Let nature into your home!
Under this slogan, designers are positioning the styles and types of design of living spaces in 2022. Restrooms are no exception. The embodiment of ideas of the harmony of nature, the use of rich green, sky blue, and beige shades are held in high esteem.
In the photo of the 2022 design toilet you can see just such options. There is also a modern jungle, which is very aesthetically pleasing and impressive, and there are also examples of toilets designed in the style of a small green oasis or in a strict classic interior.
Color palette
The right choice of shade for a small toilet can smooth out any imperfections, visually enlarge the space and emphasize its advantages.
White small toilet
The most optimal option for a small space, not only in terms of aesthetics, but also from the point of view of rationality. Snow-white tones can amazingly visually expand an area, making it more spacious. To prevent the room from looking too strict, you can use lamps of unusual shapes, a sink with designer patterns, or textiles with bright elements.
Green small toilet
The olive color of the walls will harmonize perfectly with yellow, pink, beige, peach, and gray. This combination of two desired shades (with a predominance of green) can create a special stylish atmosphere without the use of additional decor.
Brown small toilet
Coffee shades in toilet design always look stylish and expensive. The main thing is not to overdo it. Brown colors look great in combination with metal and wooden decorative elements, as well as with snow-white plumbing fixtures, which will visually appear even whiter. A harmonious combination of contrasts will create a special style of bathroom interior.
Blue small toilet
Sky colors can appear either cool or warm. It all depends on the desired effect. There are many options for decorating a toilet using a blue tint. This could be blue and white mosaics on the walls, delicate turquoise wallpaper or marine patterns on the floor.
Yellow small toilet
Sunny colors go well with all other bright and neutral shades. The best options are yellow with turquoise, yellow with white and yellow with olive. Plain sand motifs can be diluted with bright textiles and LED strips built into the mirror.
We take into account the specifics of a particular bathroom
Fashionable design in the toilet is a way to realize unique design ideas and receive admiring responses from family and friends.
However, before we begin reviews of interior solutions for toilet rooms, let’s plan the choice of style.
At the very beginning, you should decide on the type of design, think over the color scheme, select the necessary materials, and calculate the amount of work.
Mistakes in bathroom finishing design
A common mistake when decorating a bathroom is the use of inappropriate or incompatible materials.
It is not recommended to place the mirror cloth along the bathtub, since splashes of water and various products will fall on its surface, as a result of which there will always be spots, streaks and streaks on it.
In addition, you cannot paint the walls opposite which the faucet is located. Spraying water will cause the wall to quickly lose its original appearance.
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.
Laying out tiles in the bathroom and toilet
Tile layout is an important nuance in bathroom design. Incorrect masonry can ruin the appearance of the room so much that it will be impossible to correct this error.
On the floor
There are 3 ways to lay tiles on the floor:
- basic - standard masonry without displacement (large tiles are used);
- diagonal (laying at an angle) - a more labor-intensive method that requires preliminary measurements and cutting, but the material consumption remains the same;
- “staggered” (“brickwork”) - both square and rectangular tiles are used.
Layout drawings:
- chess;
- lines;
- kaleidoscope;
- carpet;
- ornament.
Tiles on the floor.
On the walls
There are the following rules for laying tiles on walls:
- It is necessary to lay out the tiles in 1 row along the entire surface of the wall to understand how many whole slabs can fit on it.
- Then remove 1 slab and mark the center of the wall.
- Place 1 whole slab so that its middle coincides with the intended center of the wall.
- Lay out the remaining intact slabs from it to the right and left.
- Fill the free space on both sides of the wall, where a whole tile does not fit, with cut halves.
You can use other layout methods, but this one creates the most pleasing visual effect.
Niche finishing
The niche is highlighted with a bright or contrasting shade. More often, small tiles (mosaic, etc.) are placed in such recesses.
You can lay out this area with the same tiles as the walls, but then it will look less stylish, especially if large tiles are used for masonry and the size of the niche is small. You should install lighting for the niche to visually expand the space.
Selecting an installation
The installation is a durable frame onto which a wall-hung toilet and flush cistern are attached. Such a frame is hidden with a special panel or placed in a plasterboard box. Then they decorate the surface with tiles to match the walls or highlight this area with a contrasting shade.
Area around the sink
The area around the sink should be tiled. It is unacceptable to use paint or water-repellent wallpaper, because after a short period of time these materials will lose their aesthetics (smears, stains will appear, wallpaper joints will begin to come off under the influence of moisture).
It is better to highlight this area with a brighter shade to match the main one.
Isolation of the shell.
Choosing materials for finishing
Most often, when decorating a toilet room, people give preference to ceramic tiles.
There are special rulers for floors, as well as series for wall decoration. The advantages of this material include excellent moisture resistance, ease of maintenance, and durability.

Tile is very aesthetically pleasing, and the wide choice of different tones and patterns makes this material even more in demand.
In addition to tiles, plastic and regular washable wallpaper are no less often used to create a fashionable toilet design in the 2022 season. By the way, materials can be combined, choosing the right rulers according to the tone and making interesting panels.
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.

Bathroom design styles
The design of the toilet in 2022 involves restrained colors and a traditional choice of plumbing fixtures. A classic interior design is preferred. Golden shades in the color scheme are relevant.
Natural tones of green grass, blue sky, dandelion meadow, and bamboo are also trending. Bright colors are also held in high esteem, but they have faded into the background and occupy the lower lines of the rating after pastel and nude shades.
How to combine tiles in a small bathroom
In order to correctly combine facing materials, you need to know the acceptable combinations that will help you create interesting patterns from several types of finishing materials.
You can zone a room by laying a strip of elongated tiles in the center of the room. It can be dark or light. Bright colors are allowed in the main cladding.
You can lay it out horizontally, and trim the narrow vertical zones with small two-color mosaics, which will create a bright contrast. This technique is used for areas with a shower stand, washbasin, etc.
You can alternate dark shades with light ones when laying horizontally.
Wood-effect tiles are combined with different shades, but it is worth using the given texture in the design of other areas.
White tiles will complement wicker items and textures well, but the colors should contrast.

Moreover, it should be remembered that the illusion does not provide additional space. Therefore, it is important not to place anything unnecessary in the toilet room, using every free space wisely.
For example, you can use a pantry to store household chemicals, mops and cleaning rags, and leave only a brush in the toilet and install holders for paper and air freshener.
Toilet with shower
If the toilet area is not at all too small, you should consider having a shower. This is an excellent solution as a guest bathroom and for large families. Just remember to keep your bathroom uncluttered and use solutions that won't overwhelm the project. In this case, minimalist glazing is ideal, as is a linear drain.
A toilet with toilet and bidet is a great solution if you have a little more space. You can successfully place additional plumbing fixtures in the room. Most often this is a bidet, although you can also choose a urinal.
Large toilet design
There is room for your designer's imagination to run wild here. New designs for a spacious toilet include a massive sink, several mirrors, convenient cabinets and storage space with drawers and pull-out sections.
Elegant decorative elements, a beautiful heated towel rail, and a large rug with large pile will add coziness.
In a spacious room, you can use darker shades. As an option, a black or dark gray floor, a light ceiling and walls the color of ripe green olive.

Decor
This year, gold decorative elements are in fashion - brass, copper, gold-plated steel. They create the effect of luxurious style, coziness and a special atmosphere of comfort. Gilding harmonizes perfectly with natural materials and vintage shapes:
- soap dishes with a ceramic base;
- cozy sconce on the wall;
- screw mixers.
This style, of course, contradicts minimalism. But not everyone likes it; many prefer classic or vintage. The main thing in decor is to maintain a single style from start to finish.

Baroque style
This is a pompous and very grotesque design. It is used specifically for decorating spacious rooms. If the toilet room is quite spacious, and the owner of the home is a fan of pomp in the interior, this is exactly the option.
Baroque involves a combination of tones such as chocolate with gold, black with white, silver with soft purple.
Types of tiles for the bathroom
A large selection of different types of tiles allows you to decorate your bathroom in any style or combine several as desired. Modern design can be created using photo printing, various glazing and firing technologies, etc.
Mosaic tiles
Mosaic is suitable for small rooms, as it visually expands the space. Small squares, no more than 2 cm in size, are attached to a flexible mesh base.
Mosaic is made from the following materials:
- a natural stone;
- glass;
- mirror cloth;
- ceramics.
Complex patterns can only be made from mosaic slabs that are light in weight.

Porcelain stoneware coating
Porcelain tile coating, despite its effectiveness, has a number of disadvantages:
- Heavy weight: it is much heavier than tiled, so it is only suitable for strong walls and floors.
- Difficulty in processing: to cut it, you need to spend more effort, time and energy than ceramic tiles require.
- Small selection of patterns and textures, unlike tiles.
- The high price of the material, which is due to the complexity of its production and the cost of granite chips.
However, this material has the main advantage - it is durable. In addition, it lays flat, does not chip, and is easy to clean.

Tile
Tile is the most popular finishing material for bathrooms. It is suitable for walls, floors and ceilings. A wide selection of colors, textures and shapes allows you to create a stylish design.
Metlakh tiles
These are small-sized ceramic tiles that can have different shapes and textures. Made from porcelain masses of different colors. Most often it has patterns, but there are also plain versions.
This is a durable and wear-resistant material, as it goes through several stages of firing.

Clinker
This type of finishing is used for external cladding work, as well as for flooring. When wet, it does not slip, which eliminates injuries and other negative consequences. It is easy to wash and does not leave dirty marks.

Glazed tiles
This coating is distinguished by its shine and brightness. Its top layer does not deteriorate over time. In addition, when dropped, it does not break or crumble.

Tile without enamel
Tiles without enamel are used for both walls and floors. It is quite durable, does not slip, and has a medium thickness. Its main feature: there are no patterns on it.

Art Nouveau style for decorating toilet rooms
This is a very modern and free type of interior design. Modernism presupposes straight lines, saturation of space with geometry, decorative elements, and eclecticism.
The lighting of a toilet room tiled in Art Nouveau style should be at a high level. This is the main type of lighting, plus additional spotlights. And here it is important to place the emphasis correctly.
Instructions for installing a false wall
When carrying out repair work in the toilet, the owners must solve a rather difficult task - to hide communications. Here, at the rear wall of the room, there is a riser, an inlet and emergency shut-off taps for cold and hot water, as well as water consumption metering devices. A small room does not allow you to install a permanent wall made of bricks or foam blocks. Therefore, PVC and MDF panels, plasterboard, gypsum fiber board, etc. are used.
It’s unlikely that anyone will like this type of back wall.
However, the appearance of most of these materials as a screen for various pipes is not delightful. With the advent of invisible hatches on the market, giving access to metering devices and taps, a false wall made of gypsum plasterboard, trimmed with tiles, is rapidly gaining popularity.
An invisible hatch allows you to tile a false wall.
Installation of the screen is carried out in the following sequence:
- the height of the wall is measured, as well as the width of the bathroom along the floor and ceiling;
- the guide profile is cut with a grinder to the obtained dimensions;
- the line of the metal profile is drawn on the floor, walls and ceiling with a pencil or marker;
- a profile is applied to each wall in turn, and then to the floor and ceiling, and holes for dowels are drilled through it in 40 cm increments. Before drilling holes in the wall, the verticality of each rack is checked with a plumb line;
- dowels are driven into the holes;
- a damper tape is attached to the base of the guide profiles;
- guides are attached to the wall;
- Ceiling profiles (along the walls, floor, ceiling and two in the middle) are screwed to the guides using “bug” hardware. Their location can be horizontal or vertical. There is no fundamental difference here. The main thing is that the middle profiles opposite the water consumption meters are located at the width of the invisible hatch when mounted in a vertical position and at its height when mounted horizontally;
- a window under the hatch is formed. To do this, short sections of the PP profile are used to install jumpers between vertical or horizontal risers;
- a hatch is attached to the ceiling profile;
- plasterboard is being cut. It is important here that the plasterboard lies on the profile along the entire perimeter, and in the middle on one half (the other for the second sheet of drywall);
- The gypsum board is attached to the profile, forming a false wall. Drywall is also attached to the hatch;
The number of screws under the tiles increases due to the large loads on the gypsum board.
- drywall joints and recessed heads of hardware are sealed with putty. To strengthen the seams, sickle tape is glued onto the first layer of putty.
If any questions remain unclear, we advise you to look at the work “How to level walls with plasterboard with your own hands?”
After the putty has dried, work continues as usual: the surface of the floor and walls is primed with a deep penetration primer.
This operation increases the adhesion of the tile adhesive to the base of the floor and walls. If it is not “Betonokontakt” that is applied, then the soil is rubbed into the concrete and brick surface until white foam appears, a sign that the material is saturated with moisture.
It is better to apply the first layer in the afternoon, which will allow you to apply the second layer in the morning, and around lunchtime you can start laying the tiles - the second layer does not need to dry.
Fifty shades of green
Yes, this color is absolutely trendy this season 2022. It is universal, environmentally friendly, and pleasant to the eye.
In addition, green, mint, light green and khaki are always associated with shades of nature. With it you can create real comfort and an unsurpassed unique interior.
Sizes and shape of tiles
Ceramic tiles are divided into 4 types depending on their size:
- Mosaic (can be square or hexagonal), the length of one side is 1-5 cm.
- Small: square - from 6 x 6 to 20 x 20 cm, rectangular - the length of one side does not exceed 30 cm.
- Medium: square - up to 30 x 30 cm, rectangular - the length of one side does not exceed 40 cm.
- Large: the length of one side exceeds 40 cm.
Thanks to modern technologies, it has become possible to produce ceramic tiles of various shapes:
- honeycomb;
- semicircle;
- mosaic;
- rectangle;
- with wavy sides, etc.
What to consider when choosing a color
If the room is small, you definitely need to choose light shades of brown, yellow, lilac, green, gray. Cold tones are not relevant. Warm, rich colors of ocher, chocolate, purple, and blue are held in high esteem.
It all depends on the tastes of the household. You can choose simple combinations of white and black, and the toilet room will become a real highlight of the interior.
Fashionable wall and floor finishes
Choose tiles that have the greatest impact on the final look of the toilet. Just remember that you don't have to tile the walls all the way to the ceiling. You can do this only halfway and cover the rest of the walls with your chosen color, such as dark blue, green or even black. An alternative to tiles are wallpaper, photo wallpaper, and beautiful plaster. Any interior can be decorated with taste. Just think through the strategy well and develop functional solutions that will also be relevant. The right choice of materials, textures and structures, and colors can create optical wonders.

Finishing work
Floors and walls lined with ceramics look unattractive due to the empty seams. Sealing them is the finishing work. Joint jointing begins at least two days after installation: when the glue has completely dried.
The grout is diluted to the state of thick sour cream, in which a spoon can stand: a rare solution floats from the seams, a thick solution is rubbed in poorly (unevenly). Rubbing the fugue between the tiles is done with a rubber or plastic spatula. About 3 m2 of area is processed in one pass. The process is simple:
- plastic crosses are removed;
- stir the grout solution (if the fugue was purchased dry);
- use a spatula to scoop up the solution;
- the composition is applied across the seam;
- The final rubbing is carried out by passing the spatula along the seam, holding it at an angle of about 30o.
There is no need to press the spatula against the wall with force. Average effort is enough.
Traces of grout on the tiles are removed with a dry rag, since a wet rag or sponge leaves behind difficult-to-remove stains. 3-4 hours after completion of work, the filled seams are carefully inspected. In places where gaps were made or the fugue failed, the grout is rubbed in with your fingers. After this, the seams are sanded with a foam rubber sponge.
Grouting work is carried out first on the walls and then on the floor. Corners and all joints between walls and floors are filled with silicone sealant.
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.

When size matters
Everyone knows the techniques of visually enlarging a room using light colors. However, not everyone knows that the perception of the bathroom will also depend on what shape and size of tiles you prefer. The tiles are chosen based on considerations of proportionality of the room itself and the finishing elements.

Briefly about the main thing
Tiles are an ideal finishing material for the bathroom due to their combination of performance characteristics and variety of designs. Ceramics are used for wall cladding; porcelain stoneware is more suitable for flooring. The design also uses quartz vinyl and mosaic.
Any tile is selected in size based on the dimensions of the room; the appearance depends on the chosen style. For finishing, the easiest way is to choose a material from one collection; the result is guaranteed to be stylish. When purchasing, you should check the ceramics for the quality of the glaze and the accuracy of the geometric parameters.
What is important to consider before purchasing?
This is a cold material, even in the warm season it will be unpleasant to stand on it with bare feet. Installing a “warm floor” will solve the problem, but you need to think about this in advance - not all cladding options are comparable to a heating system.
Another possible “surprise” is that the coating does not improve sound insulation, despite its thickness. For these purposes, special materials that absorb sound are used.
The required quantity must be calculated in advance, based on sq.m. bathroom. Separately, you need to calculate wall and floor materials. Much more will be needed on the wall. But it is possible to save money by laying the tiles partially. We'll talk more about this later.
