Photos of interior decoration of dressing rooms: examples of design and decoration

Negative aspects of the layout

According to the standard, the bathhouse is represented by a structure made of foam block or wood. The bathhouse element described in the article (dressing room) plays an important role, since its incorrect layout can lead to discomfort.

In the absence of a dressing room, such an important element of the bathhouse as a room for relaxation, drinking tea or changing clothes completely disappears.

Dressing room interior design styles

Naturally, since the bathhouse is Russian, the Russian style is welcome in it. And it’s not difficult to customize the design of the dressing room to suit it: bundles of bagels, drying fragrant brooms, a huge samovar, a wooden trestle bed or wicker furniture, bast shoes on the walls and carved Russian bears on the doors. It will be difficult to distinguish between the dressing room and the entryway to the hut.

For those for whom the most important thing is comfort, you can forget about conventions and furnish it at home: a lot of fabric and decor, cute curtains on the window, a soft sofa and paintings, and, of course, a good built-in hood in the ceiling so that all this did not rot from moisture after a month.

It is worth noting that the yacht style is the most popular for bath complexes. It is simply ideal for those rooms in which cold metal and soft fabric, plastic structures and warm wood are forced to combine. The most traditional design of dressing rooms with their appliances and checkered curtains! And, since there is such source material, all that remains is to stylize it to complete the image:

If possible, noticeable metal parts and walls should be chromed - this will be the brightest accent of yacht design.
Adding fur to textiles is an important element of this style. Those. fur throws on the sofa, a bear skin on the floor or a stretched out wolf on the wall.
The technical part, like the door to the boiler room or some levers, can and should be highlighted - but in harmonious combination with the interior of the dressing room.
On the floor - a red carpet, which is not particularly afraid of moisture, or a floor made of a good strong board.
Lining is the best fit as a finishing material in this style - oak is perfect.
Both the decor and furniture are only the same as for a yacht – moisture-resistant and durable!

And finally, bright elements of nautical decor: shells, fishing nets instead of curtains, themed decorations, a real anchor and beautiful metal inscriptions on all doors. Similar solutions can be seen in some glossy photos of the interior of the dressing room and its detailing - it looks very, very solid. More chic and shine - behind the doors is the captain's cabin!

Frame dressing room - the best

Frame construction has clear advantages over other types of construction technologies.

Its distinctive features:

light weight of the structure under construction, requiring a less massive foundation;
ease of installation of elements;
many options for creating the interior and exterior of the building;
excellent thermal insulation of the structure.

How to introduce the Russian spirit into a bathhouse?

But the fact that this is still a bathhouse will always be reminded by the enveloping warmth in the dressing room and specific aromas: birch brooms under the ceiling, the smells of pine and fir, aromatic oils in jars and beautiful stylized shelves and lamps, with spectacular wood carvings and antique vintage execution.

An integral attribute is the smell of freshly brewed herbal tea, with spices, prepared using a special technology. No electric kettles! It's even dangerous. But an old Russian samovar will create its own special atmosphere of comfort: it was not without reason that it was once made so that you could wait an hour for boiling water. After all, this is a whole ceremony, a long process from splitting the splinters to arranging the cups, which takes place in leisurely conversations, jokes and exchange of news. Today people come to the bathhouse to rest and relax after a week of work - there is nowhere to rush, time stops here and there is no place for vanity. The interior should also be conducive to this.

It is important to pay attention to the lighting design in the waiting room: the lighting here is traditionally soft, slightly dimmed and setting you in a relaxed mood. After all, a person, having opened the doors to the bathhouse, must feel that all the fuss, problems and tension will have to be left behind the threshold, thrown into the nearest snowdrift, and here he has come to rest his soul and body (and if he comes from the street into bright light and a cold tiled floor - the sensations will be akin to being in an operating room). The lamps themselves in the dressing room are one of the central design elements; you need to select them with soul, and it is better to give preference to noble vintage and unpretentious simplicity than technological metal monsters.

And most importantly, the waiting room should really be warm. There is a fire playing in the stove screen, there is a slight smell of smoke that breaks free with each stack of firewood, and from behind the door in the steam room lively, satisfied voices of vacationers are heard. It’s not without reason that they say – to wash yourself in a bathhouse, it’s like being born again!

Foundation for frame construction

As a foundation for a frame dressing room, a lightweight foundation should be used: pile or shallow foundation.

Creating a shallow foundation is done as follows:

The area is being planned and marked.
In places where the walls of the building should be located, half-meter trenches with a width of 30 centimeters are dug.
Sand is poured into the trench in layers and also compacted layer by layer with water wetting.
Formwork is created along the perimeter of the trench.
The base of the formwork is reinforced.
The concrete solution is poured according to the level of the formwork.
After the concrete hardens, waterproofing roofing felt is laid.

If a bathhouse with a large dressing room is being built, then you need to additionally insert reinforcement into the poured solution, which will increase the strength and reliability of the structure. In the same way, a bathhouse with a utility block can be built, which is quite practical.

Finishing materials and stylized furniture

Initially, only benches were placed in the dressing room, and the walls were not decorated with anything - just a log house. Today, even in a miniature bathhouse with a small area, everyone wants to achieve maximum comfort. And all because the functional purpose of the steam room has long ago changed: they no longer come here just to wash and do laundry; on the contrary, a Russian man will spend his last money on building a bathhouse and going there every weekend with a large group of friends. This is stress relief! Therefore, the dressing room no longer serves only as a wardrobe or hallway - if it is impossible to build a full-fledged rest room, comfort can be achieved in it using all available methods.

The most popular finishing for dressing rooms is lining and stone (although the latter can be seen more and more often only in photos than in life). Moreover, now you can use pine lining of the lowest class - there is no such heat in this room, the resin will not flow, and the knots with their resin pockets look like decor. The only thing is that you need to process the paneling here twice, like in a washing room (there is still humidity in the dressing room), and still refuse the birch.

Rattan wicker furniture is also especially good - it doesn’t take up much space, it’s inexpensive, and it’s easy to care for. Only then you will also have to get rid of the humid air using modern methods - the same ventilation or a special air dryer.

As for the design of dressing room furniture specifically, the so-called “goblin style” is in great demand here - benches and a table of rough design, ornate natural patterns, carved forest elements on wood, mirrors and paintings framed by driftwood painted with dark varnish. The style of the goblin in the dressing room gives the impression that you have just entered some forest house and now a fairy tale is about to begin. Cute and quite Russian style.

Aesthetics and practicality of frame cladding

Once the frame is ready, you can begin covering it. It is best to use wood material (lining) for finishing. The sheathing process begins on the outside of the building. Sheets of material should be placed horizontally. It is best to use overlapping glassine as a lining under the lining.

Then, roll-type thermal insulation material with a thickness of 5 centimeters is laid into the walls and fixed with lathing on the inside of the wall. It is allowed to lay up to 3 layers of heat-insulating material, taking into account its characteristics. Inside, the lining is fixed to a lathing with a layer of polyethylene.

Thus, a wall pie is obtained from the following layers:

outer layer of lining;
glassine;
rolled thermal insulation material 5-15 centimeters thick;
polyethylene;
inner layer of lining.

In the process of attaching a dressing room to a chopped bathhouse, you can place layers of material in the cake using alternative methods. For example, instead of wooden lining it is permissible to use siding. Naturally, the choice of material remains with the owner, who has a certain amount of money.

When creating a bathhouse from rounded timber, you need to finish the dressing room yourself using a material that imitates the surface of the main building. We are talking about such a covering as a blockhouse.

Following the cladding, flooring and ceiling cladding are carried out. It is very important to provide high-quality thermal insulation of all floors. Once finishing is complete, you can install a door between the main building and the dressing room. The height of the door should not exceed 160-170, and the width - 70 centimeters.

Interior decoration of the dressing room

When the insulation work is completely completed, you can proceed to finishing. Traditionally, the dressing room is lined with wooden clapboard. Both deciduous and coniferous trees are suitable for this. Do not forget that the general style of all bath rooms should be the same or similar.

Floor covering in the dressing room

The most moisture-resistant wood is oak and larch.
However, even these materials must be treated with an antiseptic and water-repellent solution to prevent rotting. We carry out the work in this order:

On top of the waterproofing layer we fill beams 3-4 cm thick in increments of 0.3-0.4 meters.
We treat the floorboard with water-repellent liquid and fire retardants.
We fix it to the beams using a tongue-and-groove system using self-tapping screws near the walls, deepening their caps into the base by a few millimeters.
It is also advisable to install additional covering, for example, rubber mats.

Finishing the walls and ceiling of the dressing room

First the ceiling is sheathed.
Do not forget to leave a ventilation gap between the insulation and the finishing material during facing work. We carry out the cladding in the following sequence:

We put a counter-lattice on the ceiling to secure the lining.
We fix the first element opposite the door with a nail driven into the groove of the part at an angle of 45 degrees.
We check the evenness of the installation with a level and install the subsequent parts.
We attach beams 3-5 cm thick to the foil insulation.
We begin the installation of the lining from the corner of the wall, hammering in the fasteners in a hidden way, as on the ceiling.
We install platbands and baseboards.

If you wish, you can cover the walls with clapboard vertically, horizontally and even diagonally.

Chalet style design

Scandinavian countries have their own traditional form of buildings - chalets. This type of design solution is becoming popular in Russia due to similar weather conditions. The chalet is an addition to the natural landscape and is located in a picturesque area, away from populated areas, on an elevated lake shore. This location is ideal for arranging a bathhouse. The shape and material of the building is close to the traditional Russian bathhouse, but has its own characteristics.

The bathhouse must have a high stone base that protects against flooding or freezing. It is better to use natural stone for finishing the base, but if there is a lack of funds, you can use artificial one. Manufacturers have achieved great external similarity and high performance qualities in artificial analogues.

The walls are erected from massive timber or logs , the building has one floor, and sometimes an attic is equipped. The finishing materials are dominated by wood and glass. The architectural feature is the observance of squat proportions due to the ratio of the height to the area of the bathhouse. Reliability and security are also achieved by the appearance of a gable roof with low overhanging slopes. In buildings on a relief, one roof slope can rest on the ground. The asymmetry of the roof is explained by the concept of embedding the house into the terrain.

The chalet's saunas are heated using a classic fireplace or fireplace stove. The use of modern modifications of long-burning fireplace stoves makes it possible to maintain the required temperature for a long time, while the consumption of firewood will be minimal, which is important in cold climates. Interior items are selected in traditional Scandinavian style - comfortable massive furniture made of natural wood.

In relaxation rooms in Scandinavian-style bathhouses, the presence of a viewpoint of the natural landscape is of great importance; for this purpose, strip glazing is used on one of the walls. Structural beams of the ceiling and walls are a decoration of the interior; they are specially emphasized to give brutality to the atmosphere. The chalet organically combines the latest ergonomic and functional equipment for a steam room, shower and swimming pool with ethnic design.

In what style should you design the dressing room?

Of course, everyone chooses the style for the interior of the dressing room, and each owner chooses the design according to his own taste. But if you like to often invite guests to take a steam bath, then it would not be superfluous to design the dressing room in the traditions of the chosen style.

Russian dressing room style

The dressing room and bathhouse in the Russian style, as well as in any other, are always decorated together - this is a sign of good taste. To add a Russian flavor, it is enough to build a bathhouse from logs, hang birch or oak brooms and place the samovar on a wooden table.

And to smooth out the roughness, you can lay a lace tablecloth on the table, wicker runners on the floor, and hang cozy linen curtains with hand-made patterns on the window.

Turkish motifs in the dressing room

The Turkish hammam bath is fundamentally different from the Russian decoration. The first is characterized by mosaic decoration of the steam room and washing room. In order for the entire bath complex to be in the same style, as we have already found out, the design of the dressing room should be in the Turkish style. Only it is already characterized by an abundance of bright curtains, the presence of soft sofas with multi-colored pillows, but of course there should be a hookah on the table.

Finnish, Scandinavian style in the dressing room

Just like Russian, Finnish style implies an abundance of wood trim and wooden furniture. A Scandinavian-style dressing room implies a more aesthetic finish. Therefore, often in the interior of bathhouses you can find wall decoration with clapboard of the purest sort from aspen, larch or cedar. They are often painted white. It is also necessary to have wooden benches and a table, preferably of a laconic, rectangular shape.

Yacht style

The most interesting and original style for the entire bathhouse as a whole and the dressing room separately. Wall decoration with clapboard would be 100% appropriate here. The window in the dressing room and on the door to the washing room in the form of a porthole will perfectly emphasize this style. Curtains made of checkered fabric, fur pillows on the sofa, a wooden steering wheel on the wall next to paintings with a seascape will perfectly express the maritime theme.

Steam room in the bathhouse: finishing and decor

It is especially necessary to carefully consider the interior design of the steam room in the bathhouse, since it is both the main attraction and the main functional room.

The main element of the steam room, which is the heater stove, is best laid out from traditional brick, which can withstand high temperatures and is not subject to destruction due to moisture.

An irreplaceable component of the room is shelves. The ideal option is to make them corner in several tiers. This will save space and also allow you to independently select the optimal temperature for washing.

As decorative elements, you should definitely use tubs and buckets, a ladle, the already mentioned oak brooms and aromatic herbs.

The door to the steam room can be made of either wood or high-strength glass.

We leave the choice between these materials up to you. The door should open outward, which will expand the available space.

Recreation room: design options

Functional rooms can also include a relaxation room. This is where you can “step away” a little from the hot steam, chat with friends or relatives, drink a glass of cold beer or a mug of tea.

The classic interior design of this room requires the presence of a table, as well as long benches or armchairs arranged in a circle.

Also in the interior you can provide shelves for tea, aromatic herbs and oils, and other things necessary for going to the bathhouse.

Today, many people equip their recreation room with various modern electronics - TVs, DVD players, plasma panels.

If you intend to install one of these devices, you should take care to protect it as much as possible from moisture and overheating.

It can also be used to maintain normal air temperature.

If you look at the photo of the interior and exterior design of the bathhouse, you will be able to see that mainly wooden lining or ceramic tiles are used for decoration.

The choice of natural materials is not accidental, since only they can provide truly comfortable bathing and communication.

The interior design of a shower room in a bathhouse, which can be built separately or be an integral part of the rest room, is developed using the same finishing materials.

It can contain a regular shower connected to running water or a classic design - a bucket of ice water that tips over when you pull the rope.

Dressing room: a kind of hallway in the bathhouse

In numerous photos of the interior design of the bathhouse, you can see various design options for the dressing room. This is a room where you can undress and prepare for going to the steam room.

Ceramic tiles are also used for its decoration, which do not require complex maintenance. The walls are decorated with clapboards made of natural wood.

In the dressing room, it is imperative to provide a clothes hanger and shelves for shoes, as well as a small cabinet for a wide variety of bath accessories.

What can be placed in the dressing room

The atmospheric interior of a bathhouse, as a rule, can be created with your own hands: the idea of finishing from natural wood was initially laid here - a material that is simple, affordable and quite flexible in terms of finishing. In the bathhouse there are three rooms that need to be decorated - a relaxation room (also known as a dressing room), a steam room (the actual bathhouse or sauna) and a shower room. Let's look at the functionality of the dressing room.

Restroom. Usually made up of a dining room or upholstered furniture, sometimes it includes a kitchenette, a brick fireplace, a beautiful bay window or a sitting area by the window. It is important to understand that the humidity of the steam will penetrate into this room, so it is best to decorate it as practical as possible. Many people prefer to use lining with moisture-resistant impregnation.
Furniture. It must be practical, moisture-resistant, and not susceptible to high air humidity over a long period of time. For example, natural rattan or technorattan are excellent, but furniture made from MDF or chipboard is absolutely not suitable; it is not only impossible to use here, but also dangerous to health (humidity can cause toxic glue to evaporate into the air).
Kitchen. Not all dressing rooms have a kitchen, but placing one here is a fairly popular idea. By the way, with access to the terrace with barbecue, it will be as functional as possible. Usually it is small in size, as well as an area with a bar counter and a decorative buffet.
Storage space. The dressing room may also contain a warehouse of parts necessary for a good rest. Brooms, aromatic oils, scented candles, water for the stove with a certain aroma - all this can be found here.
TV area and fireplace. In addition, part of the recreation room has a fireplace and a TV. Typically, the layout of the dressing room is such that the upholstered furniture is oriented precisely towards these items, so that you can enjoy admiring the fire or watching your favorite TV show.

Swimming pool or plunge pool. They can also be located in the dressing room. In this case, it all depends on the specific layout and chosen style for decorating your bathhouse. The swimming pool is not a mandatory element of the dressing room, because it takes up a lot of space and requires almost the same amount of money to sell as the rest of the bathhouse.

Requirements for washing

The washing room in the bathhouse must be equipped correctly. Particular attention should be paid to:

Ventilation;
Plum;
Carrying out electrical wiring;
Water supply system;

We are talking about the features of arranging a separate room. If the washing room is combined with a steam room, then the list of necessary equipment may differ.

Water supply system

The water supply system in the washing room must operate uninterruptedly. In this case, the resource reserve can be calculated by the number of people who on average visit the bathhouse. This nuance applies to those buildings to which water has to be delivered manually by filling the tank. To simplify the calculations, you can use average values as a basis. In one session, an adult requires about 40 liters, of which 1/4 is hot water. In such washrooms, as a rule, there is only one shower. Even at the construction stage, the foundation of the water supply system is laid and pipes are laid. Heaters use electric or gas or both. In this case, one will be the main one, and the second will become a spare one. If you plan to visit the bathhouse in large groups, then it is better to choose a floor-mounted water heater, since the volume of its tank will be at least 100 liters of water.
