In the article, we will consider some of the subtleties of furniture arrangement and decoration of a small room.
What should be considered?
There are a number of important factors to consider when setting up a toilet.
- Limited number of parts. If you have decided on the type of design, then pay attention to the accessories and decor elements with which you plan to decorate the room. There should not be too many of them, because this will only steal an already limited space. For example, if you want to hang a picture, then limit yourself to one or two medium sizes.
- Print or drawing. The same applies to pictures on wallpaper, tiles, panels. It should not be too large and should not contain many small details.
- Colour... The choice of color must also be approached with responsibility. You should not choose too bright colors for a small room, use them partially, for example, in details.
- Furniture. Toilet furnishings should save space as much as possible. Choose small corner options, and combine multiple items to save space.
- Functionality. If possible, all furnishings in a small toilet should fulfill their function. For example, choose shelves that can hold as many items as possible.

Finishing
Finishing plays a very important role in arranging a small room. After all, it is very easy to visually reduce or increase the space with the help of color and texture. For the toilet, it is better to choose practical materials.
- Tile or tile... This is a classic choice for both bathroom and toilet. The main advantages are water resistance and durability.
However, it is better to use this material only for walls, as cracks can appear on the floor due to constant pressure.
- Plastic panels easy to install, moisture resistant, different in colors and designs. For a small toilet, it is better to choose horizontal panels to visually expand the space.
- Lighting. Take care of proper lighting in advance to make the room seem more spacious.
Styles
Small toilet design is limited to a few styles.
- Minimalism. This is the most suitable style for a small bathroom, as it implies a minimum of details and light colors in the decoration. A white toilet, walls in any light shade you like, a darker floor to visually increase the space, a minimum of detail - that's all you need to create a minimalist washroom.
- Classic style. If you prefer a more sophisticated style, then the classic one is for you. For walls, choose panels or tiles of any light shade, such as sand. The floor covering can be matched to the walls.
Gold-colored elements on plumbing, mirrors or gilded picture frames perfectly emphasize the classic trend in the interior.
- Ecostyle supports the theme of nature. Natural colors, a vibrant rug such as green and plants will help create a natural ambience.
- Scandinavian. This style implies simplicity and lightness. The use of light, cold colors in the decoration, wooden details (or wood stylization), such as a toilet seat, frames and other possible accessories, will create a relaxed atmosphere.
- Modern. Dynamic paintings, fresh colors, graphic designs, abstractions, a modern toilet - these are the features of a modern toilet.
Colors
As mentioned above, do not choose too bright colors, as they attract all the attention to themselves, therefore, further narrow the bathroom. Let's take a look at the most appropriate colors for a small washroom.
- White - the most used color for bathroom and toilet. And this is understandable - after all, it refreshes the room and visually makes it larger, as well as creates a feeling of cleanliness. However, to avoid the effect of "sterility", dilute this color with darker or brighter tones.
It is worth noting that white is most often found in the restroom, because most toilet bowls are produced in this color.
- Blue. This color is calm, cold, fresh - what you need for a bathroom. To decorate the toilet in its shades, choose lighter tones for the walls and darker tones for the floor.
- Black - a risky but interesting color for a toilet. It is best to combine it with white. For example, the ceiling, floor, and other details can be black, while everything else can be white. Or, conversely, a black toilet and some details, possibly partially walls.
- Yellow green. These colors are suitable for a toilet if they are presented in lighter warm shades. It is better to use these tones in wall and floor decoration.
- Red. Like black, this color is a very daring solution for a toilet. Better use it in details: paintings, patterns or designs on tiles, mosaics, rugs.
Interior
We have decided on the type of finishing, which means that you can choose an interior for the toilet. Let's consider in detail its components.
- Toilet bowl - this is, of course, the main part of the restroom. It takes up most of the bathroom, so you need to select it in accordance with the area of the room.To save more space, you can use a wall-hung toilet with an installation or a cistern built into the wall - this will significantly save space. Alternatively, you can choose a more compact, miniature model, if it is convenient for you.
- Yorshik and other details. If possible, fix the used parts on the walls - this will add order to the room.
- Shelves should contain all the necessary items, but at the same time should not be too large. It is better to hang them over the toilet or in the corner.
- Sink... If you want to install a sink in the toilet, then its choice must be approached wisely. On sale you can find miniature corner sinks that take up very little space. Pay attention to the new models of toilets with a cistern in which a sink is built-in - this is an excellent saving of space and water.
- Bin. This item also takes up a lot of space. But you can find a way to fit it without sacrificing space. For example, if you are just doing major repairs, you can make a built-in dumpster.
- Mirrors must be present in the interior, as they add space.
