You can make the shelves in several rows, you can leave it single-stage. You can place it against one wall, or you can place it along two or three walls, forming the letters “G” or “P”. Also in the steam room you can place furniture such as wooden headrests and footrests. but experts do not advise much to clutter the steam roombecause you need proper air circulation, and unnecessary items of the headset can break it.

Wood species that can be used in creating the interior, a lot. However, not all of them are suitable for a bath or sauna.

Terms of use of wood in the bath:

• thermal conductivity must be small;
• the material should be easily processed;
• the material should not be any damage and defects in the form of cracks or resin pockets;
• The density of the tree should be high.

Only Canadian cedar among conifers can be used in a room with a high temperature, because its resin content is low. Hardwoods are well suited for placing the steam room.

The parameters of frequently used wood species are very diverse.

You should read them:

• Pine. It has a light shade, different strength and good density. Easy to handle. Moreover, it is a cheap material. The only negative - when heated will allocate resin (can not be used in the steam room).
• Spruce. It has a reddish tinge. It has a pleasant structure, easy workability and has a low and pleasant price. However, it also has a number of drawbacks: it is highly susceptible to rotting, contains a lot of resin and has a large number of knots, which is not good when used in a bath.

If you want to create a country style in your bath, you can and should use aged furniture. To give the headset a solid age, you just need to clean it from the old coating. After that, it is worthwhile to cover the “cleaned” furniture with paint or glaze. Using a sponge, we randomly remove a layer of paint to create a feeling of wear.

After all the above actions we cover the headsets with varnish to protect it from external influences.

Add a designer zest: scatter around the bath area some elements in the form of birch brooms for the steam room and bunches of dry herbs.

At the peak of popularity is now a minimalist style. Wooden furniture and a minimum number of accessories will give the bath an ascetic style. This design is well suited for small baths, because with minimal headset availability, the space will visually expand.

Even with not very much experience, you can make your own hands the simplest furniture for a bath.

Tools that will be needed in the course of work:

• hammer;
• plane;
• drill;
• a circular saw;
• pliers;
• roulette;
• gon;
• sanding machine;
• clamps;
• set of cutters;
• hacksaw.

First you need to make a table. You will need:

• boards of 30 x 145 mm and 40 x 250 mm;
• wooden slats 40 x 40;
• bolts and "curly nails";
• antiseptic primer.

The assembly is carried out in a simple sequence:

• Saw boards of size 30 x 145 mm into four parts 1.2 m each. Make flanks on the right and left at an angle of 45 degrees.Stepping back 10 cm from the end of the blanks, cut off the excess material.
• Grind well as a workpiece. Smear all with antiseptic and let the boards dry out.
• Fold the blank crosswise.

• Attach with the bolts our blanks. At a distance of a meter, install the legs. Make and attach two spacers from the remaining boards.
• From boards of a different size, cut or cut three lengths with a dimension of 1.75 m. Process the prepared lengths for the tabletop with a grinding machine. Smear the antiseptic and allow to dry.
• Reiki should be divided into two parts, measuring 77 cm. Treat with an antiseptic primer. Connect all the boards of the tabletop.
• Turn the finished worktop. Put it on the legs of the future table. Using screws, fix the result.

Now you can safely use your handmade work in the bathhouse.

Materials required for work:

• five planks 30 x 200 mm, length 0.8 m;
• Bar 40 x 50 mm, length should be 1 m;
• two bars 40 x 50 mm, length 0.75 m;
• self-tapping screws.

The assembly must be carried out in the following order:

• Choose a place where you place your future table. About 0.7–0.8 m from the floor level, make a mark. According to it, when using the level, the width of the table surface is determined and measured.
• Grind the bars with a grinder as they should, without missing a detail. Cover the boards with an antiseptic primer. Dry the materials properly.
• From the existing boards you need to create a tabletop. Fasten the boards using 0.75 m long bars. One of them should be attached to the table top with a distance of 7 cm from the end. The other should be attached exactly along the edge.
• Try on the assembled countertop to the mark on the wall. The crossbar should be as close as possible to the wall surface. Attach the countertop screws.
• We make installation. Substitute the bar under the surface of the table. Mark the places of future cuts and make notches at an angle of forty-five degrees. This is necessary to fully press the bar against the wall. We install support on the planned place, having fixed it with self-tapping screws.

Naturally, in the bath need sessile seats.Therefore, the next thing you should learn to do is a bench for a bath.

Materials for production:

• three boards 30 x 45 x 1500 mm;
• two planks of wood 1460 x 10 x 20 mm;
• two wooden boards 420 x 260 x 30 mm;
• one board made of wood 1240 x 30 x 200 mm;
• glue for working with wood;
• self-tapping screws.

Working process:

• In the first board from the list, use a cutter on the side to make a groove 10 mm deep. Do this work with all the boards. On one of them grooves need to be done from two sides.
• Lay in a row already milled boards, placing in the middle of the board with two recesses. Coat all available tongs and slats with glue. Put them in each other. Press the boards tightly against each other, fix the received “shield” with clamps.
• When using a jigsaw, we make semicircular cuts fifty millimeters deep. With the second stand doing the same job.
• On a board with a length of 1240 mm, departing from the edges of ten centimeters, we draw two parallel lines across. From the middle of the lines, draw a perpendicular. We get a square. It must be cut out with a hacksaw.
• Sand stand and the resulting beam. Treat them with antiseptic and allow to dry.
• Collect all the elements and fasten them with self-tapping screws.
