The Importance of Colors

Choosing the right colors to dress your walls and floor is the first step, and perhaps the most important part, when decorating a small toilet. As it is a small space, light colors s are the first that come to mind; white, very light gray, etc. However, in this room you can use dark tones such as black, oak or walnut. In fact, professionals combine shades in small modern toilets, to create a beautiful visual contrast that makes us perceive the space as larger. The secret? Use light colors for the side walls, darker for the back wall and the floor, thus achieving a continuity that will deceive the eye.  

Take chances with strong colors

Earlier we mentioned that light colors and dark colors are perfect for a small toilet. But, there are others that also suit them: the strong colors, as long as they are introduced in combination with other shades lighter or darker. For example, the red color is perfect for small spaces, because they transmit strength and are elegant. All the walls covered in red, with the floor in white and the sink and toilet in the same color. A dark blue will serve to transmit tranquility, green is happy and relaxing, orange will give the space its own personality… Bright, powerful and intense colors. Of course, avoids yellow tones and variants of violet or pink, since they are very garish.  

The floating sink and toilet, to save space

In this space there are two essential elements: the sink and the toilet. And they both take up too much. So you will have to install a floating sink, with a drawer to store towels, and take advantage of the free space to put some open furniture to get more storage space. In the case of the toilet, would be ideal, one with the cistern hidden behind the wall. Although, if space permits, it can be a visible toilet, sending it to the back area.   

Some shelves to put products or accessories

Although our advice is for to go for a minimalist style toilet decoration, thus avoiding it being a loaded space, it never hurts to put some shelves in order to get some storage space. These are always located next to the sink, near the door, so that they are not too out of place or visible from the outside. Or, if you wish, you can buy a mirror basin set, with small cabinets on the sides to store things you need to have on hand. It is important to try to add a accessory to the decoration so that the toilet does not seem so "empty". Something simple, and not ostentatious, like a small plant on the sink cabinet, which emits a pleasant fragrance. The other option is to use boxes. The easy thing is to put a picture on top of the toilet, something simple like the image of a flower, a landscape or some animals, with a simple frame in a tone that contrasts with the color of the walls. If you like small squares, these can be located right next to the sink, in the hole next to door . Although it may not seem like it, they will add a lot of value to the decoration of your small toilet.
