[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom, and more particularly, to a bathroom exhibiting an excellent lighting decoration effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A large factor that satisfies the feeling of use of a bathroom includes the width of an internal space and the creation of an atmosphere with a lighting decoration effect. The interior space of the bathroom has a rectangular shape, and the lighting effect is to place the desired lighting equipment at the desired location or to use incandescent lamps, downlights, etc. to maintain the interior space at a predetermined illuminance. In addition, there are several types in which various atmospheres can be created by further performing light control. By the way, the bathtub and the washroom are well-fitted, and the layout of the living space next to it is consistent. Multifunctional.

[0003]

However, in a bathroom having a rectangular shape in a plan view, the side walls are assembled by connecting the four side walls made of a plane at right angles to each other. The uselessness that cannot be used while immersed in a feeling of relief in a relaxed mood cannot be wiped out because of the mental feeling of pressure and instability caused by the indifference inherent in the plane assembly, and it has not been solved yet. Regarding the lighting effect, only the layout of the lighting equipment and the type of the lighting equipment have been devised, and there is no device devised so that the lighting can be used to help eliminate the aforementioned feeling of pressure and instability in the internal space. .

In order to solve this problem, it has been proposed to employ indirect lighting means or to make the side wall portion arc-shaped in a plan view. When indirect lighting is used, a moody atmosphere can be created, and when the side walls are curved in an arc shape in plan view, the roundness gives a sense of openness. However, as a practical problem, if indirect lighting is used, the illuminance for operating a faucet device in a bathtub or for handling bath fixtures placed on a counter provided adjacent to the bathtub becomes insufficient, and a device is required. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to eliminate mental feelings of pressure and instability in cooperation with lighting and a side wall portion, and furthermore, a faucet device. An object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom that does not cause inconvenience in operation of the bathroom and handling of bathroom equipment.

[0005]

The technical means for achieving the above object is that a long side wall portion where the short side of the bathtub meets is bent outward with both ends connected to an adjacent short side wall portion. An indirect lighting means is provided which is formed in an arc shape in plan view and irradiates the curved side wall portion over almost the entire length of the upper end portion on the short side of the bathtub on the ceiling wall thereof, and a counter is provided on the short side of the bathtub. The gist is that it is provided along the curved longitudinal side wall portion adjacent to the hand side.

[0006]

According to the technical means described above, the cooperation between the long side wall having an arc shape in plan view and the indirect lighting means for irradiating the long side wall results in a roundness (softness) which causes a feeling of mental relief. ), A sense of openness that expands the interior space, along with a moody and calm atmosphere. Then, the illumination from the indirect illumination means is reflected on the long side wall portion curved in an arc shape in plan view, and is radiated to the upper edge portion of the short side of the bathtub and the counter.

[0007]

[Effect of the Invention] The present invention is constructed as described above, and is cooperated with an outwardly curved longitudinal side wall having an arc shape in plan view and an indirect lighting means for softly illuminating the longitudinal side wall, thereby providing a rounded open side. You can enjoy a relaxed feeling of relief and atmosphere. In addition, the illumination from the indirect illumination means is reflected on the long side wall curved in an arc shape in a plan view and concentrated on the upper edge portion of the short side of the bathtub or on the counter to irradiate the bathtub, which is at hand. Since the faucet equipment for use and the bath equipment such as shampoo and soap on the counter are brightened, the operation of the faucet equipment is reliable, and mistakes in taking the bath equipment can be eliminated. Therefore, the present invention provides a bathtub that can enjoy both a relaxed feeling of use and an unprecedented atmosphere without increasing the size as a whole, and that can definitely operate a faucet device and handle bath equipment.
