In this place there is always time to think over plans, read books, for which there is rarely a free minute. Here for a moment you can be completely alone, alone with your thoughts. There are few such places, we hope you understand that we are talking about a toilet. A modern toilet should be functional, comfortable and, of course, finished with moisture-resistant materials. To endow it with all of the above properties, it is necessary to correctly approach the design of all surfaces in the toilet - to create a harmonious design for this room.
Small toilet
Most of us have the pleasure of using toilets with limited space, rarely more than 2 square meters. m. In houses with new layouts, the situation looks better, but the number of Khrushchevs against their background still looks frightening. We have to select in such a way that the finish visually increases the cramped area.
A small toilet is not a sentence if the design of tiles and sanitary equipment is harmoniously combined. Live plants can also be a good decoration for this room.
Light colors visually expand the space, but you should not go to extremes - the photo above is an example of unsuccessful minimalism in the design of the toilet.
Small blotches of bright tiles will make the design unique and rich.
The photo above is an example of a successful contrasting tile combination. This design looks stylish and will remain so for many years to come.
Another example of the correct combination of pattern and tile shades. Darker stripes add dimension to the room.
The photo above is another good example of how not to do it. The dark tiles constrict the space of the small toilet of the Khrushchev.
Such a finish is suitable, perhaps, for public toilets - too strict and practical.
In small toilets, in no case should you use excessive decorative elements. It can look funny and tasteless.
Combined bathroom and toilet
A frequent decision in small apartments is the combination of a bathroom and a toilet into one room - a combined bathroom. This is done with one single purpose - to maximize the use of areas. We will not expand on the advantages and disadvantages of this approach, but simply comment on some photos.

In the photos below, we suggest you familiarize yourself with some more design options for the toilet and bathroom. Not all of them deserve your attention, but some techniques can be used when developing your own design project.
The design of small toilets can be original and interesting. , if you show a little effort and imagination. When planning the improvement of rooms, we focus all our abilities on creating a chic interior for a bedroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, forgetting about such essential premises as a toilet and a bathroom. At the same time, we do not spend so little time in them, which is better to spend with comfort. As you know, any restaurant is judged by the toilet. So why do we forget about this important room in our own home?
Many stylish and original solutions, which can be embodied in an ordinary, even the smallest toilet. You just need to be creative.
Choosing a room style
The most ideal option when designing a small toilet is its design in the same style as the rest of the rooms. In this case, when moving from one room to another, there will be no dissonance, and the interior of the apartment will be harmonious. At the same time, so that the interior does not seem monotonous and boring, a fresh interpretation can be introduced into the style.
Let's consider the most popular stylistic solutions and figure out how to bring them to life in a small toilet room. In this case, your imagination is limited by space.
A small Scandinavian style toilet design can be a great solution. It assumes laconic forms and environmental friendliness of textures, combined with the use of natural materials. In this case, it would be appropriate to divide the walls into two horizontal parts. Lower (forming smallest space) we paste over with wallpaper. Perfect option- the use of stripes, for example, alternating light blue with white. Lay out the upper part (forming the largest space) with ordinary white tiles. Such a seemingly banal combination can work wonders with the appearance of the toilet. This solution will not only expand the space, but also emphasize the style of the interior.
Another option to recreate scandinavian style- make an interesting framing of the toilet. For example, for this purpose, you can use boards or a wreath (as in the photo).
This border can be used for other styles as well. If your apartment is designed in modern or hi-tech style, then the wall to which the toilet adjoins can be laid out with tiles in a contrasting color or various futuristic patterns.
Don't forget about accessories
As you know, accessories can transform any, even the most boring, interior. Even if you have tiled the entire room with white tiles, simply decorating it with a bright yellow rug can achieve an incredible effect. You, in addition, will succeed, the style is minimalism in its ideal form.
If space permits, it is advisable to place a compact shelf in the toilet. By placing the necessary toiletries (paper, napkins, towels, etc.) on it, you can make the interior more neat and the placement of objects functional.
Convenient built-in shelves equipped above the sink in the bathroom
In a small room, every centimeter of space should be used wisely. Do not forget about the door: you can place compact shelves on it, or decorate it with posters, paintings, handicraft elements (depending on the style of the interior). Or you can do something original and hang up a comic basketball hoop for the toilet. These toys are now sold in souvenir shops. This will add a touch of irony to the room. So, even if you do not use this ring for its intended purpose, it will still play a role in the interior.
For a small toilet, it is best to choose light colors. This applies not only to the walls, but also to the floor. Give preference to tiles of light colors: beige, pale blue, white, etc. In this case, the ceiling should not be darker than the walls.
Small toilets design: lighting
When planning a design in small toilets, don't forget about lighting. Lighting in the toilet plays an almost paramount role. Since there are no windows in the toilet, it is important to provide sufficient artificial lighting... In addition to the fact that you will not feel comfortable in a room with poor lighting, it will not yet allow all the design innovations in your toilet to open up. On the contrary, the right lighting can save almost any design.
Advice ! When choosing lighting in the toilet, consider the total area and dimensions of the room. For a small toilet, a higher degree of lighting should be provided.
If the lighting is dim, then it threatens that you will feel as if squeezed by the walls.
However, do not think that you are limited in the placement of fixtures. They can be conveniently positioned on the walls, or on the ceiling, or above the door. In this case, you can use several lighting options at once. Depending on the style of the interior, exquisite sconces, chandeliers or small spotlights can be used as lamps. You should also take into account the texture and color of the walls in the toilet, as well as the finishing material.
Spotlights are conveniently placed with a dimmer. In this case, you can change the brightness of the light.
Advice! Try to position the lamp so that they do not shine directly into your eyes. More subdued lighting is suitable if you are the lucky owner of an apartment in a new building. And for "Khrushchev" it is better to use a brighter backlight.
Features of the design of the combined bathroom.
V modern apartments to save space, a combined bathroom is often used. In this case, it would be optimal to apply the zoning of the space, delimiting the toilet area from the shower or bath. If you do not have enough space for a more thorough division of the space (for example, building a partition, installing a cabinet, etc.), then this can be done even with the help of elementary stylistic and color techniques. When delimiting the space, you can beautifully highlight the toilet area using tiles of a special texture or color, which will contrast, or, conversely, harmonize with the shower area (as in the photo).
Small bathrooms require careful planning and placement of plumbing to maximize space savings.
You can visually delimit the space using vertical stripes on the tiles, which can be laid out between the toilet and the bathroom.
How to visually expand the space
Below are some simple tips that will help you visually expand the space and make even a small bathroom comfortable and cozy.
- Avoid using dark tiles. It is also better not to use mosaic tiles. These options, although they look impressive, are completely unsuitable for decorating a small space, visually narrowing it. The best option would be to use light-colored tiles in combination with contrasting bright borders and mirrored surfaces.
- Choose your lighting carefully. Complement the spotlight on the ceiling with a light in the mirror area.
- In a small space, it is better to give up beautiful, but unnecessary accessories that will only clutter it up. Give preference only to practical and functional things.
- The optimal style for a small space is minimalism.
Saving space in the combined bathroom
Even a small bathroom can be visually made more spacious using simple techniques. It is better to give preference to a shower cabin, rather than a classic bath. In this case, you will save a lot of space, which can be used, for example, to install a washing machine. If you cannot imagine life without the ritual of taking a bath, then its usual form can be replaced with an angular one. Take a closer look at wall-mounted toilets. They look not only modern, but also save space.
A shower in the bathroom will also save space.
You will significantly benefit in free space if instead of bulky cabinets you use hinged shelves that can even be mounted on the door.
The countertop with the sink undoubtedly looks modern and stylish, but it is more suitable for spacious bathrooms. So choose sinks standard size... However, this does not mean that you should forget about design. Modern sinks in standard sizes are stylish too. Moreover, they are more practical than countertops. But you will save space on which you can arrange the various pull-out sections. For example, place baskets for various accessories in them. It will look both modern and practical.
Additional niches can be provided on the side of the bathroom, which can be mounted directly into the wall. You can put there as shower gels, shampoos and other necessary little things, or you can decorate the space with candles.
Decorating the combined knot in the Provence style
The design of a small bathroom combined with a toilet even suggests more options rather than a separate bathroom and toilet. Indeed, in the second case, you need to try to maintain a single style in different rooms, which is not always possible. Here you can play with contrasts, or, conversely, make the interior harmonious. Recently, the Provence style has become more and more widespread, which is an ideal solution for a combined bathroom. To recreate it use pastel shades and natural, natural materials... Tiles that imitate stone or wood are ideal.
The main thing is to pay due attention to the accessories. It is they who will add completeness to the look of the room. Place indoors:
- wicker baskets in which you can store various little things;
- wooden shelves and cabinets;
- stock and bathroom rugs with country motifs; Combining light shades with dark shades in a Provence style bathroom

Decorating a combined knot in a retro style
Retro style, which is appropriate not only in the bedroom or living room, but also in the bathroom, does not give up its positions. In this case, the design of the bathroom and toilet will look very original. However, here it will no longer be possible to limit ourselves only to accessories. The bathtub should become the center of the entire interior. It is advisable to give preference to a solid cast-iron version, and if it is also equipped with legs, then there will be no price for it. They can be in the form of lion paws or original curls. The main thing is that the bath does not have a clear outline: give preference to rounded or irregular shapes. Don't forget about faucets. With the help of such a seemingly insignificant detail, you can transform any interior. To create a retro style, use original mixers with large valves that can be decorated with inscriptions (hot / cold). Or look for faucets in the form of original figurines. What are the lamb valves! The washbasin can also be picked up in old style... Brass model - great alternative classic materials.
Contrasting bathroom finishes in retro style
Lockers with imitation of rough wood will ideally fit into such an interior. It is desirable that they are kept in neutral colors: white or brown. Don't forget the lighting elements! Give preference to artificially aged lamps.
Classic retro style in a bright toilet room
When recreating a retro look, don't forget about details like the bathroom curtain and rugs. They should not be knocked out of the interior. The curtains can look like real exquisite curtains. Such options completely mimic the fabric.
Very few people are thinking about a new look for the toilet. But people spend a lot of time in this room and efforts must be made to make it as comfortable and beautiful as possible. In the past, the generally accepted standard was to combine a toilet with a bathroom. In the variant of living with a large family, this option is not convenient. With a little imagination, you can turn this room into a real corner of relaxation and comfort, as in the photo in the article.
In a design project, the following factors must be taken into account:
- selection of material for future decoration;
- color solutions;
- optimization of a small area;
Materials and colors in design
The design of the toilet implies several finishes. For large and small areas are selected different materials on color scheme... For example, in a small toilet it is better to use white - the walls visually "move apart". An interesting option would be to play on contrast, for example: white tiles and opposite combinations or the floor and ceiling are of the same color, and the walls are of a different shade.
Most often used for decoration:
- ceramic tiles that tolerate high humidity well, are easy to clean;
- fiberglass, vinyl, non-woven wallpaper;
- plastic panels or wall.
A couple of tips: if you choose wallpaper, then you shouldn't buy with small flowers, circles, "heavy" patterns - the space will "narrow". In this option, it is better to stick plain wallpaper and decorate the walls with interesting inscriptions or drawings.
Toilet lighting
The best option will equip multiple light sources. Subdued light, as in the photo, will hide the volume and not create an uncomfortable feeling. Excess is also not entirely good. Better to choose the "golden" mean.
Comfort
It is clear that the main role assigned to the toilet. How to make the most of the free space depends only on imagination. It will not be superfluous to equip a small hygienic shower that can be attached anywhere. Installed during plumbing work. The design of the toilet room assumes to hide the drain pipes using lifting roller shutters or swing doors. A popular solution would be to design a ledge or niche. So you can hide plumbing communications and arrange a place for hygiene items.
We decorate and optimize
The interior design of the toilet does not limit the possibilities for optimizing the area. For useful little things, you can hang various shelves, cabinets, hanging open shelving. The mirror will not be a superfluous decorative element. It will look interesting if you do not hang a mirror, but mount several mirror tiles. The photo shows the toilet design in interesting versions. For example, a cabinet with high legs can be placed behind the toilet. Thus, there will be more space, and all the necessary items will be at hand.
Creativity
The design of a toilet in an apartment, with a reasonable approach, does not require large investments. It is possible, and not having a lot of experience, to turn the room of "thoughtfulness" into a real masterpiece of design art. For example, using creative elements: decorate the toilet in an unusual way.

How to choose materials for toilet decoration?
When we hear about interior decoration bathroom or toilet, the first thing that comes to our mind is a tile (or ceramic tile). Many people prefer to use it for cladding these rooms. After all, he will become universal solution main consumer requests:
- moisture resistant (does not get wet);
- practical (easy to clean and wash);
- durable (over time it does not lose its attractiveness and color);
- a wide range of colors and textures;
- with skillful combination, it is able to visually change the space of the room.
If you are not too conservative, then you can not be limited to one tile, there are many other beautiful and equally practical options.
Plastic panels will look no worse than tiles or porcelain stoneware. They also do not get wet and are easily cleaned of all kinds of dirt without losing appearance for its term of use. But if the area of your toilet is small, we do not advise them to decorate the walls - during installation, they use a crate that hides part of the space, which is not much in the toilet of a simple apartment.
The most budgetary and in a simple way they will decorate your bathroom - it is beautiful and inexpensive. But they must also be resistant to high humidity (there must be a corresponding note on the roll about this). The best option would be:
- vinyl;
The latter appeared quite recently, but have already been successfully used in the design of premises. They are applied to the wall using a special roller; after hardening, they must be covered with a water-repellent solution. A wide range of colors and shades will delight you.

About the choice of plumbing and furniture
In order for your bathroom to acquire its unique finished image, you have to make a lot of efforts to design and repair. But everything will be in vain if you are inattentive to the choice of furniture and other necessary accessories for this room. Having chosen high-quality plumbing fixtures, having finished the walls and floors, you can proceed to the selection of various shelves, bedside tables and other functional interior items.
You may find it strange that we have raised such a question - with regards to the design of the toilet, but in fact - this is not just a room where you fulfill your needs. Here you tidy yourself up - by washing your face in the morning, washing your hands before dinner, or brushing your hair and washing off your makeup before bed. But, if there are no mirrors, towels and shelves for everything you need, will you be able to do it? Probably not.
These premises are available in all public places (restaurants, hotels, offices), and private houses and apartments are no exception. Most often, restrooms are located on the ground floor, where it is most convenient for guests to visit them. But in any apartment, a small bathroom combined with a toilet (or both of these rooms separately) needs shelves for storing all these bottles and bubbles, household chemicals, air freshener and more.
Options where cabinets for all sorts of little things are hidden behind wall panels look no less elegant and stylish. The first time you don't even understand that behind the usual wall decoration there is a dimensional shelter for household needs. Such an interior, undoubtedly, remains complete and neat.
When creating a complete image, pay Special attention for the selection of suitable accessories and fittings:
- holders for towels;
- soap dish;
- toothbrush and fragrance stands;
- toilet paper holder;
- brush and stand for it.
"Surely the furniture shouldn't stand out too much from the overall style of the bathroom."
If you have such an opportunity, then order a rack according to your individual dimensions and install it behind the toilet. It will look as if the closet and toilet are a single whole. This is convenient, because there is additional space for storing something.
In addition to the "classic" accessories for the bathroom, all kinds of baskets and boxes for linen, bottles, towels are perfect. This will give the room a cozier, more domesticated look.
A great addition to a washbasin or a sink built into the cabinet, which also serves as additional storage space, will be a large mirror, it will visually expand the space in a large but narrow room.
Undoubtedly, the furniture should not stand out too much from the general style of the bathroom. If you have classic style, as well as retro or country, then prefer wooden furniture.
And if the entire bathroom is made in Hi-Tech or modern style - plastic, glass and metal will be more appropriate.
Color solution for design
We examined the materials of finishing and the choice of furniture. Now I propose to move on to the visual correction of non-standard bathrooms. The main tool will be color. By varying these or those shades, you can expand or narrow the available space.
Using light tones or shades of the cold spectrum (white, silver, blue sky, romantic lilac, pale lemon, purple or pink), you can expand any room. Be sure to use this tip if you have a narrow toilet.
Be careful when using rich and dark tones. Most modern design magazines suggest decorating a bathroom in this style that literally screams with its bright accents. But such a move can significantly narrow your toilet. If you do not want this, then avoid such a choice.
Most often, only a combined bathroom can boast of its spaciousness, when the bathroom and toilet are combined. Less often, if it was conceived in the project during the construction of a private house. But the owners of average apartments are faced with the crampedness of their toilets.
It is equally important to take into account the drawing of the walls when decorating the toilet room. If a large pattern is depicted on them or a massive mosaic is laid out, or even a volumetric photo, then for a clearer perception a room with such a facing should have an impressive size.
If you tiled the bathroom with tiles, then its geometric shape, types of location, and combination with each other will come to your rescue. So, a rectangular tile should be located with the long side along the short wall, which will expand narrow room... But if high ceilings are also added to this, then you will need to make a border of tiles about half the distance between the ceiling and the floor. In this case, the bottom should be darker than the top or brighter.
However, with a low ceiling and sufficient width, it is better to make vertical inserts to pick up a contrasting tile or a bright pattern.
If you have a sufficient amount of finance with a narrow bathroom, then you can, as an option, try to lay tiles diagonally not only on the floor, but also on the walls - this allows you to expand any space, but be prepared for high costs, because there will be a lot of scraps.
Today, tiles have a huge variety of shapes and sizes, so keep in mind that overly small or huge tiles in small interior are unlikely to fit harmoniously. Therefore, be careful and, if this is not justified by the general design, then it is worth excluding such a choice.
No matter how original and creative you decorate your toilet during the renovation, it will be faded and unsympathetic without the right lighting. This is a whole science, but we will try to tell you about the most important thing.
"In any bathroom, not only large sconces located on the walls will look most advantageous, but also the so-called Spotlights under the ceiling or on the floor. "
In principle, here, as in any other room, you should certainly feel comfortable. People who think that it is possible to get by with one weakly shining light bulb will be wrong. When designing lighting, it is important to take into account the size of the room, finishing materials and other design elements.
For example, for a small toilet in "Khrushchev", the lighting should be brighter so that the walls do not "press" on you. But the restroom in new buildings is predominantly suitable for dim light. In any bathroom, not only large sconces located on the walls will look most advantageous, but also the so-called spotlights under the ceiling or on the floor.
Sometimes, using the most common objects, you can recreate an original and unique design without any great effort. In any case, you do not need to overload already small bathroom all kinds of souvenirs, vases and panels. Without them, you can make this room cozy and beautiful.
For more than one year, ceramic tiles or granite and marble slabs have been used as the main material for decoration. And due to the fact that the bathroom in a simple apartment does not differ in its large size, the main task of these materials is to maximize the expansion of the space, varying the location of the plates and the use of colors that enhance this effect. It is also important to select plumbing fixtures of small size, or with a suspended structure.
The main idea is to maximize efficient use small space. The toilet, again, it is better to choose a wall-mounted one. And if there is also a tank built into the wall - great. This will greatly reduce the space occupied by the plumbing.
A room with such an area can accommodate a modest washbasin. A sink suspended from the wall, near which there are towel hooks and small mirror that gives additional volume to the available space.
For wall decoration, light shades or glossy tiles are suitable. Having chosen a completely white color for the walls, do not forget to dilute it with several bright elements so that the overall design does not turn out to be too impersonal and faded.
Having a large area of the bathroom, I want to make it as beautiful as possible and as modern as possible, so that it is convenient and comfortable to use, and its interior becomes not only practical, but also durable.
If your bathroom is combined, then not only the bathtub will perfectly fit into it, but also. From household appliances in the interior, you can use a washing machine, which can be either built-in or located outside the walls and cabinets under the sink. It will perfectly complement the design of the room with all kinds of original jewelry- vases, plates with pictures, photographs and the like.
If a very large space bothers you, you can decorate the walls in dark colors, which will significantly narrow the space. Also, the presence of cabinets and bedside tables will allow you to take empty spaces in the interior.
Large sconces shouldn't be flashy if the toilet has a lot of space.
Knowing that your bathroom does not have a large area, you can easily fix this by using mirrors and spotlights in the design of the walls. Stylish and correctly positioned, they visually expand a narrow room, help to recreate harmony in general interior or in a certain part of it.

Decorating one of the smallest rooms in an apartment - a toilet - is far from the easiest task. It is necessary to use even the smallest area optimally, placing, if possible, also a small sink. At the same time, the design of the toilet consists not only of the choice of finishing material, but also the development of the design of the walls, floor, ceiling, lighting.
Finishing materials
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 be afraid of water, not absorb odors, have a long service life and not change color for a long time. There are not so many such materials. Most often it is ceramic, marble tiles or porcelain stoneware.
Porcelain stoneware in the toilet - for those who do not want ceramic tiles, an excellent way out
The mosaic should be highlighted separately. These small squares look very different. When combined correctly with normal sized tiles, many interesting options can be obtained.
There is one more material that appeared several years ago. it decorative plasters... They are different types with different characteristics. They are also water-repellent, and many of them can be washed many times with brushes. They look modern and serve for years. They are applied to leveled walls with special plastic trowels / spatulas. The disadvantage of this type of toilet finish is the high price. Another unpleasant moment: there are few specialists who can lay decorative plasters at a sufficiently high level. There seems to be nothing complicated, but without experience there are many "jambs" - visible seams, poorly rubbed components, irregularities, etc.
There are more a budget option- finishing with plastic panels. It is, of course, not as durable as the tile, but it costs much less, and it is installed much easier and faster. If you want an inexpensive option, this is it.
Wall plastic panels - an economy version of the toilet design On the left - PVC wall panels in combination with washable wallpaper, on the right - an unusual color
Another cheap way to decorate a toilet is to cover the walls with washable wallpaper. But the durability of such a coating is relatively low, and the prices are not so low. In this case, there is good way- combine plastic panels and wallpaper: trim the lower part with plastic - to a height of about 1.5 m, and paste over the rest of the space with wallpaper.
Choice of color and design
When choosing a color scheme for finishing the toilet, it is necessary to proceed from the general design of the apartment. In principle, the design of the toilet should not fall out of the general concept. But every time to change the tiles in the toilet after the wallpaper has been re-pasted, as if no one will. Therefore, neutral tones are often used - white, beige gray. They are diluted with accessories to match the basic design of the apartment. It turns out a universal option.
Toilet design in neutral colors is the best choice
When choosing a tone - light-dark - first of all, they look at the size of the room. In most apartments, the toilet is small - 2 sq. m, maximum - 3 sq. This does not complicate the situation too much - a similar situation occurs often, solutions are known and worked out.
For a small toilet, a light tile or a combination tile is more suitable. It is advisable to do the combination like this: dark bottom, light top. This division is not fashionable, but it visually makes the room much wider and more spacious. Look at the photo. The red and white toilet appears to be much wider than the beige colors, although in fact they are the same.
Horizontal division gives one more effect: a clear edge, as it were, "breaks down" the walls to the sides, lowering the ceiling. In a narrow and high room, this is the desired effect. If a similar design of a toilet - with a clear division - you do not like 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 execution is different. The combination of black and beige is not as bright as with white, but it is more pleasant for the eyes. The division is also horizontal, but it is not on the same level, besides, the zebra-like tiles on the sides distract attention, also optically "pushing" the walls to the sides.
Two more photo examples. In the right picture, the wall farthest from the entrance has a dark color and a dark stripe on the sides. Visually, the stripe pushes the walls to the sides, but the dark distant wall becomes, as it were, even further. In this case, it is not the most correct decision. It will look better if this wall is lighter than the side ones.
The design of a toilet in a standard apartment in the photo on the left is made using several techniques. The first is a horizontal division of the far wall, which visually brings it closer. The second is vertical stripes on the side walls, which serve the same purpose: to make the room more square, at least visually.
Another method helps to visually make the room not so high - several rows of tiles are laid on the walls, which were used on the floor. It looks good, creating the illusion of lower ceilings.
Interesting vertical stripes. Manufacturers of ceramic tiles also began to produce them in collections (like wallpaper) to make it easier to combine. All their elements go well together, you just need to decide how many different types you will use - two, three or four. Some options for finishing the toilet ceramic tiles can be seen in the photo.
The main color is light beige and two variants of tiles with patterns - one is pronounced, the other is slightly noticeable. A rather complex version of the combined tile in the toilet is three colors, and even inserts with patterns ... A similar design of the toilet should be drawn in design programs, otherwise it may turn out something strange Different combinations are easier and more difficult 
As you can imagine, it is impossible to imagine all the options for toilet design. There are too many options and variations, but we have outlined the main trends and methods.
Plumbing location
As you have seen, in many toilets, even small in size, they try to put a small washbasin. Fortunately, there is plumbing different forms and sizes. For toilets, the so-called mini-options are used. Their depth can be - 20-30 cm, there are straight and angular, so, if you wish, you can find an option for a variety of conditions.
Let's take a look at the most typical ways to locate the sink in the toilet. If the doors are located so that one of the walls is slightly larger, you can put the sink on this wall. In this case, the toilet is placed traditionally - closer to the opposite wall.
With the same layout, you can choose another option - put the toilet (if you wish and the opportunity, and a bidet) along the long wall, and place the mini-sink in the corner.
Another option for the location of plumbing is along the long wall of the toilet and bidet, the sink is in the corner
Just keep in mind that the width of the passage must be at least 60 cm. Otherwise it will be very inconvenient. This means that this option for the location of plumbing can be realized if the width of the toilet room is at least 1.2 m.
You can pick up plumbing for a very narrow and small toilet, no more than 2 square meters. m. There are models of toilets that can be placed in a corner. It can be perfectly combined with a corner sink.

Color and type
In most cases, plumbing is chosen white... But maybe she different colors: red, black, pink, etc. Another thing is that colored toilets or washbasins are delivered mainly to order, and you have to wait for them for several weeks. But any color can be purchased.
If 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 on the floor, it does not look so massive, it is more convenient for cleaning. Its downside is the high price. For its installation, a sufficiently strong base is required, which is hidden behind a bezel. This wall can be made:

The principle of installing a console toilet is demonstrated in the video. The sequence of actions is clearly and clearly described.
Toilet lighting
Traditionally, ceiling lighting is made in the toilet - one light bulb, and not very powerful, is enough for a small space. But lighting is also one of the design methods that can play up even simple tiles to create interesting lighting effects.
You should not refuse the light source at the top, you can just add a few lamps in the interior. If you have shelves, make them backlit. For this purpose, it is more convenient to use It, 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 the lamps in the wall. These may be ordinary built-in models, but they look very unusual on the wall (pictured on the right).
