When planning a home renovation, many often pay the lion's share of attention to living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and undeservedly forget about such a small room as a toilet, although it is one of the most necessary for a person.

In our article, we will consider what modern toilet wall decoration, a variety of materials and color schemes can be.

Repairing the toilet is a troublesome business, which can sometimes turn into a rather lengthy process. It would seem that it can be difficult to design the smallest room in the house, but the catch sometimes lies in the deplorable state of the walls, especially if the apartment is located in a rather “ancient” house that has not been overhauled for decades.

So, planning to update the bathroom, work hard to bring the wall coverings in order - this is the guarantee that the new cladding will last a long time. It is necessary, first of all, to dismantle the old finishing material, preferably to the completely exposed surface of the wall. Carefully inspect the plane, putty putty all the cracks, pits, bumps. Ideally, the walls should be leveled, then any finishing material will lie on them without problems. If you plan to sheathe the box with drywall or wall panels, you can do without alignment.

Next, go to the pipes - you also need to study their condition. If the repair in the bathroom has not been carried out for a long time, it is better not to put it in a long drawer and carry out repair work (replacement) of communications at the preparatory stage. This also applies to wiring. Often, in old houses, there is one single lamp in the toilet located above the entrance, which gives a small range of lighting, so you can think about installing additional lighting fixtures in advance, and make an electric cable.

When all communications are put in order, the walls must be well primed, you can use special products, which include substances that prevent the formation of fungus. Now the preparation can be considered finished, the room needs to be given a "rest" and a good dry. And in the meantime, we will move on to the choice of finishing material.

In today's market of building and finishing materials, a great many options for facing wall surfaces are presented, from which sometimes the head goes around. However, we need to take into account that the toilet is a room with high humidity, so not every material can be used here.

Decorating the walls of bathrooms with ceramic tiles is a fairly old way of decoration, which does not lose its relevance today. This material is perfect for both aesthetic and practical characteristics. The shiny surface of the coating, which has a reflective effect, is miraculously able to give the room more freedom, and the increased moisture resistance, strength and ease of cleaning ensure a long service life.

Today's tile differs noticeably from previous designs in a variety of shapes (square, rectangular, rhomboid, triangular), textures and colors, which allows even in a small room to create a stunning design, stylish design.One has only to look at the wonderful shreds of “patchwork” tiles, and associations with a warm home atmosphere immediately arise in the head. The design options look tiled under a tree or stone. Those who strive to strive for extraordinary as much as possible, you can purchase a set of tiles that make up a three-dimensional picture.

The younger “cousin” of the tile is a mosaic that develops into magnificent compositions. Often materials are combined, filling out accent areas with a fine mosaic.

The use of drywall paintings for wall cladding has an additional plus - there will be no need for absolute alignment of the walls. It is important to choose the right material - one that has increased moisture resistance, is available in green and has the appropriate marking. Using drywall, which is quite malleable in processing, you can create a variety of small architectural forms, paint them or tiling them. Sometimes such designs are used to organize shelves, niches or false walls, behind which communications, drain barrels are hidden.

The most economical and easiest way to finish the walls of the toilet is the installation of special panels, which are available from materials such as PVC and MDF. The panels have a wide variety of designs and can reliably imitate natural materials, have a large palette of colors, which allows you to create any style design. They are lightweight and easy to install, do not require prior alignment of the walls. The difference between them is in varying degrees of moisture tolerance - PVC panels are more stable, and MDF, with prolonged exposure to humid conditions, can swell over time. But the latter have greater resistance to mechanical stress.

If you decide to give preference to wallpaper - you need to choose washable, moisture-proof fabrics, as evidenced by the marking of the roll. The design of the canvases can be either monophonic or with ornaments, geometric patterns. An interesting solution for creating an accent can be the murals that paste over one of the walls. The theme of the images is selected in accordance with the style - it can be landscapes, mountains, animals, images of cities, rivers and raging waterfalls.

Painting the walls of the toilet is easy to apply, which does not require special skills. It should be noted that modern compositions, such as acrylic paint, have a light texture, are applied evenly, have a washable surface, do not fade over time and do not crack. One has only to show imagination - and you can create unique coatings on small walls. A combination of two colors is often used, and the border between them can be accurate or blurred. Another option that deserves attention is to create a picture on the surface of the walls using putty, and then paint it. Sometimes special stencils are used for drawing images - it turns out very vibrantly and beautifully.

Assuming repair of the toilet, perhaps you have already decided on the choice of the main color of the room, preferring one or another palette. If the general idea of ​​the design is not yet ready, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with some professional tips that will help in the design of the bathroom.

Finishing material for wall cladding may be monophonic, but then it will make the decor quite “boring”, and you will have to work on the decor. It’s easier to choose several color shades and, combining them, make the room play in a new way. Sometimes the opposite walls are decorated with different colors or clothe the wall covering over the toilet in a dark color - such techniques help visually “push” the walls, increase the space. The use of lines in the decoration contributes to the same effect, where horizontal stripes expand the room, and vertical stripes raise the ceiling surface.

To design a small bathroom, it is better to opt for light colors, which can be diluted with brighter impregnations. Minimalism in all its manifestations is most acceptable here: in excellent lighting, laconic decoration, lack of decor. In this direction, preference is given to snow-white design, with possible interspersed with accent colors. You can choose blue as the main tone, which is most suitable for such rooms. So that the room does not seem too cold, you need to choose a warm color-companion, for example, cream or peach.

A great option for a small room will be wall-paper with a perspective, placed on one of the walls or completely enveloping the room.

For decisive persons who strive for an extraordinary design of every corner of their home, we offer an option with a red palette. This does not mean at all that you need to fill all the walls with a crimson tone, turning an ordinary bathroom into a kind of torture chamber. Let the basis of the design be a muted burgundy or raspberry shade, which will be interwoven with some other contrasting color. You can take a white palette as his allies, which will lighten any saturated tone.

The toilet room, decorated in brown and beige tones, looks a little outdated, but it looks quite worthy. Current models of wallpaper and tiles with various patterns and ornaments can significantly revive and diversify the interior. By placing a small area of ​​vertical landscaping on one of the walls, you can turn a traditional room into a real eco-bathroom.

There is no need to be afraid of bright fills using saturated yellow, green, blue colors - they are not acceptable for residential interiors, and in a room where a small amount of time is spent, such a design can be very funny. Of course, if the toilet is combined with the bathroom, there are much more ideas for design, but, as they say, this is "a completely different story."
