Can a small bathroom be separated into dry and wet areas? How to separate dry and wet areas in a small bathroom?

We all know that the bathroom is an important place in the home, and it is also a place that takes a lot of thought to decorate. Bathrooms of different sizes and patterns will have different decoration design methods. Some families have small bathrooms, but still want to separate wet and dry areas. So how to separate wet and dry areas in a small bathroom? Let's take a closer look!

How to separate wet and dry areas in a small bathroom

If you must separate the wet and dry areas and have made sure that it will not cause damage to the network cables, lines, and circuits in the bathroom, we can start with the following two methods:

1. Floor-length shower curtain to separate wet and dry areas in small bathrooms

Why use this floor-length shower curtain?

It can form a flexible space to protect the water from dripping onto the area outside the shower area when you are showering. This type is transparent or opaque, and is made of water-repellent materials. The biggest advantage is that after you shower, the shower curtain can be put away, which is more conducive to the control and separation of the space.

If you have a small bathroom, you hope to separate wet and dry areas in a small space, so that your living space feels bigger and the space utilization rate is much higher. This is the biggest advantage of using a floor-standing shower curtain to separate wet and dry areas.

Disadvantages: There are always some splashes outside the bathing area. After all, it is a flexible material, and it is impossible to achieve 100% complete separation;

Features: extremely low cost, does not take up space, can be folded up.

Second, the corner sliding shower room can separate wet and dry areas in the small bathroom

A shower room with a quarter rounded corner is the best way to achieve dry and wet separation in a small bathroom.

Why is the shower room a quarter-round corner?

Because it fully utilizes the space of the small bathroom and the corner of the wall, and the shower room is equipped with a retractable arc door. In this way, the space occupied is the corner of the shower, the corner against the wall. This space was originally idle, and it is just right for the shower room to separate dry and wet areas!

It does not take up other space. You rarely use the shower area, right? And it occupies less than one square meter of space, and it can achieve a good dry and wet separation. These are the two best ways to achieve dry and wet separation in a small bathroom!

Disadvantages: high cost and needs to be customized;

Advantages: Complete separation of dry and wet areas, high space utilization.

In summary, to achieve dry and wet separation in a small bathroom, you must pay attention to two points:

1. If the total area of ​​the bathroom is less than 3 square meters, don't force it;

2. It will not affect the structure inside the wall, and will not affect the pipes, lines, circuits, and pipes inside the wall. This is the basic principle;

After the above two conditions are met:

PVC transparent shower curtain is the lowest cost solution to achieve dry and wet separation in small bathrooms;

A shower room with a quarter rounded corner is the best solution to achieve dry and wet separation in a small bathroom.

How to separate wet and dry areas in a small bathroom

1. Make a reasonable structural layout change according to your or your family's usage habits and arrange the movement line

Build walls to separate the wet and dry areas. The washing area (dry area) is at the entrance, followed by the toilet and shower area (wet area). Placing the washing area relatively outside is the first choice for most people, hoping to cultivate better hygiene habits such as "washing hands frequently". At the same time, the more private toilet and shower areas are blocked by curtains, and the glass partition of the shower area adds another type of partition. It can be said that two-and-a-half-type dry-wet separation is achieved.

2. Tile selection

Tiles for small spaces should also be paved with small-sized tiles, and "dark bathrooms" also need to spend some time on choosing the color of the tiles. Bright or contrasting tiles can achieve a brightening effect in small bathrooms.

3. Increase storage functions in all directions

Basin cabinets have been widely used in many families due to their good storage performance and small area. However, the lack of variability makes subsequent maintenance difficult. At this time, choosing a large basin in a convenient position and adding a storage mirror cabinet can basically meet daily needs.

Strongly recommended: Do not drill holes in the wall to fix hardware too early. Drilling holes in the wall is extremely destructive to the wall surface.

4. Strengthen the dehumidification and water permeability function in wet areas

The most terrible thing about wet areas is water accumulation or wetness. The drain of the shower area in a small bathroom should be made as large and wide as possible to enhance the drainage effect. In addition, a fan-heated bathroom heater should be installed on the ceiling. In addition to providing the basic functions of hot air, cold air or ventilation, it can also increase the light source. At the same time, in addition to providing heating and cooling, the bathroom heater can also accelerate the evaporation of water vapor to a certain extent to avoid the accumulation of water stains in wet areas.

When is it not suitable to separate wet and dry areas in a small bathroom?

To achieve wet separation in the bathroom, some conditions must be met. If the conditions are not met, it will be counterproductive if you force it. There are two major points to note when separating wet and dry areas:

1. The bathroom is less than 3 square meters and is not suitable for dry and wet separation;

There is a hard condition. If the bathroom space is not large, you can separate the wet and dry areas. In this way, you need a toilet, a bathroom cabinet, a bucket, and other sundries. Think about it, such a bathroom is too crowded and not suitable at all. Forget it.

Do you want to see an extremely crowded and messy bathroom every day!

2. It is recommended to be cautious when the bathroom walls do not bear weight, or when there are networks, circuits, water lines, or pipes inside the walls.

In the bathroom, some places are not suitable for drastic changes. Some places have pipes, and some places still have wires. Forced construction will affect the structure of the house, or damage the wires and cause leakage, and damage the pipeline network. At that time, the gains will outweigh the losses. If the rigid conditions are not met, it is not necessary to separate the wet and dry areas.
