Tiles are considered the most practical material for bathrooms. In addition, she can look very stylish and beautiful. Moreover, now designers come up with something new every season. We have collected the most interesting tile designs in the toilet that are at the peak of fashion in 2022.
Concrete texture
Simple tiles without a pattern are very popular now. But so that it does not look boring, it is given the texture of other materials. For example, concrete or stone. It looks equally good both on the walls and on the floor. To avoid overdoing it, these tiles are usually combined with white ones.
In addition, quite often plain tiles are made three-dimensional: with protrusions and depressions. This adds depth to a small closet space. Another interesting move is tiles of the same color, but different sizes. Almost no one else has anything like this!
This season, designers quite often prefer black. But to prevent the bathroom from looking too gloomy, combine it with white or gray. Take a closer look - it looks very elegant.
Accessories for a stylish toilet in 2022
Every detail is important in toilet design. All elements must be in harmony with each other, since in a small area any shortcomings are immediately noticeable. If you are not sure that you will create a harmonious whole, choose accessories from one collection.
Imitation stone
Tiles that imitate stone have been found in interior design for a long time. But now new methods of using it have appeared. For example, not only in gray-brown tones, but interspersed with brighter colors.
These tiles look very expressive, so you shouldn’t lay them on more than one wall. Usually the back wall of the toilet is chosen for these purposes. It can be either flat or with a shelf - this is always convenient.
This season, you should pay special attention to the combination of white and black and sand and gray. In the first case, the toilet will look strict, but at the same time catchy. In the second - cozy and reminiscent of nature.
By the way, it is not necessary to lay out the entire wall with tiles imitating stone. If you think everything through well, you can combine 4 types of tiles in one toilet. Two on the back wall, one neutral on the sides and one darker on the floor.
You need to remember just one rule: we select the rest of the tiles to match the colors that are found on the stone. It is desirable that the drawing be minimal. When in doubt, go with plain white tiles. It goes with everything.
The interior, based on a combination of three colors, also looks win-win. It can be a combination of gray and white, to which you can add absolutely any shade. The smaller the room, the more muted tones we would recommend choosing. Exclusively for your own comfort.
What to consider when designing a small toilet?
Given:
Most standard bathrooms in panel houses are supplied with floor-standing toilets. And during the next renovation of the toilet, apartment owners at most replace the old floor-standing toilet with a newer model.
What to do:
remove the tank.
This can be done, for example, if you replace the traditional compact (toilet with a built-in tank) with a wall-hung one - as in the photo. This gives a gain in centimeters: the distance to the door becomes greater.
A solution with an upper tank is not suitable if there is a sewer riser immediately behind the toilet, which must be accessed through a technical cabinet. In other words, you cannot “brick up” communications tightly in order to hang a tank on them.
The solution would be a toilet with an installation - a built-in cistern (as in the photo). The thickness of the installation and the tank is still less than the same volume of a monoblock toilet. The design looks visually lighter, and the floor under the toilet is much easier to clean. And repairs, if necessary, are easily carried out through a removable button. The upper part of the plumbing cabinet remains in the access zone and does not block access to communications.
2. Sink for washing hands
Given:
in new buildings, a place is usually already provided for a washbasin. And in the small toilet there was no plan for a sink. And there seems to be absolutely no room to squeeze it in. When renovating a toilet in a panel house, it is extremely important to find a place for a sink. This will at least reduce the load on the main bathroom.
Wood effect tiles
Previously, wood-look tiles were used in hallways and corridors, but now the fashion has reached toilet rooms. One of the most stylish, laconic techniques is to use the same type of tile on the back wall of the toilet and on the floor.
If you like dark colors, combine these tiles with gloss. It will add the necessary volume to the space. And it is not necessary to lay wood-effect tiles to the entire height of the wall - for practicality, a meter is enough. And above you can simply paint it.
Do you like niches or need to cover hatches in the wall? It’s cool when these areas are decorated with the same tiles. Yes, such work requires more skill. But believe me, the visual effect is worth it. In addition, if the master refuses to perform such work, it will be possible to draw a conclusion about his professional skills.
Although even metal doors can look great in a strict, seasoned interior. The main thing is that they cover the entire width of the wall and match the color of the rest of the interior. This way they won't attract too much unnecessary attention to themselves.
Recently, wood-look tiles with additional patterns have begun to appear. It looks quite fresh. But in this case, the rest of the interior should be minimalistic so that the eyes do not run wild in a confined space.

The decision to “not combine” the bathroom with the toilet is correct. Despite the misconceptions of many about the ineffectiveness of such a choice, it is worth clearly realizing that this approach will be optimal for functional zoning. Before starting renovation work, it is better to look through articles where a toilet and a bathtub in the same style, photos of which prove not only functionality, but also aesthetics.
The main feature of a bathroom in a panel apartment is its small area.
Noble marble
Noble marble, as well as its more affordable imitation, is a strong trend that has been at the top for several seasons. And we want to assure you: it will not go out of fashion for a very long time! Because it seems to be the stuff that everyone likes.
Previously, only single compositions made of marble were considered stylish. Now the drawing can be chaotic. This greatly facilitates the work of craftsmen and reduces the cost of purchasing tiles. But you shouldn’t split the drawing too much either - choose large samples.
But regarding gloss and matte, the options may be different. Just keep in mind that glossy tiles are more difficult to maintain. Especially if it's on the floor. Luckily, marble can be combined with other fashion trends, such as wood, stone or concrete tiles.
The color of the marble itself does not have to be restrained. Why not turn to the theme of space? A dark background with complex patterns will make your bathroom non-standard. At the same time, it will give you a feeling of peace and relaxation.
Bricks or “hog”
Popular in Soviet times, simple white brick-shaped tiles are now enjoying huge popularity again. It's all about its versatility - such tiles look harmonious in any style: from classic to loft.
The most common color is, of course, white. There is no need to be afraid of this. In any case, the bathroom is one of those rooms that you will clean most often. To prevent the toilet from being associated with a hospital, add bright colors or patterns.
In general, with a “hog” it is very easy to create a mega-stylish bathroom with minimal investment. Simply lay the tiles to a height just below the middle of the wall, and paint higher up. Several posters, an original lamp and a mirror in an interesting frame - the bathroom, like something out of fashionable interior magazines, is ready.
And in general, it’s time to go beyond one color. “Boar” looks organic in other shades. For example, in asphalt gray or sea green. Do you want variety? You can play with the patterns of the floor tiles.
Honeycomb
Another undisputed hit is tiles in the shape of a honeycomb. Designers have already experimented with laying out entire walls with it, so they are now looking for new techniques. One of them is very large tiles. As well as a layout that goes from the walls to the floor.
It is fashionable to combine honeycombs of different colors or even with different patterns. The base is most often white, which is complemented by gray, black and tiles in the color of natural wood. Spanish-style honeycomb-shaped tiles are also popular. We will tell you more about this trend below.
Such tiles can move not only from one plane to another, but even from one room to another. To combine it with models of other forms, masters must be real craftsmen. But the effect of creating an interior with such tiles definitely deserves more investment and waiting time.
Various design options for a separate bathroom
In one apartment you cannot create a separate bathroom design in completely different styles. This approach is considered bad form. In order not to make mistakes, you must adhere to these rules.
Combining a bathroom with a toilet will be justified only if you live alone or, at most, together.
- Classic style is always in fashion. This option is relevant for calm household members or dynamic nature. The basis is elegance, moderate color schemes, smooth transitions in the decor. The room is decorated with a central element - the bathroom. A massive mirror in an antique frame must hang on the wall.
- Art Nouveau loves an abundance of mirror surfaces and crystals. It allows you to increase the square meter using visual expansion.
The plumbing fixtures must match the size of your bathroom.
- Ecological design – this includes country and eco-style. Stone, wood, and other natural materials are always used in the arrangement. The main thing here is to choose things that do not deteriorate from humidity.
- For minimalism, it is forbidden to use flashy forms. The furniture is made of plastic, glass, steel (the space will expand due to merging with the internal space into a single whole).
Spanish style tiles
This trend began with small tiles in bright colors and with active patterns. Yellow-red-blue tiles have massively filled interiors, so now designers treat them with caution. And now more discreet options are often offered.
But if that same classic Spanish tile has sunk into your soul, don’t rush to get upset. It can fit quite organically into the interior of the toilet. You just need to choose white or beige as the background color.
If you prefer calmer tones, you can go for other experiments. For example, combine Spanish tiles with honeycombs. The main thing is that they are connected by the same color scheme. You can study the rating of entrance doors to an apartment in 2022 by following the link.
Don't want to rack your brains over choosing several types of tiles? Use the same model on the wall and floor. In this case, the interior will look seamless. And guests will definitely ask who you turned to for design development.
You should choose tiles with a large pattern only if you have a combined bathroom. Make sure there is enough free space in the room. Still, try not to place a mirror against a wall with such a finish. Otherwise, it will seem that the tiles with the pattern are much larger than they actually are.
What materials are best to use?
Tile is the undisputed leader in the design of bathrooms. At the same time, interior plaster and putty are quite appropriate in the toilet, because... there is no abundance of splashes here, as in a bathroom or a shared toilet.
Washable wallpaper can also be used. You just need to choose the right texture and print. Paintable wallpaper is affordable in price. In addition, they can be easily given a new look using a can of paint and a regular stencil.
Plastic is easy to install, hygienic and comes in a wide range of colors. With its help, it is easy to disguise pipes and achieve ideal contours of the room.
Interior paints also have their advantage. Especially when the interior is done in an ethnic or environmental style.
Emphasis on the floor
Who said that the accent must be placed on the back wall of the toilet? A floor decorated with expressive tiles can cope with this task perfectly. It will look cool if the paint or plain tiles on the walls match the color of the floor perfectly.
This is a good solution for very small bathrooms. The floor does not eat up the volume of space, but the toilet looks thoughtful and stylish. By the way, among the most popular colors this season are all shades of turquoise, dark blue and emerald.
You can safely combine 2-3 techniques mentioned above. It is important that the color and stylistic solution be consistent. It is better to take only one bright color and one active pattern or texture. Good luck!
