The dressing room is the face of the bathhouse
Naturally, the fundamental room in the bathhouse is the steam room, since the condition of the bathhouse visitors depends on its functionality, efficiency and safety. But the bath does not end with a stove, steam and a broom, and you can complete the pleasure of the procedures by visiting a comfortable relaxation room. The dressing room usually serves as the main relaxation area.
It may seem to some that it houses only a dressing room, but in fact it can be turned into a spacious room with space for comfortable sofas, armchairs, and a table. Also, a table for brewing tea will fit perfectly into the interior of the dressing room. Later in the article, the process of decorating a dressing room in your own bathhouse will be described in more detail.
Small bath projects
Small baths - convenience or discomfort? What kind of foundation should be at the base of a small room if there is an attic? Answers to these and other questions may be found in this article.
It will not be difficult for any architect or designer to build a bathhouse complex on a large plot of land. But try to build a bathhouse on a small plot, and in such a way that it fits harmoniously into the miniatures of country houses, giving them color. And at the same time, despite all the apparent unsightliness, it was quite roomy on the inside.
To achieve such goals, great skill will be required, both from the designer and the designer. Of course, you can calculate the project yourself. But this requires a special vision in order to arrange the building in such a way that everyone benefits - the owner who received his cherished dream, the designer who made this dream come true, the designer who visually increased the internal volume of the room, and, of course, friends, neighbors and relatives , who received unlimited access to the most amazing and healthy treatments.
The compactness of small bathhouse buildings has a number of special advantages over large buildings. Firstly, they are very economical. Warming up a small room occurs much faster and with much less firewood, with significant savings in energy resources. Secondly, the cost of building materials is relatively low. Thirdly, the construction of a small garden bathhouse does not take much time.
Speaking about the small rooms of country baths, an allowance should be made for the fact that these are modern, not devoid of comfort premises, built according to the latest construction science, using building materials and equipment of the highest quality for a small but very cozy bath. The room can be built from profiled or laminated timber according to a simple design of a one-story house with a built-in bathhouse. You can modify the finished project and convert the attic space into living space. Bring a staircase to the attic from the outside of the house and add a small balcony. You can also build a small bathhouse using Canadian technology, with the construction of a frame-panel structure of a wooden bathhouse.
Small buildings have a special grace, despite the fact that it is a fully functioning structure. The most spacious room among small bathhouses is the project with a small guest house, measuring 5x4.5 m. The charm of a wooden structure can only be emphasized by placing it on the shore of a reservoir or a small pool, if the size of the garden plot allows. The layout is so successful that the outwardly small structure, more reminiscent of a dollhouse, has a fairly spacious interior space, including three main compartments - a steam room, a sink and a dressing room.
For the design of this bathhouse from well-dried profiled timber, it is possible to make an addition in the form of an attic floor, where an additional recreation room will be comfortably located. It is also possible to build from laminated veneer lumber, which does not at all affect the quality of the bathhouse as a whole. The erected structure exhibits minimal shrinkage, no more than 1%, which allows it to be put into operation immediately after construction work.
Typical ready-made projects of small baths are very popular. These include the development of rooms with dimensions of 3x4, 3x6, 4x4 and 4.5x5 meters.
Project 3x4
The most inexpensive and very popular option for suburban construction, designed for very small summer cottages. The premises are erected using the fastest method - no more than 3-4 days. The project reflected all the main rooms - a steam room, a washing room and a relaxation room. The stove is fired from the rest room, and a shower unit with a tray can be installed in the washing compartment.
Possessing modest dimensions, only 3x4 meters, the project of such a small building contains quite spacious rooms, thanks to the detailed layout of the rooms:
- the dimensions of the steam compartment are 2.0 x 2.0 meters, and allow two people to steam at the same time, with fairly comfortable movement;
- a small shower room with dimensions of 1.0x2.0 meters and a window of 0.5x0.5 m;
- a spacious, cozy lounge room, measuring 2.0 x 3.0 m, with double frames on two windows, measuring 0.7 x 0.7 m each.
And when adding an open terrace or glazed veranda, such a little thing will allow you to get a very comfortable rest with steam treatments, fragrant tea and intimate conversation.
The 3x4 bathhouse design is no different from its larger relatives in terms of the principle of insulation and the creation of a “thermos effect” in the steam room. The estimate includes the use of all modern insulation and insulation materials used in bathhouse construction. The interior spaces are also lined with wooden clapboards made from aspen, and the building timber is made from coniferous trees - pine or larch.
The stoves produced today are gas and solid fuel. Their sizes are also varied. The stove in the bathhouse is set to the taste and preference of the owner. The body of the stove is located in the steam room, and the firebox is located in the dressing room, from where firewood is stored. The 3x4 bathhouse project has a distinctive feature - it can be adjusted, since all rooms are standard blocks that can be manipulated.

Project 3x6
It consists of three standard rooms with the same size of 2.0x3.0 meters, located one behind the other, like tram cars. Each compartment, including the steam room, has a window that is included in the ventilation system. The windows are two-chamber, with dimensions of 1.0x1.0 m. An additional window opening, measuring 0.5x1.0 m, located horizontally, has been added in the recreation room. In the main department, the window dimensions are 09.7 x 0.7 m. The project can be equipped with a large spacious terrace and at the same time obtain an additional recreation area, if, of course, the size of the summer cottage allows.
The construction material is profiled or laminated timber. Construction time is no more than 9 days. The two-layer heated floor and gable roof are made of larch. Ondulin was used as a roofing material.
Project 4x4
It is represented by a structure consisting of three full-fledged departments. The lounge room is quite spacious despite its modest dimensions of 2.0 x 4.0 meters. It is equipped with two window openings with built-in double-glazed windows of 0.7x0.7 m. The parameters of the steam compartment and sink are identical, and amount to 2.0x2.0 m, which implies the simultaneous placement of several people in them. The washing compartment can be equipped with a shower unit with a tray, which will improve its functionality. There is only one window opening - 0.5x0.5 m, but for such a room this is a fairly acceptable window size. The doors, according to the project, are paneled or framed, covered with wooden lining. If desired, you can redesign the location of windows and doors. The ceiling height is standard and is 2.0 meters.
The construction plans do not provide for a swimming pool, but you can build one yourself if there is sufficient area of the site, or place the bathhouse near a natural water source.
Main advantages
The 4x4 m project is the most practical, convenient and cozy of the entire variety of standard designs of wooden bath structures. Construction time under appropriate weather conditions allows it to be built within a week. The basic package includes a columnar foundation, but depending on the composition of the soil, the project can be applied to either a strip foundation if the soils are clayey or loamy, or a pile or pile-screw foundation for heaving sandy and sandy loam soils. Redevelopment of internal premises is also permissible.
The stove can be used at the discretion of the owner of any modification produced by modern industry, but it is not included in the basic package.

Project 4.5x5.0
The most original form of the bathhouse building with a large open terrace, dimensions 1.5x4.0 m, included in the parameters of the bathhouse. This small bathhouse not only has a charming appearance, but also a successful layout of three spacious rooms and a terrace located along the entire structure.
The entrance to the bathhouse is a porch, opposite which is the entrance door leading to the bathhouse. The useful area of the terrace is completely isolated from visitors entering and leaving the premises. Behind the door there is a spacious, 2.0x4.0 m living room with two large windows, one of which opens onto the terrace. The inner door from the relaxation room leads to the wash bay, and the next doorway leads to the steam room. The washing and steam rooms have the same parameters, 2.0 x 2.0 meters. The washing room, also known as the shower room, if you install a shower unit with a tray in it, has a small window.
The 4.5x5.0 bathhouse project is being built from both laminated veneer lumber and well-dried profiled timber.
Functional purpose of the dressing room
The main functional purpose of the dressing room is to protect the steam compartment from the penetration of cold air masses into it. However, today the bathhouse is not just useful procedures, but also one of the best ways to spend time.
Accordingly, the arrangement of the dressing room should be aimed at expanding functionality: comfortable seats for relaxation, a table for several people, and what is most needed is an area for brewing delicious tea, which will complement the positive sensations from the procedures performed.
The locker room can be designed either in an open type or in the form of comfortable lockers in which several visitors can place their belongings at once. A chest of drawers can be installed nearby for various accessories and personal items.
You can create light in the dressing room using electric lighting devices, but nothing can be better than natural sunlight. Accordingly, the most extensive windows will be very useful and effective in increasing the level of illumination inside the dressing room.
But it is worth remembering that windows are one of the main structural elements that cause heat leakage from the dressing room and the bathhouse as a whole. It would be wisest to use double-glazed windows that meet all the required criteria for quality windows. But a double wooden frame will cope with the protection of the dressing room no worse.
It is important to take into account the thermal insulation of the room, as this will help balance the temperature difference between the steam room and the dressing room. If you plan to use the bathhouse all year round, you can install an electric fireplace in the dressing room. If the room has sufficient space, you can additionally install a massage table or a large soft sofa in it.
Bathhouse interior: ideas for decor and comfort
“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 take a dip in cold water are not everything. The interior design of the steam room is of no small importance for comfort. With a little effort and giving free rein to your imagination, you will create a bright and cozy bathhouse interior!
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 - perhaps the best thing is lining with embossing, which imitates various types of decorative coverings: snakeskin 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. An interesting idea for this style of bathhouse is 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 be created by the design of the sink in a beautiful 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 decorate them with large shells instead of traditional faucets.
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 - in the dressing room.
Decorative stucco elements will add charm to the wooden walls inside the dressing room or rest room. You can make a high-quality imitation of brickwork, three-dimensional figurines of animals and plants with your own hands, using a special mixture consisting of plasticizers and fiberglass. On FORUMHOUSE you can read in detail about graphite technology.
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 made of natural materials - wooden, in the style of a country 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 with a lamp are also a 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 a steam room - this is a good solution 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 “warm” natural materials you can make a wide variety of decor that would be appropriate in a bathhouse and sauna: boxes woven from grass, reed, rattan, fern, 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, and relieves inflammation. 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 interior of a bathhouse or sauna will be made more soulful by items made of wool: 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!
On FORUMHOUSE you will find ideas from our portal participants that will help you create the interior decor of a bathhouse with your own hands. You can also find out what a real bathhouse looks like: get acquainted with a virtual tour of one of the outstanding bathhouses in Moscow in the Russian style and its environs and invaluable material on the theory of the Russian steam bath. And in our video you will find more ideas for decorating baths and saunas.
Features of the interior design of the dressing room
Decorating the interior of a dressing room in a bathhouse does not require any frills if we are talking about a chopped wooden bathhouse (read: “Chopped bathhouse - construction rules with examples”). The main task when finishing a log house from the inside is its thermal insulation and the treatment of wood with various impregnating compounds that extend the maximum service life of the material. If we are talking about finishing old buildings, brick buildings, etc., then the dressing room needs to not only be improved functionally, but also its decorative design needs to be updated.
It is worth saying that the amount of materials used in finishing the dressing room is limited due to the high humidity inside the bathhouse. However, this does not prevent you from creating a high-quality design for the dressing room, which will look original in the photo and upon visual inspection.
The wealth of color and texture solutions will allow you to easily create a design in the dressing room that matches any modern or classic style. You can choose the most harmonious combination of colors, or vice versa, use the method of contrasts. Also, the design of the dressing room can be improved with decorative elements and accessories familiar to residential premises.
Cool photos in the bathhouse
Photos about a bathhouse are more attractive if they are funny and have girls or girls in them. As they say, cool girls have fun, you!

Polyvinyl chloride wall panels for dressing room decoration
PVC is one of the most practical and cheapest materials, sold in a wide color palette, which allows you to decorate a beautiful dressing room with a certain style at minimal cost. Another advantage of this material is its ease of installation. The work of installing it is within the capabilities of every person with a basic set of construction skills.
Such panels can be mounted on smooth wooden walls without the use of a special frame. The work uses specialized fittings and guides that hide the joints between the panels. The material is cut to the required size using a sharply sharpened construction knife.
It is only worth noting that, like any plastic material, it cannot be mounted on heated walls separating the dressing room from the steam room.
What is rubber paint
This material was introduced to the construction market relatively recently, but has already gained high popularity. This paint and varnish material is universal and can be applied to almost any surface in rooms with high humidity conditions. When the paint hardens, an elastic layer is formed that is resistant to stress, cracking and peeling during use.
No preliminary work is required to prepare the coating for applying rubber paint. You can limit yourself to only the simplest leveling of defects and cleaning from dust, dirt, stains, etc. If necessary, the surface should be strengthened with special deep penetration compounds.
You can apply rubber paint just like regular paint, using a paint brush or roller. Spacious rooms can be easily processed using a spray gun (paint gun).
Facing block house in the dressing room
A block house is a type of lining that imitates the texture of a log wall. The material shows its best qualities in spacious rooms. The most effective decor of the waiting room becomes proportional to the increase in the radius of its curvature. The width of one panel can be from 90 to 260 centimeters.
When installing the material, it is necessary to take into account that the block house is attached to the sheathing. During installation, it is necessary to take into account that the total thickness of the structure will collectively take the value of the thickness of the sheathing beams and the panels themselves (1.3-5 centimeters).
The disadvantage of the material is that the panels are difficult to join in the corners of the dressing room. It is necessary to adjust the parts for laying them in this part of the room using a jigsaw. Cutting panels at an angle of 45 degrees is an accessible technology, but not always advisable. It is best to entrust this work to professionals, since without experience it is almost impossible to join panels in the corners of the room.
The main difficulties arise when installing elements of the electrical system of the room, such as sockets and switches. It is inconvenient to treat those areas of the room where the panels meet window and door blocks.
When installing electrical wiring, it is allowed to lay it in an open way. The electrical wire to the block house can be secured with metal brackets or laid in a cable channel.
Small bathhouse projects: advantages and disadvantages
Such projects have the following advantages:
- compactness. Small baths can easily fit even in a small area;
- quick kindling. Due to its small size, the steam room heats up quickly, so less firewood or other fuel will be needed;
- ease of construction. It’s easier to build a small bathhouse with your own hands; in addition, construction will take less time;
- the possibility of building a bathhouse on a lightweight foundation;
- saving. For construction and finishing you will need less material.
The disadvantage is the small capacity of the bath. Large groups may not fit in, so you will have to take turns visiting the steam room.
But you shouldn’t think that small bathhouse projects for a summer residence are exclusively budget options. You can also make a luxurious bathhouse with a swimming pool, even if it is small in size.
Lining is the most popular finishing material
This material has proven itself to be the best, since there are three main categories A, B and C, which leads to a wide price range. Accordingly, each owner will be able to choose the optimal material for himself. The lining is laid horizontally, which provides maximum moisture protection, preventing liquid from penetrating into the joints between the boards.
The lining is made from natural wood of various species. The thickness of one board can reach from 1.1 to 2.2 centimeters. The most popular options for covering a dressing room are those with a thickness of 1.4 and 1.6 centimeters. The lining can be installed on a flat base without sheathing. If there is a high level of humidity in the elevations, then lathing is required. The step between vertical slats should be from 0.6 to 1 meter.
The board of the material has a special groove and tenon, which allows installation of the flooring very simply and with the maximum level of joining of the boards. The highest quality type of material is eurolining, manufactured according to European standards. Special milling channels are applied to the back side of the boards, which allow the floors to be effectively ventilated from moisture.
Types of wood used in finishing the dressing room
Naturally, the most common and best-studied material for finishing dressing rooms is wood. There are a large number of its types, which are selected taking into account the positive characteristics and characteristics of each breed.
Today, the following types of wood materials can be selected on the construction market:
- Oak _ The same type of wood that meets the basic operational requirements. It is characterized by the following positive qualities: high mechanical strength, water resistance and the longest service life. Oak wood releases phytoncides, beneficial substances for the human body. From the medical side of the issue, oak is useful in that its smell leads to a decrease in blood pressure and tones the blood vessels of the brain.
- Abash . This is African deciduous wood, characterized by low heat capacity, solid structure and low weight. When used, abashe wood retains its appearance for a very long time. There are no knots on the surface, which makes it possible to avoid processing the material before installation. This wood has no healing properties.
- Canadian cedar . An interesting type of wood with high humidity, resistance to temperature changes and fire resistance. The strength of the material is high and during operation it does not lose its positive qualities. Heating Canadian cedar releases essential oils with beneficial antibacterial properties. These substances have a particularly good effect on the immune system and for eliminating diseases of the respiratory system.
- Linden . Boards made from this species are distinguished by their very beautiful texture and color, as well as a high degree of moisture and sound absorption. It is very simple to process linden boards, and in extreme temperature and humidity conditions they do not change the level of their technical characteristics at all. In addition to the pleasant smell, linden wood releases beneficial substances into the air that have a positive effect on the functioning of the nervous system. People staying in dressing rooms lined with linden wood experience a general uplift in mood, a surge of vitality, etc.
- Aspen . The main distinguishing feature of aspen lining is its absolute moisture resistance and increased strength of monolithic boards. Under mechanical load, aspen products do not deform; they can be easily processed and installed. In its pure form, wood may lose its color during use, but special processing agents will help quickly return the coating to pleasant light colors with a greenish tint. Aspen has approximately the same effect on the human body as linden.
- Larch . The strength of lining made from such wood exceeds the values characteristic of oak and pine, which makes its processing extremely difficult. The service life of such wood can reach a whole century, and as a bonus to all technical qualities, the aesthetic appearance of honey-colored boards is added. Inhaling the substances released by such wood is considered an excellent prevention of any colds. It also has a positive effect on people suffering from hypertension.
- Pine . One of the most durable types of wood, which in its main characteristics is comparable to oak. It is worth highlighting its main drawback, which is the release of resins when heated. The heated resin itself can cause burns upon contact with the human body. It is best to cover with pine boards only those areas of the dressing room that would be difficult for a person to reach. The substances released by coniferous trees have bactericidal properties and are very useful in the fight against various respiratory diseases. Essential oils are also released that increase the overall level of protective properties of the immune system, etc.
Bottom line
The article describes in detail the main features and nuances of how to decorate a dressing room on your own. If you follow the finishing recommendations and use high-quality materials, you can get a cozy place in which the effectiveness of the adopted bath procedures will only increase.
All installation work can be entrusted to specialists who will take responsibility for all stages - from the purchase of necessary materials (at the customer’s request) to their installation and commissioning of the waiting room.
Dressing room finishing
Finishing material
For a real Russian person, there is nothing better than wooden decoration, both in the bathhouse itself and in the dressing room. That is why wooden baths are so popular in our country. In addition, a bathhouse without the smell of wood, wooden benches and floorboards will seem uncozy and even alien to many. Therefore, even the owners of brick baths, instead of plaster and tiles, try to cover their walls and ceilings with clapboard. For finishing a steam room, lining made of coniferous species is suitable: pine, spruce, fir. And there is no need to be afraid that resin will ooze out of it; the temperature in the dressing room is usually comfortable enough to stay in, but it is not enough to “melt” the resin. The wood of these species has a pleasant smell and is even beneficial for human health. Birch can be used from deciduous trees. And if you want to surprise your guests, then you can use noble oak to decorate the dressing room.

Furniture
The main furniture elements are, first of all, a strong bench, a table and a clothes hanger. These are, so to speak, the essentials in the dressing room. But to increase comfort, the bench can be replaced with a soft sofa upholstered in thick fabric. If you have enough space, you can buy a pair of wicker rocking chairs, and if you have extra funds, why not buy a massage chair in addition. Everything is done with an eye on the chosen interior style.

Lighting
No bright sources or exposed light bulbs, although for a truly rustic style, a light bulb screwed into a wall socket will be the ideal solution. But a modern bathhouse should still provide comfort and encourage relaxation. Therefore, the lighting should be soft and at the same time quite sufficient. Since the dressing room is a less humid place, all types of lamps can be installed here.
By the way, it is strictly forbidden to use switches and sockets inside the washing room and steam room; all these electrical sources are placed in the dressing room.
Dressing room design photo
Traditional dressing room lighting is either a chandelier with a fabric or frosted glass shade or a pair of wall lights. And sometimes both together, if the waiting room is large. It is worth saying that such lamps can have lampshades made of wood that are traditional for a bath complex, as well as very original ones, as in the photo above.
