For people living in the post-Soviet space, a bathhouse is not just a place for taking water procedures. This is not even a place, but a unique concept that combines wellness and relaxation with family and friends. Despite the growing popularity of Western trends in the construction of such baths, the tradition of designing a bathhouse in the Russian style has not lost its relevance.
What does a real Russian bath look like? Let's look at its main attributes.
Choosing a bath design
A bathhouse today is not a modest dressing room and steam room, but quite a spacious room with a relaxation room, a steam room and a shower. If there is room for a font, great. Some don’t stop there and build two-story baths with a bedroom on the second floor - the room can be used as a guest house.

When choosing a bathhouse design, preference should be given to a single style - this way the premises will look organic and holistic. In addition to an attractive appearance, the interior of the bathhouse should be safe and comfortable. Traditionally, the interior of the bathhouse is lined with natural wood - clapboard. In this case, those rocks are selected that, when heated, do not release resin and do not overheat. The surface of the finishing material on the floor and wall should not be slippery.

The functionality of the premises depends on the well-organized storage of bath paraphernalia and hygiene products, which also create a special atmosphere in the interior of the bath. Brooms, hats, slippers, soap, aromatherapy oils and other things should be at hand, and at the same time not create chaos.

Correctly selected lighting plays an important role. In the steam room, choose dim, dim light - this allows you to create a relaxing atmosphere. You can use built-in spotlights on a false ceiling or LED lighting. The light spectrum should be soft yellow. It should be taken into account that special requirements are imposed on lamps in the bathhouse - lampshades must be made of heat-resistant and moisture-resistant material. In the rest room, sconce lamps can be placed on the walls.

Selection of accessories
Accessories play no less important role than the external interior of the bathhouse. They are indispensable attributes during bath procedures and complement the aesthetics of the room. Properly selected and stylish little things can create the right atmosphere and make your stay in the bathhouse even more enjoyable.
When choosing them, try to purchase only products that match the style of the room. It is desirable that these are items that can complement the already original interior.
Styles and photos of the best solutions
The design of the bath should not be bright and pretentious; the emphasis is on a calm and even peaceful atmosphere. First of all, to create comfort, the psychological aspect is taken into account: the steam room room, and the bathhouse in general, does not have a large area, so it can have an emotionally overwhelming effect. To prevent this from happening, the design of the premises should be as simple and neutral as possible.

A little brightness can be added to the interior of a modern bathhouse with the help of well-organized lighting and functional decor:
- Hours.
- Thermometer on the wall.
- Pictures.
- Mirrors.
- Venikov.
- Buckets and scoops.
- Textiles.
The design of a sauna and bathhouse differs from the design of residential premises. It doesn’t matter what design style is chosen, the main thing is to ensure functionality and safety. Excessive decor and furnishings are of no use here.

Here are some design options:
- Traditional Russian style involves the use of natural wood finishes. The steam room is equipped with a stove, and in the dressing room they use carved decor and colorful rugs on the floor. In the rest room, the table will be decorated with a tablecloth and a samovar, wicker baskets and boxes. The furniture is very simple - a table and benches with embroidered rugs. It is important that the color of wooden furniture, walls and floors do not match.

- The chalet style is more restrained. If country and Russian style allow for carved decor, here the emphasis is on the feminine or masculine energy of the interior. In the first case, edged weapons on the walls, guns, trophies, and forged decor are used as decor for the rest room, as if hinting that this bathhouse belongs to a hunter. If the hostess is a woman, then the interior is decorated with paintings depicting landscapes, a ceramic tea set, embroidered tablecloths and napkins, wreaths of fragrant herbs and bouquets of dried flowers.
- A bathhouse in a modern style looks simple and elegant. Wood for its finishing should have a smooth surface without emphasis on natural patterns. The equipment is modern. You can install a multifunctional cubicle in the shower. Decorative emphasis is placed on lighting and backlighting. Minimum decor and maximum functionality is the motto of the modern design style.

How to design a dressing room
The dressing room in a bathhouse is the same as the hallway in a house. From the moment you enter, the room should invite you to have a pleasant time and fill you with a positive mood. It is often combined with a rest room. As in other rooms of the bathhouse, there is high humidity here, so the room should be warm and comfortable. This depends on the correctly selected finishing material.

Wood should heat up quickly and release heat slowly. When covering the walls with clapboard (and you can also use coniferous wood in the dressing room), you can inhale an amazing and incomparable woody aroma. It not only disinfects indoor air, but also has a beneficial effect on human health.

Wooden cladding will be appropriate not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling. Using lining you can create a suspended or suspended ceiling. The advantage of the material is the ability to install built-in lighting.
If you want to finish it in the Russian style, you can use decorative panels that imitate rounded logs. The block house creates an original relief on the surface of the wall and the feeling of a real wooden log house.

To decorate the walls in the dressing room, you can use other types of wooden paneling - imitation timber or plank. With their help you can create a more modern look for the room. And in order for the finish to last as long as possible, it is coated with special protective compounds - oil, wax.

The floor in the dressing room, as in other rooms of the bathhouse, should not slip. A rug would be appropriate in the wardrobe (hanger) area. A place for changing clothes should be equipped with a spacious hanger, a bench and a mirror.
Rest room
The dressing room is the first room in which a person enters the bathhouse. This is the coolest and most spacious room; often there is a window in the dressing room.
This room is used for relaxation between “couple sessions”. A table is often set up inside the dressing room, where people gather to drink tea or something stronger and just talk. Sofas, armchairs or benches are installed around the table.
Advice! If there is high humidity in the dressing room, it is better to install wooden furniture. Fabric sofas and chairs can become infected with mold and mildew.
The interior and style of the relaxation room largely depends on the habits and preferences of the bathhouse owners. Here you can put a billiards table, a TV, a refrigerator with a microwave, or even a karaoke system.
An important accessory and irreplaceable part of a relaxation room in a bathhouse is dishes. It is better to choose original cups and plates with folk motifs in the ornament. The central decoration of the table in the bathhouse can be a Russian samovar, bright and colorful.
Materials in the interior of the bath
It is recommended to use exclusively natural materials in the bath - they are harmless, do not release toxins when heated, and are not afraid of moisture and temperature changes. The same cannot be said about plastic.

In addition to natural wood, the following can be used in bath decoration:
- Ceramic tiles.
- A natural stone.
- Glass.
- Brick.
In the steam room, part of the wall can be lined with salt blocks - this is not only beautiful, but also very useful. When heated, minerals release a huge amount of useful substances.
