Design of a bathroom with a toilet

The attitude to the bathroom combined with the toilet is ambiguous. Many people prefer a shared bathroom due to the fact that it is more convenient to use if there are several people in the family. And also there is no need to worry about the smell in the bathroom and the dampness in the toilet. But there are those who prefer a combined bathroom. A huge plus is a significant increase in space, which allows you to place all the necessary modern appliances for a comfortable life.

First stage planning

First of all, it is necessary to think over the items that are needed in this room and those that can fit there. And this is far from the same thing. One always has to proceed from the size of the room and then, in order of importance, to arrange objects. But the most important requirement for absolutely all items in the bathroom is moisture resistance.

What are the requirements for modern bathrooms, especially combined with a toilet?

1. hygiene;
2. water resistance;
3. ventilation;
4. practicality;
5. reliability;
6. comfort.

So, having determined the requirements for furniture, plumbing and materials, we will understand what we need in this room: the bathtub or shower cabin, washbasin, mirror, cabinets or bedside tables, laundry baskets, a washing machine and more and more drying machines for towels. If the area allows, then a bidet is also placed here, as well as various accessories. This begs the question: how to place it, and even so that it doesn’t catch your eye, is this a huge number of plumbing pipes and similar items, as well as the bathroom furniture itself? For all this, in our time there are many devices: pipes under the sink are hidden in a special cabinet - both beautiful and practical; the bathtub is closed with special screens - it can be with sliding doors, it can be without, and it can also be brickwork, wild stone or any other material.

Gutters located behind the toilet can also be hidden by a special box. And on top of this box itself you can place the necessary bathroom accessories: towels, tubes, shampoos, creams and so on. Even the window sill serves many instead of the shelf, it can even be specially made wide so that more objects fit.

In a bathroom combined with a toilet, which is small in size, any free corners are often used

The category of economical appliances also include angular vertical shelves that can be placed in the corner of the bathroom. They are mounted on the corner of the bathtub and stretch upward, having an L-shaped shape that adapts to the junction of two walls.

To save space, very often they choose a shower cabin instead of a bathroom, but it does not simplify the appearance of your bathroom, because in our time there are many models and designs, from the simplest to elegant and even extravagant.

Any part of any room can reflect the essence of the owner’s character.

By the way, the lid on the toilet can be made soft, this will make the interior of the room unusual and interesting, and it will also just be comfortable to sit there during some hygiene procedures.

You can also use the space of the wall with the window: it will not be possible to place wall cabinets (the window interferes), but the long low cabinet along this wall will be very successful and useful.

Regarding bathroom furniture, you can use the following advice: if the bathtub is located along one wall, then place the washbasin and mirror near the opposite wall, and the toilet should be placed opposite the front door. This will save a significant amount of space.

But this is in case the area allows, because most often you have to place the toilet near the bathroom. In this situation, partitions, glass doors or screens are often used.

Very often, all floor elements are placed in the corners, so the central part of the bath is released. But regardless of size, a good ventilation system must be installed in the bathtub combined with the toilet. This is necessary to eliminate unpleasant odors and excess moisture.

Second stage: wall cladding

Professionals recommend ceramic tiles or any other material that must necessarily have a water-repellent property. Colors, shapes and types are nowadays presented in a huge assortment, which allows you to make a design for every taste. And, by the way, a bright bath will tell about your hospitality and openness.

To show your hospitality and location, make the bathroom light

By the way, with the help of ceramic tiles, which over the years of its use has proved its practicality and durability, you can visually increase the size of the room, or rather, extend the ceiling, for this a picture with a vertical shape is used. The rest of the interior items should be selected taking into account this pattern, you can even use it in a small amount on other surfaces, as well as in a similar color scheme. This is done so that the visual extension is not lost. To complete the airy atmosphere, you can use the recently fashionable glass sink.

In addition to ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware and mosaic are trusted, here we are also talking about moisture resistance, strength and durability. With regard to mosaics, many mistakenly believe that the small size of the constituent elements of the canvas is undesirable to use in a small bathroom. But this is not so. The fact is that due to a variety of contrast inclusion, a visual expansion of the boundaries of the room occurs. And, since this extension is based on a game of contrasts, no matter what color you choose for the room, the mosaic should have a color that is close (but not the same) in tone.

What else can be said about the walls, is that with the help of mirror surfaces there is also a wonderful visual increase in space, it becomes as if voluminous. Here you can add mirrored doors for cabinets and cabinets. But in such rooms where mirror surfaces are used, it is advisable to choose light colors for the design of the room.

Stage Three: Ceiling

Ceiling decoration is considered an important part of the arrangement of this room. Today there are a huge number of options. One of them is PVC panels. This material is considered the most economical, but it is worth considering its low resistance to moisture.

Also, paint can be attributed to the category of budget (that is, inexpensive) materials, many even from the aesthetic side are satisfied with the painted ceiling option. But here it is also worth being careful, since not all paints tolerate high humidity, it is necessary to choose special moisture resistant ones.

Systems of suspended ceilings, including rack ones, deserve more trust. The components of these materials are made of special types of aluminum or steel. This indicates high strength and durability, and outwardly they look very attractive.

The most reliable, but also more expensive is the stretch ceiling. It hides any defects, has a long service life, and when flooded it becomes an effective protection against water seeping from above. Moreover, its appearance is excellent.

Another successful solution is the mirror ceiling. Firstly, it provides a perfectly smooth surface; and secondly, visually increases the space and has the effect of scattering of light rays. In addition to mirror surfaces, there are also matte ones that make the light in the room soft and the atmosphere cozy.

Lighting

Since the bathtub combined with the toilet rarely has impressive dimensions, you can correct this drawback with the help of good lighting. Very often resort to light zoning, namely: directed light is used above the sink and mirror, and soft and diffused light is more appropriate over the bathroom.

Note. To enhance the effect of a visual increase in the room, you can install a very large mirror or even on the entire wall. This will expand the boundaries of space by 2 times.

Regarding the floor, it is important that it is made of non-slip, durable and moisture resistant tiles.

Color scheme

Standard can be called the design of the bathroom, combined with the toilet in blue, beige, green, pink and white. These tones, especially in light manifestations, are very popular, they contribute to a visual increase in area and are perfectly suited to the color of the room.

Also, the most common design is a tree. It can be called a classic. Its natural origin fills the room with a special aura, wonderful aroma and magnificent appearance. The color of natural wood is suitable for almost any style, any accessories and decor. But you need to be careful with the tree, especially when it is in places with high humidity. When purchasing wooden bathroom furniture or other wood products, make sure that they are treated with special substances that protect against moisture and temperature extremes.

The sophistication of wood in the bathroom can be compared with little

Choosing a brown color for the design of this room, the calculation is for luxury, but unobtrusive and elegant. In addition, brown has excellent relaxation properties. In such a bathroom it will be nice to soak up after a hard day's work. To emphasize the grace of brown design, use the decor or cover of the taps in bronze, copper or gold colors. If you take a chocolate shade, then in addition to luxury, heat will reign here. Strengthening the warm aura will help the union with the tree, and relax with the white.

But luxury is luxury: when choosing brown, and especially chocolate, tiles, you should be careful, as inexpensive tiles in this color will not bring any refinement and sophistication. On the contrary, it will make the interior cheap and tasteless.

Style Variations

What is a good option for a combined bathroom is the ability to place something unusual and interesting there, for example, a jacuzzi, a bidet, a corner bath, an additional cabinet and so on. And most importantly, you can think about the style of your bathroom. After all, this room is also a reflection of the nature of its owner or owners.

Here are a few standard styles that are most often chosen to design this room.

The appearance of the room is simple but modern: the corners and lines are straight and even. Colors can be absolutely any (white, blue, yellow, green, brown, red, black and white), but in its pure form, without halftones and contrasting transitions. All furniture, as well as plumbing, must be functional, no frills with clear shapes. Decor and accessories in a small amount and in a modern design. All this apparent simplicity creates a unique and very elegant design.

Excesses will already be here: curls, carvings, edging, ruffles on the curtain, and so on. Tones are chosen natural and muted. For materials, marble, granite or their imitation is preferred. Furniture and plumbing rounded shapes. Finishing under bronze or gold is quite appropriate. A mirror in the frame, a chandelier on the ceiling - this is the classic style.

This design has become very popular in recent years due to its simplicity, conciseness and originality. Most importantly, in the "eastern" bathroom can not be a shower, as well as a toilet. But if you can do without a shower cabin, then without a toilet in any way. Therefore, the toilet is simply masked, for example, using an opaque partition, a screen, curtains and the like. And the bathtub is "sunk" into the floor. The decor in this style is diverse: mosaic, ornaments, floral arrangements. The colors are warm, saturated: red, yellow, gold, blue or turquoise. Finish such a bath with natural stone, rice paper or rods.

A bathroom combined with a toilet can be an exquisite addition to your home nest. Having arranged all the elements in accordance with your preferences and available room sizes, you can get the comfort and coziness so necessary in modern life.

By the way, for those who need comfort and do not need excesses, you can design a bathtub from the most necessary elements: a bathtub, a shower area and a toilet bowl - practical and convenient even with the smallest room sizes.
