Materials for creating a bathroom interior combined with toilet
When choosing finishing materials used in the design of the bathroom combined with the toilet, it is important to remember that all of them must be, first of all, moisture resistant.
Ceramic tile
Ceramic tile on the building materials market is presented in a huge assortment. It will be divided into:
- outdoor;
- wall.
This separation must be taken into account, because the floor tile is exposed to higher load. Choosing a tile, pay attention to special characters that are marked by this type of finishing materials. On the ceramic tiled for the bathroom, there must be signs that mean high resistance to various detergents, water repellence and high density. For floor tiles, this characteristic is additionally important as wear resistance. And it will not be absolutely an anti-slip surface at the floor tile.
For the design of young bathrooms, combined with the toilet, choose a small tile. This will allow you to visually perceive the room as a more spacious, while a big tile psychologically will cause a feeling of cramped. For the same purpose, give preference to the tile of light tones.
- blue and green tones are considered "cool" for perception;
- pink, terracotta and beige - "warm."
It is not necessary to pick up the floor tiles and the walls of the same color. Darker shades of floor tiles are advantageously emphasized by space. When finishing a small bathroom, such nuances should be taken into account:
- a small bathroom will acquire visually large dimensions, if you use a wall tile with a mirror or glossy surface;
- the ceiling level will be perceived above, if you lay the wall tile of darker shades, small vertical strips;
- if your choice stopped on a mosaic tile, it is better to use it only for the decor, otherwise the motion of the mosaic too narrows the space of the already small bathroom;
- as in the case of a mosaic, do not try to choose a tile with large and bright patterns, give preference to materials with careless images, and even without them without them;
- you need to choose a tile from the calculation to avoid trimming, otherwise they will be too noticeable in a small room and spoil the overall impression of the interior;
- putting the floor tile diagonally, you visually increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, and in addition, the method comes out a more aesthetic pattern and the ability to hide the available irregularities of the walls appears.
Wall decoration panels PVC
A more economical finishing material are PVC panels. In addition to the financial side, it is worth noting the ease of installation of panels, resistance to high humidity and ease of care for them. The main disadvantage in the use of plastic panels is that the space is being cleaned, because when installing profiles or bars are applied. In addition, on the reverse side of PVC panels, fungus is quite often developing.
If all the economics prevails in your choice, then such moments should be taken into account:
- try to acquire panels from one party, so you can avoid possible differences in the color scheme;
- thoroughly inspect the surface of the selected panels for various defects;
- using the crate when installing plastic panels, you can hide not only the wiring for it, but most of the water pipes;
- the color palette of the panels is very wide, so the recommendations regarding shades are the same as when choosing a ceramic tile;
- mounting the panels remember that between them and the heated tunnel must be a gap of 3-4 cm, otherwise it is possible to curvature panels due to high temperatures;
- with a vertical installation of panels, the height of the ceiling of the room will increase visually, and the moisture will be better assigned (with horizontal location, the water will be stamped at the joints).
Painting Walls
A very practical and aesthetic option for decoration of walls in the bathroom may be their staining.

Wallpaper in the bathroom
In the design of the bathroom (combined bathroom), moisture-resistant wallpapers are often used. This type of finishing material is attractive for those who save funds, time to repair and do not want to apply for additional help in the arrangement of the bathroom. And if during the operation of the bathroom there was a need for a corrective repair, then it is quite possible to update the interior independently or simply put part of the wallpaper from the wall. Of course, the main criterion in choosing wallpaper for the bathroom is their moisture resistance:
- washing wallpapers are the most economical option of wallpaper;
- vinyls can withstand direct water from entering, as well as remarkably oppose high temperature and humidity. Their higher price in comparison with washing wallpaper is leveled by the durability of operation;
- self-adhesive wallpapers are beneficial to the fact that there is no need to purchase additional adhesive;
