Interior small toilet, despite the limited small space, may look different based on the color of the plumbing, finishing and materials. A small toilet can be equipped no worse than a large one, the main thing is to choose the right interior color and rationally use the space.
Layout of a small bathroom
The layout of a compact toilet depends on the size of the room and the possibility of expansion through the corridor. If demolition of walls is not included in the plans, then you can resort to other measures.
- Remove the washing machine from the small toilet (move it to the bathroom or kitchen).
- Installing a wall-hung toilet that fits any small interior saves space, and all its communications are hidden.
- Instead of cabinets for storing cleaning and disinfectants, use a niche above the toilet.
- If more than 4 people live in the house, then for the convenience of getting ready in the morning, you can put a sink in the bathroom.
- The door should open without obstacles.
- A glossy floor, walls or ceiling will reflect light and visually enlarge the interior of a small toilet.
Wall decoration
The interior decoration of a small toilet can be varied, depending on the renovation budget.
Wallpaper
There are no windows in the toilet, but there is relatively high humidity, so you need to choose vinyl wallpaper with non-woven backing, which is moisture resistant. The walls must first be leveled and treated with an antifungal solution.
The design can be floral, patterned or geometric. You can also wallpaper different colors, for example, green and white wallpaper to visually enlarge the interior of a small toilet.
The photo shows the wall decoration vinyl wallpaper in dark and light shades, which emphasize the interior of a small bathroom in a classic style.
Photo wallpaper
With photo wallpaper you can highlight one or two walls of the toilet against a plain background of neutral wallpaper without a pattern. Images are suitable based on the style of the interior, for example, for nautical style An image of waves or a beach would be suitable. This could be a landscape, rivers, sea animals, mountains.
Tile
It is better to choose large and medium-sized tiles; you should avoid small tiles (mosaics). With glossy tiles, the floor should be matte, and vice versa. The tiles can be separated by friezes, laid parallel, in a checkerboard pattern and diagonally in order to hide the non-parallelism of the walls.
In the photo, the walls and floor are decorated with large tiles; the cabinet is built into the wall and does not protrude above the toilet to save space.
For liquid wallpaper the surface must be puttied and primed. After applying the wallpaper, let it dry and apply a protective layer of acrylic-based varnish. Interspersed with sparkles and silk threads will give the walls of a small toilet an interesting look.
Laminate
Laminate can be glued directly to the wall, then the space will be hidden no more than when laying tiles. Laminate can be used to decorate one wall, part of it or completely wooden interior small toilet, but then you need to select different colors of wood for the floor and walls.
Dye
The paint must be resistant to moisture and have antibacterial properties. Will do water-based paint with acrylic, latex, silicone composition. Surfaces can be painted in two colors in different ways:
- visually separate the bottom and top of the walls;
- make a careless border of color transition like strokes or a smooth amber;
- paint opposite walls in different colors;
- make the wall behind the toilet contrasting.
The photo shows the interior of a small modern bathroom with painted light walls and laminate flooring, where white finish adds space.
Panels
The panels will hide 5 cm of the wall on each side, but will hide obvious uneven surfaces. Plastic panels save budget and time spent. With the right PVC installation does not allow moisture to pass through and does not contribute to the formation of fungus.
Combined finishing
The combination of two finishing materials is often found in the interiors of a small toilet without a bathtub. Common combinations:
- tiles and paint;
- tiles and liquid wallpaper;
- tiles and wallpaper;
- wood panels and paint.
Flooring
The main requirement for materials for finishing the floor is that it is not slippery and can withstand moisture well.
Tile
The tiles can be stone or porcelain stoneware; light shades are preferred. The floor can be plain, with a design, different sizes and the method of laying, wood-effect tiles are also popular.
Laminate
The laminate must be taken of a water-resistant class with impregnated edges, a protective top layer and a moisture-resistant PVC backing; the cork backing will absorb moisture.
The photo shows the interior of a small bathroom with laminate flooring in brown tones, which matches the color of the sink.
Linoleum at correct installation will not accumulate dust and fungus underneath. It needs to be laid on a flat surface, glued and sealed with a plinth adjacent to the wall (or use a rubberized plinth). You should choose commercial grade linoleum with increased wear resistance.
Self-leveling floor
Self-leveling flooring made from a self-leveling mixture of cement, sand, gypsum can be epoxy, polyurethane, white, gray, transparent, with a 3D pattern.
Ceiling decoration
Stretch ceiling
Stretch ceilings are not afraid of moisture, are easy to maintain, can be glossy and reflect light, and are available in a wide range. For a small toilet interior, it is better to choose a single-level fabric.
Panels
MDF or PVC panels are suitable for economical finishing. There are seamless panels with visible seams.
Dye
It is worth choosing paint for the interior of a small toilet light shades(white, gray, sand, rosy, blue). The paint is applied either water-based or water-dispersion (acrylic and latex) with antifungal additives.
In the photo on the left, the walls and ceiling are painted with the same paint, which creates the effect of a continuation of the wall. White lighting reflects off a white surface and adds space.
Drywall
A plasterboard ceiling hides 5-7 cm of the distance of a small toilet, but also hides the interfloor slab or ceiling unevenness. You can make a niche or a backlit wave out of drywall. It can be repainted and thereby change the interior of the toilet.
Selection of plumbing fixtures and furniture
Plumbing fixtures in a narrow toilet should be small, not clutter up the space and remain functional.
Sink
For convenience and hygiene, you can install a sink in a small toilet that does not take up much space. The sink can be corner and placed above the cistern, square or rectangular. Mixers are also manufactured in small size. The sink can be wall-hung, corner, or with a bedside table.
In the photo on the left there is a wall-hung sink and toilet in the same color with gold-plated fittings to match the classic white and purple bathroom interior.
Toilet
The toilet can be installed in the classic version - in the center against the wall, or in a corner. Compact installation toilets present no difficulties, look miniature, and do not take up much space. There are floor, hanging, corner.
Color can be standard white, black, red, blue. If the interior of a small bathroom is themed or monochromatic, then the emphasis can be placed not on the wall, but on the color of the toilet. For example, a red toilet will suit a red, white, or black toilet interior.
Furniture
In addition to plumbing, it is better to avoid placing it in a compact toilet washing machine and cabinets. You can limit yourself to a wall cabinet or shelf, a niche for storing paper and cleaning products.
Lighting and decor items
Lighting
Lighting should be basic and local. For basic lighting, lamps built into the ceiling with a frosted glass shade or small spotlights are suitable. Sockets and switches must be drip-proof. Decorative lighting can be along the ceiling, along the baseboard of any color.

Decor
Decorative accessories in small interior There should not be a lot, but decorative tiles with a pattern, highlighting a color accent on the walls, a colored toilet lid, a soap dish, and framed paintings are acceptable. To increase the space near the front wall, you can hang a mirror from the middle of the wall to the ceiling.
Color solution
Ideas color design do not depend on the size of the room, since any color has several subtones that are suitable for a narrow or small toilet.
White
White color in the interior of bathrooms is more common than others; it makes the toilet lighter and more spacious. Combines with other pastels and bright colors: black, grass, scarlet, beige. The emphasis can be placed on a color installation. Milky and ivory shades are similar.

There are also options for mounting on only one wall. When using such plumbing fixtures, it is worth considering that it can be mounted on load-bearing wall which is made of concrete or brick. Structures made from other materials are not suitable for installing a toilet with installation.
The toilet itself is attached to the installation using special pins that extend through the cladding. The result is that only the bowl remains visible.
The waste tank is mainly made of durable plastic. This allows for a lighter design. It is securely attached to the frame and hidden behind the cladding. A small secret hatch or removable panel is made in a certain place. This provides free access to the tank, which will be needed to repair it or shut off the water.
If there is not enough space to install the tank, then a small recess is made in the wall. As for the drain, it is discharged to a convenient place. You can also use modern touch panels that operate the drain automatically.

What to consider when choosing
When choosing a toilet model, it is worth considering the characteristics of the product. This concerns not only what kind of installation to install, but also the features of the visible element - the bowl.
Among the main selection criteria are:
- Bowl material. It is better to prefer products made of porcelain and earthenware. Porcelain models have a smooth surface, which gives them elegance. Of course, if you wish, you can purchase earthenware products coated with glaze. Externally, they are in no way inferior to previous models, but have more low price. Stainless steel products are also available on the market. Their use in apartments is unacceptable, as they resemble plumbing fixtures from public toilets.
- Bowl size. For a small bathroom, it is preferable to use compact products, the length of which is no more than 54 cm. Medium-sized bowls are considered the most popular and convenient option. Their length reaches 60 cm. Enlarged bowls (up to 70 cm) are mainly used for people who have physical disabilities. They can also be installed in large rooms.
- Plumbing color. When choosing a wall-hung toilet with installation, you should take into account the design of the room. Not only the shape and size of the bowl are important here, but also its color. People often choose products white, which easily fit into any interior, regardless of color scheme. If desired, you can use products of a different shade. Better choice agree with the designers.
- Bowl shape. Presented on the market today wide choose such plumbing. The bowl can have a round, oval, square and other shape.
- Type of flush. It can be straight or circular. With a direct flush, water is supplied from behind and washes the entire wall of the bowl. Then it goes to the drain. As for the second option, here water is supplied through an inclined hole. It moves in a spiral, which leads to the formation of a funnel. If we talk about savings, it is better to choose a design with a double flush. It has two buttons. When you press one, the water is partially discharged, the second button is responsible for the complete discharge of water.
- Functionality. The design of plumbing fixtures is constantly being improved. So, on the market you can find products that have a cleaning system, a hair dryer and even a heated seat. Therefore, you won’t have to choose for long.
- Manufacturer. Here you need to decide which installation company to choose. Among the popular options are companies such as Cersanit, Roca, Laufen, Jika and others. When choosing, it is worth considering that the more popular the company, the higher the quality of its products. As a result, the cost of the toilet will be slightly higher.
All these factors must be taken into account when choosing plumbing fixtures. Also, do not forget about consulting with store salespeople. They will advise you on how to choose an installation for your bathroom.
Myths about wall-hung toilets
With this knowledge, you can easily answer the question of how to choose an installation for a wall-hung toilet. But, unfortunately, many people have the wrong idea about this design. As a result, they refuse to install a wall-hung toilet. But, in fact, their opinion is wrong.
The main misconception is that wall-hung toilets are fragile and unreliable products that cannot withstand heavy loads. Here is a refutation of this fact - the bowl is made of durable material that can withstand loads of up to 400 kg. During operation, it does not move, as it is securely fixed to the frame.
Another misconception is that the installation for the toilet is hidden behind a light partition with a facing coating, which supposedly makes it impossible to carry out minor repairs to the structure and the only way out is to dismantle the false wall. In fact, when installing plumbing fixtures, a removable panel is installed. Thanks to this, there is access to the drain mechanism. This makes it easy to carry out minor repairs and stop the water supply in emergency situations.
Owners of small bathrooms believe that such structures take up a lot of space. But, a toilet with installation requires less space than standard models. This is due to the fact that the cistern is installed in a recess in the wall. As a result, this allows you to save the missing space.
One of the new products in the world of plumbing is the wall-hung toilet. Its use in the interior of bathrooms in Western countries is quite common, but in our country this trend is only gaining momentum. According to reviews from those who already use similar plumbing fixtures, such a suspended design is very convenient, as it takes up less space, has a rather stylish appearance, and also allows you to achieve a simple, but quality cleaning bathroom. It is worth noting that in our time, in addition to the wall-hung toilet, other elements are also used, such as a wall-hung bidet or washbasin. Installation of such structures is somewhat painstaking and requires knowledge and skills. What is a wall-hung toilet, and how to properly install the installation for a wall-hung toilet, we will look at in this article.
Wall-hung toilet - design principles and types
Visiting plumbing stores and discovering this new product, many ask questions: what is this structure supported on and how much weight can it withstand. Wall-hung toilet is a bowl with a drain tank. The lower leg is completely missing, which creates the effect that it is suspended in the air. The secret is that the toilet is attached to the installation (a massive steel frame), and that, in turn, is securely mounted to the wall.
Then the tank and pipes are masked behind a false plasterboard wall. It is worth noting that such a structure can only be attached to a main wall, and not to an auxiliary one, since the load is quite large. In this case, the operation of the drain mechanism is carried out by pressing a button built into the panel of the masking wall from the outside.
There is an opinion that a wall-hung toilet cannot withstand heavy loads, but this is not so - the quality of both the installation itself and the professionalism of its installation play a role here. There are systems that can withstand weights reaching up to half a ton. Another advantage of wall-hung toilets is their noiselessness - since the drain is hidden in the wall, its operation is almost silent.
There are many different models on sale that differ in the material of the bowl, its shape and design. The material can be polymer concrete, steel, plastic, ceramics and even glass, with shape options ranging from round and oval to rectangular. Color palette is also not inferior and varies from snow-white to rainbow shades. The latest innovations are the models that will be discussed below.
Rimless wall-hung toilet
A rimless wall-hung toilet involves the absence of a rim on the inside of the bowl. At the same time, some models have completely smooth walls, or may have slight indentations. Such models are recognized as highly hygienic, since there are no hidden hard-to-reach places for cleaning.
Touch wall hung toilet
A touch-sensitive wall-hung toilet requires the presence of a special sensor instead of a button - a sensor that reacts to the presence of a person standing nearby. The flush is triggered when a person moves away from the bowl. There are also designs with an air purification system and an automatic lid that lowers itself.
Wall-hung toilet with microlift
A wall-hung toilet with a microlift is a design that has a special miniature closer that ensures a smooth lowering of the lid onto the seat, without a sharp loud sound. The advantage of such a system is also the elimination of mechanical damage to the cover (cracks and chips) as a result of its free fall.
Installation for a wall-hung toilet: types and installation of the structure
Installing a wall-hung toilet, as already noted, is not an easy task, and it is better not to carry out this work yourself, but to entrust it to specialists, so that later you do not have to redo everything and, accordingly, incur extra financial expenses. First of all, you need to understand how to choose an installation for a wall-hung toilet. Installations are metal structures that can have different configurations and features, some of which are the best option for some installation conditions and are completely unacceptable for others.
The installation system for a wall-hung toilet with a wall load involves attaching it with anchors to the wall plane with no stops on the floor (in rare cases, such subtle additions are possible). Such designs are small in size and can be used for any room, even the smallest. This installation assumes the presence of outlets in the lower part where the toilet is attached. In contrast, the installation for a wall-hung toilet with a load of floor surface has stronger legs and a stronger frame (most of the weight is transferred to the floor).
Corner installation for a wall-hung toilet is used when placing this piece of plumbing in the corner of the bathroom. This allows you to significantly free up space in the central part of a small bathroom.
Installation of an installation for a wall-hung toilet goes through a number of stages. Initially, a niche of the required size is made in the plane of the wall, to which the sewerage system is connected. The main metal structure is installed using brackets. In this case, it is imperative to use a building level so that the structure is perfectly level.
Then cold water supply is supplied and the toilet tank is connected. This completes the main work. Next comes the installation of false walls made of moisture-resistant plasterboard (ordinary plasterboard, due to constant contact with condensate, will soon be damaged). Applied to the wall finishing material, and a decorative panel with a flush button is installed. The final stage is hanging the toilet itself on an anchor and connecting it to the tank and sewer system.
Which wall-hung toilet with installation is better to choose: practical recommendations based on various criteria
With the help of different models, you can significantly decorate the interior of the bathroom and add, so to speak, a touch of modernity. But beauty alone is not enough; emphasis must be placed on the quality characteristics of a particular design. As for the bowl, the best option is, of course, ceramics. Scratches quickly appear on the glass or metal from which a wall-hung toilet can be made, and polymer concrete “suffers” from cleaning agents. The shape and color of the bowl depend 90% on the preferences of the owners (you should not opt for models with pointed corners, so as not to hit them).
The installation material, as the basis of the entire system, must be highly durable. According to experts, the most practical installation for a wall-hung toilet is made of stainless steel. Perhaps the price of such a design will be significantly higher than analogues, but, as they say: “the miser pays twice.” Therefore, in order to avoid negative consequences, the prerogative in this matter is quality, not price.
As for the flush button - the best option There will be a two-button mechanism, especially one that has a “start/stop” system, when pressing the button again stops the flush. This will significantly reduce water consumption, and, consequently, utility bills.
The toilet flush system also has its own variety. The most popular is the double mode, when when you press one button, all the water leaves the tank, and when you press the other, only half. There are systems where the volume of water poured depends on the duration of pressing the button. Both types allow you to significantly save on utility costs for water supply and disposal.
Cost plays an important role in choosing this type of plumbing fixture, such as a wall-hung toilet, and before you go shopping for a particular model, you need to take into account the financial side of the issue.
In conclusion, I would like to note that in many modern apartments, today you can find a wall-hung toilet. Customer reviews in favor of this design confirm the ease of use of this model and positive aesthetic characteristics. The variety of its types will help you choose the best option for any bathroom and make it modern and unique.
For example, if the bathroom is decorated in modern style“eco” - you can choose a wall-hung toilet with an interesting wood trim, for a “classic” or “retro” style, a model with eye-catching fittings designed in bronze, silver or gold is suitable (some elite models also have lids made of natural wood). In general, the variety is quite large, and in order to help you navigate, it is worth looking at a selection of photos of bathrooms with a wall-hung toilet presented in this article.
Plumbing, like other household appliances, is gradually evolving. Thus, the trend today is for devices mounted not on the floor, but on the wall. Photos of a wall-hung toilet in the interior will inspire owners to update their bathroom design and buy new items.
Advantages and disadvantages of wall-hung toilets
Wall-hung toilets differ from conventional ones in the way they are attached. The supporting structure of the device is mounted on the wall. The plumbing connections of such a device are hidden, which creates a minimalist effect. At the same time, the operating principle of the toilet does not change, only its appearance has been modernized.
The most important advantage of hanging plumbing lies in its ergonomics. Fashionable devices take up much less space and also visually expand the room. This technique is especially beneficial in small bathrooms, where every square centimeter counts. The floor in the bathroom remains open, so the room seems lighter and airier.
Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting the lack of free access to the same communications and the impossibility of replacing the device without destroying the finish. Also, when choosing such a design, it is important to remember that the actual dimensions of the room are reduced, no matter how absurd it may sound. It's all about the pipes, which will have to be hidden in the walls or adjacent structures.
Another disadvantage is the complexity of installation, which an inexperienced person will not be able to carry out.
Wall-hung toilet in the interior
Besides technical points, before choosing a model, you should weigh the aesthetic advantages of wall-hung plumbing. Having looked at the photo examples, you can imagine how the toilet will look in a particular interior.
The device looks modern, so the repairs surrounding it should be appropriate. Minimalism, hi-tech and other laconic styles look most impressive.
It would be good if other elements of the bathroom were made in the same spirit. Hanging cabinets and light “floating” decor are welcome.
There are no strict rules regarding color. The toilet can be either classic white or stylish black.
However, in a combined bathroom, the proximity of the water source to the toilet will cause plaque to settle on the surface of the device. Cleaning will have to be done more often and more thoroughly. Therefore, close proximity to the sink is not the best option.
The design of the box that hides the tank and pipes can be either built-in or adjacent. The installation of the latter will fit into any interior if you choose the panel to match the color of the finish.
The wall-hung toilet is the latest peak in plumbing fashion. It is difficult to install such a device, but its effectiveness appearance more than covers all technical nuances.
✔ Installation advantages
Installation is a design in which the flush cistern and supply fittings are hidden behind the wall, leaving only the wall-hung toilet and flush button outside. This solution allows you to more efficiently use the free space in the bathroom, especially if it is not large. From an aesthetic point of view, everything is fine too - the installation looks modern and laconic, nothing superfluous. All supply pipes and hoses are hidden behind the wall. It is very convenient to clean the room - the floor remains completely free of earthenware. Another advantage of the suspension system is the low noise level, since the tank is hidden behind the wall and, in addition, has a soundproofing layer provided by the design. The collection of water occurs almost silently. There is an economical flush system, as in many toilet models. Installing an installation system opens up new opportunities for creating an interesting and unique bathroom design.

✘ Disadvantages of installation
But nothing is perfect in this world, and there are some disadvantages to this technological miracle. This is a higher price compared to regular classic toilets. Low maintainability. The wall-hung toilet and the button are easy to replace, but the part behind the wall can only be replaced after dismantling the latter. The same applies to all pipes and communications that will be behind the unit. In a typical bathroom, the installation is usually installed in a niche with risers and blocks access to the pipes located below. When installing a regular toilet, it can be made from plasterboard and tiles, but in the case of an installation, this is not possible. But it must be said that modern systems installations are very different high quality execution and subject to correct installation will last a very long time.
There is one more point about which we consider it necessary to warn those who decide to install the installation in their apartment. Compared to a conventional toilet, which stands rigidly on the floor, you feel a slight depreciation of the structure when landing, which gives rise to doubts about the reliability of the base, which, by the way, are completely groundless. Manufacturers guarantee that suspension systems can withstand loads of up to 400 kilograms. This is a psychological effect, it just takes time to get used to. If none of the above is an obstacle, you can safely purchase an installation kit from some famous manufacturer. Most often we had to install systems Grohe And Geberit. There are no complaints about the quality of these products.

How to install the installation - yourself or seek the help of a specialist? If in the case of a regular toilet it was possible to repair the toilet and then invite a plumber to install the device, then this will not work with installation. Installing a suspension system is a rather complicated process. Since the installation is a built-in system, it is almost impossible to separate the process of its installation from the actual renovation of the bathroom. Here you need a specialist with a wide profile who can first reliably install the structure frame, correctly connect all the supply pipes, check the operation of the drain, make a wall of plasterboard or gypsum fiber board, lay it with tiles, grout the seams and only after that mount the wall-hung toilet and flush button. At the same time, you always have to measure and try on everything seven times. Even with extensive experience in installing installations various types, we spend significantly more time on this work than on installing a regular toilet. If you are not afraid of difficulties and have repair skills, then you can cope with this task yourself. The instructions included with the product describe the installation process in detail. The main thing is not to forget to use a building level and follow the correct installation sequence.
We invite you to watch a video of the installation process from the famous manufacturer Roca.
