Sofa for a bath in the relaxation room

Baths can be different. Some people make a simple small bathhouse, while others build a large building with many rooms. If a steam room, a washing room and a rest room (vestibule) are mandatory in any bathhouse, then other rooms are at the discretion of the owner.

Among the additional amenities in the bathhouse that can take your relaxation to a new level is a kitchen.

Bathhouse projects with a kitchen and a room are popular, because at low costs they make it possible to get a full-fledged place to relax, where you can relax in the fresh air, go to the bathhouse and have a picnic.

Requirements for furniture for baths and saunas

Any country furniture is used in difficult conditions. Therefore, the requirements for it are higher than for interior items for city apartments.

However, for furniture in a bathhouse or sauna, as you understand, the requirements are the highest. After all, it is always very humid here, there is a lot of steam and large temperature changes.

Not all materials from which country furniture is made can cope with such operating conditions.

What are the basic requirements for furniture for baths and saunas?

Protection against fungus and mold.

Resistant to large temperature changes.

Environmentally friendly - furniture should not emit harmful substances when heated.

Only reliable fasteners without chemicals - furniture should be fastened with nails or screws or soldered, like artificial rattan. Chemical fasteners (glue, liquid nails, etc.) release harmful substances when heated.

Furniture for steam rooms must be resistant to steam.

Furniture should be well ventilated, especially wardrobes.

Stage 2. Heating and communications

A bathhouse will not be a bathhouse if it does not have sources of heat and water. Yes, and you can’t do without electricity and a wastewater disposal system. All this is necessary in the kitchen.

Bake

Choosing a sauna stove is a very important point. It is influenced by many factors:

The source of thermal energy is wood, gas or electricity;
Availability of other rooms that need to be heated;
Your financial and technical capabilities.

A wood-burning stove can become a link between the kitchen and the steam room. It will simultaneously heat the steam room and serve as a stove for cooking. And if you have a bathhouse with a kitchen and a bedroom on the attic floor, the latter will be heated from a chimney passing through the bedroom to the roof.

Example of a multifunctional sauna stove

But you can install a stove only for a bathhouse, and heat the rest of the rooms, including the kitchen, in a different way - with air heaters, a heated floor system, etc. In the case of an electric sauna or a metal “potbelly stove” instead of a heater, this is a completely acceptable solution.

Network engineering

If the bath complex is operated only in the warm season, there will be no problems with providing it with water, provided it is available near a source. It's a completely different matter when it is used for its intended purpose all year round.

A full-fledged kitchen and bathroom included in the complex also dictate special requirements for the installation of a wastewater disposal system.

Even a non-specialist can make wiring for water supply and drainage from plastic pipes. It is much more difficult to ensure its performance in winter.

Instructions for water supply to premises that are not constantly in use may be different. The most commonly used solutions are:

Draining the water from the system after each visit to the bathhouse in winter . Why is a drain valve installed at the very bottom of the wiring? However, in severe frosts, even a small amount of water remaining in taps and mixers can burst them when they freeze. Therefore, it is advisable to provide a method for purging the system.

Scheme of water supply for a bathhouse with draining water from the system

Insulation and heating of pipes . To prevent the liquid in the pipeline from freezing, the main line from the water supply source is laid below the freezing level of the soil. All pipes located above this level, including internal wiring, are installed with electrical heating using a special heating cable. It automatically maintains the water temperature in the system at a given level.

Water supply diagram with heating cable

Constant heating of the bath complex . It is enough to maintain a positive temperature in the bathhouse so that the water in the system does not freeze.

The last two options require a constant power supply. With frequent power outages, there is a risk of freezing the water supply. In addition, the price of electricity is now quite high, which makes the use of these circuits unprofitable when the bathhouse is used infrequently.

As for sewerage, if you have a kitchen, a simple drain pit made from car tires is not enough. The fat and food waste contained in the drains will quickly clog the soil and interfere with natural filtration.

Therefore, it is better to direct the wastewater from a bathhouse with a kitchen into a centralized sewer system or consider a system with an autonomous septic tank.

Autonomous sewerage scheme

Another important point is room ventilation. To prevent odors from the kitchen from penetrating into the steam room, and to prevent moisture from stagnating in the washing compartment, it is necessary to provide for a natural or forced ventilation system in the design in advance.

Furniture from what materials cannot be placed in a bathhouse or sauna

Plastic

. At high temperatures, the plastic heats up and begins to release harmful substances. And as we know, a steamed human body absorbs all bath odors. So such a bathhouse can backfire.

Metal

. Metal oxidizes under the influence of steam, humidity and high temperatures. Even a special anti-corrosion coating will not save you here. Under the influence of steam it will quickly come off the surface.

Painted or varnished furniture

. Again, under the influence of steam, high humidity and temperature changes, paint and varnish will come off the furniture very quickly. It is permissible to use such furniture only in recreation rooms.

Wicker furniture made from rattan or other natural materials

. No matter how beautiful such furniture looks in a country interior and no matter how it suits your style, temperature changes and high humidity are certain death for such interior items. In this case, it is better to replace it with moisture-resistant artificial rattan furniture.

Expert opinion

Mikhailova Maria Vasilievna

Massive furniture made of dense materials ,
which is poorly ventilated
inside . Mold and mildew easily form in such furniture. And for things that will be stored here, this is not the best option.

FAQ

Is it possible to put ordinary upholstered furniture in the relaxation room in the bathhouse?

Despite the fact that there is no such high humidity as in a steam room, the room cannot be called dry. For this reason, it is best to use wooden furniture here, and equip it with pillows for comfortable seating.

What material is best to choose headrests and footrests for a bath?

Like other furniture, these products must be made of wood. To make the headrest comfortable, you just need to put a towel on it.

Is it possible to use only shelves in a steam room and not install additional benches?

Yes, if the space of the room does not allow. In this case, you can simply bring a wooden stool for the basin.

What material is best to choose basins and buckets for a bath?

The best option is wood. The metal heats up quickly, so it is easy to get burned on it.

How to find out whether bath furniture meets the specified requirements or not?

To do this, you need to check quality certificates. Only they guarantee the safety of using products.

Features of bath furniture, popular models and recommendations

A sauna or steam bath has a beneficial effect on the body. This is a place where you can relax and unwind for the benefit of your body.

Furniture for a bathhouse has characteristic features, including the correct choice of material for a longer service life. To select items for the bathhouse, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the nuances of their manufacture and design features.

Stylistic design

Bath furniture is designed in the following styles:

Classical

This furniture has a strict design and clear lines. The items are not luxurious, but provide comfort to the premises. However, they cannot be called cheap. They look elegant and sophisticated. To make furniture, smooth boards of the same dimensions are used.

Antique

They are massive interior items with rounded backs, edges, and unusual cutouts. Products are artificially aged to give the desired look.

Peculiarities

The main difference between bath furniture and what we use in apartments is its moisture resistance. In conditions of high humidity and temperature, it should last a long time. Another important nuance is that the furniture is in direct contact with human skin. Environmental friendliness is the main criterion for selecting items for a bathhouse.

For relaxation in the bathhouse, an original Russian way of restoring strength, various types of furniture were invented; they will be discussed in the next section. It is worth highlighting the main requirements for the material:

High density;
Easy processing - sawing, grinding, trimming;
Safety for humans;
Low thermal conductivity – furniture should not heat up;
Small amount of resins in the composition.

All of the listed characteristics indicate that the best furniture material for a bathhouse is wood of various species. It is worth noting that varnishes, paints and adhesives are not used in production. This is due to constant humidity conditions in the room, which causes the coating to swell and gradually peel off.

The healing properties of the bathhouse have been known since Ancient Rus', so there should be no objects harmful to the body in the room. In addition to the cleansing properties of steam passing over the skin, a person absorbs the smell of the materials from which the furniture is made.

Traditionally, a relaxation room is designed in bath complexes - this is a place where people can relax in a calm environment, without hot steam. Some rooms require furniture on which a person can sit and have a snack.

The requirements for the coating in this case are different: they must also be moisture resistant, although they can have a varnish coating, since there is no constant exposure to steam.

Bath furniture can be made in various stylistic directions, let’s consider the most popular of them:

Classic style - characterized by straight lines, rigor and practicality. There is no room for luxury here - all items are made discreetly and at the same time cozy. Steam rooms in spas are often equipped in this style;
Antique sauna furniture is a common option for a free-standing sauna. Entering the room, you get the feeling of a fairy tale. All items are made in an antique style - they have rounded backs, fancy cutouts, and an aging effect.

To arrange a home bath or sauna, you can limit yourself to the classic style - it is inexpensive, and the items can be made with your own hands. If you plan to design a bathhouse for commercial purposes, choose an old style for bathhouses; visitors will appreciate it.

Design

If you want to create a country style in your bathhouse, then you can and should use antique furniture. To give the headset the solidity of its age, simply clean it of the old coating. After this, it is worth covering the “cleaned” furniture with paint or glaze. Using a sponge, we randomly remove a layer of paint to create a worn-out feeling.

After all the above steps, we coat the set with varnish to protect it from external influences.

To create a “original Russian bathhouse,” use linden. Choose tables with carved stands, make the chairs wicker.

Add some design flair: scatter some elements around the bathhouse area in the form of birch brooms for the steam room and bunches of dry herbs.

The minimalist style is currently at the peak of popularity. Wooden furniture and a minimal number of accessories will give the bath an ascetic style. This design is well suited for small baths, because with a minimal amount of furniture, the space will visually expand.

Varieties

To decorate your steam room and dressing room colorfully and elegantly, you should pay attention to the types of furniture that are most often used for furnishing. The photo below shows the most popular models and accessories for bathing.

Which materials are better

The requirements for materials for furniture have already been indicated in the first section of the article. Therefore, it is worth highlighting those raw materials that are considered unacceptable for arranging a sauna:

Plastic – when heated, it releases harmful substances into the atmosphere;
Metal – under constant exposure to moisture, corrosion occurs and rust appears;
Leatherette – not suitable due to constant exposure to wet human skin.

The best material option is natural wood. For the dressing room, you can use chipboard or MDF, from which countertops and cabinet door fronts are made.

With a wide variety of wood species, not all of them are completely suitable for making bath furniture. When choosing a material, it is worth considering its characteristics.

If the choice fell on coniferous species, it is worth taking a closer look at Canadian cedar - it emits less resin than its coniferous counterparts, and at the same time has a beautiful texture. Let's consider the main tree species, their colors and features in order to choose the material for furniture in the bathhouse.

Breed	Colors	pros	Minuses
Pine	Light shades: cream, yellow, sand	Pine contains a large amount of resin, which makes it moisture resistant. When resins are released, the surface of the tree is covered with a protective coating. When cutting this coniferous log house, you can see beautiful curved patterns that will be appropriate on any bathhouse furniture.	Do not use pine for a steam room: when exposed to high temperatures, the tree releases a lot of resin, which causes skin burns.
Spruce	White Red	Quick and easy processing is the main advantage of this breed. On a cut of spruce you can find a large number of fancy rings and patterns. Spruce has an affordable price.	The presence of knots and a tendency to rot will not allow items to be installed in a washroom or steam room. The material is great for a rest room.
Larch	Yellow	Larch is protected from the negative effects of ambient temperature. It has a beautiful pattern and high density.	The wood of this species is heavy and difficult to process, so larch furniture will be expensive.
Oak	Rich palette from light gray to brown shades	The tree is resistant to aggressive environments, it has an unusual texture and color variations. Oak has high strength, so furniture made from it is strong.	The complexity of processing increases the cost of products; in addition, oak is too massive. It is optimally used for dressing room furniture.
Ash	White or olive	It has high wear resistance, does not crack, and is flexible. Its structure allows you to create furniture from log houses with a pattern.	Not resistant to temperature changes and high humidity
Poplar	Sand	It is light in weight and easy to handle.	It rots quickly.
Aspen	Yellow	The breed is moisture-resistant, but large furniture cannot be made from it - it will quickly become unusable. Aspen is ideal for tubs and basins.	Over time, furniture greatly changes color to dark shades.
Linden	Beige	Bath furniture made from linden has a pleasant smell. Linden is resistant to moisture and can be processed well.	It is considered the most suitable breed for bath furniture.

Having studied the information, it is worth concluding that furniture made from linden wood is the most suitable for a sauna. It is distinguished by a healing linden scent, which, combined with high temperatures, has a beneficial effect on the human body, giving freshness and youth to the skin. Photos of linden furniture are presented below.

How to make sun loungers in a steam room

It’s hard to imagine a good rest in a steam room without a sun lounger. To design it, you need to know certain rules, otherwise it simply will not withstand the harsh microclimate. Making a lounger in your own steam room is as easy as shelling pears. If you have at least some knowledge of household tools, you can easily cope with this task.

Select the wood for the boards. Boards made of birch, aspen and linden are ideal. Conifers will release resin when heated, so set them aside immediately.

Decide in advance on the size of the lounger and the number of racks. For four racks you will need eight beams, the height of which will be 100 cm. The length of the lounger should be at least 180 cm.

From the bars, make sections that need to be used to fasten the bars of the racks across.

Take the beams and assemble a frame from several racks. Secure them together with pieces of the same timber. Later you will attach the shelf boards to it. It is recommended to make the frame at an angle so that water can drain freely from it. This way, the lounger will dry faster.

If the steam room allows, build sun loungers in two or three tiers. The gap between them should be at least 30 cm. In this case, the width of the sunbed should be at least 60 cm. Remember that the gap between the floor and the ceiling should not be less than 1 m.

Otherwise, you will have to build much smaller sunbeds.

Build the frame frame. To do this, gradually stuff shelf boards onto the frame. Be sure to leave a 1 cm wide gap between them. This will create good ventilation and the boards will dry much faster. For easier cleaning and faster drying of the steam room, make the last tier in the form of a bench.

This will also create additional convenience for guests. When you attach the boards to the frame, use (oak if possible) wood pegs. At elevated temperatures they will not burn the body. If you do not have wooden pins, you can replace them with metal screws, which must be screwed from below, through the bars into the board.

It is advisable to build backrests between the tiers.

You can also make a frameless lounger that will rest on bars screwed to the walls. To do this, attach two bars to the side walls using cap screws. Create gaps between the boards and the walls using nuts. Lay the boards of the deck chair on the screwed beams. For added strength, install two or three wooden beam supports under the lounger. Do not forget to impregnate all wooden surfaces with protective oil, which is intended exclusively for bath loungers.

Build steps at a height of 25 and 45 cm from the floor. There should be two steps. For each of them, use three or four boards. Instead of steps, you can build wooden stands for your head and feet.

Now you know how to build a classic lounger. If you build the sun lounger step by step according to the instructions described above, you will be able to create a strong and reliable place to rest.

The main thing is to first create a project and take the work responsibly.

Bath sofa: relax, friends

We like to say: “What is a wedding without a button accordion, what is a bathhouse without a sofa.” That’s right, a sofa for a bathhouse is a completely necessary piece of furniture, on which it is so nice to relax after grueling steam treatments and think about something sublime.

It is quite obvious that an ordinary object will not fit in a bathhouse - the conditions are too specific. So what should you pay attention to so as not to make a mistake? Let's read.

Kits

Whether you make it yourself or buy it in a store, sets made in the same style are more attractive.

Benches and tables

Since our website contains materials that contain a lot of interesting information about what bath benches are like or how to make them yourself, we will limit ourselves to presenting a few photographs of sets of benches and tables for a bathhouse - perhaps they will inspire you something of its own.

Tables and chairs

We will do the same with tables and chairs for the bathhouse.

Coming from the East

In fact, to tell the truth, the divan is the legislative and executive body in a number of Islamic states, as well as its highest official. Who knows, perhaps the owners of furniture salons under the sonorous and popular name “Mr. Sofa” are very enlightened and erudite in all respects and are not as far from iron logic as it seems to us at first glance.

An indispensable attribute of any office are chairs; in the East, in the same legislative body, the function of such furniture was performed by benches with soft padding, so as not to particularly bother the users, or rather, their individual parts of the body. Actually, from there these important items went around the world, along the way, also acquiring a high back for greater comfort.

Features and differences between a classic and a bath sofa

It is quite obvious and absolutely natural that the furniture in the house and in the bathhouse are somewhat different both in detail and in the principles of use. First, let's look at the concept of a sofa as such.

Dissecting the sofa

As you know, it is a soft piece of furniture designed for prolonged sitting, relaxation and rest of several people at the same time, which is why, in industrial practice, a sofa is often supplied complete with other interior items for a similar purpose: armchairs, coffee or tea tables, footrests and so on. Let's project the situation onto the realities of a bath-sauna.

Bath chairs will certainly allow you to place them in a company rest room or dressing room, but will such placement be comfortable? It’s one thing to have a quick snack at the table, something God sent, and another thing to sit comfortably for a long conversation. As many years of observations show, intimate conversations on chairs are only possible with the investigator and the tax inspector, but do we need that?

Frame bases are a set of power sets made of wooden boards and bars and panel elements made of plywood, chipboard or fiberboard, which absorb and distribute all the loads associated with the operation of the product;
Soft elements and flooring materials - which increase the comfort of using the product and are made in most cases from foam rubber and polyurethane foam, with a sufficient degree of wear resistance. Naturally, elements that do not carry large loads and perform mainly a supporting function can be made of white polyurethane foam, which is significantly inferior in durability to structural types. This also includes elastic belts or, in the professional slang of furniture makers, “harness” or “harness.” Due to varying degrees of stretching, they help to more rationally distribute the resulting loads on the load-bearing units of the product. Non-woven synthetic fabrics, layers, spheres, etc. can be used in pillows and side elements;
Facing is a fabric, leather or other covering that forms and defines the appearance of the product, protects internal elements from damage, and is in direct contact with the user’s body. Can be made from various types of fabrics, leather, leather substitutes, innovative non-woven synthetic materials, increased comfort;
Additional elements - as a rule, their role is played by sofa cushions, the main function of which is to ensure a comfortable position of the human body, to provide the necessary degree of additional support and emphasis for its individual parts.

Important! Sofa pillows are not intended for sleeping. This is not facilitated by their form or their execution.

Features of a bath sofa

Having familiarized ourselves with the structure of this piece of furniture, we can put forward the requirements that sofas for a bathhouse must meet:

As a rule, such sofas are intended for subsequent transformation into a sleeping place, this is especially true for small one-story bathhouses in which the sleeping space is not allocated to a full-fledged functional area.
The frame of such a product is made of pine, spruce, and alder. The panel elements are a plywood base, and a responsible manufacturer protects its ends from water absorption with a special hydrophobic compound, and home-made craftsmen treat it with silicone or wax.
Soft elements should also be classified as raw materials inert to high humidity.
Design features must correspond to the general spirit and interior solutions that were used during the finishing work for arranging the interior space.
At the same time, the design should not be oversaturated with details. In a bathhouse, practicality and ease of use dominate over fashion trends or ultra-high functionality, which undoubtedly leads to unjustified complication of the design of the item as a whole.
Dimensions, total weight, and the ability to disassemble must ensure that the item can pass through the openings of bath doors, which are often smaller in size than standard ones.
Now, about the most important thing - what concerns the cladding. Woven materials are not entirely appropriate due to the high degree of water absorption. And the point here is not only in the characteristics of the microclimate. After taking the procedures, the human body continues to actively secrete sweat for some time, which will be absorbed into the fabric and make it not only sloppy, but also unhygienic. Natural leather has the highest functional qualities, especially those that have undergone a special tanning procedure. But don’t be under the illusion that a leather sofa for a bathhouse can be an inexpensive pleasure. Quite the contrary, the price of such products is high and is calculated in freely convertible foreign currency. A leatherette sofa for a bathhouse, in turn, is a very controversial and ambiguous decision. Practice, especially operational practice, shows that in the vast majority of cases the service life of such a product is extremely low, and a sofa in a bathhouse, the leatherette of which belongs to the class of budget material, may completely fail due to a violation of the integrity of the cladding, after some 3 - 4 months .

Attention! Ordinary leather sofas have one rather unpleasant property - they “grab” the naked body. The problem is solved by using specially made upholstery or lining a towel or sheet.

Summarizing what has been said, regarding the choice of cladding for an item of this kind, I would like to say that sofas for baths and saunas can also have fabric upholstery, but with a number of reservations:

The rest room is located at a sufficient distance from sources of high humidity or there is a buffer zone of sufficient volume between them;
The room in which the furniture is located is equipped with an effective supply and exhaust ventilation system;
The sofa covering can be quickly removed for washing, cleaning and similar operations;
Visitors to the bathhouse are highly cultured people who necessarily use sheets and towels as a moisture-absorbing layer between the body and the surface of the sofa;
In the production of cladding, fabrics with high mechanical strength, low moisture absorption coefficient and a comfortable contact surface are used.

By the way! Synthetic fibers are increasingly ahead of natural fibers in terms of practicality. The only condition is that to be used in a bathhouse, they must have good sanitary and hygienic characteristics and high environmental friendliness.

DIY sofa

If the conditions in your bathhouse allow you to use fabric upholstery, and your hands remember how to work with wood and fabric, then you can take a risk and build a sofa for a bathhouse with your own hands. Shall we try?

As an example, let's take one of the simplest, but at the same time practical designs - a sofa book. You can sit on it comfortably, and if necessary, you can unfold it and turn it into a sleeping place. Versatility in a small sauna is an extremely useful thing. Let's go through the main stages of work:

We begin work with the frame, or rather, with its lower supporting part, which in the finished product will serve as a storage compartment where it is convenient to fold bed linen. It is quite obvious that to store a bed, it must be periodically hung in the open air, no matter how good ventilation your bathhouse is equipped with. In the glove box it is convenient to store a set of household utensils and containers with rowan tincture, which is so good, especially in the cold. By the way, you don’t even need to reach for the next portion. To make a box, you need four boards, two 1900 mm each, two 800 mm each, all 200 mm wide and 25 mm thick. The amplifier requires four bars with a cross section of 50×50 mm and a length of 200 mm.
The assembled box is reinforced along the short side with four crossbars made from four boards, 800 mm long, 50 mm wide and 20 - 25 mm thick.
We cover the bottom of the structure with a sheet of fiberboard measuring 1900x800 mm and about 3 mm thick.
The frame of the seat and backrest is made of timber with a cross-section of 40×60 mm, from which a rectangular structure with dimensions of 1890×650 mm is assembled. The mattress is supported by a set of lamellas - thin, narrow bars, which are assembled in the transverse direction in increments of 50 - 70 mm.
For the armrests, we form a base with the given dimensions from furniture panels. Then, along the contour of the panel base, we attach a frame from a set of bars with a cross-section of 20x40 mm.
To assemble the structure, you will need special accessories for book sofas, which can be purchased in specialized stores. With its help, the seat and backrest are connected, leaving a gap of 8 - 12 mm, when unfolded. When folded, the cut of the seat should not extend beyond the contour of the armrests.
We lay interlining on top of the lamellas, secure it and proceed to laying the foam rubber mass. The thickness of the main layer is 40 mm; here we do not forget to make cutouts for the folding mechanism. To form a supporting cushion, another strip of foam rubber, 20 mm thick, is glued along the edge of the seat. And on top, along the entire plane, there is another one - a finishing sheet, 40 mm thick, the edge of which is tucked under the edge of the seat. A multi-layer set of foam rubber will create more comfortable conditions for furniture users. Similar work is carried out with the back. At the end of which, covers are pulled over them.
We form the armrests. We glue a shaped foam strip, 40 mm thick, on top. There is a second one on top, but 20 mm thick. The inner side of the armrest is glued with a layer of foam rubber, 40 mm thick, not reaching the bottom of the shield 320 mm. The front part of the foam rubber at the end of the armrest is folded inward and secured. The planes are upholstered with fabric, on top of which the necessary fittings are fixed.

Let's be honest, making a sofa right away will not be easy. The right solution, so to speak, a “breakdown of the pen”, can be considered to be carrying out repair work on upholstered and other furniture.

This will allow you to objectively assess your capabilities to manufacture a product “from scratch.”

Bench

A bench is needed in the relaxation room and in the steam room. It can be purchased in a store or ordered from a master. Some people prefer to make the bench themselves.

Drawing of a bench without backrest

To make the bench shown in photo 2, you will need three boards (seat) measuring 50x100x1800 mm, two bars for fastening 50x10x170 mm, four spacer bars 35x50x100 mm, four legs 50x10x400 mm, one spacer board 50x100x1400 mm.

To secure all elements of the bench we use special screws or self-tapping screws.

An irreplaceable and necessary piece of furniture in a bathhouse is a table. Making it yourself is not difficult, you just need to follow the recommendations.

Bath table drawing

For production you will need 8 boards measuring 50x10x1200 mm, which will later become the tabletop. Two fastening strips 50x100x700 mm, four legs 50x50x650 mm, two longitudinal bars 25x100x1050 mm and two transverse bars measuring 25x100x750 mm.

Headrest for bath

To make a headrest you will need only two components: a 15x40 mm strip and a dowel with a diameter of 16 mm.

Drawing of a headrest for a bath

After the glue has dried, we check the serviceability of the rotating mechanism and smooth out all the irregularities, rounding off sharp edges and corners.

The height of the headrest is adjustable: the position can be changed three times, the step is 8 degrees (the angle of inclination is 16, 24 and 32 degrees).

Clothes and towel rack

To make a hanger, we take one upper (25x50x708 mm) and one bottom (25x50x567 mm) fastening strip, 7 wooden squares measuring 25x90x90 mm, 4 wooden rectangles 25x100x200 mm, 11 wooden hooks with a diameter of 25 mm and a length of 100 mm.

Stool

To make a stool for a bath, the drawing of which is shown in photo 6, you will need 4 boards for the seat measuring 50x100x430 mm, 2 bars for fastening 50x100x330 mm (grooves 50x50 mm are made at the ends of each), 4 legs 50x50x400 mm and 4 crossbars 25x100x380 mm.

Drawing of a stool for a bath

The sharp corners of the stool elements are rounded and irregularities are removed.

Bath chair

In order to make a chair for a bath yourself, you will need 5 seat boards 50x100x500 mm, 2 bars for fastening 50x100x490 mm, two longitudinal (25x100x475 mm) and transverse (25x100x540 mm) crossbars. Two backrests measuring 50x50x580 mm, 3 backboards 50x100x540 mm, 2 armrests 25x70x467 mm, two rear legs 50x50x610 mm and two front legs 50x50x600 mm.

Bath chair drawing

All elements of the chair are connected using screws, special confirmat screws, wood dowels with glue or self-tapping screws.

So, for today these are all the drawings of bath furniture that we have prepared for you. Good luck with your work and good mood!

Materials and colors

In the production of sofas, various raw materials are used to make frames, as well as filler and upholstery.

The best material for making bases for bathhouse furniture is considered to be natural wood.

It is not afraid of sudden temperature changes, and special impregnations make it resistant to high humidity. Furniture with frames made of metal, chipboard and MDF is not suitable for use in a bathhouse.

Recently, rattan bath furniture has become increasingly popular . This material is made from palm liana.

Thanks to the ability of the fibers to expand under the influence of steam, the wood becomes soft and bends easily if necessary to give it any shape. Rattan sofas are produced using a special technology - the frame is made of solid stems, and the upper part is made of thin and flexible branches using weaving.

Rattan wood has light colors; it can also be painted in any tone.

Genuine leather is most often used for upholstery of bath sofas . It is insensitive to temperature changes and high humidity.

Expert opinion

Mikhailova Maria Vasilievna

Furniture store manager. Knows everything about comfort and interior design

Leather does not absorb odors; moisture and various types of contaminants are easily removed from it. A leather sofa can last for many years while maintaining its original appearance.

Significant disadvantages of the material include high cost and a meager range of colors. Leather sofas come in pastel colors, white, beige, brown or black.

An inexpensive, but beautiful and durable material used as upholstery for bath sofas is tapestry . Products intended for use in conditions of high humidity are treated with special compounds that help repel liquids.
