The toilet, like the bathroom, is the place where people spend the most intimate part of their life. Of course, everyone wants to feel cozy and comfortable in this room. In addition, modern design dictates its own rules, which makes the owners of residential square meters decorate their apartments in an original way. These factors influence the fact that designers very often began to decorate the toilet in black colors. The advantages of this decor are undeniable.

Despite the fact that black color may seem too gloomy to someone for the interior of the toilet, with proper use of it, you can get a modern and cozy room that will indicate the delicate taste and sense of style of the owner of the house. Black is soothing, so a washroom in this tone will help you focus and wake up in the morning. Black creates successful combinations with all possible shades. Thanks to this feature, the owners of the apartment have great opportunities to create a unique interior.

To decorate a toilet in black, first of all, you need to know the main rules, which are extremely important to follow if you really want to get a unique interior of the toilet.

• There are much more problems with the black range than with other variations of colors in the finish, and the requirements for such a color are much more stringent, so you need to immediately be prepared for any unwanted difficulties.

• You should not decorate all the walls exclusively in black. In this case, one law applies: if the room is small, there should be few black surfaces. This is an important condition for toilet design. In the dark version, one third of the entire area of ​​such a room should be made. For example, you can lay out the floor with dark tiles, decorate the walls with the same material, while combining dark tiles with light tiles. You can, on the contrary, sheathe the walls with dark tiles, and make the floor light.

• If the toilet is large and spacious, then 60-70% of all surfaces can be made in black. The classic washroom has six planes: floor, ceiling and walls. If black was chosen for the decoration, then it is better to make the floor and ceiling in light colors, and make all the walls dark. The second version of the decoration is as follows: the floor and 3 walls are decorated with black tiles, and the ceiling and the last wall are laid out with light sheathing decor.

By following these simple rules, you can get the perfect washroom color combination.

A raven-winged toilet is a real designer challenge. You need to choose the right pair for this color, because it is very easy to spoil an ingenious idea, but not everyone can cope with this task. As interior design professionals have noticed, the dark tone is ideally combined with the cream (sandy, peach) and white shades - they create the most successful combinations. Black absorbs light, while white and cream, on the contrary, reflect it, that is, these colors will balance the darkness, make the interior "livelier" and more harmonious.

However, not all combinations are good, you need to be able to combine shades and play them correctly.

Today you can get acquainted with the recommendations of the masters, which are worth studying before starting repairs in the restroom.

• The black and white duo is a classic solution in the interior.It never gets old, it looks exquisite and attractive. Rich contrast creates a stunning visual impact. But it is worth being extremely careful, since it is believed that the charcoal color has a depressing effect on a person and its excessive use can negatively affect the nervous system.

• In order to prevent the overwhelming effect, you need to observe the measure and avoid too frequent changes of black and light colors on any surfaces. Some designers recommend laying out the tiles in a checkerboard pattern, but in the case of this color scheme, this is not entirely the right decision. Laying like a checkerboard can be done on a small area in the restroom (for example, in the area behind the toilet, since this is a small piece of the wall that will not greatly affect the overall impression of the situation in the bathroom).

• A great option is a combination of colors on the walls. Since there are an even number of them in the toilet, two can be made in black, and the rest in white or cream. Accordingly, the colors must be alternated.

• Another solution is to divide one wall into two zones (horizontally or vertically). If the horizontal option of dividing was chosen, then it is worthwhile to make the lower part of the wall in a dark color, and the upper part in a light one, add small inclusions in the form of borders, tiles-inserts, due to which the composition will become integral and unified.

• When it comes to flooring, it can withstand any transition from black to white. You just need to consider the size of the restroom. If the toilet is small, it is not worth covering the floor with large tiles in a checkerboard pattern. This approach will reduce an already compact bathroom, so a small tile would be the best choice.

• To make the floor in the toilet visually wider and longer, experts advise using different techniques. Alternatively, lay out the tiles in stripes with alternating colors. For example, red and black stripes will make the room look larger.

• The diagonal stacking method also has an interesting effect on humans. The toilet, designed in this way, becomes more voluminous.

• The trend of recent years has become the way of decorating the restroom with slab tiles. With the help of such a decor, you can create interesting compositions resembling a spruce.

It is undeniable that a stronger contrast is given by a black and white combination of colors., if you use a cream tile, then there will be no such catchy drop. As a result, the interior will be calmer and softer. Such decoration of the room will have a positive effect on the well-being and mood of the property owners, and the plus is that there is no need to install a large number of lighting fixtures in the bathroom.

As a decor, the best solution would be to use facing tiles with different patterns and ornaments. Tiles with gold, silver or colored designs will do. Also, the gloominess of black will eliminate a light border or pano.

An overabundance of decor in a small toilet can harm the interior., so it is better to choose a small number of decorative elements. It is better to dilute the darkness with useful and necessary accessories in the bathroom with glossy and sparkling surfaces (a toilet paper holder or a tap, if a small sink is provided for washing hands).

No room in the house will be optimized without adequate lighting. There are almost never windows in the toilet, that is, there can be no question of any natural light, the sun's rays do not enter this room, which means that it is necessary to illuminate this space artificially.

In a dark toilet, a single ceiling light is not enough. The lamp in the form of a tablet was popular in ancient times, when communal apartments represented most of the real estate. In modern apartments, this approach to lighting a bathroom is unacceptable.In addition to the lighting function, the luminous fluxes in the washroom also fulfill design tasks: they highlight the necessary zones and emphasize the stylishness of the furnishings. Luminaires with directing light beams draw attention to certain areas and make the room more comfortable.

A dark bathroom evokes dark associations. It will always seem uncomfortable in such a room, and staying in it will be reduced to a few minutes. The correct lighting system in a duet with successful toilet lining will make even the most modest bathroom stylish and fashionable. In such an interior, the walls and ceiling will never act depressingly on a person.

Meanwhile, there should not be too much light. It is enough to install a center luminaire on the ceiling and mount a pair of sconces or small lighting devices on the walls. The lighting shouldn't be too aggressive. It is necessary to avoid streams of light that hit the eyes. Lamps in the toilet should be hidden under shades or lampshades.

Currently, buying a toilet is not difficult for buyers, except that, due to the large assortment of this type of goods, it is sometimes difficult to make a choice in favor of a particular model. Modern products have a different shape and depth of the bowl, the height of the toilet seat, a different installation system and control method, as well as color. You will not surprise anyone with standard white toilets, which cannot be said about black bowls.

The interior of a bathroom with a black toilet is a truly non-standard solution. An earth-colored bowl doesn't fit into every washroom style. However, if you correctly arrange the environment, such an interesting product will be able to highlight the style direction and recreate the necessary atmosphere and color. Dark colored plumbing fits well into interiors of such directions as "high-tech", "glamor", "art deco". In a high-tech bathroom, a dark bowl will accentuate the chosen extraordinary setting, while in art deco and glamorous styles it will reproduce a luxurious atmosphere.
