When space is tight, every fixture needs to pull its weight - literally. Picking the right toilet for a small bathroom can mean the difference between cramped chaos and clever comfort. Short-projection pans, wall-hung designs, and sleek back-to-wall models help you make the most of every inch, leaving room for movement, storage, and maybe even a cheeky bathroom plant.

BUCO’s range of toilets for small bathrooms makes it easy to combine function with style. From compact classics to modern statement pieces, you can create a tiny bathroom that just works.

Here’s how.

Standard toilets often take up more space than a small bathroom allows. When choosing a toilet for a narrow bathroom, consider models specifically designed with compact dimensions. Look for shorter projection lengths and reduced widths, which free up space for movement and additional fixtures.

Depth, width, and projection affect bathroom flow. A small toilet should allow enough clearance for comfortable seating, door swing, and access to other fixtures. Considering these factors early ensures a layout that feels open rather than cramped.

The style, colour, and shape of a toilet also impact the perception of space. Light-coloured, streamlined designs create a sense of openness, while rounded edges or floating models enhance both safety and style in tiny bathrooms.

Wall-hung toilets lift off the floor, creating visual space and a floating appearance. They are ideal for tiny bathrooms and provide the added benefit of adjustable height for comfort.

Corner toilets make use of otherwise wasted space. Perfect for very compact rooms, they allow for practical placement while maintaining accessibility and comfort.

Nano-compact or short-projection toilets reduce the front-to-back length of the pan, making them perfect for narrow bathroom installations without sacrificing seating comfort.

One-piece models combine the tank and bowl into a single unit, offering a sleek, modern look that is easy to clean. Their compact form factor is perfect for small bathrooms where every centimetre counts.

Accurate measurements are crucial. Measure the bathroom length, width, entry clearance, and distances to plumbing points. This ensures the chosen small toilet fits comfortably and leaves enough room for movement and storage.

The location of your soil pipe and water supply affects which toilet type is suitable. Wall-hung and corner models may require specific plumbing configurations, so check compatibility before selecting a fixture.

Small bathrooms benefit from clever storage solutions. Floating vanities, built-in shelving, and concealed cisterns free up floor space while maintaining functionality.

Choose a toilet that complements your bathroom’s design, whether modern, minimalist, traditional, or compact. Smooth finishes, neutral colours, and sleek profiles help small bathrooms feel larger and brighter. Explore BUCO’s bathroom furniture for complementary storage and style options.

Slimline basins, wall-mounted accessories, and floating vanities make rooms feel more open. Use light colours and reflective surfaces to visually expand space. Practical lighting choices, such as wall sconces or overhead LEDs, further enhance the sense of openness. These tips are ideal for family, tenant, or guest bathrooms where every centimetre matters.

Comfort height vs standard height can impact usability. Wall-hung toilets allow for adjustable installation, while compact back-to-wall models often have optimised seating heights for small spaces.

Dual-flush systems and eco-friendly options help conserve water without compromising performance. Many small toilets include efficient flushing technologies suitable for tight bathrooms.

Some compact toilets are easy to install yourself, but wall-hung or corner models may require professional plumbing expertise to ensure correct placement and secure installation.
