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.

Design of a bathroom with a toilet Modern bathroom

First of all, you need to think through the items that are needed in this room and those that can fit there. And this is far from the same thing. It is always necessary 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 decided on the requirements for furniture, plumbing and materials, we’ll figure out what we need in this room: the bathtub or shower, the washbasin, mirror, lockers or bedside tables, laundry baskets, Washer and are increasingly found towel dryers. 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 is possible 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 windowsill serves many instead of the shelf, it can even be specially made wide to fit more objects.

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.

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 is in the way), 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.

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.

By the way, with the help of ceramic tiles, which over the years of its use have proven their practicality and durability, you can visually increase the size of the room, or rather, to extend the ceiling, for this we use a drawing with a vertical shape. 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 fashioned 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, then 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 great 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.

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 classified as 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 mirrored surfaces, there are also matte ones that make the light in the room soft and the atmosphere cozy.

Since the bathtub combined with the toilet rarely has an impressive size, 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.

The standard design can be called a bathroom combined with a toilet in blue, beige, greenpink and white colors. 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.

Choosing Brown color for the design of this room, there is a calculation for luxury, but unobtrusive, but 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, since inexpensive tiles in this color will not bring any refinement and sophistication. On the contrary, it will make the interior cheap and tasteless.
