FAQs about Small Toilets
Here are the best toilet options for small bathrooms, cloakrooms, or en-suites:
-
Wall-Hung Toilets:
The top choice for tight spaces. Mounting the pan off the floor creates an open, unobstructed floor space that tricks the eye into making the room feel larger. Because the cistern is hidden inside the wall or frame, they typically project significantly less into the room. -
Short Projection Toilets:
These compact close-coupled or back-to-wall models feature a reduced depth (usually under 600mm from back to front), saving precious inches of clearance in front of the bowl. -
Back-to-Wall Toilets:
By housing the cistern within a slimline furniture unit or behind a stud wall, these toilets eliminate bulky visible tanks while providing additional storage surface above. -
Corner Toilets:
Featuring a triangular cistern designed to fit snugly into a 90-degree corner, these are ideal for narrow layouts where wall space along the main edges is limited.
When choosing fixtures for your small spaces it's best to go for short projection toilets and a wall hung cabinets or basin, to free up valuable floor space and avoid overcluttering. While planning and measuring up in smaller bathrooms please remember you need enough clearance for you to use the loo comfortably, be able to open and close the door, for radiators and to move around.
The smallest toilets available are designed with a short projection and a slim pan width to fit into tight cloakrooms and en-suites.
While standard toilets project between 650mm and 750mm into the room, our most compact short-projection models range from just 450mm to 499mm. This saves up to 25cm (10 inches) of valuable floor area and legroom.
As for the width, standard toilet pans are usually 360mm to 400mm wide, but our smallest options measure between 300mm and 349mm wide.
