Small toilet design (17 photos)

A small narrow toilet is a common problem for owners of small cars and more modern apartments. It is difficult to come up with something unusual and non-standard in a room in which even a seven-year-old child can easily rest against opposite walls, spreading his arms out to the sides. At the same time, a “small toilet” is a rather capacious concept; it can mean very narrow and low rooms in the Khrushchevs, rooms in which there is a washbasin and a little space on the rear wall for the shelf, and latrines containing a bidet, a washbasin, two or three shelves or a long narrow one locker. To create an ideal design of a toilet of small dimensions will help photos showing the bathrooms of different layouts and implemented interesting ideas in them.

How to choose a toilet

Before proceeding with the lining of the ceiling, walls and floor, it is worth replacing the plumbing. As you know, light tones visually increase objects, dark ones reduce them. Having thought over a shade of walls, a floor, a ceiling and accessories, it is possible to emphasize a color toilet.

• Tiles in beige, cream, light brown tones in harmony with a cup of coffee or cinnamon. The floor can be tiled, imitating a natural dark brown stone with white and yellow stains. Onyx lining, coffee-colored marble, brown porcelain stoneware will do.

• The toilet bowl imitating malachite looks advantageous in the toilet in light green tones or the color of young grass, cobalt blue in blue and turquoise, red in white, beige, light pink.

In a room with a sink, both items must be replaced. A colored toilet with a white washbasin in the design of a small toilet looks very unfortunate even in the photo.

Black toilet in a small bathroom

In any case, the black bowl looks bold and spectacular, but creating the appropriate surroundings for it is quite difficult, despite the universal nature of color combinations. The standard approach - black and white walls, floor and ceiling - may seem too banal, but you can focus on bright accessories: shiny chromed elements of lamps, paper holders, brush with stand, container for garbage.

For a change, it is desirable to include dark gray and light gray tones in the colors of the cladding, making it on the wall, lined with glossy white tiles, dark gray vertical insert with matt or grooved surface. The design of a separate small toilet with a black toilet wins:

• when decorating the walls with tiles in two colors;
• the use of contrast and mirror inserts of different configurations when decorating walls and floors;
• combination of the color of the toilet with the tone of the floor covering - tiles with onyx with red, white and dark veins, porcelain stoneware, black marble;
• additional hidden spot lighting of walls, ceiling, skirting boards.

The advantages of classic plumbing

Leaving the traditional white plumbing, you can create the illusion of a toilet of a completely normal size for account of a well-chosen ceiling color palette, wall and floor tiles, a competent approach to lighting.

When choosing a toilet, you need to pay special attention to its design, material, color, size. A compact compact white toilet with a cistern is a popular option for a small toilet. It harmoniously looks with any wall, floor and ceiling coverings and accessories.

The floor-mounted toilet can be replaced with a suspended one - it will be easier to clean the room, and the design without a tank fits perfectly into the interior.

The toilet with installation protrudes forward a little further than a device with a standard tank, so it does not save space. However, such a solution would be best if a water heater is mounted above the plumbing fixture. When using a conventional toilet bowl, it will interfere; when choosing a hanging model, the boiler fits organically into a niche. You can do the same with a washing machine.

How to choose wall and floor tiles

At choosing wall and floor tiles for a small toilet in an apartment, it is advisable to take into account the following nuances:

• Tiles of square, rectangular or irregular shape should not be too large or small - it is better to choose a facing material of medium size. Floor tiles may be slightly larger than wall tiles.

• Tile in the form of an elongated rhombus looks good. When you need to visually increase the height, rhombs should be laid with an elongated angle up. If you push the walls - the opposite.
• The visual expansion of the space is facilitated by the combination of medium-sized and small tiles.
• You can visually increase the height due to the narrow vertical inserts of the mirror tiles of a straight, broken or figured configuration.

• The narrow rear wall, which usually houses the toilet, can be finished with two-color tiles or use the combination of different textures - glossy and matte, embossed and smooth.

If the toilet is located opposite the front door, the back wall can be decorated with mosaics, install two or three narrow shelves with decorative lamps, or mount a light panel with a picture.

Cladding Tone Selection

Contrary to the opinion of the importance of the prevalence of light colors in the design of interiors of small rooms, photos on designer sites make sure that dark tones sometimes create very elegant composition.

• The combination of brown with beige, white, yellow, orange, honey, amber looks extremely successful. The walls, lined with glossy brown tiles with matte inserts of one of these bright colors, create an unexpected effect, especially with successful lighting.

• The combination of purple, lilac and pink fits perfectly into the interior of a small toilet. The darkest violet tone should prevail over other shades. Not unnecessary elements will be flat ceiling and wall lamps with matte lilac shades. Pink should be used as accents - decorative elements of ceiling and floor skirting boards, small inserts.

• The same rules are relevant for creating an interior in blue, dark green, black colors. Blue walls, navy or aquamarine floors look beautiful with white, turquoise or blue accents. Dark green - with emerald, light green, white, the color of young grass or jade.
• Do not neglect the gray tones. As the main finish, pearl gray looks great, which should be emphasized and shaded with bright accents - light blue, white, purple, emerald green or orange.

The main rule of color making small toilet - emphasis on spectacular classic combinations and a sense of proportion. Too bright and colorful interior - the combination of black with red, blue, orange, white, beating on the eyes and nerves of the composition, quickly bother, cause a negative reaction and irritation.

White toilet design

Adherents of classic white or light interiors in a modern style should add variety:

• Tile the floor with natural stone of valuable breeds, such as granite, marble, malachite, turquoise, obsidian, onyx, amber, tuff.

• Use decorative ceiling and floor skirting cream, beige, yellow, green, blue.
• To mount a light panel with a bright picture - a starry sky, a night illumination of a city, a beautiful abstract pattern into the ceiling or wall.
• Decorate the ceiling in pastel colors.
• Choose ceiling lights with bright flat or pendant lights.
