Layout of a small bathroom

The layout of a compact toilet depends on the size of the room and the possibility of expansion due to the corridor. If the demolition of the walls is not included in the plans, then you can resort to other measures.

1. Remove the washing machine from the small toilet (transfer it to the bathroom or to the kitchen).
2. Putting a hanging toilet that fits any small interior saves space, and all of its communications are hidden.
3. Instead of cabinets for storing cleaning and disinfectants, use a niche above the toilet.
4. If more than 4 people live in the house, then for the convenience of morning training in the bathroom, you can put a sink.
5. The door should open without obstacles.
6. Glossy floors, walls or ceilings will reflect light and visually enhance the interior of a small toilet.

Wall decoration

The decoration in the interior of a small toilet can be varied, based on the repair budget.

Wallpaper

There are no windows in the toilet, but there is a relatively high humidity, so from the wallpaper you need to choose vinyl on a non-woven basis, which are moisture resistant. Walls must first be leveled and treated with an antifungal solution.

Design can be floral, patterned or geometric. You can also wallpaper with different colors, for example, green and white wallpaper to visually increase the interior of a small toilet.

Photowall-paper

Wall murals can distinguish one or two walls of the toilet on a plain background of neutral wallpaper without a pattern. Images based on the interior style are suitable, for example, for the marine style, the image of waves, the beach is suitable. It can be a landscape, rivers, sea animals, mountains.

Tile

It is better to choose a tile of large and medium size, it is worth abandoning a small tile (mosaic). With glossy tiles, the floor should be matte, and vice versa. Tiles can be divided by friezes, laid in parallel, in a checkerboard pattern and diagonally in order to hide the non-parallel walls.

On the picture walls and floors are decorated with large tiles; the cabinet is built into the wall and does not protrude above the toilet to save space.

Liquid wallpaper

For liquid wallpaper, the surface must be putty and primed. After applying the wallpaper, let them dry and apply a protective coat of acrylic based varnish. A speck of sparkles and silk threads will give the walls of a small toilet an interesting look.

Laminate

Laminate can be attached to glue directly to the wall, then the space will be hidden no more than from laying tiles. You can finish one wall with a laminate, part 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.

Paint

The paint must be resistant to moisture and have antibacterial properties. Suitable emulsion paint with acrylic, latex, silicone composition. You can paint surfaces in two colors in different ways:

• visually separate the bottom and top of the walls;
• make a careless border of the transition of color according to the type of strokes or smooth amber;
• paint opposite walls in different colors;
• make a contrasting wall behind the toilet.

Panels

The panels steal 5 cm of wall on each side, but they hide obvious uneven surfaces. Plastic panels save budget and time. With proper installation, PVC does not leak moisture and does not contribute to the formation of fungus.

Combination Finish

The combination of two finishing materials is often found in the interiors of a small toilet without a bath. Common combinations:

• tile and paint;
• tile and liquid wallpaper;
• tile and wallpaper;
• wood panels and paint.

Flooring

The main requirement for materials for finishing the floor is that it is not slippery and well tolerates moisture.

Tile

The tile may be stone or porcelain, light shades are preferred. The floor can be monophonic, with a design, of different sizes and masonry methods, wood tile is also popular.

Laminate

The laminate needs to be taken in a waterproof class with impregnated edges, a protective top layer and a moisture-proof PVC substrate, the cork substrate will absorb moisture.

Linoleum

Linoleum with proper installation will not accumulate dust and fungus underneath. It must be laid on a flat surface, glued and sealed by a skirting board adjacent to the wall (or use a rubberized skirting board). Linoleum should choose a commercial class with increased wear resistance.

Bulk floor

The self-leveling floor of a mixture of cement, sand, gypsum is epoxy, polyurethane, white, gray, transparent, with a 3D pattern.

Ceiling decoration

Panels

Paint

Drywall

The drywall ceiling conceals 5-7 cm of the distance of a small toilet, but also hides the interfloor plate or the unevenness of the ceiling. From drywall you can make a niche, a wave with backlight. It can be repainted and thereby change the interior of the toilet.
