When decorating the bathroom, it is important to pay attention to the rational use of space. Many families now do not install toilets because the toilet counter takes up space and it is also troublesome to clean on a regular basis. So how to decorate a house without a toilet? How to make reasonable use of space in bathroom decoration? Let’s have a detailed understanding of the relevant matters.
Many families nowadays choose not to install toilets when decorating their bathrooms, considering the small size of the bathroom space. This is also in order to make reasonable use of the space. So how can we decorate a house without a toilet? How to make reasonable use of space in bathroom decoration? Let’s have a detailed understanding of the relevant matters.
How to decorate a house without a toilet?
1. With the continuous rise of housing prices, the size and size of houses are constantly taking on a compact form. Currently, most houses are mainly small in size, and many small bathrooms are designed with shower rooms, so there is no extra space for toilets. Therefore, smart families do not install toilets in their homes. They can achieve the design of both shower rooms and toilets, which is to design toilets in shower rooms, while also saving a lot of money.
2. The installation in the picture above includes a bathroom cabinet, toilet, and bathtub, but the bathroom is also too crowded and doesn’t look good at all. So stop pretending like this. Smart people would design toilets in shower rooms instead of finding a corner to install a toilet in a small bathroom, which would also be uncomfortable to use. Moreover, our design eliminates the need for floor drains, allowing for faster drainage, and also saves water. Even shower water can flush the toilet.
3. In terms of usage area, this approach is the most suitable for small bathroom areas, fully utilizing space and having powerful functions. This way, you can fit the bathroom cabinet, and after installation, the installation work looks very spacious without appearing crowded.
4. In addition, if a slightly larger bathroom can accommodate a shower room and toilet, if we are struggling with installing a toilet or a squatting toilet, we can design it this way by directly installing the squatting toilet in the shower room, so that there is no need to struggle. I have both things.
4. Many people think that designing a squat pit in the shower room often involves stepping in while taking a shower. Isn’t this very troublesome? We can add a cover plate like the one shown in the picture, which can be covered when not in use and does not affect drainage. If your home is being renovated, you might as well give it a try.
How to make reasonable use of space in bathroom decoration?
1. The utilization of walls and corners. When decorating the walls of the bathroom, it is important to fully consider the potential storage efficiency of the walls. If there are a lot of things that need to be placed, it is advisable to use a combination of storage cabinets and shelves, while combining open and closed, not only to design the storage space, but also to avoid the common messy phenomenon in small bathroom units.
2. Make a shelf above the embedded toilet. In small bathroom units, embedded toilets can be used as the toilet. There is no conventional water tank design, which provides more usable space on the wall. Therefore, without affecting the use of the toilet, this space can be used to make some shelves, which can be made of glass, wood, etc. The shelves can be placed with toilet paper, detergent, women’s hygiene products, etc.
3. The open bathroom boldly breaks through spatial limitations. Young people with a fashionable and avant-garde lifestyle concept can try a unique way of life when designing small apartments. When the space is too small to meet bathing requirements, it is advisable to boldly adopt an open design and officially introduce a bath as a part of life enjoyment.
4. Mirror cabinet stretching space. Small units are suitable for choosing bathroom mirror furniture with reasonable design. Not only can the commonly used small items in the bathroom, such as towels, cleaning supplies, or small appliances, be cleverly hidden behind the mirror, but also due to the overall mirror design, it can stretch out multiple times the sense of space.
The decoration of the bathroom must pay attention to the method of decoration, and pay attention to the rational use of space, especially for some small family members who can choose the above methods to decorate the bathroom. This not only provides a place for bathing, but also solves the problem of family members going to the bathroom. The above is an introduction to how to decorate a house without a toilet and how to make reasonable use of space in bathroom decoration. I hope it can help everyone.
What details to pay attention to when hiding water tanks and wall mounted toilets
Composition of wall mounted toilets
For wall mounted toilets, they are composed of a floor mounted water tank, toilet, and connectors. So when installing a wall mounted toilet, it is necessary to redo the installation of the drainage pipeline and the installation of the floor mounted water tank, especially the hidden design of the water tank.
How to install wall mounted toilets and hidden water tanks for floor drainage toilets
For ground drainage, there are two ways to install wall mounted toilets and hidden water tanks. The construction methods of the two methods are different, but the drainage and aesthetic effects achieved are different.
Install wall mounted toilets and hidden water tanks by changing the main drainage pipeline
For wall mounted toilets, water drainage is a wall mounted design. Although it has stronger impact, there are certain requirements for drainage pipes. The drainage pipes should be as straight as possible without turning, which makes drainage smoother and more convenient to use. The specific installation steps are as follows:
Firstly, according to the blueprint design of the bathroom, the position of the wall mounted toilet water tank should be carefully marked;
Fix the wall mounted toilet water tank by drilling holes, and note that it is only temporarily fixed, mainly for the convenience of connecting drainage pipes;
Cut the height of the wall mounted toilet water tank at the main drainage pipe position in the bathroom, make a tee at the main drainage pipe position, and then connect a new horizontal drainage pipe;
Connect the new horizontal drainage pipeline to the hidden water tank;
Arrange the tap water pipe at the location of the wall mounted water tank and reserve the outlet water level;
Pre set another water level and potential at the height of the toilet cover in the wall mounted water tank position, making it convenient for later use of the intelligent toilet cover;
Connect the tap water of the wall mounted water tank, connect the drainage pipeline in place, and fix the wall mounted toilet water tank firmly;
Use bricks to build the wall mounted toilet water tank, so that the tank has become hidden. When building the water tank, it is possible to create a shape that will make it more attractive. At the same time, it is necessary to reserve the position of the inspection port, usually using the cover plate above the water tank as the movable cover plate for the inspection port;
When the bathroom decoration enters the final stage, the toilet installation will be completed, so that the drainage installation, wall mounted toilet, and hidden water tank are all completed.
Install wall mounted toilets and concealed water tanks by using existing drainage pipes
For changing the floor drainage to wall mounted toilets and hidden water tanks, many people cannot accept that the water tank exceeds the wall because the thickness of the water tank is usually about 20 centimeters. Then, with the size of the toilet added, it is convenient to use the bathroom directly. Therefore, the water tank needs to be inserted into the wall. The installation steps for the body are as follows:
Firstly, draw a line on the fixed wall position of the wall mounted toilet in the bathroom;
Use tools to remove the wall at the drawing position,
After the removal is completed, the wall will be painted;
Conduct slot construction on the ground from the original drainage outlet to the water tank connection drainage outlet, and be careful not to cut the steel reinforcement cage during slot construction;
Arrange the water level and potential of the water pipe, including the water level for installing the intelligent toilet cover in the later stage;
Apply waterproof paint to the grooved position on the ground and let it dry;
Use the connection accessories of the wall mounted toilet, connect the original drainage outlet to the water tank position, and conduct a test with water to check if the newly connected drainage pipeline is leaking;
Apply waterproof and sealing materials around the already connected ground drainage pipes to ensure that there is no water seepage around them;
Use a cement board to seal the front of the hidden water tank, and then make a cement mortar layer to apply tiles at an affordable later stage. When sealing, reserve the pressing port, drainage port, inlet, and fixing port of the water tank;
The next step is to carry out waterproof construction and tile laying in the bathroom;
Wait until the decoration enters the later stage and complete the installation of the toilet.
The above two methods are both used for floor drainage and instead use wall mounted toilets and hidden water tanks. However, the results achieved vary depending on the method. According to these two methods, the first method is better, which is to hide the water tank by changing the main pipeline and letting it out of the wall. This makes maintenance more convenient and the drainage effect will be better during later use.
Precautions for changing floor drainage to wall mounted toilets and hidden water tanks
For changing the floor drainage system to a wall mounted toilet, it is important to avoid using a water trap during pipeline renovation, as the use of a water trap can cause poor drainage. Moreover, current toilets come with their own odor prevention function and do not need to use a water trap to prevent odor;
After the tap water is connected to the water tank, there is a switch inside the water tank. Only by turning on the switch can tap water enter the water tank;
Many people will replace the toilet cover and replace it with a smart toilet cover after installing the wall mounted toilet. This is completely possible, as long as the water level and potential are reserved in the early stage;
There is a filtering device inside the wall mounted toilet water tank, so for cities with poor water quality, it is recommended to install a filter in the inlet pipe to effectively prevent impurities from entering the water tank;
The height of the wall mounted toilet is crucial, and it should not be installed too high or too low, which may affect the comfort of use.
