Black toilet: current design trends

A black toilet is an unusual solution for a modern bathroom. Such a solution will allow you to add a zest to the design project of the room and will look very unusual. From this article, you will learn about the variety of models of black toilet bowls, quality brands and the intricacies of operation.

The appearance of a black toilet will depend on the specific characteristics of the surface. Paying attention to details is important if you want such an unusual piece of furniture to be organically combined with the decoration and furniture in the bathroom. Particular attention should be paid to the surface features and shades of color in the event that other black things are present in your interior: you should not combine different shades of the same color and different textures.

If you choose a glossy black toilet, you should be prepared for the fact that stains after cleaning and greasy stains from touching may remain on the surface. To make a glossy black toilet look good, you need to clean it thoroughly and regularly.

The shade of black also affects the overall impression. There are more saturated options or models that gravitate towards a dark gray tone. In addition, you can consider complex composite shades (for example, blue-black or black-brown), such options are now especially common in modern minimalist interiors. In addition, some models combine two colors: very often black is combined with white, gray or red.

Toilet models can be divided into two categories: floor-standing and wall-mounted. The first design option is usually a monoblock with a drain tank, which is fixed to the floor. Suspended structures are more miniature and are attached to the wall; in this case, the drain tank is usually built into the wall, but this option may be unacceptable for small rooms. Also, the drain tank can be positioned at the top or on the side.

Design models of toilets vary in shape. The standard oval version is the most neutral and generally accepted, however, when combined with a rather extravagant color, many prefer an unusual shape. For example, a square toilet can be interesting, although it is not very convenient to use. You can also find rectangular options with rounded corners, trapezium-shaped toilets or abstract streamlined shapes - all these models will add to the design of your bathroom even more original.

So that a toilet bowl with an unusual color and design does not stand out from the overall design, many decide to support this piece of furniture with a second product made in the same style. For example, it could be a bidet or a sink. The often unusual construction of these items creates a coherent ensemble and perfectly underlines the progressive interior design.

To buy a really high-quality product, it is important to pay attention to the brand and the country of origin.According to reviews, the best price-quality ratio is demonstrated by Russian and Belarusian manufacturers, but European brands should also be considered. With caution, you should consider models from China: despite the attractive prices, such a product is often of poor quality, however, if you are sure of a specific manufacturer, you can make a bargain purchase.

• In the Russian market, the Chinese Arcus trademark... These are high-quality budget products that will allow you to save on repairs. In addition, this large company offers a huge variety of models: you can find a lot of unusual modern square-shaped toilets with a matte finish.
• It is also popular in plumbing stores and Russian brand "Elissa"characterized by original design solutions. Prices for such toilets are slightly higher, and the range is narrower, but the design of the models is very unusual and unique. You can find interesting abstract toilet bowls, as well as stylish models that combine different colors and textures.

The black toilet is a catchy detail that will not fit into any interior. First of all, the bathroom should be considered in modern styles: "high-tech", "minimalism" or "pop art". In addition, some models may look unusual in an eclectic interior: if you are close to a combination of incongruous, it is interesting to combine a fashionable black toilet bowl with stucco molding in a classic style and with wooden elements referring to the country style.

In modern interiors, light finishes are very often done. With white walls and floors, a black toilet will look good if you have a small bathroom. If the space is vast, it is worth considering more complex shades: for example, blue, beige, gray and other pastel colors. In addition, you can also choose such deep dark shades as burgundy, emerald or brown. Finally, a wide variety of bright accessories will look great with a black toilet.

For the style of "minimalism" matte options are often chosen, and for "hi-tech" a glossy surface is suitable. In addition, glossy elements allow you to visually expand the narrow space of the room. The combination of glossy and matte surfaces in the interior looks interesting, but this is typical only for spacious rooms.

The black color of the toilet has its own specifics in care.

• It is important to protect the product from deep scratches and chips. Small scratches may not be visible on a dark surface, however, if you damage the top coat of paint, the toilet will be ruined. For the matte version, it will be possible to choose the right paint, and on glossy models, any flaws will be obvious.
• For cleaning plaque on a dark surface, you should not use bleaching agents for the care of plumbing fixtures: with prolonged use, they can damage the enamel.
• On a glossy black toilet, water after washing can leave streaks that will ruin the entire design experience. For cleaning, use a quality glass cleaner and special lint-free wipes.

A black toilet is an unusual interior detail, which not everyone decides to purchase.

If you are thinking about adding a twist to your bathroom, consider some interesting design options.

• If you are planning a modern bathroom interior in dark colors, the black toilet will harmoniously complement the finish with dark tiles: unlike the traditional white version, it will not draw attention to itself.At the same time, the emphasis can be made not on the toilet at all, but on other details that contrast with black (for example, it can be a bright sink, shelves, or the decoration of one wall).
• If you appreciate abstract unusual shapes, you should not overuse details in the interior: such plumbing will already look catchy and noticeable. To support an unusual toilet, you can choose a washbasin that matches the color of the toilet and matches it in shape.
• Models that combine two colors can look very stylish (for example, it can be a simple white toilet with a black lid). This is the perfect solution for graphic styles: crisp lines, contrasts and simple colors create an interesting atmosphere in a small space.
