You need to complete the toilet design in an original style. In this case, the main thing is to choose the right facing materials for the design of the room. To rationally use the free space, you must follow the useful recommendations and rules. Further in the article will be considered successful ideas for toilet decor.
Important nuances and tips
Before starting work on decorating the toilet, you need to study a number of interesting points:
- The use of plain materials for these events is a bad idea, because the room will turn out uncomfortable and sterile. If the toilet is predominantly white, it means that the room should be slightly diversified with tiles or plastic of a different shade. In addition, designers recommend not to make a black ceiling in the room.
- To visually increase the space, the walls should be sheathed with mirror or glass panels.
- The door must be installed so that it opens outward.
- When thinking about the planned decor of a small toilet, you need to consider that the compact arrangement of the toilet, washbasin, cabinet, mirror and other items is an important requirement, due to which you can free up space in the room. If you ignore this condition, the room will simply be cluttered, and using it will not be particularly convenient. So, for example, it is better to install the toilet in a corner, but not in the center of the wall.
- Do not decorate the room with a fur rug, as bacteria can accumulate in it.
- Engineering communications - sewerage, water supply and wiring - it is better to hide behind plastic panels, if they are lined with the walls of the room. But an equally interesting option is to leave the PVC pipes in sight. Only they should be new, and the old ones can be painted in order to give them a favorable appearance. In any case, obsolete plumbing needs to be replaced with a more modern and compact.
- Designers advise using small but powerful lighting sources (lamps), the brightness of which can be changed using a special regulator.
- When using tiles for wall or floor cladding, it should be put in a joint, since in this way you can reduce cash costs for the purchase of finishing materials.
Everyone has the right to independently choose the general style and color of the room, taking into account personal wishes and tastes, but it is better to listen to the recommendations mentioned in order to result in a harmonious interior. The original decor of a small toilet will be more convenient to arrange if the room is connected to the bathroom. To get a combined bathroom, you need to dismantle the partition between the two rooms.
Toilet design: successful color schemes
This is an important moment in the design of the room. To make a cozy interior, it is best to carry out the room in a cold color, diluted with bright inserts. Successful options are shades of green and blue, and adverse ones are the so-called poisonous tones (for example, black and brown). Red, light green, yellow, bright purple - these colors are better to refresh the overall design of the room.
The toilet, decorated in a golden style, looks unnatural, but splashing this shade into accessories or decoration will give the room an aesthetic appearance. And the black color in combination with white will create a pleasant composition, so the toilet decor in these colors looks great in the photo (for a good example, the picture is shown below).
As you know, with the help of light shades, you can visually increase the space of a room. Finishing the floor with white tiles is a good idea, thanks to which a small toilet will become more spacious outwardly. As a material for wall cladding, wallpaper with an image of an ornament or a pattern on the background of soft tones is also used.
If there are no windows in the room, you can use this to your advantage: design the design in yellow, which will look very original.
Toilets and sinks
Installing beautiful and ergonomic plumbing in a room is a condition that must be observed for a harmonious design. In the construction industry, there are many modern toilets made in various forms. For example, there is a special model whose communications are hidden in the wall, so such plumbing will take up little space.
If the room is small, it is better to abandon the washbasin, because there is no free space for it. When thinking over the decor of the bathtub and toilet, which are connected in one room, it is better to install a compact sink.
For the original design of a small toilet, experts advise using combo-toilet, combining both a bidet and a washbasin. Because of its high price, this device is rarely installed, but in vain: with the help of such multifunctional plumbing in the toilet, you can free up a little space. In addition, combinitase works according to such a useful principle: water from a sink enters its tank.
Another good option for decorating the toilet is the use of hinged type plumbing. In short, compact washbasins and small toilets are ideal for small spaces.
The door is an important part of the decor
Previously, ordinary interior doors were used for toilets, but thanks to modern technologies and materials, modern products have appeared that can be used to create an original opening. When choosing them, you need to consider the following requirements:
- they must have high heat and sound insulation parameters;
- it is better to install them so that they open outward, and not inside the room;
- if you need to make a beautiful decor of the bath and toilet, the doors can be decorated, but for this you need to have certain artistic skills.
Mentioned products are mainly made of wood, metal, glass and fiberboard. In addition, the doors are made according to different methods:
- swing (traditional design) is most often used, because in this case there is no need to expand the opening or re-plan the house;
- sliding door (sliding) is made from any of the mentioned building materials;
- folding technique;
- rolling door - custom design, the production of which uses metal-plastic.
It is better to install a classic door in the toilet, the color of which will correspond to the design of the room.
Proper lighting is the key to quality decoration
This moment is an important condition that seriously affects the design of the room. As a rule, most toilets do not have windows, so you need to make high-quality artificial lighting in the room. If the interior is made in light shades, then it should not be too monotonous, since otherwise the room will resemble a hospital ward.
Designers recommend the use of spot lighting for these purposes, which can be provided by built-in lights. But they need to be installed on the ceiling so that they harmoniously complement the overall style of the room. If the decor of the toilet is dominated by mirror or white surfaces, it means that you do not need to install powerful lamps.
It is best to buy a device for adjusting the brightness of the light (dimmer), with which you can adjust the desired level of lighting. And backlit paintings and mirrors are original decorative objects that often decorate walls.
Tiled Toilet Decor
This is a classic version of the decoration. Tile (ceramic tile) meets all the necessary technical qualities that are needed to carry out the mentioned works. In addition, this material is made in a different design, so its use is a good option for decorating a room. Its advantages include:
- a variety of textures imitating brick, wood, fabric or stone;
- high rate of wear resistance;
- simple installation - you can do your own toilet decor with this finishing material;
- it is not supplied with the negative effects of detergents, which is especially important for a hygienic room;
- long service life (several tens of years);
- It is possible to make a warm floor.
The disadvantage is that the tile has low thermal insulation properties and breaks from falling heavy objects on it.
Coloring is an important criterion that must be considered when choosing a tile for a toilet decor. Designers consider such shades as suitable options:
- For the floor, it is better to use a tile of dark tones, since such a coating is less visible pollution. It is recommended to use beige tile: such a finishing material is combined with any interior.
- If a decision has been made to tile the walls, then for these purposes it is better to use light-colored material.
- The grout must be used in such a tone that it is slightly darker than the tile itself. This is an original idea, because the result is a room that will not be visually overloaded. There is another trick: to simplify the cleaning process, you need to buy a special grout that is immune to dirt.
However, it is not necessary to use a classic tile, since the decor of the toilet with mirror-type tiles is a more original solution. Known methods of facing are considered such options:
- The combination of mirror and ceramic tiles. To get an exquisite design, in this case you need to use a dark tile.
- Finishing the ceiling with mirror tiles is an unusual idea, thanks to which you can not only visually increase the space, but also visually raise the ceiling.
- If the room has a window, you can build a decorative insert opposite it.
The main thing is to use mirror tiles to the best of our ability, because otherwise the room will have a lot of reflection, and this will seriously spoil the overall design of the toilet.
Inexpensive materials for wall decoration
For these works, in addition to tiles, you can use water-based paint. Its advantage is that in the construction store there are many colors of this material, which can be combined with each other to obtain a unique shade. Before painting the walls, they need to be leveled and primed.
It is possible to finish the room with plastic panels. It is a moisture resistant but fragile material, so it should be handled with care. Among the samples sold are original products with a pattern that imitates wood or stone.
Wallpaper is a classic and popular decoration material. If preparatory measures were taken in the room, then they can be immediately glued to the surface. You can use almost any wallpaper to decorate the walls of the toilet, but designers advise you to buy the following types of this material:
- Non-woven consist of two layers. The first is an adhesive base, and the second is made by spraying vinyl. Such wallpapers are moisture resistant, so they can be periodically cleaned of dirt with a wet rag.
- Silicone For decoration it is recommended to use this particular type, since they have high technical indicators and a long service life.
Facing work can be entrusted to specialists or do it yourself. In the photo, the decor of the toilet, whose walls are painted in orange, looks amazing.
Floor Cladding Ideas
Using a moisture resistant laminate is a good option to solve this problem. The flooring made of this material will be warm and comfortable to the touch. As a result, an original room will come out, the walls of which can also be sheathed with laminate. In this case, the toilet will be made in an unusual design, stylized like wood.
A good solution is to use a bulk floor. It will perform not only waterproofing function, but also decorative. But in this case, you will have to invest a considerable amount for his device.
Designers advise using porcelain stoneware for flooring. This is a finishing material that is produced in different imitations and colors. The toilet will look luxurious, the floor of which is made of marble granite.
Ceiling Finish Options
To carry out these works, the following materials are used:
- tile;
- paint;
- plastic panels (PVC).
Painting the ceiling is a cheap and reliable option, but the walls must be leveled before doing this. For the toilet, you need to use paint on a latex or silicate base. As a result, it is better to apply a decorative pattern to such a ceiling to give the room a peculiar design.
Plastic panels must be installed on the frame crate. If the toilet has an uneven ceiling, then this method is considered a good and inexpensive option for decorating the room. In addition, you can choose the panels individually, as they are produced in different shades.
The original idea is the use for this purpose of a stretch ceiling that harmoniously fits into any decor.
