Bathroom Design in Apartment: Practical and Convenient

Photo 1 — Design of a Separate Toilet Room

Generally, most apartments have a combined bathroom, so we add the time spent in the bathtub to the time spent in the toilet. That's no less than thirty minutes in the morning and an hour in the evening, plus five-minute breaks throughout the day. If you're a man, your five-minute breaks may last longer (you're interested in the newspaper or can't put down a book).

Naturally, the renovation and design of the room where we spend so much time should receive special attention.

In this article, we will consider how to make the toilet interior not only convenient but also practical, based on photos.

Toilet and Nothing More

If your bathroom is not combined with a toilet, it's worth considering minimalism style. In such a room, there is usually only space for a toilet, sink, and sometimes a bidet. Water meters, cables, pipes are best hidden in the wall. However, it's not necessary to completely seal them, as any malfunction will require dismantling the entire wall.

How to properly choose the design of a separate toilet so it doesn't look too cold or unwelcoming? When we talk about minimalism, it's not necessary to imagine a cold floor, unwelcoming walls, and metallic lighting. Minimalism is simply a minimal number of items. However, nobody forbids you to create decorative plaster or hang a dried flower painting above the toilet.

A fluffy mat that matches the wall color, interesting tiles, or an original light fixture will all enhance the interior of a small-sized toilet room.

Additionally, when designing a separate toilet, consider how it complements the bathroom's interior. For example, you can use identical wallpapers or place the same small accessories in both rooms, such as towel holders and toilet paper dispensers, and identical mats.

Here are examples of standard separate toilet design.

As you can see, the design of such a toilet can be both standard and creatively original, all depending on your preferences.

Very Small Bathroom!

Whatever we say, not everyone can boast of a toilet room that is 8–9 square meters in size. Most people have to make do with small toilet rooms. Let's now talk about how to properly design a 1 square meter toilet.

So, the main trick is to visually expand the space. Of course, mirrors won't work here (small spaces don't suit everyone for staring at themselves as a Thinker). Therefore, use light-colored walls. Install the door to open outward and remove any paper holders or newspaper stands — they take up extra space of 20 cm.

And there you go, your small room looks slightly bigger. As they say, a small detail, but pleasant!

If you're lucky enough to own a toilet room slightly larger than the above-mentioned one, we offer some different design tips.

Here you can let your imagination run wild – use suspended furniture or plumbing. You can also add textiles to the interior, for example, hide drainage pipes behind an attractive curtain. To avoid being vague – we recommend checking a selection of photos on how to arrange a toilet room of 2 sq. m.

Toilet Design 3 sq. m.

It's clear that not everyone is fortunate enough to own a toilet room of this size, but if your toilet area is 3 sq. m., here are our design tips:

• Avoid large furniture with sharp edges. Prefer furniture with soft, rounded shapes.
• When choosing tiles, opt for small ones. Large tiles can look rough.
• An excellent solution for such a toilet is a glossy ceiling. It's durable and visually makes the room look bigger.

In general, when renovating a toilet, do it as you like, since you'll be spending time there. As a final tip, we'd like to give advice on toilet interior design. Whether you're designing a 2 sq. m. toilet or a 9 sq. m. space, use auxiliary accessories: towel holders, toilet paper dispensers, brushes, shelves, mats, and more. They create comfort and blend harmoniously into your interior.
