A bathroom is as important a part of a house as rooms and a kitchen. Often the size of the toilet is quite modest. However, even a small room can be made stylish and cozy, if you use current ideas. Consider the modern design trends of a toilet room without a bath.
Hanging Plumbing
A modern bathroom interior is not possible without a hanging toilet with installation. Interestingly, some of these models have a lower cost than expensive floor options. However, they look more advantageous. In addition to the fact that in this case there are no ugly joints, the plumbing itself looks lighter and more elegant. It does not take up space on the floor, which visually expands the area of the room.
The practicality of such a solution is also worth noting - cleaning becomes easier and more convenient. Also on the wall you can fix the holder for the brush.
Hatch disguise
Cheap plastic construction that covers the hatch on the wall can ruin any luxury repair. The best solution would be hide the hatch under tiles or furniture doors. In extreme cases, you can close it with a picture, a photo in a frame or a panel.
Of course, such a piece of decor should harmoniously fit into the overall interior.
Window decoration
In modern apartments, the toilet window can be seen infrequently. If it is, the easiest way to arrange it is to install blinds or a roll design. In a classic interior or style Provence a fabric curtain is acceptable. You can not cover the glass at all.
It all depends on the location of the window and the personal preferences of the owners of the house.
The invoice of materials
The best material for finishing the toilet room is still tile. However, kits that include the same medium-sized tiles in two colors and borders with ornaments are already a thing of the past. At the peak of popularity, ceramics imitating natural materials (wood, concrete, stone).
Combinations of tiles of different types look interesting. Actively used in the design of large-sized models, options of an unusual shape (for example, in the form of hexagons). Black and white or gray and white patchwork is allowed. The hog and mosaic have already become classics.
The latter is especially relevant in cases where it is necessary to draw up rounded surfaces and walls of broken irregular shape.
Color spectrum
It is worth considering that in a small limited space, a design in light colors (pale gray, beige) will be more successful. Of course, you can add contrasting details to make the interior more expressive, but a large number of colors in the design of a small room should not be mixed.
In addition to the color of the plumbing (usually white), no more than 2 shades are allowed. An exception is halftones of the same color, which do not stand out, but flow smoothly into each other.
The most spectacular is black and white combination. Moreover, the design does not have to be strict and boring. With the right approach, the interior can become unusual and expressive. The combination of white and gray looks perfect in the toilet.
If such a gamut seems faceless and cold to you, you can add brown or beige tones to the design.
Bright shades are acceptable. However, the design of the toilet walls with blue, pink or bright purple tiles will look a bit outdated. Contrast combinations are in fashion (for example, black or white with yellow). The “dusted” tones of pistachio, olive, and lavender also look good. Luxurious shade of "coffee with milk" in combination with white, mint, dark brown.
Styles
If the interior of the entire apartment is designed in a certain style, the bathroom should not stand out from the overall picture.
- In the Scandinavian style these are snow-white walls interspersed in the interior of gray or black colors. You can refresh the design with small yellow elements. Coziness can be added with a woven rug and wooden doors hiding the hatch.
- Eco-friendly - this is necessarily an imitation of wood. Beige-brown gamma with the addition of juicy greens is relevant here.
- Classic - These are restrained tones (beige, brown, gray, etc.). The decor may be small paintings in frames.
- Minimalism welcomes the clear contrast of black and white. A monochrome design also looks good (for example, a gray stone look with snow-white sanitary ware). Always a good option - a beige design with elements of the color of dark chocolate. As a decor, you can use black and white photos under glass.
- The aesthetics of the loft imitate concrete or wood. In a small space you can combine dark surfaces with large white porcelain stoneware.
Maximum convenience
If possible, be sure to install in the toilet small hanging sink. If space permits, you can place closed cabinets under the washbasin for household chemicals and other items.
The presence of a water source increases the level of hygiene, allowing a person to wash their hands without contacting door handles and without wasting time going to the bathroom.
It is advisable to place a mirror above the sink. This will allow not only to put yourself in order if necessary, but also visually expand the room. Do not forget the bottle with liquid soap and a towel. All of these elements can also become design touches that emphasize the interior.
For example, in minimalism, a mirror may not be rimmed at all. In the classic, a twisted metal frame is permissible. The shape of the faucet, the shelf (if any), and the towel holder should correspond to the style. The sink itself may have an unusual shape.
Mistakes
- Do not make out a small bathroom in dark shades. Black, brown, or dark gray walls in a narrow space will have a “crushing” effect.
- Vertical stripes on the walls of a cramped room is a bad idea. They visually make it even narrower.
- Do not abuse small parts in a small space. Wall lights in combination with vases and other decorative elements can create a sense of clutter.
