Gusevsky Andrey Anatolyevich

You can do it too.

Lounge, what else can be added to the phrase? The dynamic development of new construction technologies provide opportunities to build a bathhouse of any size, from any materials.
Construction can be done both with your own hands and by contacting specialized companies. If you ask your interlocutor to quickly name the associations that arise in the consciousness at the word bath, every second answer - a steam room, a basin, a birch broom and a relaxation room.

What is her appeal

A leisurely conversation in the relaxation room acts as part of the ritual, the adoption of bath procedures. Hot tea, herbal infusion, kvass or fruit drink are those components of a real Russian bath.
In the relaxation room, no less time is spent than in a steam room or a sink (seeInterior decoration of the bathhouse with different materials), where a therapeutic or wellness massage is performed. The common room belongs to the same obligatory attributes as a dressing room, a steam room and a washing room.
It turns out that there are many little things that deserve attention when equipping a relaxation room, which can be in a bath and a sauna.

What is recommended to do in the rest room

Let's look at some recommendations that will be useful when designing a relaxation room:

• Floors, if wood material was used for the flooring, should be carefully sanded and lay board to board without cracks.
• The floors should be comfortable for jogging and walking barefoot.
• It is not recommended to decorate or use synthetic carpet and animal skins. The natural skin from moist air warps and rots, and the synthetics in a Russian bath are like a barrel organ in Paris. The rest room in the bath is nevertheless done for the pleasure of bath procedures and breaks between entering the steam room and is well presented in the video.
• Upholstered furniture in such a wet mode will also not stand idle for a long time, therefore sofas with soft and leather upholstery are not quite appropriate for this room, like a TV. They came to communicate with relatives and friends, so talk for yourself and listen to others, and do not be distracted by programs, they will be repeated several times.
• We decided to adhere to the Russian style in the interior of the relaxation room, then wooden furniture will fit perfectly. It is preferable to order furniture from good wood, made in a rough, rustic version with carvings.
  The same style is maintained at shelves on the wall and lamps.

Functionally, it is more adapted in the rest room and will last much longer. Carved wooden shelves and cabinets for storing aromatic oils, massage cream, a variety of herbs for preparing herbal infusions and aromatherapy, a massive wooden table with a samovar will complement the interior of the room.

• Good quality textiles give chic and style to the relaxation room. A special tea from a samovar with coals will bring joy and taste, but electric is also suitable, the main process of pouring boiling water from a tap into a cup for children, this must be seen and they themselves feel their delight from the magic drink.

Small details of a special atmosphere

• The diffused, soft, relaxing light is created by small lamps placed around the perimeter of the room. Different incandescent light bulbs create a muffled tone in the corners and a brighter light in the center, which contributes to a cozy atmosphere, relaxation of the eyes and stress relief, especially small spotlights mounted under the ceiling or in it are especially popular.
• The use of natural light in parallel with artificial light has its own nuances. There are no large windows in the baths, and it is located in the relaxation room so that the sunlight does not interfere with a good rest.
  The color scheme in the interior of the room also serves this. Warm colors and colors of furniture, a white tablecloth on the table, embroidered napkins set up a positive attitude towards the world around us and loved ones.

Attention: A typical project with a lounge should take into account various trifles; imagine mentally the convenience of the proposed layout for you and guests before agreeing.

Finishes the interior of the lounge in the Russian style with small details, decorative accessories:

• They can be wooden spoons, wicker bast shoes, stained-glass windows, amulets, paintings with bath themes, birch brooms.
• The most affordable and easiest option for their purchase is specialized stores.
• Original gizmos are sold at rural fairs, they do not ask dearly for them, and for craftsmen, crafts from wood and hobbies are also a means of additional income.
• You can make embroideries and drawings yourself with children.
• The special energy of the owner’s hands and indoors, love and care where they are present is felt.
