Toilet design: with installation and sink, 45 ideas

Choosing a toilet design is just as important as for any other room in the apartment. This room should be beautiful, comfortable and convenient, and for this you will have to rack your brains, choosing materials, furniture and plumbing. The toilet has its own rules for choosing color combinations, original design ideas and the secrets of creating a cozy and functional space.

How to choose the color scheme of the toilet

In apartments where the toilet and bathroom occupy two rooms, these rooms have a modest size area. Therefore, the main task in selecting colors will be the visual expansion of space.

Light colors are suitable - white, beige, olive, blue. But we must not forget about bright or darker colors that will participate in the arrangement of accents. For example, a horizontal strip passing along the walls of the toilet will lengthen the room a little, and any image (patterns, landscapes, thematic drawings) on the wall behind the toilet will add volume to the space.

The expansion effect is given by the sides, baseboards, finishing materials with a glossy or mirror finish. Small patterns or mosaic will dilute the monotony of the walls.

For small toilets in Khrushchev, plumbing is better to choose the same light shades. But if white appliances are bought, then it is better to refuse snow-white walls and furniture: the room will look like a sterile treatment room.

In spacious toilets, it is permissible to use darker colors, but then it is worth choosing materials with a glossy surface.

What materials are suitable for decoration

When choosing materials for the bathroom you need to pay attention to four characteristics:

1. Moisture resistance.
2. Long service life.
3. Practicality (ease of cleaning).
4. The property does not absorb odors.

Therefore, do not use in toilet decoration ordinary paper wallpapers, wood and drywall. Popular materials with qualities suitable for the bathroom are moisture-proof wallpapers, tiles, paints and PVC panels.

Wallpaper

Suitable vinyl, non-woven, liquid wallpaper. These species have water-repellent properties, they are easy to care for.

Liquid wallpaper allows you to apply relief patterns on walls, vinyl and non-woven - to paste one wall with material with an original pattern: this technique expands the space.

The photo shows how the combination of a plain tile with wallpapers of soothing colors looks good in the toilet.

Ceramic tile

Tiling - a more expensive option, but the most optimal and common. By combining tiles of different colors, textures and shapes, laying elements in different ways, you can achieve amazing effects.

By placing the long side of the tile along a short wall, you can make the room visually less elongated. Visually reduce or increase the height of the ceilings horizontal or vertical inserts on the walls. A diagonal laying of tiles will make the shape of the toilet more harmonious.

Pvc panels

PVC panels - the most budget option. They are much cheaper than tiles, but have decent characteristics. They are easy to install, but this will require a frame, due to which the area of ​​the room will decrease by a few centimeters. Therefore, you should not use them in very small toilets.

From PVC panels you can make a box with a hatch that hides the riser and pipes. It will look neat, and you will have free access to communications.

Paint

The best choice is latex, acrylic based paints. The variety of colors on sale is huge, you can create your own unique shades.

Attention! It is necessary to apply paint on a perfectly leveled surface, otherwise all wall defects will be visible, and this will ruin the impression of the bathroom.

Other materials

Design options are not limited to standard options. You can choose tempered glass, mosaic, 3D-tile or Self-leveling floors. The main thing is that the size of the room allows it.

We choose furniture and sanitary ware for the toilet

Since the toilet is a small room, it will not work to install many plumbing fixtures and furniture here. Our interior tips will help you choose interior elements.

• The most successful color for plumbing is white. Chrome and glass inserts will look great, which will make the toilet or sink more “light”.
• Toilets with a built-in installation look modern: a hanging toilet and the same washbasin, bidet. Design is selected, focusing on the style of the selected plumbing.

• A compact washbasin will be a useful addition to a small toilet. Models are half the size of conventional washbasins, corner sinks can successfully cope with their functions.
• The most practical option is a combined toilet combined with a sink. In such models, it is installed above the toilet bowl. The design looks unusual and modern, fits even in a tiny room.

• The design of the bathroom with the sink will have to be carefully considered. We must not forget about free access to all items of plumbing, they should not block the space for entry and exit from the toilet.
• The best place for a water heater, if it is decided to install it in the toilet, is a niche above the installation for a hanging toilet.

Plumbing and furniture should fit into the interior. For example, for a hi-tech style, a toilet with touch control is suitable, and for a marine, cabinets with small helms instead of handles are suitable.

• It is advisable to choose a hygienic shower so that it becomes part of the interior, as in the photo.

• In separate bathrooms it is difficult to arrange massive furniture such as cabinets and cabinets. You can hide the pipes and shelves in the niche behind the toilet, which will be closed by roller shutters or blinds.
• Another idea is to “integrate” the toilet into a rack or cabinet. Good examples are in the following photos.

• Decorative shelves will diversify the interior.

Lighting

It is important to pay attention to lighting. It should be bright enough so that the space does not seem closed.

For a low ceiling, neat sconces and built-in lamps are suitable. The lighting of the sanitary ware looks interesting: it will create the effect of “soaring” objects, “facilitate” the interior.
