For anyone who is concerned about the upcoming renovation or reconstruction of a toilet room, we offer a selection of 60 interesting design projects that we have collected for homeowners with different taste and stylistic preferences, in a wide range of color schemes and for different financial budget levels.
When starting to plan a toilet renovation, it is important to remember that in addition to aesthetic appeal, all materials used to decorate the room must be resistant to moisture, easy and quick to clean, and withstand the effects of chemical cleaning agents.
Currently, the market for finishing materials for bathrooms offers a wide selection of all kinds of products that meet all the requirements for presence in a small but important functional segment of the home. Starting with ceramic tiles and ending with moisture-resistant wallpaper, laminated panels, glass and plastic - everything works to create a unique, practical and rational design of utilitarian premises.
Let's take a closer look at the design projects of toilet rooms with different types of finishes, colors and stylistic trends.
Snow-white finish - cleanliness and freshness for small rooms
The toilet is a room that, like no other utilitarian space in a house or apartment, needs to create a fresh, almost sterile atmosphere. Of course, a light color palette in the decoration of the toilet room will lead to a feeling of cleanliness and comfort. Considering the small size of the room, the white color in the design will also help in visually expanding the space.
In order not to make the toilet look similar to a sterile operating room, add a couple of accents in other colors to the snow-white interior, not necessarily very bright or contrasting, just a small section of the wall, decorated with a material different from the main one.
An alternative to a snow-white shade can be colors from the pastel group; light and delicate shades will look advantageous together with white sanitary ware and the warm color of decorative elements.
Combining white ceramic tiles and light-colored wallpaper with an unobtrusive pattern can be an excellent option for decorating a small space.
When creating a modern bathroom interior, many designers try to hide as many communications and engineering systems as possible behind false panels or use built-in plumbing options. But some professionals, who are drawn to the retro style, prefer to deliberately display all communication systems, presenting them as part of the decor, and not just a functional segment.
The use of light-colored marble tiles adds a touch of luxury to the interior. The use of an artificial analogue will be an equally successful way of finishing in terms of appearance; modern technologies make it possible to achieve absolute identity. The differences remain only in such material properties as strength, wear resistance and manufacturability.
When decorating a toilet room, you can completely dispense with the use of stone or ceramic tiles, and this slightly oriental design is an example of this. The contrasting combination of dark wood and snow-white walls and ceilings created a room filled with light, cleanliness and spaciousness, which only a utilitarian room is capable of.
Dark color palette for an original toilet design
Against the background of a dark finish, snow-white plumbing looks even cleaner and sparkling. For those homeowners whose toilet size allows the use of dark colors to decorate surfaces, we offer several unusual interior options for a room with a toilet.
The contrast that can be achieved by integrating snow-white plumbing into the frame of a dark room creates a truly interesting design.
Dark, deep shades in wall decoration go well with light flooring. To visually expand the space, you can use mirror, glass and glossy surfaces.
The dark gray walls of the bathroom became a contrasting addition to the snow-white floor and ceiling; original decorative items and lighting complemented the minimalist atmosphere.
The almost black decoration of the room became the backdrop for the unusually shaped toilet and the most beautiful piece of decor, which is the focal point of this small but interesting, from a design point of view, room.
This powder room is an example of how you can successfully combine dark shades with a natural, warm palette to decorate all surfaces of the room. The interior, with a slightly Asian twist, gives the impression of luxury and wealth.
Despite the use of a rather dark color palette to decorate the room, it does not look gloomy. Combining different materials and their colors made it possible to create an interesting design filled with chic and brilliance. Decorative items and the unusual design of a large chandelier played an important role in creating an interesting interior.
Bright interior of the toilet room - finishing features
For everyone who is not ready to put up with the snow-white surfaces of sterile bathrooms and prefers to refrain from using dark colors in the interior of any rooms - our next block of toilet design projects.
Why not use bright, rich colors of tiles or wallpaper to decorate bathroom surfaces? If the size of the room allows it, and your taste preferences lean toward a spectrum of bright colors, you need to act based on your own preferences, without looking at trends and modern trends in the field of interior design.
By combining white ceramic metro tiles and wallpaper with a bright active print, you can create a festive, but at the same time practical wall decoration. The white and black floor covering and a similar design option for the edges of the facing tiles became a harmonious completion of the image of the toilet.
Another example of using the combinatorics of white and colored surfaces in the toilet room. Thanks to unusual decorative elements, it was possible to create a truly non-trivial room design.
Using mosaic tiles, which are produced in small glued blocks for ease of cladding, you can create interesting inserts and panels against the background of light-colored toilet walls. Mosaic tiles are also convenient because they allow you to cover uneven surfaces, curves and arched niches, and protrusions.
Thanks to the abundance of mirror surfaces, the lighting system and unusual decorative elements, it was possible to create a truly interesting interior design for the toilet room.
Combining wallpaper with a variegated pattern and mosaic tiles in wall decoration allows you to create an interesting and non-trivial background for plumbing fixtures in white tones.
A bright, scarlet accent wall became the center of attention, because quite large decorative items were placed against its background. The slightly decadent atmosphere was complemented by a mirror in a carved frame.
By using wood paneling and painting on the glass partition, we were able to present an interesting, unusual design for the toilet room.
The interior of this toilet room cannot be called bright; rather, it is sparkling and brilliant. The corrugated mirror surface became a way to present an accent wall.
An alternative to covering toilet walls with ceramic or stone tiles is to use textile wallpaper, which tolerates moisture well and is easy to clean. In addition, the surfaces exposed to the greatest amount of water – above the sink – are lined with natural stone. A bright piece of art became a successful chord in completing the extraordinary design of the bathroom.
Just three neutral shades used to decorate the toilet made it possible to create an interesting design for a small room.
Unusually shaped toilets as a way to diversify bathroom design
We bring to your attention several images of toilet rooms, in which the center of attention was not the decoration of the room, but the main piece of plumbing for any toilet - the toilet. Square or rectangular, oval and egg-shaped, built-in and hanging, miniature or, on the contrary, large-scale models of plumbing fixtures have become highlights when creating interiors for home utilitarian premises.
Minimalism as an option for arranging a small room
No other interior style is as suitable for modest-sized rooms as minimalism. Modesty and austerity of the decor is preferable for small enclosed spaces, and in city apartments, toilets are just such small rooms. In addition, monitoring the cleanliness of a room in which there is no unnecessary decor, and from all the furnishings there are only plumbing fixtures, is much simpler and more effective.
Wood and stone always go well together in the decoration of rooms, even utilitarian ones. Natural materials with opposite – cool and warm energy – bring a calming atmosphere to any interior.
Only the variety in the decoration of the room and the contrasting shades attract our attention in this toilet room. No unnecessary decorative items or plumbing accessories, flowers or shelves. Only a combination of smooth snow-white surfaces with wooden slatted wall finishing techniques.
And finally, two images of toilet rooms, created specifically for book lovers, for whom the toilet is like an office. For some homeowners, the closet is the only place where walls or shelves can be used to display collectibles or souvenirs brought from various travels.
Creating a competent design for a small toilet is a problem that owners of secondary housing most often face. New buildings have long solved the problem of a small toilet by increasing space. In any case, if you are not very lucky with the footage, then a competent design of a small toilet is quite capable of smoothing out the situation.
Where to start renovating a toilet
The design of a small toilet should begin with defining the general concept. It is necessary to choose a direction, taking into account compatibility with the style of the entire apartment and the bathroom in particular. Now, with the advent of the Internet, it is quite easy to choose something suitable; you can copy the idea by changing the colors and some materials.
In addition to defining the concept, you should draw up a specific project, where you indicate what type of toilet there will be, what kind of sink it will be, the type of materials used, the size of the room, the type of doors, etc.
You will have to determine the color scheme
At the initial stage, it is necessary to calculate the consumption for the selected materials to make the purchase easier.
Helpful advice: purchases should be made of all materials at once, preferably in one place, since sellers often provide good discounts to wholesale buyers.
Criteria for choosing finishing materials for the toilet
The task of designing a small toilet is to increase the space visually and functionally. Conventional decorating techniques do not work here. For example, it is not advisable to use wallpaper, no matter how much it increases the space. Mirrors, although they will undoubtedly increase the visual space, but what will it be like to observe yourself from the outside. The most hygienic material for toilets was and remains tiles.

Now there is such a variety of sizes, colors and textures of this material that there is room for your imagination to run wild.
The design of a small toilet will be more impressive if you use two different, not very dark colors.
With the walls it is more or less clear; here the increase in space will depend on the color of the finishing material and the combination with other surfaces. But what to do with the floor? It is also better to finish it with porcelain stoneware or tiles. Although, self-leveling floors have recently gained popularity.
It should be noted that to visually expand the space, the floor must be darker than the walls; it is better to lay the tiles diagonally. There should be no ornaments or large designs on the floor. True, this principle does not work for polymer floors with a three-dimensional effect, since any pattern of this type adds depth and a feeling of additional space.
Any glossy coating is also suitable for the ceiling, so it will look higher. It is better to make the top plain. Massive lamps, flashlights and sconces should not be used.
Choosing plumbing fixtures for a small toilet
The choice of plumbing fixtures for the design of a small toilet is limited by size. The color can be any, but the color of the plumbing fixtures in the same shade as the walls will look most harmonious. Alternatively, you can use a wall-hung toilet. It is permissible to include a sink in the design of a small toilet, but it must be a mini format.

That's all, leaving windows for shutting off valves in case of need and for meters, if they are located here. To do this, the easiest way is to use plasterboard structures, which take up a minimum of space during installation.

Useful tips
For the full effect of expanding space, it is preferable to use a sliding door in the design of a small toilet. If this is not possible, then you should choose a light-colored door, preferably with glass inserts, without ornament. A rug on the floor in the toilet is not advisable; a “warm floor” would be more suitable. But if you had to buy it, then the size should be minimal, the color of the walls should be lighter, and without drawings or inscriptions.
To complete the ambience, chrome fittings are used. This option looks like a mirror and seems to dissolve in space. All metal design details of a small toilet should be in this style:
As a result, I would like to assure you that if you choose the right materials, colors, designs, lighting, then the most inconspicuous and small bathroom will turn into a spacious, stylish and attractive common room.
Layout of a small bathroom
The layout of a compact toilet depends on the size of the room and the possibility of expansion through the corridor. If demolition of walls is not included in the plans, then you can resort to other measures.
- Remove the washing machine from the small toilet (move it to the bathroom or kitchen).
- Installing a wall-hung toilet that fits any small interior saves space, and all its communications are hidden.
- Instead of cabinets for storing cleaning and disinfectants, use a niche above the toilet.
- If more than 4 people live in the house, then for the convenience of getting ready in the morning, you can put a sink in the bathroom.
- The door should open without obstacles.
- A glossy floor, walls or ceiling will reflect light and visually enlarge the interior of a small toilet.
Wall decoration
The interior decoration of a small toilet can be varied, depending on the renovation budget.
Wallpaper
There are no windows in the toilet, but there is relatively high humidity, so you need to choose vinyl wallpaper with non-woven backing, which is moisture resistant. The walls must first be leveled and treated with an antifungal solution.
The design can be floral, patterned or geometric. You can also wallpaper it in different colors, for example, green and white wallpaper to visually enlarge the interior of a small toilet.
In the photo, the walls are decorated with vinyl wallpaper in dark and light shades, which emphasize the interior of a small bathroom in a classic style.
Photo wallpaper
With photo wallpaper you can highlight one or two walls of the toilet against a plain background of neutral wallpaper without a pattern. Images are suitable based on the style of the interior, for example, for a marine style, an image of waves or a beach is suitable. This could be a landscape, rivers, sea animals, mountains.
Tile
It is better to choose large and medium-sized tiles; you should avoid small tiles (mosaics). With glossy tiles, the floor should be matte, and vice versa. The tiles can be separated by friezes, laid parallel, in a checkerboard pattern and diagonally in order to hide the non-parallelism of the walls.
In the photo, the walls and floor are decorated with large tiles; the cabinet is built into the wall and does not protrude above the toilet to save space.
For liquid wallpaper, the surface must be puttied and primed. After applying the wallpaper, let it dry and apply a protective layer of acrylic-based varnish. Interspersed with sparkles and silk threads will give the walls of a small toilet an interesting look.
Laminate
Laminate can be glued directly to the wall, then the space will be hidden no more than when laying tiles. You can use laminate to decorate one wall, part of it, or completely make the wooden interior of a small toilet, but then you need to select different colors of wood for the floor and walls.
Dye
The paint must be resistant to moisture and have antibacterial properties. Water-based paint with an acrylic, latex, or silicone composition is suitable. Surfaces can be painted in two colors in different ways:
- visually separate the bottom and top of the walls;
- make a careless border of color transition like strokes or a smooth amber;
- paint opposite walls in different colors;
- make the wall behind the toilet contrasting.
The photo shows the interior of a small modern bathroom with light painted walls and laminate flooring, where white trim adds space.
Panels
The panels will hide 5 cm of the wall on each side, but will hide obvious uneven surfaces. Plastic panels save budget and time spent. When installed correctly, PVC does not allow moisture to pass through and does not contribute to the formation of fungus.
Combined finishing
The combination of two finishing materials is often found in the interiors of a small toilet without a bathtub. Common combinations:
- tiles and paint;
- tiles and liquid wallpaper;
- tiles and wallpaper;
- wood panels and paint.
Flooring
The main requirement for materials for finishing the floor is that it is not slippery and can withstand moisture well.
Tile
The tiles can be stone or porcelain stoneware; light shades are preferred. The floor can be a single color, with a design of different sizes and laying methods; wood-effect tiles are also popular.
Laminate
The laminate must be of a water-resistant class with impregnated edges, a protective top layer and a moisture-resistant PVC backing; the cork backing will absorb moisture.
The photo shows the interior of a small bathroom with laminate flooring in brown tones, which matches the color of the sink.
If linoleum is installed correctly, it will not accumulate dust and fungus underneath. It needs to be laid on a flat surface, glued and sealed with a plinth adjacent to the wall (or use a rubberized plinth). You should choose commercial grade linoleum with increased wear resistance.
Self-leveling floor
Self-leveling flooring made from a self-leveling mixture of cement, sand, gypsum can be epoxy, polyurethane, white, gray, transparent, with a 3D pattern.
Ceiling decoration
Stretch ceiling
Stretch ceilings are not afraid of moisture, are easy to maintain, can be glossy and reflect light, and are available in a wide range. For a small toilet interior, it is better to choose a single-level fabric.
Panels
MDF or PVC panels are suitable for economical finishing. There are seamless panels with visible seams.
Dye
Paint for the interior of a small toilet should be chosen in light shades (white, gray, sand, rosy, blue). The paint is applied either water-based or water-dispersion (acrylic and latex) with antifungal additives.
In the photo on the left, the walls and ceiling are painted with the same paint, which creates the effect of a continuation of the wall. White lighting reflects off a white surface and adds space.
Drywall
A plasterboard ceiling hides 5-7 cm of the distance of a small toilet, but also hides the interfloor slab or ceiling unevenness. You can make a niche or a backlit wave out of drywall. It can be repainted and thereby change the interior of the toilet.
Selection of plumbing fixtures and furniture
Plumbing fixtures in a narrow toilet should be small, not clutter up the space and remain functional.
Sink
For convenience and hygiene, you can install a sink in a small toilet that does not take up much space. The sink can be corner and placed above the cistern, square or rectangular. Faucets are also made in small sizes. The sink can be wall-hung, corner, or with a bedside table.
In the photo on the left there is a wall-hung sink and toilet in the same color with gold-plated fittings to match the classic white and purple bathroom interior.
Toilet
The toilet can be installed in the classic version - in the center against the wall, or in a corner. Compact installation toilets present no difficulties, look miniature, and do not take up much space. There are floor, hanging, corner.
Color can be standard white, black, red, blue. If the interior of a small bathroom is themed or monochromatic, then the emphasis can be placed not on the wall, but on the color of the toilet. For example, a red toilet will suit a red, white, or black toilet interior.
Furniture
In addition to plumbing, it is better to avoid placing a washing machine and cabinets in a compact toilet. You can limit yourself to a wall cabinet or shelf, a niche for storing paper and cleaning products.
Lighting and decor items
Lighting
Lighting should be basic and local. For basic lighting, lamps built into the ceiling with a frosted glass shade or small spotlights are suitable. Sockets and switches must be drip-proof. Decorative lighting can be along the ceiling, along the baseboard of any color.
The photo shows a combination of main, niche and decorative lighting in a small bathroom in a brown-beige interior.
Decor
There should not be a lot of decorative accessories in a small interior, but decorative tiles with a pattern, highlighting a color accent on the walls, a colored toilet lid, a soap dish, and framed paintings are acceptable. To increase the space near the front wall, you can hang a mirror from the middle of the wall to the ceiling.
Color solution
Color design ideas do not depend on the size of the room, since any color has several subtones that are suitable for a narrow or small toilet.
White
White color in the interior of bathrooms is more common than others; it makes the toilet lighter and more spacious. Combines with other pastel and bright shades: black, grass, scarlet, beige. The emphasis can be placed on a color installation. Milky and ivory shades are similar.
Black
The black interior is combined with white sanitary ware. Combines with gray, scarlet, amber colors.
Black and white
The black and white interior of a small toilet is combined with contrast. The ceiling and floor can be white, and the walls are laid with black and white herringbone or checkerboard tiles. Combinations and proportions vary in different ways.
In the photo, snow-white plumbing fixtures and glossy black decorative tiles create an organic look to the interior, where cool lighting plays a big role.
Green
Green color is reminiscent of nature, combined with coffee, white, beige, and gold colors.
Yellow
The yellow interior of a small bathroom does not overload, fills the room with warmth, and is combined with cornflower blue, black, and lilac.
Grey
The gray interior along with the chrome faucet, buttons, and metallic finish create a modern style. Combines with white, pink, black.
In the photo on the left there is a gray and white toilet with an installation and a washbasin, where communications are hidden under a niche and serve as an additional shelf-table.
Red
It is better to dilute the red color with white plumbing fixtures, black or yellow decorative items. Goes well with white.
Beige and brown
Beige and brown are successfully combined in a small space, complemented by yellow, white, and sand colors. Dark brown wood can be combined with beige paint.
Blue
Blue is popular in combination with blue, white, emerald, and black. The tiles, toilet bowl, and lighting can be blue.

Photo gallery
The interior of a small bathroom can be changed not only by combining it with a bathtub, but also by using the layout of the room, as well as color selection. Below are photo examples of small toilet design.
Each apartment has one room, distinguished by its ugliness and small area - a toilet. A minimum of attention is paid to its arrangement, since with a small square footage, it is impossible to use some design solutions here. But, using some tips for designing a small toilet, everyone will make it brighter, more attractive and this can be seen in the photo.
When planning renovations, it is important to take into account its hygienic safety in the future and use only high-quality and convenient materials for decoration. Select only wear-resistant items that are resistant to chemical treatment. This is achieved through independent planning of repairs.
In our country, there are many apartments built decades ago, the so-called “Khrushchev buildings”. A distinctive feature of the layout of these apartments is the small space reserved for the bathroom. A bath and toilet are combined in an area of 2.5 m. Many people wonder how anything can be changed if “there is no room to turn around”? Can.
Color selection
First of all, you should choose a suitable color scheme for the future interior. Advice: using a light palette, you will achieve a visual expansion of the space. Dark shades are used as a frame. Designers advise choosing:
- All shades of gray;
- Beige - milky;
- Persikov;
- Yellow or sand;
- Mother of pearl and marble.
A classic of the genre, the use of ceramic tiles is easy to care for, immune to chemicals and does not absorb “amber.” An alternative to tiles are plastic panels. They are used constantly for this purpose, because it is known that such cladding visually expands the room.
Small toilet design - spatial solution
With only a few square meters, you can place some very interesting details on them. For example, paintings, panels or other wall decorations. To do this, the upper part of the walls is covered with a plain cloth, and for the lower part we use a texture with a pattern. Each of the two parts is united by one color scheme. The resulting interior is decorated with shelves, mirrors, etc. Wall cabinets are a good choice. They are great for solving small storage problems, and if they have frosted glass, it will create a light and free aura.
Floor coverings
Tile in bathrooms is unrivaled, although other materials are also used for flooring in a small toilet. Once you settle on a tile, use a square or rectangular shape. An interesting solution is tiles with a parquet pattern. Thus, the floor will become beautiful and stylish. A pleasant addition to it is the heated floor system.
If the tiles become boring, you can cover the floor with carpet. Using this material creates coziness, and a wide range of colors selects an option for every design decision.
Lighting
Designing a small toilet also involves proper lighting. The familiar ceiling lamp over the door is still relevant, especially if the original design is used. But here it’s worth buying a special, moisture-resistant lamp, because even in such small toilets there is high humidity.
Another option is to install several small lamps around the perimeter of the room. It is both economically beneficial and simply beautiful. When selecting lighting options for the toilet, designers calculate the possibility of good and stylish lighting. At the same time, it is important to focus light on certain areas and elements, thereby creating a modern and effective style. It is recommended to install halogen or spotlights; they create a peaceful light that is not harsh on the eyes.
Decorative solution for walls
A small toilet space limits our possibilities, but this does not mean that drawings or ornaments cannot be used to decorate the walls. However, here you need to be careful and not overdo it, otherwise the room will become visually even smaller and heavier. It is quite acceptable to use a mosaic, and choose a pattern of low contrast, but large in size. Use ordinary ceramics in two shades of the same range. One is muted, the second is bright. The size of the tile itself is determined based on the size of the entire room. Ceramics should not clutter, but rather create a feeling of lightness, visually expanding the boundaries of the room.
Important, large tiles visually reduce space.
Plastic panels - toilet cladding
Use plastic panels to decorate the walls of a small toilet. This option does not require special construction skills and is also cost-effective. The textured features of PVC panels imitate the features of various facing materials. This allows you to decorate the toilet in an original or extravagant and sometimes unexpected way. To do this, carry out initial calculations, clean the walls and purchase special glue. If the walls are not perfectly smooth, lathing will be required. But this is also easy to do.
Other options for decorating the toilet
You can also wallpaper the toilet! Use liquid, vinyl or washable options. Liquid wallpaper must be applied to a previously cleaned, primed surface. Advice, Coat the top of the finished cladding with varnish, this will ensure shine and excellent operating parameters.
An inexpensive but beautiful option is washable wallpaper. Vinyl ones will last an order of magnitude longer, but their cost is higher.
Advice, when selecting facing materials for the toilet, take into account the ease of cleaning during use of the room. Therefore, rely on this criterion when planning repairs. Naturally, tiles take the leading position here, but you shouldn’t drape the wall right up to the ceiling; you can lay tiles up to the middle, and paint over the rest or wallpaper it.
It is beneficial to use paint as a finishing material. But buy only high-quality ones with a high level of moisture resistance. This approach saves not only money, but also space. The tile “eats” at least 6 cm, while paint is a third less.
Architectural nuances
Decorating a small toilet can be challenging, so the decision on architectural style must be carefully considered. When creating a classic interior, you need to use elements that imitate noble and expensive materials. Tiles with Greek or Egyptian patterns are an excellent solution; use designs with curved or ornate designs. This will give the interior nobility, and the Rococo style is created using cool colors with an antique effect.
If you are attracted by a spectacular, non-standard design, you should abandon the usual milky beige or brown colors. Use strong, expressive colors. But since the space is small, don’t overdo it. As an option: rich green, alternating with light green. The interior is created in horizontal lines. Or use pure white tiles, with inserts of any other shade (sand, purple or black).
A good solution to expand the room is to combine a bathroom with a bathtub. A wide range of design possibilities are used here. There are also glass partitions, screens and curtains; all this is an excellent decorative element, but at the same time visually separates the rooms without unnecessary clutter.
Direct repair
Since we are talking about a small room, we are not talking about inflated material costs. A simple design solution requires the use of at least two shades and two types of tiles. And here the accuracy of calculations is required, and this is easy to do. For example, to tile a room, you need to measure the area requiring finishing and divide the result by the area of the tile.
Since the room is very small, great attention is paid to saving space and when it comes to the toilet, preference is most often given to wall-hung or corner models. This ergonomics is combined with small or corner sinks.
Doors
A lot depends on the doors in the toilets, because the final result largely depends on which model is installed. It is very important that the interior design of the entire decor is in harmony with the selected door. The color factor and style are taken into account here. Remember, the appearance of the door is reflected in the hallway.
When choosing a door, consider humidity. The material may subsequently become deformed. It is recommended to use plastic options. Although, if it is possible to buy a wooden door of appropriate quality, then give preference to it. But at the same time, buy a model designed for installation in rooms with high humidity. The door will not warp, it is aesthetically pleasing and will last for many years.
Pipes
Each toilet has a sewerage system and pipes. And their presence spoils the appearance. They can be hidden by creating a box from plasterboard. It can later be made one of the design elements.
The exhaust vent is decorated in the most convenient way (based on the general style). For example, using a peach or sand shade, cover the hood window with brown shutters or blinds. The ornament should be the same color. This will create a single space, nothing will be superfluous and everything will be in its place.
Solve space problems - it's not difficult and there are materials to help you do it yourself. You will create conditions for yourself where you will feel comfortable and cozy. The toilet is a part of a person’s life; he spends a third of his time in it. It is possible and necessary to create harmony even here.
Most often, in modern apartments and houses you can see a unique housing layout, in which the bathroom does not take up too much space. This approach is quite practical and rational. Despite the minimal size of the room, a small toilet can be decorated stylishly and comfortably. To do this, you need to take a responsible approach to the choice of style, color scheme, plumbing and lighting. It is these important points that our article will talk about.
Choosing an interior style
The main mistakes when creating the design of a small toilet are too bright a palette of colors, an abundance of decor and a lack of overall balance. We will consider those style directions that will fit most harmoniously into a small area.
Small toilet in minimalist style
Functional simplicity and comfort are the ideal combination for a small toilet. Minimalism includes soft contrasts of light and dark shades (coffee and peach, white and gray, yellow and green), natural finishing materials (glass, wood, stone), as well as the absence of bulky decorations, which can be replaced by compact decorative lamps and panels on the ceiling.
Small toilet in classic style
The toilet should be decorated in a classic style if the overall interior design is made in such a luxurious direction. Large chandeliers, ancient statues and metal mosaics will not be relevant for a small room. It is worth giving preference to antique sink shapes, antique mirrors and marble floors.
Small toilet in Provence style
The elegance of each individual detail and light color scheme can give a small toilet additional lightness and space. It is necessary to pay attention to textiles and decor. Preference should be given to linen towels and rugs, as well as paintings and mosaics that include floral elements and discreet ornaments.
Small toilet in eco-style
The name of this design largely speaks for itself. Ecological finishing materials and textiles will highlight the uniqueness of the room, and minimalist stone souvenirs and ceramic tiles will make the atmosphere more stylish. Colors should be as consistent as possible and harmonious with each other.
Small toilet in loft style
Industrial notes in design are becoming more and more popular every year. This is not surprising, because for a modern person, not only aesthetic, but also practical aspects are important. The ideal option for a small loft-style toilet is flat facades, wooden elements, a wall-mounted toilet and brick finishing on one of the walls. It will look simple, original and comfortable.
Color palette
The right choice of shade for a small toilet can smooth out any imperfections, visually enlarge the space and emphasize its advantages.
White small toilet
The most optimal option for a small space, not only in terms of aesthetics, but also from the point of view of rationality. Snow-white tones can amazingly visually expand an area, making it more spacious. To prevent the room from looking too strict, you can use lamps of unusual shapes, a sink with designer patterns, or textiles with bright elements.
Green small toilet
The olive color of the walls will harmonize perfectly with yellow, pink, beige, peach, and gray. This combination of two desired shades (with a predominance of green) can create a special stylish atmosphere without the use of additional decor.
Brown small toilet
Coffee shades in toilet design always look stylish and expensive. The main thing is not to overdo it. Brown colors look great in combination with metal and wooden decorative elements, as well as with snow-white plumbing fixtures, which will visually appear even whiter. A harmonious combination of contrasts will create a special style of bathroom interior.
Blue small toilet
Sky colors can appear either cool or warm. It all depends on the desired effect. There are many options for decorating a toilet using a blue tint. This could be blue and white mosaics on the walls, delicate turquoise wallpaper or marine patterns on the floor.
Yellow small toilet
Sunny colors go well with all other bright and neutral shades. The best options are yellow with turquoise, yellow with white and yellow with olive. Plain sand motifs can be diluted with bright textiles and LED strips built into the mirror.
Finishes and materials
The main rule for good design of a small toilet is to follow the rules that will help visually lengthen and expand the space thanks to individual elements.
Floor
A small area of the toilet can be covered with a single-color self-leveling floor, reminiscent of gloss, which, in combination with light, will give the room additional space. The ideal choice is 6 or 8-angled tiles with small patterns. Large drawings and bulky ornaments will make the toilet even narrower, so you should avoid them. The color scheme can be monochromatic, or it can combine two shades of the same color (cold and warm).
Walls
An original and practical type of wall covering for a small toilet can be plastic/wooden panels, glazed ceramics, vinyl wallpaper or decorative stone. In the design, you should give preference to calm shades (sand, beige, white, blue, gray), as well as zoning bright and neutral tones. For example, white with gray, black with white, green with light green. This simple move will also help visually expand the space.
Ceiling
One of the most successful options for a small toilet can be considered a suspended ceiling (PVC film). Among its subspecies you can find glossy, silk, matte, pearl. The main thing is not to forget that the high quality of the ceiling and the overall design of the toilet can only be appreciated in combination with good basic and additional lighting.
Lighting and decor
Many people think that the smaller the room, the fewer light sources are needed. This is wrong. One single lamp will not be able to cover all corners of the room. A good option is mini spotlights, which can be built into the center of the ceiling or along an extended row. Also, an LED strip for a mirror or floor lighting can become an additional stylish spotlight. Then the room will look small and cozy, and not narrow and gloomy.
Original and practical decorative elements for a small toilet can be unusual towel organizers, soap dishes, small lamps of non-standard shapes, mirrors and even plants that do not require too much light (cyperus, cactus, ficus).
