Bathrooms Design Dilemma Polls

Wall hung toilet wall

last year

Hi all, I am planning wall hung toilets in my house build. I had hoped to paint the walls where they are to be hung but the builder has said I need to tile the area behind them - I don’t want to tile the whole wall and am concerned tiling just that area will look out of place. I’ve included the tile. Any advice appreciated! Thanks

There’s no reason why you have to have tiles behind the loo. Perhaps the builder was thinking of splashes and easily wiping them off?

When you say tiles the third image shows board so did you mean board?

Thanks Daisy, yes, must be from a cleanliness point or view. He also said to have something solid there.
The tile shown is a matte 120*60 porcelain tile - it’s going on the floor and shower area (the walls perpendicular to the toilet wall shown)
I was also thinking I could put a different herringbone style tile on the toilet wall - green pic below or even go up half the wall with either tile

Without knowing your tastes or lifestyle or even what this room will be used for, hard to say Flea market iron work clocks in dark brown? Like this but smaller and more...

Hi. I think the overall look is good. Large tiles do make a room feel bigger as the pattern is less busy however I've seen the hex tiles in small bathrooms and they seem to work as your inspiration pic shows. I would probably lose the flowers though if I'm honest. Do you want the window for light or ventilation? Could a decent extractor be sufficient? I'm thinking that back ŵall could look quite busy. Is there any opportunity to change the layout? Moving soil pipes can be a little costly but could the sink be moved although ideally the loo would be hidden round the corner. You can pick up some great looking vintage or vintage style taps on ebay although unsure if the quality of the repro ones, If the layout can't be changed maybe have a corner loo and ŵall hung trough sink and put some storage in on the rhs as you come through the door depending on how you plan for the shower to open

Do not buy their Plumbing fixtures. Do not buy their Plumbing fixtures. 1.Installation instructions are pathetic 2.There are no replacements parts in the USA 3.Their wall hung toilets are deffective 4.If you do need a replacement part, you are told to take a picture, send it in, they will forward it to Spain who will then let you know? 5.They have no technical support. 6.If you need and can identify the part, you will have to pay DHL at least 60.00 shipping (for the smallest item) from Spain

Tiling for tiny bathroom
Q

Hi! What was your final decision? I am also working on my tiny WC and came to the following conclusions (after 2 months spent in tile shops, looking through houzz and pinterest photos). The tiles in small spaces: 1. Should reflect. The space should not be matt and absorb the light. The glazed tile reflects the objects like a mirror and creates depth. 2. Should not be oversized. When you like the big tiles on the photo you posted - just adore them at the picture. they will not go to a tine space. Compare the size of the bathroom and the size of the tile. Try to imagine the pattern. 3. Don't be mislead by professional designs and photos (like the ones you posted and you like). Most of them are the bathrooms which are really huge in size. So the tiles that are on the picture will not go for your project. You want a small SPA oasis? Forget about concrete and metal look and all the things like that. I took a sample of concrete tile in my bath... really you feel uncomfortable, when you step on the concrete barefoot, Though I have floor heating , I wouldn't go barefoot. Its concrete!:))) Concrete is good for a big loft or industrial design, I think. 5. For a SPA - look I would opt either for the mosaic (which is classical for SPA, but be careful with that. May be monochromatic or achromatic) or wood optic tiles combined with warm white tones. 6. Much color in small bathrooms is not a good option. It is better to add it with accessories. Moreover you can change the look just by replacing your turqoise towels by grey ones. You can add dynamics only by choosing not a typical size of the white tile and making an interesting pattern. For example, for my tiny WC i have 25x75 cm tiles and will put them in a brick wall style. What I have chosen for my tiny WC is a wood optic (very light) tile for the floor and white tiles for the walls. They will cover the wall by 120 cm. The rest of the wall will be covered with wallpaper (navy blue or dark gray). Or may be just painted. Wish you good luck!

I don’t have tiles behind my loo, just paint. I used Dulux Bathroom Paint which is very easy to clean.

I like tile behind the loo for a few reasons .

Splash resistant , no transition from tile to paint to deal with and condensation proof .

Thanks Sonia and Rob.
I’m wondering what it would look like if I just tiled around the toilet/frame and painted the rest of the wall

It can look very smart. Here’s a couple of examples I found where it is tiled from top to bottom behind the loo.

Thanks a lot Sonia. It does. The problem I have is, the toilets are on quite a big wall
