not along the entire height of the walls, and approximately at the level of 1.6-1.7 m from the floor. The edge of the laid tiles can be highlighted with a patterned border of glass or ceramic mosaics, and the area not occupied by the tiles is decorated with plaster;
• The color of the floor is desirable to choose light gray, light blue or light brown..
  In general, when repairing a combined bathroom in Khrushchev, you should choose light colors as the main colors of the interior;
• Items such as valves, faucets, hooks, faucets, towel warmers, etc. it is advisable to choose classic, able to harmoniously fit into the interior that a shared bathroom in Khrushchev will have after repair.

The main nuances of repairing a bathroom in Khrushchev

Design of a combined bathroom in Khrushchev

In the case of a bathroom in Khrushchev, the repair will require the use of the most modern design and construction technologies, both in the case of finishing, and for the functional and engineering content of the bathroom. Bathrooms in Khrushchev have always been distinguished by a very small area, therefore, during execution, this room has to be rebuilt to the needs of a modern person.

Redevelopment of a bathroom in Khrushchev can be done in two ways:

1. Replacing a massive bathtub with a small shower cabin;
2. Acquisition of small-sized furniture and household appliances.

Both options are good in their own way, each of them can be usefully emphasized in the interior of the bathroom.

In addition, when repairing a bathroom in Khrushchev, you should pay special attention to engineering communications, which usually need to be completely replaced at the time of repair, and this applies not only to plumbing and pipes, but also to ventilation systems, since it is poor-quality exhaust that leads to in the apartment mold and dampness.

The process of repairing a bathroom in Khrushchev

Bathroom example

It is almost impossible to expand a bathroom combined in Khrushchev without, so the repair itself usually consists in replacing plumbing, tiling the walls and floor, and replacing the door. Repairing a toilet in Khrushchev is associated with a number of difficulties due to the limited space of the room.

Therefore, it is desirable to select tiles small sizes, visually expanding the space. Best Option is a mosaic of different light shades.

Important: since the toilet bowl is the only piece of furniture in the bathroom in Khrushchev, the finishing material is selected in accordance with its color - either matching the toilet bowl or contrasting with it.

Bathroom interior

Consider the main stages of the repair of a bathroom in Khrushchev:

1. The first step is to replace the door. During the construction of such houses, for some reason, doors were made to open inward, which can be convenient only for very thin people, so it is better to install a new door so that it opens not inward, but outward.
   At the same time, it is important to monitor its compliance with various environmental standards and requirements, as well as resistance to abrasion and resistance to synthetic-based detergents and household disinfectants.
2. The next stage of repair is the replacement of the toilet, or rather, its dismantling and closing the hole with a plug sewer pipe. The toilet will be installed at the end of the renovation. It should be borne in mind that on the back wall of the bathroom in Khrushchev there is a whole system, including pipelines, a sewer riser, an inlet water tap, a water meter, etc. This not only interferes with cleaning in this part of the room, but also significantly spoils the appearance of the bathroom.

Repair example

Since this accumulation of pipes and various devices cannot be removed, it is necessary to close them, while providing the opportunity, if necessary, to get full access to them. For this, it is best to build a special cabinet. To do this, they attach to the side walls wooden beam, to which, at a distance of one meter from the ceiling and floor, finishing material such as fiberboard, chipboard, drywall, plastic boards, etc. is attached, after which the remaining distance is closed with a door.

On the side walls of the resulting cabinet, small shelves can be equipped on which personal hygiene items or household chemicals can be stored.

Useful: instead of a door, the cabinet can be closed with frosted glass, which will additionally decorate the bathroom.

1. The best material for finishing is to choose tile, which is not only a traditional material, but also facilitates further cleaning and disinfection in the bathroom.
   The color and pattern of the tile is selected in accordance with personal preferences, for example, the use of two colors of tiles looks quite attractive, when the darker lower part is emphasized by a bright border with a pattern in the form of small elements, which also further expands the room visually.

Tiles in the bathroom in Khrushchev

Important: tiling of walls, floors and ceilings must be carried out by a specialist with the necessary practical skills.

1. After laying the tiles and drying the solution, you can proceed to the final stage of the repair - installing the toilet. The toilet bowl is fixed to the floor using the supplied special fasteners.

Important: it is undesirable to embed the base of the toilet in the floor, because if it becomes necessary to replace it, the floor covering will be damaged as a result of dismantling.

That's all I wanted to talk about and its repair. With the right approach, this rather small room can be turned into a fairly convenient and comfortable one, allowing you to get a boost of energy in the morning and relax after a hard day.

If you are the owner of small-sized housing of the "Khrushchev" type, then most likely the toilet is the smallest room in your apartment, so before you start repairs there, you need to prepare very carefully. Which design to choose so that it does not “eat” a small space? What materials in such a wet room will last the longest? Do you need furniture in the toilet? We will try to answer these and other questions in this article.

Repair stages

During the construction of residential buildings in the 50-70s of the last century, architects pursued the main goal - to resettle as many families as possible in comfortable apartments. Millions of Soviet people at that time received housing, albeit small, but their own. And due to this mass resettlement, of course, the area of ​​​​apartments suffered greatly. There was simply no other place to place communications in a separate apartment, except in the toilet.

Pipes of hot, cold water and sewage are located in this room, and during repairs they create a considerable problem. And if you want to place a water heater in the toilet in case of a power outage hot water, or hang a small closet, then the question arises: how to carry out repairs so that everything you would like to enter the toilet?

When planning your toilet renovation, stick to the following plan:

1. Design development;
2. Choosing a toilet bowl and its installation location;
3. Selection of materials;
4. Preparation of the surface of walls, ceiling and floor for finishing;
5. Replacement of riser and sewer pipes;
6. Ceiling decoration and lighting installation;
7. Wall repair (including installation of a ventilation grill)
8. Floor repair;
9. Installation of a toilet bowl and other plumbing fixtures (such as a bidet)
10. Installation of additional elements (boiler, cabinet, etc.)
11. Door installation.

Approximately following this order of work, you will be able to bring everything that you have planned into the interior of the toilet, without forgetting anything and without redoing it after the repair is completed.

Design planning

If you plan to repair the toilet on your own, without resorting to the help of professionals, you will have to try very hard to take into account all the subtleties and important points. Even one mismatched design detail can overshadow spending a few minutes a day in this room. But it is at this time that you are left alone with yourself and your thoughts.

When planning the interior, be sure to take into account the opinion of your household, because the toilet is a place of use for all members of your family.

Deciding together what your future "corner of loneliness" will be, consider the following points:

• The size of the toilet room and its shape;
• Location of the toilet bowl, riser and other communications;
• The relief of the walls and the presence of protrusions and recesses;
• The location of the door relative to the toilet.

With these basic parameters in mind, proceed directly to the choice of interior design. To do this, step by step, you will need to decide on:

• Interior style;
• The color scheme of the room;
• The main finishing materials;
• The presence and type of decor.

Step by step solving all these issues, you can create a very harmonious design. You can build on the chosen style by choosing the main color of the toilet. For example, in the Provence style, pastel warm shades will prevail, which will create a cozy homely atmosphere. Of the materials in this finish option, ceramic tiles are most often selected, and inserts with floral patterns or in the form of brickwork are used as decor.

Finish options

The lightest and in a simple way toilet finishing is painting latex paint, which has moisture resistant properties. When choosing this material, it should be taken into account that the walls must be perfectly even, but this is almost impossible to find in Khrushchev.

If, nevertheless, you decide to opt for painting the walls, then you first need to level them, but it is better to sheathe them with thin drywall.

Ceramic tiles are by far the most the best option sanitary room finishes. It not only looks very aesthetically pleasing and neat, but also has excellent water-repellent properties. But only professionals can work with it, since the laying process is very laborious and requires knowledge and special skills. Therefore, if you do not plan to involve specialists in the repair of the toilet, this material will most likely not suit you.

Another noteworthy material for finishing the toilet is PVC panels. Even a schoolboy can handle a simple installation, and a woman can help bring or cut them, as they are very light. The panels have moisture-resistant qualities and look beautiful, but discreet. The disadvantage in using such material for the walls of the toilet in Khrushchev is the presence of a frame on which the panels are attached. It will be located along the entire perimeter of the walls, taking away from the already small room on each side about 4 centimeters more width.

The toilet is the room in which, as well as in the kitchen, the walls are literally saturated with different smells. But unlike the latter, in the toilet they are far from always pleasant. With high humidity, this smell will constantly stand in the room, making being in the toilet uncomfortable for a person. Therefore, when choosing materials, one should avoid those that are very absorbent of odors, and this.
