Toilet interior design ideas

Many people underestimate the importance of bathroom design. Meanwhile, the harmonious and attractive design of the toilet is no less important than the design of the living room, kitchen or bedroom. Fortunately, modern consumers have all the possibilities for this - in stores there are any finishing materials, and in the range of plumbing equipment, you can even "get lost". Today we will look at how to create an aesthetic toilet design.

Before proceeding with the design of the toilet, it is necessary to correctly draw up a project. Usually a bathroom in most dwellings is of modest size, but this does not mean that it does not need a design development.

The toilet room is not always complemented by a bathroom. Often there are apartments in which a separate bathroom is provided. Usually, in such conditions, a very small room is allocated for the toilet, in which something rarely fits other than a toilet bowl and a small sink (floor or wall-mounted).

Often the separate toilet is long. A win-win solution in this case is install the toilet near the far wall of a small width. Sinks are installed along the other larger walls, mirrors are hung, and other interior items are selected depending on the area of ​​the room.This type of project is one of the most popular and frequently used. Even a small and elongated space can be made beautiful and stylish.

Small and elongated toilets, separated from the bathroom, often have small corner sinks. Such plumbing fixtures can only be fixed in the corner of the room. In this case, they often choose the space to the right or left of the toilet.

A dedicated toilet can be fitted with a bidet. Usually, such solutions are resorted to if the room has a larger area. If the room is very small, it is advisable to choose small-sized structures - plumbing of impressive dimensions for a small area simply will not work. It is better to install the toilet and bidet next to each other, along the same wall. It will be possible to save space and visually make it lighter if you use modern hinged structures.

A completely different arrangement of all the necessary components will be in case you take up the design of the combined bathroom. In such a room, there is a toilet, a sink, and a bathroom. A washing machine and other household appliances are often installed here. It is especially important to draft such rooms, since their arrangement is often more complicated than in the case of separate toilets.

Much depends on the area of ​​the combined bathroom. Even in a very small room, it is possible to place all the necessary details and make it pretty at the same time. So, in conditions of limited rectangular space, you can install a hanging sink with a mirror in the center of the longest wall, and put a toilet bowl and a bathtub at the two outer walls (instead of a regular bathtub, it is permissible to use a jacuzzi with an angular design and small dimensions).

A good solution would be partition separating the toilet from the area with a bathtub and sink... With this arrangement, all elements can be placed along one wall. You can make the partition between the toilet bowl and the rest of the elements with your own hands or purchase a special screen in the store.

In the conditions of a small combined bathroom, it is better to install trendy corner jacuzzi... Such a product can be installed in the corner of adjacent walls located in the direction from the door to the room. There will be free space on the right and left walls. On the right, you can install a hanging sink with a mirror, and on the left, closer to the door, put a small toilet bowl with a cistern hidden in the wall.

The ideal solution for a combined bathroom is built-in shower cubicle with glass doors. Under this structure, you can take one half of the room, separate it with a partition, behind which there is a place for a toilet and a bidet (they will occupy the other half). A curbstone with a sink and a mirror can be placed against the wall at a distance from the plumbing. If the dimensions of the bathroom are not so modest, it will be possible to install a large stationary shower cabin, and put a bidet and a toilet on the right or left of it. At the same time, there will be enough space in a spacious long room for a cabinet with a sink.

There can be a lot of options on how to arrange all the details in a combined bathroom. It all depends on the area of ​​the room, its layout. Even in small rooms, you can place all the necessary components.

The beauty and harmony of the toilet design largely depends on the selected finishing materials, of which there are incredibly many on sale. It is possible to choose the ideal options for rooms of any size and layout. Let us consider in detail which cladding options will be the best solution in the design of the toilet.

It is important to choose the right materials for wall decoration correctly. They will set the tone and mood of the entire interior, even if we are talking about a very small room. Finishing materials for a bathroom must meet a number of requirements.

• If you are decorating a small and narrow toilet, then it is important to select only narrow, not too dense and thick materials for decorating the walls in it, otherwise they will not only hide the already modest space, but also make it coarser.
• The thickness of the finishing layer should be small, but the wall materials should be strong, wear-resistant and durable. It is advisable to give preference to products that are resistant to abrasion.
• Wall decoration in the toilet must be resistant to the damaging effects of moisture and moisture. If this parameter is not taken into account, then the materials will quickly become unusable.
• Of course, the wall decoration should be beautiful. We must not forget about the decorative component of the selected materials.

Such finishing materials are ideal for a bathroom.

• Plastic panels. They are not afraid of dampness and moisture, are presented in a huge assortment, are relatively inexpensive, and are not capricious in their care. If made from quality raw materials, they do not lose their color saturation. They can imitate various surfaces - from plaster to brickwork.

• Washable or cork wallpaper. A neat, beautiful material that can be expensive. If you want to glue wallpaper in the toilet, then you should choose exclusively washable options that will not be afraid of moisture. Otherwise, they will not last long on the walls. Wallpaper on the walls of the toilet can be combined.

• Combination of materials. The interior of the toilet looks interesting and lively, in which several different materials are used for wall decoration. For example, for the panel part of the wall, you can use a more durable material, and for the upper part, a less wear-resistant and strong, but more decorative option.

• Ceramic tile. The walls in the toilet, finished with ceramic tiles, look especially stylish, expensive and neat. With them, the room takes on a completely different look. Such a finish will last for many years and will not require complex maintenance. True, if you want to update the interior, then you should know that dismantling this finish will not be cheap.

• Dye. Some homeowners choose to use wall paint to decorate their toilet. This solution is usually resorted to if it is not possible to put tiles or PVC panels on the walls (the crate for the latter will take up extra space). The walls for future painting will have to be carefully prepared: get rid of potholes, irregularities, cracks. Leveling is often carried out by installing moisture-resistant drywall sheets. If the walls in the room are already perfectly flat and neat, then you can do without preliminary alignment.

It is equally important to choose the ideal materials for your toilet floor. The coatings should be not only durable, not afraid of dampness and moisture, but also easy to clean. Otherwise, many problems will arise with them, which will have to be dealt with regularly.

Not a bad solution for flooring - ceramic tile. Often it is placed both on the walls and on the floor. The result is very beautiful combinations. Ceramics are most often chosen for decorating the bathroom floor, since they have all the necessary performance characteristics. This is a simple, non-whimsical material that can be easily cleaned and cleaned if necessary. Keeping the toilet clean with a floor like this will be very easy.

Ceramic tiles are strong, wear-resistant, durable, not afraid of dampness, moisture, or temperature jumps. Having put it on the floor once, you can forget about repairing the coating for many years. Even in the event of an emergency, a well-laid tile will not suffer in any way, it will not move away from the surface of the base.

To the delight of consumers, ceramic tiles are presented in a huge assortment. It will be possible to choose the best option for any situation. On sale there are both simple plain colors and products with drawings, beautiful prints and patterns. True, experts recommend buying floor tiles for the floor, and not wall tiles. Special options for a flooring base are more reliable and strong, withstand significant loads.

But we must remember that the tiled floor will be cold. To solve this problem, you can refer to the installation of the "warm floor" system. Not everyone can put such a finishing material qualitatively. If the area of ​​the toilet is small, then this work can be done on your own.

Can be made easier - lay a soft rug, it will make the room more comfortable.

If you want to decorate the interior of the toilet in the most original and unusual way, you should resort to laying special 3D self-leveling floors... These are relatively new finishing materials that have not yet become as popular as tiles, but their performance and decorativeness are in no way inferior to ceramics.

The main advantage of self-leveling floors is that they can imitate absolutely any material. These can be spectacular surfaces of both natural and artificial objects. Floors that imitate sea waves, coastal sand, stones, a flower meadow and others look gorgeous. Experienced craftsmen perform the work in such a way that the images receive a spatial volume that makes the elements natural and realistic. A toilet with such a floor is simply amazing.

Self-leveling floors have a perfectly smooth surface. They wash without problems, are not cold like tiles. They can be used as long as the household does not get tired of their appearance. This floor finish can also be considered flawless waterproofing, so you don't have to worry about leaks.

Sometimes for finishing the floor in the toilet, a more budgetary and affordable material is used - linoleum. It is inexpensive, presented in the widest range. The floor can be covered with a variety of materials. On sale there are products for tiles, wood flooring. Specimens with plant patterns and beautiful patterns are popular.

Linoleum on the toilet floor can last for many years, unless an emergency arises, due to which it will have to be dismantled. If a special warm version is used for the flooring, then after an "accident" it can only be sent to the trash heap. If we are talking about a non-insulated coating, then it can be well rinsed and dried, and then returned to its original place. Before you put linoleum in the toilet, you need to level the floor there. This material should not be placed on uneven surfaces.

Popular today is cork flooring. It does not accumulate dirt and dust. Cork flooring is easily cleaned of dirt, abrasion resistant, durable and does not absorb moisture. If the material is laid according to all the rules, then small leaks cannot harm it. The cork is characterized by excellent heat and sound insulation properties. Its surface is pleasant for the feet, as it always remains warm and shock-absorbing. If there is cork on the floor of the toilet, the rug may not be placed there.

Don't underestimate the importance of ceiling decoration in your toilet interior. For this, you can use a variety of materials. They, as in the case of floors or walls, must be wear-resistant, not afraid of moisture, durable.

Of course, the design of the ceiling finish is also important. Incorrectly selected materials can visually distort the room, make it too cramped, oppressive.

Let's take a closer look at what materials are ideal for finishing the ceiling in the bathroom.

• Plastic panels. Inexpensive material on the market in the widest range. They can hide all the flaws and damage on the floor slabs. But we must remember that this finish will lower the horizontal base by about 50 mm, and if bulbs are installed there (or they hide communications), then this figure will become even larger.

• Rack ceilings. Recently popular option for finishing the ceiling. Rack and pinion products are made from thin metal. Over the years, such material will not turn yellow like plastic, will not deteriorate under the influence of high humidity, and will not deform. Often, inserts-layouts of contrasting colors are installed between the panels-slats, due to which interesting design solutions are obtained.

• Suspended ceilings of cassette type. They are a solid metal structure that defines the cells of the correct shapes. Slabs or panels are embedded in them from above.

• Drywall... This ceiling option is popular because it can be easily installed with your own hands, without calling the masters. At the same time, the materials will not be expensive. With the help of plasterboard sheets, you can level the ceiling, make it neater, hide the floor itself and communications. Often, such bases are complemented by lighting, which brings zest to the interior.

• Stretch ceiling. The finishing option is popular in our time, but it is not often used to decorate the toilet. It will not be possible to install a stretch ceiling with your own hands - you need specialized equipment. It can get expensive. A very small toilet will not have the required tension area, you will have to choose a different finish.

For the design of the toilet, it is worth choosing a certain style. Subsequently, it will need to be adhered to when choosing finishes, plumbing, lighting devices, accessories and decor elements. Let's take a closer look at what distinctive features different stylistic directions have.

• Minimalism. Ideal solution for a small room where there is no room for a large number of items. Contrasts of dark and light colors can be found here, materials such as wood, glass, metal, stone.

• Classic. Chandeliers in the toilet are usually not hung, especially if it is small. For a classic interior in the toilet, you should choose an antique-style sink, an aged mirror with a beautiful frame, and a chic marble floor.

• Provence. In such a toilet, you should stick to a calm pastel color scheme. All details should be delicate and graceful. The space should radiate lightness. It is worth adding linen towels, mosaics to the interior, small paintings, discreet ornaments, flowers are acceptable.

• Ecostyle. The name of this popular style speaks for itself. For decoration, you need to choose environmentally friendly and natural materials. You can place stone souvenirs. The interior will be more attractive if the floor is finished with ceramic tiles. Colors should be calm, echoing with each other.

• Loft. In such an environment, industrial motives will be in place.There should be flat facades, metal elements, it is better to install a wall-mounted toilet, and finish one of the walls with a coating for brickwork.

In a small toilet, one lighting fixture will not be enough. Even if the room is very small, one lamp cannot illuminate absolutely the entire space in it. The ideal solution is mini spot bulbs. They are installed in the central part of the ceiling base or along a long row. A lamp above the mirror or floor lighting can serve as additional lighting. In the case of finishing the GKL ceiling, you can resort to installing LED strips.

It is possible to put additional lamps on the vanity unit with a sink. Most often, such solutions are resorted to in the case of a combined bathroom. This lighting fixture is optional, but if you still want to add it, you need to remember to match the style.

Arrangement of a toilet is not a complicated matter. When choosing furniture and plumbing for this room, the main thing is to remember that they should be as comfortable and practical as possible. Of course, all elements must fit into the square of the room: for very small toilets, you do not need to purchase large structures, and in spacious rooms small pieces of furniture and plumbing can look ridiculous.

In most homes, you will find standard floor-standing toilets. But modern manufacturers offer more interesting options. For example, in a small room, the ideal solution would be fashionable hinged option. It is comfortable, designed for heavy loads, and it is easy to clean the floor under it. But it can only be attached to a strong wall (the base from the gypsum board will not work).

It is better to hide pipes in the toilet behind built-in furniture or a special panel with a window. Often they use masking of shelves behind wall panels. In the same way, they "hide" the boiler boiler. You can also put a sink here. The best solution is the mounted model. It can fit even in a very small room. If the dimensions allow, it is worth choosing a sink on a cabinet with cabinets and shelves - it is convenient to store various things and objects there.

Do not forget about the important little things that complete the interior design of the bathroom. They can be:

• toilet paper holder;
• soap dish;
• brush;
• hooks for clothes and towels;
• stands for hygiene products.

A good solution would be a rack combined with a toilet cistern. It is possible to hide additional shelves behind the mirror in the room.

Do not think that there is no room in the toilet for beautiful decor and accessories. You can place here:

• small paintings;
• flowers in neat vases (unpretentious plants are suitable - ficus, cactus);
• unusual organizers for towels;
• a set of a soap dish, a glass for rinsing, a container for brushes, made in a single key;
• interesting rugs matching color and style;
• non-standard lamps of original shapes;
• mirrors with beautiful frames;
• wicker baskets of different sizes.

When designing and arranging a toilet in an apartment, it is worth knowing about some important nuances.

• Many experts in a very small toilet in a panel house recommend turning to the installation of a built-in toilet. It will take up a minimum of square meters, and all of its communication systems will be hidden in the wall.
• Decorating with plastic panels will be the cheapest, but in rare cases it turns out to be really beautiful and effective. If you decide to decorate the walls with these materials, you will have to choose them for a long time and carefully, otherwise the interior will look cheap.
• For the bathroom "Khrushchev" the ideal finishing material is mosaic.In such dwellings, there are peculiar rounded corners, which are easiest to finish with precisely small tiles.
• Tiles of bright and unnatural colors can ruin the entire interior of the toilet. A win-win solution - natural motives.
• It is recommended to hang a large mirror in a small toilet. Visually, it will expand the space, reflect the light emanating from lighting fixtures.
• In the interior of the bathroom, it is recommended to use more light colors, especially if the room is small in area. If you want to turn to dark palettes, then they should be diluted with light or pastel colors to make the situation less gloomy and aggressive.
• In the toilet, all furniture and plumbing is best placed along the walls. The center of the room should remain unaffected.
• Visually, the toilet room can be made wider. To do this, it is recommended to divide it into different zones, using finishing materials of various textures and colors.

When decorating a toilet, you need to connect imagination, otherwise the interior will turn out to be boring and monotonous. If you equip and decorate this room with taste, then it will turn out to be truly stylish, fashionable and harmonious.

Let's take a look at some interesting design ideas that you can take on board.

• A small and narrow toilet will look lighter and more tidy, if the floor and the lower part of the walls in it are finished with tiles in the shade of coffee with milk. It is better to cover the upper part of the walls with snow-white glossy tiles without patterns. The separation of different materials can be represented as a thin strip of mosaic. In such an environment, it will not be possible to fit many objects. It is enough to install a hinged snow-white toilet with a hidden cistern, and next to it put a ruff and a light paper holder on the wall.

• The bathroom will look stylish and unusual, in which the floor will be decorated with dark wood, and the walls - with brick and boards. In such a non-standard environment, contrasting light plumbing should be installed - a white monolithic toilet with a glossy surface, a hinged rounded washbasin. Above the latter, you can hang a small round mirror with a discreet grayish frame.

• Toilets, decorated in white and green colors, look cute and neat. To do this, you can choose suitable high quality plastic panels or tiles. The bottom of the walls and floor should be pale green, and the top should be white. Dilute the finish with discreet prints of geometric shapes on a white background.

• Many people prefer to keep the interior of the toilet as discreet as possible.... For this, the walls and floor in the room can be finished with materials in neutral gray tones. Against such a background, a white hinged toilet with a hidden cistern, a rectangular hinged sink, metal faucets, buttons and accessories, as well as a simple mirror above the washbasin will look harmonious.
