Small seperate toilet - Revamp ideas
Hello,
Looking at doing some small improvements to my current seperate toilet. It is a small area that is functioning but it needs some sprucing up.
I am contemplating buying a basin and toilet unit so as you can wash your hands in there.. they would be the only suitable option as I think it's a bit squeezy for a small wall basin.
I would prefer to find an option to tie in the tiles.
Other option is to resurface the tiles to something plain white to allow more options.
I could also just resurface the line of tiles on the wall to something complimentary to the brown floor tiles (currently the wall ones are the ones I really don't like, but they are minimal)
I am thinking of making a frame with a shelf to insert into the window cavity and put plants of something decorative on it. The window is old ugly brown aluminium that has paint all around the edges.
Note, the timber hallway flooring at entrance will be painted white once finished.

Comments (14)can't do that as it would block entry to either bathroom or laundry. All the doors in this house are strange, non fit flush again st the wall thus loosing floor space, I thought maybe bi fold doors would solve these issues not sure about a bifold on the loo...See MoreExtra toilet in bathroom add value?
Comments (4)I would be careful spending money on a bathroom renovation just prior to selling. You will need to do your sums and research carefully to be confident that the $15,000 or so spent will result in a better return for your investment. If it was my only bathroom I probably wouldn't want to live there during the renovation. As it is a small 3 bedroom unit in an outer suburban area then the household will probably be a smaller size, possibly a couple, or downsizers. Less likely to be a family with three kids. A smaller household would probably prefer a wider vanity and more storage than an extra toilet. If I was selling I would keep the current arrangement, replace the cabinetwork and mirror, improve the lighting and give everything a good clean.

Comments (16)it' not the size of the toilet that matters, it's the size of the humans that need to use it ...allowing anything less than 80cm x 80cm for knee and elbow space, plus more for standing room plus extra for any swing doors and more space for a handbasins and with no other toilet on the ground floor the best option is a separate toilet and i would steal some space off the laundry to make a more comfortable powder room..and the different floor levels don't always prevent stealing some space off the laundry but what is the size of the laundry, including ceiling height at the wall closest to the back of the existing toilet and is the laundry ceiling flat or raked and how many steps are there between lowest floor and bathroom floor?...See More

3 years agoI like the dark wall you’ve started to paint, and I actually quite like your floor tiles. A warm black paint would look best with the tiles, something like Benjamin Moore’s black beauty. And I would match the wall tile colour to be the same as the wall (I.e. black tile paint). I have used one of those cistern sinks and didn’t like it personally (sink too small and water gets everywhere). If there is a sink nearby you could do without one in the room? I love the idea of a shelf with lots of plants, a chunky slab of oiled wood would be lovely against the black. We topped our toilet room with a chunky pendant to draw the eye upward away from the toilet. We don’t have a sink but the bathroom is right next door and it works ok.
