Advances in Toilet Design
New toilet design products demonstrate that design ideas do not stand still. It turns out that both classical and rationalist trends in design can be interpreted in completely different ways.
When designing sanitary facilities, their main purpose is always taken into account, and when choosing materials, preference is given to those that most fully correspond to the utilitarian function of this room.
Fire safety when finishing with tiles
Ceramic tiles are a fire-resistant material that is formed in a kiln at +1300°C, which is higher than the temperatures that occur during fires. Therefore, many architectural monuments have been preserved in different parts of the planet.
The same technologies are used in production as many centuries ago, so it retains its properties and can withstand high temperatures. Those walls that are decorated with tiles will withstand any fire. During combustion, tiles do not release harmful substances into the air.

Marble
One of the symbols of luxury and wealth is Carrara marble. This technique uses tiles that imitate prestigious marble.
Advantages:
- A large number of offered colors and textures of natural stone.
- Affordable price range.
- Easy installation.
Finishing the bathrooms with light marble slabs in combination with wood gives the room a feeling of lightness and freshness.

Toilet painting
The historically established traditional solution involves matching colors of the floor and walls.
Modern research in design has led to a paradoxical, but now fashionable solution, when the colors of the walls and floors in the toilet contrast with each other.
Important Steps
Before you begin the most enjoyable process - the implementation of a design project and ideas for decorating a toilet room, you should do the rough work. It includes:
- Removal of old coatings.
- Alignment of walls.
- Leveling and filling the floor.
- Installation of a new door.
- Ceiling finishing.
- Replacing communications.
Installation of plumbing and furniture, as well as installation of lighting, should be carried out after finishing work.
Color solutions
Interiors in light colors with white tiles and multi-colored borders and decorative elements are considered fashionable. The design in black tones, embodying elegance and aristocracy, does not contradict fashion trends.
Last year's design achievement was a mirror finish combined with metal, glass ceramics and matte tiles.

Selecting quality tiles
Even the most beautiful and fashionable ceramics may turn out to be of poor quality, so choosing tiles for a bathroom or toilet based solely on design is unacceptable. The tile will last for many years if, when choosing, you pay attention to the following properties of the tile:
- The elements must be perfectly flat. To check compliance with the criterion, it is enough to stack two tiles taken at random with each other. A discrepancy of 1 mm is acceptable; if the curvature is greater, problems will arise with the cladding.

- Criterion for matching diagonals. Measure the diagonals of several tiles; high-quality products have the same diagonals. If there is the slightest deviation, it will not be possible to make the row even when laying.
- Quality of the top layer (glaze). Take a sample and look at it against the light. Avoid purchasing if cracks are visible on the surface.

Masking flaws
Technologies of 2022 make it possible to neutralize the negative aspects of a small toilet with the help of a special design, consisting, in particular, of gradient, patterned, zigzag and checkered colors.
Self-leveling floor
This is far from a new technology, but it has not lost its popularity. Recently it has been enriched with innovative ideas and themes.
For example, a bathroom floor with ocean and tropical images has a great positive psychological impact.
Decoration of the technical room
Designer imagination helps to hide defects and communication structures in the bathroom interior using a universal cladding coating.
In addition, with the right color scheme, you can change not only the appearance, but also the visual atmosphere of the bathroom.
- Dividing the walls in half with light and dark tiles in height is not suitable for a small room.
- Large horizontal stripes of contrasting or similar-colored tiles will visually expand the walls.
- When choosing the texture of ceramic tiles for the toilet room, you must take into account that imitation wood may not be suitable for decorating the interior of any bathroom.
If there is a small source of lighting in the toilet and there are no windows, you should choose the lightest, warmest colors for wall cladding. It is better not to use tiles for laying on the bathroom floor in the form of a bright mosaic pattern, as such a coating will cause uncertainty and distort the shape of the space.
Quality of plumbing equipment
There is no doubt that the quality and comfort of a bathroom are determined to a greater extent by its technical equipment. The latest trends in this area have been the reduction in size and ease of use of such equipment.
Hanging sanitary fixtures
Among the plumbing equipment, not the last place is occupied by hanging ones, including bidets and toilets. This technology is of particular relevance for small-sized toilets.
Due to the suspension, space under the equipment is saved, cleaning is made easier, and the level of hygiene of the room increases.
In the technology of hanging plumbing fixtures, a significant number of models are used, having different sizes and connection methods, using drain tanks of different designs. The most cost-effective, space-saving option is a tank mounted into the wall.
The use of touch control for automated lighting and drainage control is fully consistent with modern smart home trends.
It should be noted that if technically possible, experts strongly recommend equipping the toilet with a washbasin.
Photos and video materials posted on the Internet can provide great assistance in choosing the decor and equipment of a toilet in 2020.
Having reviewed the new 2022 models, it becomes obvious that all plumbing fixtures have become even more compact and easy to use.
Installation instructions
Professional builders begin work on tiling a toilet in different ways: some from the floor, others from the walls.
If all repair work is carried out by the owner himself, then it is better to start with the walls, since if you drop a tool, you can get a chip on the surface of the tile, and if you drop a tile, you can get a broken floor.
On the wall
Unlike the floor, the tiles on the wall constantly tend to slide down. Therefore, the first row must be laid perfectly evenly and set well. If one of the conditions is not met, various seam defects almost always occur. A ceiling profile mounted with screws will help to avoid problems.
In this case, the work is performed in the following sequence:
- the joints of the walls and the floor are sealed with silicone sealant (an additional barrier is created on the way of water downwards);
- Using a level and a thread, find the lowest corner of the floor base. Considering the small area of the toilet, you can take any angle as a basis, since in principle there cannot be a significant difference in height here. Otherwise it would be visible visually;
- Use a tape measure or ruler (you can simply place the tiles on the floor) to mark the height of the tiles. 3-5 mm is added to it (depending on the size of the purchased plastic crosses);
- a horizon line is drawn through the set point along the perimeter of the walls;
- a ceiling profile (PP) is applied to the drawn line with its upper edge to the wall;
It is much easier to glue the first row using a fixed profile.
- the level is used to check its horizontal position again;
- using an electric drill or a hammer drill at 60 cm intervals, holes are drilled in the wall through the metal profile for self-tapping dowels;
- the profile is attached to the wall along the entire perimeter;
- work starts from the door and goes from left to right along the perimeter of the walls (for right-handed people);
- an adhesive solution the size of one or two tiles is applied to the wall with a spatula;
- ridges are created using a notched trowel (thanks to them, when pressing the ceramic into the glue, it does not protrude through the seams);
- apply the facing element to the wall, and using a pressing force with translational up-and-down movements of small amplitude bring it to the required position;
- plastic crosses or SVP elements are placed;
This is how the SVP element is installed.
Leveling tiles with the Rubi Tile Level system.
- glue the second tile, after which they begin to form the plane of the future finish using a mallet and a level or a tile leveling system;
If necessary, the tiles are cut using a tile cutter.
- in the corners, the edges of the tiles are either cut at an angle of 45o, which is long and difficult, or they overlap each other. Touching the ribs is prohibited;
Options for joining tiles in corners.
- As the tiles are laid, holes for pipes or sockets are immediately cut using a hammer drill with special crowns;
- After the bottom laid row has dried, the profile is removed and the tiles of the first row are glued. To prevent it from falling, it is secured with tape to the second row.
On the floor
How to properly lay tiles on the floor in a toilet? The technique for laying tiles on the floor is the same as on the walls. Only the work begins not from the far corner, but from the central tile near the far wall. The only difficulty is caused by a large number of prunings. It is better to do them with a tile cutter, since using a glass cutter can greatly delay the work.
