Arrangement of plumbing in a combined bathroom
Before you buy a toilet bowl, sink and other plumbing fixtures for the bathroom, you should make a plan, and in it: make notes on where you plan to install items, indicate the distance that will not be used, take into account the placement of items intended for decor. Thus, you can more accurately determine which products to purchase, as well as in what quantity and what form.
According to the layout, the combined bathroom can be of the most diverse type, but it must have its own individual zone:
- toilet bowl;
- bathroom;
- Shells.
It is not at all difficult to equip a bathroom with your own hands, and it does not matter what shape the room is - square, rectangular or even round.
The allocation of zones is carried out in two ways:

For anyone concerned about an upcoming washroom renovation or remodel, we offer a selection of 60 interesting design projects that we have collected for homeowners with different tastes and stylistic preferences, in a large range of colors and for different levels financial budget.
When starting to plan the repair of the toilet, it is important to remember that in addition to aesthetic appeal, all materials used for finishing the room must be resistant to moisture, easy and quick to clean, withstand exposure chemicals for the cleaning.
Currently, the market for finishing materials for bathrooms offers a wide range of various products that meet all the requirements of being in a small but important functional segment of the home. From ceramic tiles to moisture resistant wallpaper, laminated panels, glass and plastic - everything works to create a unique, practical and rational design of utility rooms.
Let's take a closer look at design projects toilet rooms with various types finishes, colors and stylistic trends.
Snow-white finish - cleanliness and freshness for small rooms
A 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 small size rooms, the white color in the design will also become an assistant in the visual expansion of the space.
In order not to teach the toilet environment similar to a sterile operating room, add a couple of accents of other shades to the snow-white interior, not necessarily very bright or contrasting, it is enough small area wall finished with a material different from the main one.
An alternative to the snow-white shade can be colors from the pastel group, light and delicate shades will look advantageous with white plumbing and warm colors of decorative elements.
The combination of white ceramic tiles and light-colored wallpaper with an unobtrusive pattern can be great option for decorating a small space.
When creating a modern bathroom interior, many designers try to hide as much as possible large quantity communications and engineering systems behind false panels or use built-in plumbing options. But some professionals who gravitate toward retro style prefer deliberate display of all communication systems, presenting them as part of the decor, and not just the functional segment.
The use of marble tiles in light shades brings a touch of luxury to the interior. The use of an artificial analogue will be no less successful way of finishing in terms of appearance, modern technologies allow to achieve absolute identity. Differences remain only in such material properties as strength, wear resistance and manufacturability.
When designing a toilet room, you can do without the use of stone or ceramic tiles at all, 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 original toilet design
Against the background of a dark finish, snow-white plumbing looks even cleaner and sparkling. For those homeowners whose size of the toilet allows the use of dark colors for surface decoration, we offer several unusual options room interior with toilet bowl.
The contrast that can be achieved by integrating snow-white sanitary ware into the framework of a dark room creates a really interesting design.
Dark, deep shades in the wall decoration are perfectly combined with light flooring. For visual expansion 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 decor and lighting complemented the minimalist atmosphere.
The almost black finish of the room became the backdrop for the unusually shaped toilet bowl and the most beautiful piece of decor, which is the focal point of this small, but interesting, from the point of view of design, room.
This dressing room is an example of how you can successfully combine dark shades with natural warm palette within the framework of the design of all surfaces of the room. The interior with a slightly Asian flair gives the impression of luxury and wealth.
Despite being used, quite dark color palette to decorate the room, it does not look gloomy. combination various materials and their colors allowed to create an interesting design filled with chic and brilliance. Not the last role in the creation interesting interior played decor items and unusual design big chandelier.
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 tones in the interior of any room - our next block of toilet design projects.
Why not use bright, saturated colors of tiles or wallpaper to finish the surfaces of the bathroom? If the size of the room allows, and your taste preferences tend towards a spectrum of bright colors, you need to act on the basis of your own preferences, without looking back at trends and modern trends in the field of interior design.
By combining white subway ceramic tiles and wallpaper with a vibrant active print, you can create a festive yet practical wall decoration. White and black floor covering and similar edging design facing tiles became a harmonious completion of the image of the toilet.
Another example of the use of combinatorics of white and colored surfaces in the toilet room. Thanks to unusual decorative elements managed to create a truly non-trivial design of the room.
Via mosaic tiles, which is available in small glued blocks for ease of cladding, you can create interesting inserts and panels against the backdrop of a light finish on the walls of the toilet. Mosaic tiles are also convenient because they allow you to veneer uneven surfaces, fillets and arched niches, ledges.
Thanks to the abundance of mirror surfaces, the lighting system and unusual decorative elements, we managed to create a truly interesting interior design of the toilet room.
The combination of wallpaper with a colorful pattern and mosaic tiles in the decoration of the walls allows you to create an interesting and non-trivial background for plumbing in white tones.
bright, accent wall scarlet color became the focus of attention, because quite large decor items were placed against its background. A slightly decadent decor was complemented by a mirror in a carved frame.
With finishing wood paneling and painting on glass partition, managed to present an interesting, unusual design of the toilet room.
It is impossible to call the interior of this toilet room bright, rather it is sparkling, shiny. A corrugated mirror surface has become a way of presenting an accent wall.
An alternative to lining the walls of the toilet with ceramic or stone tiles can be gluing with textile wallpapers that tolerate moisture well and are easy to clean. In addition, surfaces exposed to the greatest ingress of water - above the sink - are lined with natural stone. A bright piece of art has become a successful chord in completing the extraordinary design of the bathroom.
Only three neutral shades used in the design of the toilet made it possible to create an interesting design for a small room.
Toilets of an unusual shape as a way to diversify the design of the bathroom
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 item of plumbing for any toilet - the toilet. Square or rectangular, oval and egg-shaped, built-in and hanging, miniature or vice versa large-scale plumbing models have become highlights when creating interiors for home utility rooms.
Minimalism as an option for arranging a small room
No other interior style suits modest-sized rooms as much as minimalism. Modesty and austerity of the situation is preferable for closed spaces of small sizes, and within the framework of city apartments, toilets are just such small rooms. In addition, it is much easier and more efficient to keep the room clean, in which there is no excessive decor, and only plumbing from the whole environment.
Wood and stone are always perfectly combined in interior decoration, even utilitarian ones. Natural materials with the opposite - cool and warm energy, bring a peaceful atmosphere to any interior.
Only the diversity in the decoration of the room and the contrasting shades attract our attention in this dressing room. None extra items decor or plumbing accessories, flowers or shelves. Only a combination of smooth snow-white surfaces with wooden slatted wall decoration technique.
And finally, two images of toilet rooms created specifically for book lovers, for whom the toilet is like an office. For some homeowners, the toilet is the only place where collectibles or souvenirs brought from various travels can be placed on the walls or shelves.
Often in apartments and houses, the bathroom is made combined. This is justified from the point of view of saving space (one less wall), and from the point of view of functionality too. But it’s not easy to design a bathroom: you need to properly place plumbing, and sometimes even household appliances (a water heater and a washing machine). About all the subtleties of this difficult lesson further.
Ergonomics of the bathroom
To use plumbing was convenient, it must be located at a certain height, while maintaining minimum tolerances to walls and other objects:
When designing a bathroom, these dimensions must be borne in mind, but they can and should be adjusted. They are calculated under average height and average body size. When determining the exact location of a particular piece of furniture, “try on” the distances for yourself. If you are comfortable, you can install at such a distance.
How to arrange everything
In the modern bathroom, in addition to plumbing, there is also household appliances. For lack of another place, a washing machine is placed here, and sometimes a boiler. So in addition to the toilet, sink and bath / shower, you have to look for a place for two more overall items.
Looking for a place for a car
One option is to pick up the washing machine and sink so that the washing machine is hidden under the washstand. The downside of this solution is that the sink will be higher than usual, and the machine will have to look for a narrow one. If in a family tall people, a little higher plumbing is not scary, but the space savings are solid. The photo below is one of the options for such a bathroom design. The sink used is rectangular - there are many of these today.
Washer under the sink - a way to save space in the bathroom
If you can’t lift the washstand in any way, the machine is placed where it “fits in”. So that the place above it does not walk, you can make shelves on top. If there is a need to hang a boiler, it is the place above the typewriter.
Above washing machine- rational decision
If there is very little space, take a closer look at top-loading washing machines. They are smaller and can fit into small gaps.
Bathtub or shower
The bathroom, of course, has an advantage - you can soak in it in warm water. But it takes up a lot of space and in some cases this convenience can be neglected by placing or making a shower cabin.
If you don’t want to say goodbye to the bathroom, we will “enter” it and all the necessary items. The most obvious way is to position the sink so that one end of it is above the tub. But at the same time, you need to make sure that it is convenient to use the washbasin.
If you just use a small washbasin, this will cause significant inconvenience: splashes will fly in all directions, and there will be nowhere to put accessories. In such cases, they make a countertop (as in the photo above), line it with mosaics or tiles. This design takes up less space, and the functionality is even higher.
Another option is to put a corner bath, thereby freeing up one corner for installing a washing machine or toilet.
Corner bath - more compact
Another option is to use a custom-shaped bathroom. For example, such as in the photo. And there was a place for a typewriter ...
A custom-shaped bathroom is also an option
If, nevertheless, it is not possible to fit a bathroom into the bathroom, put a shower cabin (). Moreover, it is not at all necessary to buy ready-made, you can make it yourself - and install the doors.
A homemade shower cabin fits well into the end of a long and narrow bathroom. You can simply fence off about a meter from the wall by installing doors. Moreover, the doors can be put glass (from tempered glass). They do not share a small space and the design of the bathroom is more harmonious.
In square rooms, part of the area is fenced off by placing a dividing wall. With this decision, it must be remembered that the minimum size of the shower stall is 90 * 90 cm. This is not enough - you can’t wave your hands strongly in such a nook, so if possible, do at least a little more.
Where to put the bidet
Using the bathroom is much more convenient if it has a bidet. It is optimal if it can be placed next to the toilet (the distance between two faience products is at least 40 cm). If there is not enough space nearby, you can install it on the opposite wall. The main thing is that there should be water and a drain.
Best bidet location
The problem is that with all the approaches, this plumbing item takes about a meter. usable area. If the total area of the bathroom is only 4-5 sq.m. it's a lot. In this case, you can install a hygienic shower. Warm / cold water is brought to the toilet, a mixer and a flexible hose with a special nozzle are placed. In terms of functionality, this option is slightly inferior to a bidet, but it is also very convenient.
Hygienic shower near the toilet - convenient and saves space
Fashion trends in decoration
Most often, the design of the bathroom is developed taking into account the fact that the walls will be lined with ceramic tiles. Until recently, this material had no competitors. Mosaic is becoming more and more popular today. This is a very small tile (glass or ceramic) glued to a polymer mesh. small tiles usually have several shades, which gives the walls interesting view and present in most modern interiors bathroom.
In the design of the walls of the bathroom, the same trends are observed - a combination of tiles different colors and shades. As well as with, manufacturers produce tiles in collections whose design is designed so that they are combined with each other.
Bathroom design using tiles from one collection
The design styles of bathrooms have also changed - more and more often they design a room with a modern style, in the spirit of minimalism or high-tech. When creating such an interior, rectangular plumbing and a minimum of colors are used. All these styles are characterized by neutral tones for the walls - white, gray, beige. And against this background, there may already be several bright elements from a compatible range.
Minimalist style in the design of the bathroom - no unnecessary details
However, modern plumbing can be a decoration in itself. There are very decorative forms with graceful outlines.

The design of small toilets can be original and interesting. , if you show a little effort and imagination. When planning the beautification of rooms, we focus all our abilities on creating chic interior bedroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, forgetting about such necessary premises like toilet and bathroom. At the same time, we spend quite a bit of time in them, which is better spent in comfort. As you know, any restaurant is evaluated by the toilet. So why do we forget about it important room in your own home?
At present, many stylish and original solutions, which can be embodied in an ordinary, even the smallest toilet. You just need to get creative with it.
Choose the style of the room
The most ideal option when designing a small toilet is to design it in the same style as the rest of the rooms. In this case, when moving from one room to another, there will be no dissonance, and the interior of the apartment will be harmonious. At the same time, so that the interior does not seem monotonous and boring, you can bring a fresh interpretation to the style.
Consider the most popular stylistic decisions and figure out how to bring them to life in a small toilet room. Your imagination in this case is limited by space.
The design of a small toilet in Scandinavian style can be great solution. It involves conciseness of forms and environmental friendliness of texture, combined with the use of natural materials. In this case, it would be appropriate to divide the walls into two horizontal parts. The lower one (forming the smallest space) is pasted over with wallpaper. Perfect option- the use of stripes, for example, alternating pale blue with white. top(forming the largest space) lay out with ordinary white tiles. Such a seemingly banal combination can work wonders with appearance toilet. This solution will not only expand the space, but also emphasize the style of the interior.
Another recreation option scandinavian style- make an interesting frame for the toilet. For example, for these purposes, you can use boards or a wreath (as in the photo).
This frame can be used for other styles as well. If your apartment is designed in modern or high-tech style, then the wall to which the toilet adjoins can be tiled in a contrasting color or with various futuristic patterns.
Don't forget about accessories
As you know, accessories can transform any, even the most boring, interior. Even if you've tiled an entire room with white tiles, simply decorating it with a bright yellow rug can have an incredible effect. In addition, you will succeed in a minimalist style in perfect form.
If space permits, it is advisable to place a compact bookcase in the toilet. By placing the necessary toiletries on it (paper, napkins, towels, etc.), you can make the interior more accurate, and the placement of items - functional.
In a small room, every centimeter of space should be wisely used. Do not forget about the door: you can place compact shelves on it, or decorate it with posters, paintings, handicrafts (depending on the style of the interior). Or you can do something more original and hang a comic basketball hoop for the toilet. Such toys are now sold in souvenir shops. This will bring a touch of irony to the room. So, even if you do not use this ring for its intended purpose, it will still play its role in the interior.
For a small toilet, it is best to choose light colors. This applies not only to the walls, but also to the floor. Give preference to light-colored tiles: beige, pale blue, white, etc. In this case, the ceiling should not be darker than the walls.
Small Toilet Design: Lighting
When planning a design in small toilets, do not forget about lighting. Lighting in the toilet plays almost a paramount role. Since there are no windows in the toilet, it is important to provide a sufficient degree of artificial lighting. In addition to being in a room with poor lighting you will not feel comfortable, it will not yet allow all the design innovations in your toilet to be revealed. On the contrary, properly selected lighting can "save" almost any design.
Advice ! When choosing lighting in the toilet, consider total area and room dimensions. For a small toilet, a higher degree of illumination should be provided.
If the lighting is dim, then this threatens that you will feel as if squeezed by the walls.
However, do not think that you are limited in the placement of fixtures. They can be successfully placed on the walls, or on the ceiling, or above the door. In this case, you can use several lighting options at once. Depending on the style of the interior, exquisite sconces, chandeliers or spotlights can be used as lamps. You should also take into account the texture and color of the walls in the toilet, as well as the finishing material.
Spotlights are conveniently placed with a dimmer. In this case, you can change the brightness of the light.
Advice! Try to position the lamp so that they do not shine directly into your eyes. More subdued lighting is suitable if you are a happy owner of an apartment in a new building. And for "Khrushchev" it is better to use a brighter backlight.
Features of the design of the combined bathroom.
AT modern apartments to save space often use a combined bathroom. In this case, it would be optimal to apply space zoning, delimiting the toilet area from the shower or bath. If you do not have enough space for a more thorough division of space (for example, building a partition, installing a cabinet, etc.), then this can be done even with the help of elementary stylistic and color techniques. When delimiting space, you can beautifully highlight the toilet area with tiles of a special texture or color that will contrast, or, conversely, harmonize with the shower area (as in the photo).
In small bathrooms, you need to carefully consider the layout and placement of plumbing to maximize space savings.
You can visually delimit the space with the help of vertical stripes on the tiles, which can be laid out between the toilet and the bathroom.
How to visually expand the space
Below are a few simple tips, which will help to visually expand the space and make even a small bathroom comfortable and cozy.
- Avoid using dark tiles. It is also better not to use tiles in the form of a mosaic. These options, although they look spectacular, are completely unsuitable for decorating a small space, visually narrowing it. The best option would be to use light tiles in combination with contrasting bright borders and mirror surfaces.
- Choose your lighting carefully. Complement spot lighting on the ceiling with a lamp in the mirror area.
- In a small space, it is better to give up beautiful, but unnecessary accessories that will only clutter it up. Give preference only to practical and functional things.
- The best style for a small space is minimalism.
Saving space in a combined bathroom
Even a small bathroom can be visually made more spacious using simple tricks. It is better to give preference to a shower cabin, and not classic bath. In this case, you will save a lot of space, which can be used, for example, to install a washing machine. If you cannot imagine life without the ritual of taking a bath, then its usual form can be replaced with an angular one. Take a closer look at wall-hung toilets. They look not only modern, but also save space.
You will gain significantly in free space if instead of bulky cabinets will use hanging shelves, which can be mounted even on the door.
A countertop with a sink is undoubtedly modern and stylish, but it is more suitable for spacious bathrooms. So choose sinks standard size. However, this does not mean that you should forget about design. Modern sinks standard sizes are also stylish. At the same time, they are more practical than countertops. But you will save space on which you can place various sliding sections. For example, place baskets for various accessories in them. It will look both modern and practical.
On the side of the bathroom, additional niches can be provided that can be mounted directly into the wall. You can put shower gels, shampoos and other necessary little things there, or decorate the space with candles.
Decorating a combined knot in Provence style
The design of a small bathroom combined with a toilet offers even more options than a separate bathroom and toilet. Indeed, in the second case, you need to try to observe a single style in different rooms, which is not always possible. Here you can play on contrasts, or, conversely, make the interior harmonious. AT recent times the Provence style is becoming more widespread, which is ideal solution for shared bathroom. To recreate it, use pastel colors and natural, natural materials. Perfect suitable tile imitating stone or wood.
The main thing is to pay due attention to accessories. They will complete the look of the room. Place indoors:
- wicker baskets in which you can store various little things;
- wooden shelves and cabinets;
- stock and bath mats with country-style motifs;
Advice! Even if you have already created a neutral interior, you can give it some kind of stylistic direction with the help of the competent use of accessories. It does not require special skills and large amounts of money.
Decorating a combined knot in retro style
The retro style does not give up its position, which is appropriate not only in the bedroom or living room, but also in the bathroom. In this case, the design of the bathroom and toilet will look very original. However, here it will no longer be possible to confine ourselves to accessories. The center of the whole interior should be a bath. It is advisable to give preference to a solid cast-iron version, and if it is also equipped with legs, then there will be no price for it. They can be in the form of lion paws or original curls. The main thing is that the bath should not have a clear outline: give preference to rounded or irregular shapes. Don't forget mixers. With the help of such a seemingly insignificant detail, you can transform any interior. To create a retro style, use original faucets with large valves that can be decorated with inscriptions (hot/cold). Or look for mixers in the form of original figures. Why are wing valves worth! The washbasin is also available in vintage style. The brass model is a great alternative to classic materials.
Cabinets with imitation of rough wood will ideally fit into such an interior. It is desirable that they be designed in neutral colors: white or brown. Don't forget the lighting elements! Give preference to artificially aged lamps.
When recreating retro style, don't forget about details such as a bathtub screen and rugs. They should not be knocked out of the interior. Curtains can look like real exquisite curtains. Such options completely imitate the fabric.
Most often in modern apartments and houses you can see a kind of housing layout, in which the bathroom does not take up too much space. This approach is quite practical and rational. In spite of minimum dimensions rooms, a small toilet can be decorated stylishly and comfortably. To do this, you need to take a responsible approach to the choice of style direction, colors, plumbing and lighting. It is about these important points and our article will tell.
