Toilet Interior Design Ideas

Many people underestimate the importance of the design of the bathroom. 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 every opportunity for this - any finishing materials are found in stores, and you can get lost in the assortment of sanitary equipment. 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 draft. Usually a bathroom in most dwellings is modest in size, but this does not mean that it does not need design development.

Not always a toilet room is complemented by a bathtub. 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, except for the toilet and a small sink (floor or wall).

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

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

There is a bidet in the dedicated toilet. Typically, such decisions are resorted to if the room has a larger area. If the room is very small, it is advisable to choose designs of small sizes - plumbing of impressive dimensions for a small area is simply not suitable. The toilet and bidet are best installed next to each other, along the same wall. It will be possible to save space and visually make it easier if modern hinged structures are used.

A completely different arrangement of all the necessary components will be in case you take up the design of a combined bathroom. In such a room there is a toilet, a sink, and a bathroom. Often, a washing machine and other household appliances are also placed here. The design of such rooms is especially important, 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 at the same time attractive. 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 extreme walls (instead of a regular bathtub, it is acceptable to use a jacuzzi with an angular design and small dimensions).

A good solution would be partition separating the toilet from the bathroom and sink area. With this arrangement, all the elements can be placed along one wall. The partition between the toilet and the rest of the elements can be made by yourself or purchased in the store a special screen.

In the conditions of a small combined bathroom it is better to install trendy corner whirlpool. 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 tank hidden in the wall.

The ideal solution for a combined bathroom will be built-in shower with glass wings. Under this design, 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 second half). A cupboard with a sink and a mirror can be put against the wall at a distance plumbing. If the dimensions of the bathroom are not so modest, it will be possible to install a large stationary shower, and put a bidet and a toilet on the right or left of it. In this case, in a spacious long room there will be enough space for a cabinet with a sink.

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

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

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

• If you are designing a small and narrow toilet, it is important to select only narrow, not too dense and thick materials for wall decoration in it, otherwise they will not only hide the already modest space, but will also make it coarser.
• The thickness of the finishing layer should be small, but at the same time, 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 worthless.
• Of course, the wall decoration should be beautiful. We must not forget about the decorative component of the selected materials.

Such finishing materials are ideally suited for a bathroom.

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

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

• The 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 more durable material, and for the upper part - less wear-resistant and strong, but more decorative option.

• Ceramic tile. The walls in the toilet, decorated 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, does not require complicated care. However, if you want to update the interior, you should know that the dismantling of this finish will cost a lot.

• Paint. Some homeowners prefer to use wall painting in the design of the toilet. This decision is usually resorted to if it is not possible to lay tile or PVC panels on the walls (the crate for the latter will take up extra space). Walls for future painting will have to be carefully prepared: get rid of potholes, bumps, cracks. Often alignment is carried out by installing moisture-resistant drywall sheets. If the walls in the room are already perfectly even and neat, then you can do without prior alignment.

It is equally important to choose the perfect materials for finishing the floor in the toilet. Coatings should be not only durable, not afraid of dampness and moisture, but also easy to clean. Otherwise, there will be many problems that will have to be fought regularly.

A good solution for flooring - ceramic tile. Often it is placed on the walls and on the sexual base. The result is a very beautiful combination. Ceramics are most often chosen to design the floor in the bathroom, because it has all the necessary operational characteristics. This is a simple non-whimsical material that can be easily cleaned and cleaned if necessary. Keeping the toilet clean with a similar floor will be very simple.

Ceramic tiles are strong, wear-resistant, durable, not afraid of dampness, moisture or temperature jumps. Putting it on the floor once, you can not remember the repair of the coating for many years. Even in the event of an emergency, a properly laid tile will not suffer in any way, will not depart 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 plain plain and products with drawings, beautiful prints and patterns. True, experts recommend buying floor tiles, not wall tiles, for the floor. Special options for the sexual basis 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. Qualitatively, not everyone can put such a finishing material on the strength. If the area of ​​the toilet is small, then this work can be done on your own.

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

If you want to design the interior of the toilet as original and unusual as possible, it is worth resorting to laying special 3D bulk floors. These are relatively new finishing materials that have not yet become as popular as tiles, but their performance and decorative features are in no way inferior to ceramics.

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

Bulk floors have a perfectly smooth surface. They wash without problems, are not as cold as tiles. They can be used as long as the household does not get tired of their appearance. A similar floor finish can also be considered a perfect waterproofing, so you can not worry about leaks.

Sometimes for finishing the floor in the toilet, more budgetary and affordable material is used - linoleum. It is inexpensive, presented in a wide range. On the floor you can put a coating that simulates a variety of materials. On sale there are products under a tile, a wooden covering. Popular instances with plant drawings, beautiful patterns.

Linoleum on the toilet floor can last for many years if there is no emergency situation, because of which it will have to be dismantled. If you use a special warm option for flooring, then after the "accident" it can only be sent to the trash. If we are talking about an insulated coating, then it can be well washed and dried, and then returned to its original place. Before putting linoleum in the toilet, it is necessary to level the floor. This material should not be placed on an uneven base.

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

Do not underestimate the importance of decorating the ceiling in the interior of the toilet. You can use various materials for this. 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 trim is also important. Incorrectly selected materials can visually distort the room, make it too cramped, crushing.

Let's consider in more detail what materials are ideal for decorating the ceiling in the bathroom.

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

• Slatted ceilings. Recently, a popular option for finishing the ceiling. Rack products are made of thin metal. Over the years, such a material will not turn yellow, like plastic, it will not deteriorate under the influence of high humidity, it will not become deformed. Often between panels-rails, insert-layouts of contrasting colors are installed, due to which interesting design decisions are obtained.

• False ceilings of cassette type. They are a solid metal structure that defines cells of regular shapes. Plates or panels are placed on top of them.

• Drywall. This version of the ceiling is popular because it can be easily installed with your own hands without calling the craftsmen. Materials at the same time will not be expensive. Using plasterboard sheets, you can align the ceiling, make it more accurate, hide the ceiling and communications. Often, such bases complement the backlight, which brings a twist to the interior.

• Stretch ceiling. A popular decoration option in our time, but they do not resort to it so often to design a toilet. It will not be possible to install a stretch ceiling with your own hands - you need specialized equipment. It can cost a lot. In a very small toilet there will not be the necessary area of ​​tension, you will have to choose a different finish.

For the design of the toilet, you should choose a certain style. Subsequently, it will have to be followed when choosing finishes, plumbing, lighting, accessories and decor. Let us consider in more detail what distinguishing features different stylistic directions have.

• Minimalism. An ideal solution for a small room where there is no room for a large number of objects. There may be contrasts of dark and light colors, such materials as wood, glass, metal, stone.

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

• Provence. In such a toilet, you should adhere to a calm pastel color scheme. All details must be delicate and elegant. 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 souvenirs made of stone. The interior will turn out to be more attractive if the floor is finished with ceramic tiles. Colors should be calm, echoes of 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 the toilet wall, and finish one of the walls with a brickwork coating.

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

You can put additional lights on the cabinet with a sink. Most often, such decisions 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 about the style.

The arrangement of the 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 convenient and practical as possible. Of course, all elements must fit into the quadrature of the room: for very small toilets you do not need to purchase large structures, and in spacious rooms small pieces of furniture and sanitary ware can look ridiculous.

In most homes you can see standard floor 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, under it is easy to clean the floor. But it can only be attached to a strong wall (the base of the gypsum board does not fit).

It is better to hide the pipes in the toilet behind built-in furniture or a special panel with a window. Often used masking shelves behind wall panels. In the same way, the boiler boiler is “hidden”. You can put a sink here. The best solution is a mounted model. It can fit even in a very small room. If the dimensions allow, it is worth choosing a sink on the cabinet with cabinets and shelves - it is convenient to store different 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 box;
• brush;
• hooks for clothes and towels;
• stands for hygiene products.

A good solution would be rack combined with a toilet tank. Behind the mirror in the room it is possible to hide additional shelves.

Do not think that the toilet has no place for a beautiful decor and accessories. Here you can place:

• small pictures;
• flowers in neat vases (unpretentious plants - ficus, cactus);
• unusual organizers for towels;
• a set of soap dishes, rinsing glasses, containers for brushes, made in a single key;
• Interesting rugs suitable in color and style;
• non-standard fixtures of original forms;
• mirrors with beautiful frames;
• wicker baskets of different sizes.

Being engaged in the design and arrangement of the toilet in the apartment, you should know about some important nuances.

• Many experts in the conditions of a very small toilet in a panel house recommend turning to the installation of an integrated toilet. It will occupy a minimum of square meters, and all of its communication systems will be hidden in the wall.
• Finishing with plastic panels will be the cheapest, but in rare cases it turns out to be really beautiful and effective. If you decide to finish the walls with these materials, they will have to be carefully and carefully selected, 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 most easily finished with fine tiles.
• A tile of bright and unnatural color can spoil the entire interior of the toilet. A win-win solution - natural motives.
• In a small toilet, it is recommended to hang a large mirror. Visually, it will expand the space, reflect the light coming from the lighting devices.
• It is recommended to use more light colors in the interior of the bathroom, 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, so that the situation is less gloomy and aggressive.
• In the toilet, all furniture and plumbing is best placed along the walls. The central part 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 you design a toilet, you need to connect a fantasy, otherwise the interior will turn out boring and monotonous. If you equip and decorate this room with taste, it will turn out to be truly stylish, fashionable and harmonious.

Consider some interesting design ideas that you can take into service.

• A small and narrow toilet will look lighter and neater, if the floor and the lower part of the walls in it are finished with tiles of a shade of coffee with milk. The upper part of the walls is better covered with a snow-white glossy tile without patterns. Separation of different materials can be depicted as a thin strip of mosaic. In such an environment, many objects cannot be accommodated. 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 finished in dark wood, and the walls will look like brick and planks. In such a non-standard setting, contrasting light sanitary ware should be installed - a white monolithic toilet bowl with a glossy surface, a hinged round washbasin. Above the latter you can hang a small round mirror with a discreet grayish frame.

• The toilets decorated in white and green colors look nice and neat. To do this, you can choose the right plastic panels of high quality or tile. The bottom of the walls and floor should be pale green, and the top should be white. Dilute prints of geometric shapes on a white background will dilute the finish.

• Many people prefer to make the toilet interior as discreet as possible.. To do this, the walls and floor of the room can be finished with materials in neutral gray tones. Against such a background, a white wall-mounted toilet with a hidden cistern, a rectangular-shaped wall-mounted washbasin, metal taps, buttons and accessories, as well as a simple mirror above the washstand, will harmoniously look.
