The guest toilet causes headaches for many builders. Not only the lack of space is a trigger, but also the facility! Fixed elements such as toilets and sinks offer little scope for creativity. But even if the guest toilet is only limited to a few square meters, it does not necessarily have to remain a purely practical room. With clever planning and the right furnishing elements, you can perfectly harmonize design and functionality – regardless of the size of the bathroom.
Do you want to get the most out of your guest bathroom? In our guide, we explain what needs to be considered when furnishing your guest bathroom and show you examples of how you can make the guest bathroom practical and inviting despite the limited space . Let yourself be inspired!
The guest toilet floor plan is often small. In addition, there are the sanitary elements such as the washbasin and toilet, which have their fixed position in the room due to the waste water and fresh water pipes . In order to be able to set up the guest toilet in the best possible way, you should start from the beginning. This means that you should first consider all the elements that influence the ambiance of the room and should be considered when planning. After all, the end result depends on the perfect interaction of all individual room elements .
Furnishing elements of a guest toilet:

The properties of the guest toilet facilities are important for a sensible guest toilet design ! If these are taken into account during planning, space can be saved and a homely atmosphere can be achieved.
If you want to furnish your small guest toilet in an attractive way, you should observe these six principles:
| 1. If possible , use wall-hanging furniture and sanitary objects to make the floor area appear larger.2. Use small, narrow and flat furnishings . Recommendable for furniture are above all built-in modules and custom -made products, which fit wonderfully into the room conditions and fill niches.
3. Choose different shapes and colors for the objects , e.g. B. angular toilets, black fittings, etc. These set exciting accents in the guest toilet. 4. In contrast to bathroom furniture and sanitary objects, you can use large models for bathroom mirrors . In this way, the room appears larger. 5. For less cleaning effort and a greater feeling of space, we recommend equipping the bathroom with large-format tiles , several single-colored surfaces and individual accents (such as mosaic strips, murals, etc.). 6. Less is more – if you set up a small guest toilet, you should pay attention to a small number of furnishings . The room quickly appears overcrowded and overwhelms the bathroom user. |

In an ideally furnished guest toilet, accessories such as toilet paper or brushes are also easily accessible and easy to find from the toilet . Unusual furniture or accessories are wonderful eye-catchers, but not always intuitive to use. So avoid unnecessary confusion.
