Toilet Closet Ideas: Transforming Your Small Space
Toilet Closet Ideas: Transforming Your Small Space
Just because your toilet closet (or WC) is small doesn’t mean it has to feel cramped or uninspiring! With the right design tricks and clever product choices, you can turn even the tiniest space into a stylish and functional retreat. Whether you’re working with a narrow downstairs loo, a compact ensuite, or a snug cloakroom, here are some toilet closet ideas to help you make the most of your space.
1. Choose Space-Saving Fixtures
When working with a small toilet closet, compact fixtures are essential. A wall-hung toilet or a short projection toilet can save valuable floor space, making the room feel bigger and more open.

2. Maximise Vertical Space
With limited floor space, think upwards! Utilising the walls for storage and decoration can help keep your toilet closet uncluttered.
- Install floating shelves above the toilet for extra storage.
- Use tall, slim cabinets to store toilet rolls and cleaning supplies.
- Opt for a wall-mounted vanity unit to keep the floor clear.

3. Play with Colour and Patterns
Colour can transform how a small space feels. Darker tones create a cosy, sophisticated vibe, while lighter shades make the room feel open and airy. If you love a bold look, patterned tiles or wallpaper can turn your toilet closet into a design statement.
Pro Tip: If you’re nervous about going all-in with patterns, try an accent wall behind the toilet or vanity.

4. Upgrade Your Lighting
Good lighting is key to making a small toilet closet feel bigger. Wall-mounted lights, LED mirrors, or even a statement pendant light can elevate the space.
- Backlit mirrors help brighten up the area.
- Soft, warm lighting makes the room feel more inviting.
- Recessed lighting can save space while adding a modern touch.

5. Add Clever Storage Solutions
Storage is often a challenge in small toilet closets, but hidden and multi-functional storage can make a huge difference.
- Use over-the-toilet shelving to store essentials.
- Hang baskets on the walls for a decorative yet functional touch.
- Use mirrored cabinets to store toiletries while reflecting light.
6. Make It Feel Luxurious
Even a tiny WC can feel high-end with the right touches. Small details like gold or black hardware, plush hand towels, and stylish accessories can add a touch of elegance.
- Upgrade your toilet roll holder and taps for a cohesive look.
- Add a scented candle or reed diffuser to create a fresh atmosphere.
- Incorporate artwork or prints to add personality to the space.
7. Keep It Clutter-Free
A minimalist approach works best in small spaces. Keep surfaces as clear as possible, store away any unnecessary items, and choose furniture with built-in storage to keep things neat.
