How to decorate a small rectangular bathroom? What are the decoration techniques for a small rectangular toilet?

We all know that the toilet is a very important place in the home, and it is also a place that needs to be decorated carefully. Many people will focus on decorating the toilet at home. Different toilet layouts will have different decoration designs, so how to decorate and design a small rectangular toilet? Let's take a closer look!

How to decorate and design a small long toilet

1. "Find" a suitable layout for the toilet during renovation

(1) Use the “one-line” arrangement of functions

In a long toilet, try to arrange the toilet, washbasin and shower in a straight line. I believe this layout can make better use of the space and effectively avoid the "difficulty in moving" phenomenon caused by setting them on opposite walls.

⑵ "Separate" layout with the wash basin removed

Although there are many kinds of "separate" decoration in the bathroom, for a long toilet with a small space, I think it is more practical to move the "sink" out of the bathroom if conditions permit. The sink can be completely or partially used with the area of ​​the adjacent space to reduce the space "pressure" of the bathroom. There are roughly two ways to move the sink out of the bathroom:

① Move the bathroom wall inward

When the washbasin is located near the door, because the washbasin is highly "mobile", when moving it out of the bathroom, you can either move the bathroom wall inward according to area requirements; or use part of the bathroom space and part of the space adjacent to the bathroom; or use the entire area of ​​the adjacent space.

② Newly built wash basin area

If the toilet is close to the door, due to the "poor" mobility of the toilet, if you want to move the washbasin out of the bathroom, you will need to occupy the area adjacent to the bathroom to create a new washbasin area.

2. "Find" the right tips to improve space utilization during decoration

"Not missing out" on every usable area is what needs to be done when decorating a small bathroom, so as to improve the utilization rate of the space and make the "very small" bathroom "orderly".

⑴ Door opening method. In a "very small" bathroom, the door opening method also needs to be "considered". The bathroom uses a swing door, which takes up the area of ​​the bathroom when opened inward. The function settings will also be limited after it is fully opened. I think you can consider changing the door to a sliding door. The Internet celebrity Canggu door that combines beauty and function will be a good choice.

(2) Set up niches. Use the pipe wrapping or other masonry needs to set up niches. While achieving functions such as shielding, protection, and sound insulation, it also adds storage space, achieving "one thing for two uses" and saving space; and the open design of the niche will also bring a good sense of depth and layering to the space.

⑶ The area above the toilet cannot be ignored. In a small bathroom, the area above the toilet cannot be ignored. When the toilet and the washbasin are placed side by side, the storage of the washbasin can be extended to the area above the toilet to expand the storage space and also make the bathroom more integrated; an independent storage cabinet or storage partition can be set above the toilet to increase storage space without taking up "extra" space.

⑷ Use of shelves. Shelves with small size and large storage capacity are the "magic weapon" of small bathrooms, such as "ladder" shelves, "gap" storage cabinets, "high-value" layered trolleys... They are "very good" at organizing storage and tidying up space!

3. "Find" the right decoration method to improve the space environment during decoration

⑴ Color selection of wall and floor tiles. Visually, light colors give a sense of "expansion", while dark colors give a sense of "contraction", so I would recommend using light-colored wall and floor tiles, or only light-colored wall tiles, in a "very small" bathroom. This will make the bathroom clean and bright, and can also effectively reduce the sense of oppression caused by the small space.

⑵ Lighting settings. In addition to reducing the oppressive feeling of a small bathroom, appropriate lighting settings can also create a good environment and atmosphere for the space, add decorative elements, and make a small and narrow space look refined, such as using wall lamps, light strips, small chandeliers, etc. in some areas.

⑶Mirrors "expand" the area. Mirrors are indispensable in the bathroom. By appropriately increasing its size and using its reflection, it can "unobtrusively" "expand" the space.

⑷ Suspended sanitary ware and "minimalist" mode. For a "very small" toilet, a large washbasin will bring space pressure to it. Using a "minimalist" mode with only a washbasin will be a good choice for it, but because it has no storage space, it needs to be equipped with wall storage such as a shelf or a mirror cabinet with storage function.

The "suspended" form of the washbasin or toilet can expose more of the floor part of the bathroom, making the space feel more complete, and having a better sense of depth and layering.

Exclusive decoration methods that can be used in bedroom bathrooms

Unlike the guest bathroom, the bathroom in the bedroom has better privacy, so in addition to the above "general" methods, it can also have its own "exclusive" decoration method.

⑴ Use glass partitions instead of part or all of the removable walls. The bathroom space is visually "expanded" to the entire bedroom, effectively reducing the "small" feeling of the space and increasing the sense of hierarchy of the bedroom.

⑵ The "broken but transparent" nature of glass bricks can retain a good degree of privacy while also having the effect of light transmission. Using it to replace part or all of the removable walls can dilute the "boundaries" of the bathroom, increase the brightness of the bathroom, reduce the sense of depression and crampedness, and the decorative nature of the glass bricks can also "light up" the space.

⑶ Remove all removable walls of the bathroom, and no longer "isolate" it in any form, so that it can become "one" with the bedroom. The "boundary" of the bathroom disappears, and the feeling of "very small" space is eliminated.

Tips: When remodeling the bathroom layout, sometimes moving the toilet can provide a better layout, but the more commonly used methods can have problems, big or small: using a toilet shifter can easily cause the toilet to become clogged; raising the toilet to move it can make it inconvenient to use the bathroom; re-drilling holes and changing the position of the pipes requires the consent of the downstairs neighbors, and improper handling of the pipe connection can lead to water leakage, so I think moving the toilet needs to be carefully considered.

How to decorate the bathroom in a high-end style

1. Use large floor tiles or stone materials on the wall to improve the grade of the entire space. And the color should be as dark as possible to give it a sense of grade!

2. The entire space should be kept as simple as possible, and objects should not be placed on the ground as much as possible, and there should not be scattered hangings on the walls as much as possible.

For example, a wall-mounted toilet, a wall-mounted washbasin, and a groove on the wall to place bathing supplies!

3. The shower and toilet can be separated and the space is clear. Many star-rated hotels do this, which is simple and tidy (if space allows)

4. There must be light on the mirror above the wash basin to enhance the atmosphere of the space!

4. The quality of the wash basin directly affects the effect of the entire space, so you must buy a high-quality wash basin!

5. It is recommended to design the toilet and washbasin as an integrated whole, which makes the whole space very coherent, minimalist and very elegant!

6. The bathroom uses gypsum board ceiling, which is high-end and classy.

Bathrooms generally use aluminum gusset plate ceilings, but using gypsum board ceilings will play a great role in promoting the creation and atmosphere of the entire space, instantly improving the level.
