Toilet design: Develop the design yourself

Registration of one of the smallest premises in the apartment - the toilet is far from the easiest task. It is necessary to use even the smallest area optimally, by placing, if possible, also a small shell. In this case, the design of the toilet consists not only from the selection of finishing material, but also the development of wallpaper, gender, ceiling, lighting.

Materials for finishing

Since the toilet is a room that requires frequent cleaning with the use of detergents, the requirements for finishing materials are high. They should wash well, not to be afraid of water, not to absorb smells, have a long service life and not change color for a long time. There are not so many such materials. Most often it is a ceramic, marble tile or porcelain stoneware.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the mosaic. These small squares look completely different. With a proper combination with a tile of normal formats, you can get a lot of interesting options.

There is another material that appeared a few years ago. These are decorative plaster. They have different species with different characteristics. They are with a water-pumping ability, and many of them can be washed many times with brushes. They look modern, serve for years. Applied on the aligned walls with special plastic spatulas / blades. The minus of this type of finishing for the toilet is a high price. Another unpleasant moment: few specialists who can lay decorative plaster at a fairly high level. Complex, it seems, nothing, but without experience a lot of "jambs" - visible seams, poorly broken components, irregularities, etc.

Decorative plasters are very diverse by texture, may have pearl additives

There is a more budget option - finishing with plastic panels. It is certainly not so durable like a tile, but it is much less, and it is mounted much easier and faster. If you need an inexpensive option - it is he.

What to choose a color for the design of the walls decide ourselves

Another cheap way to finish the toilet is pasting walls with waters. But the durability of such a coverage is relatively small, and the prices do not say that such is low. In this case, there is a good way - to combine plastic panels and wallpapers: plastic to separate the lower part - to a height of about 1.5 m, and the rest of the space is caught by wallpaper.

Color selection and design

When choosing a color gamut to finish the toilet, it is necessary to proceed from the total design of the apartment. In principle, the design of the toilet should not fall out of the overall concept. But each time you change the tile in the toilet after the wallpaper has flipped, no one will definitely. Therefore, neutral tones are used - white, beige gray. They are diluted with accessories to the main design of the apartment. It turns out a universal option.

Toilet design in neutral tones - the best choice

When choosing a tone - light-dark - first look at the size of the room. In most apartments toilet small - 2 square meters. m, maximum - 3 square meters. The situation is not too complicated by the situation - this situation is often found, the decisions are known and worked out.

For a small toilet, a light tile or combined. Combination is desirable to do this: dark bottom, light top. This division is not fashionable, but it visually makes the room much wider and spacious. Look at the photo. The red and white toilet seems much wider than in beige tones, although in fact they are the same.

Different design of the toilet identical size

Horizontal division gives another effect: a clear line as it would "fall apart" the walls on the side of the lower ceiling. In a narrow and high room, this is the necessary effect. If a similar toilet design is with a clear division - you don't like it at all, do something similar, modifying the idea. For example, as in the photo below.

Black and beige toilet design

The idea is the same, the performance is different. The combination of black and beige is not so bright as with white, but more pleasant for the eyes. The separation is also horizontal, but it is not on the same level, besides the tile "under Zebra" on the sides distracts attention, also optically "lifting" the walls to the sides.

Two more photo examples. On the right picture, the distant from the entrance of the wall has a dark color and on the sides there is a dark band. A visual strip spreads the walls to the sides, but the dark long wall becomes as if even further. In this case, not the most correct decision. It will be better to look if this wall is lighter than the side.

Methods of visually making a toilet wider

The design of the toilet in a standard apartment on the photo on the left is made using several techniques. The first is the horizontal division of the far wall, which visually approaches it. The second is the vertical stripes on the side walls that serve the same goal: make the room more square at least visually.

Speakingly make the room not so high helps another way - there are several rows of tiles on the walls, which was used on the floor. It looks good, creating the illusion of lower ceilings.

Interesting vertical stripes. Manufacturers of ceramic tiles also began to produce its collections (like wallpaper) to make it easier to combine. All their honey elements are well combined, you only need to decide how many different types you will use - two, three or four. Some options for the toilet ceramic tiles can be seen in the photo.

The main color is a light beige and two options for tiles with patterns - one brightly pronounced, the other is slightly noticeable

Differences - easier and more difficult

Colors from one collection

The tile does not have to be glossy. Matte options also look more than good

As you understand, all the design options for the toilet is impossible. Too many options and variations, but the main trends and methods we outlined.

Location Plumbing

As you have seen, in many toilets, even small in the area, try to put a small sink-wage. Fortunately, plumbing has different shapes and sizes. For toilets use the so-called mini-options. Their depth can be - 20-30 cm, there are straight and angular, so, if desired, you can find a variant for a variety of conditions.

Consider the most typical ways of laying the sink in the toilet. If the doors are located so that one of the simplests is a little more - you can put the sink on this wall. The toilet in this case is located traditionally - closer to the opposite wall.

If the toilet doors are shifted to one of the walls (you can shift them during repair) the sink can be installed on the side wall

With the same layout, you can choose another option - put the toilet (if desired and the possibility and bidet) along the long wall, and lay the mini-sink in the corner.

Another option is the location of the plumbing - along the long wall of the toilet and bidet, sink - in the corner

Just keep in mind that the width of the passage should be at least 60 cm. Otherwise it will be very uncomfortable. This means that this option is the location of the plumbing can be implemented if the width of the dressing room is at least 1.2 m.

You can pick up plumbing and for a very narrow and small toilet, an area of no more than 2 square meters. m. There are model of toilet bowls that can be put into the angle. It can perfectly be combined with an angular sink.

Color and type

In most cases, plumbing choose white. But it may be different colors: red, black, pink, etc. Another thing is that colored toilet or sinks are supplied mainly to the order, and it is necessary to wait for several weeks. But you can buy any color.

There are plumbers of different colors

If it is possible, it is better to install a console toilet in a small toilet. Due to the fact that it rests on the wall, and not to the floor, it looks not so massive, it is more comfortable for cleaning. Minus it is a high price. For its installation, a sufficiently powerful base is required, which hides behind the false panel. This wall can be done:

part of the height - to close the mounting bed;

When installing the console toilet toilet, Fallestin closes the mounting bed. Note - The textured ceramic tile is laid down - the top is decorative plaster

Lighting in the toilet

Traditionally, the toilet make ceiling lighting - one light bulb, and not very powerful, enough for a small space. But the lighting is also one of the design methods that can be beat even a simple tile by creating interesting light effects.

To traditional lamps on the ceiling, you can add two or three on the wall

You should not refuse the light source at the top, you just can add several lamps in the interior. If you have the shelves, make them backlight. For this purpose it is more convenient to use LED tape. She, although it does not have a tangible effect on the degree of illumination, but it looks good (in the photo on the left). Another option is to install lamps in the wall. It can be ordinary embedded models, but they look very unusual on the wall (in the photo on the right).

There is one more option - mount the backlight on the bottom of the wall. It will be easier to do if it is possible to find lamps, which in size coincide with the sizes of the tile and calculate their position so that they become completely. If it does not work, it does not matter, but the tile will have to cut.

Backlight from below - an interesting option

Technical requirements for lighting devices for the toilet standard - high humidity here should not be, so you can buy any models.

Let's start with the practical component. In many apartments, the technical premises are so small that the place for the washing machine is very difficult to find. First of all, this applies to Khrushchev, but other typical high-rise buildings rarely indocile in space. If you have such a case, you can try to install a washing machine in the toilet. There are two options - find a special typewriter - as in the photo on the left, or install it in a specially made niche closing the pipe. Only base foundation is required powerful, and the machine with a minimum level of vibration.

We now turn to the designer's research. Let's start with the floor. In recent years, bulk floors have become fashionable, and they can be made with a 3D effect.
