European style. Kitchen and bath designer Lorey Cavanaugh is also a fan of wall-hung toilets. “We love the move toward incorporating wall-hung toilets in residential baths here in the U.S. Our European neighbors have used this technology extensively,” she says. “The combination of streamlined good looks, easy maintenance and space-saving features makes this a winner.” Note that the structural support in the wall for a wall-hung toilet will be an important part of the installation.

Wall-hung space saver. For tight spaces where every inch counts, Stephens has a wall-hung favorite. “Code requires 21 inches of clearance in front of a toilet, so its short length — 21 1/16 inches versus round front at 26 inches or elongated at 28 to 30 inches — can make the difference between having a legal, functional powder room or not,” she says. “It also has a cool modern look.” The tank is accessible for repairs through the flush panel on the wall.
Sleek and modern. “Duravit has been my go-to brand for toilets for years. I love how they combine style and function while maintaining an achievable price point for most clients,” says interior designer Trish Knight. This Starck 3 model has a modern skirted style with an elongated bowl and a comfort height. “It is available with soft-close seat or SensoWash [a bidet-like functionality for hygiene with remote control and warm air dryer]; wall-hung or floor-mounted; and even in a compact size for small spaces,” she says. “The skirting to the floor makes this toilet quite modern and easy to clean.”
