This is an interesting — yet odd — idea. The Julien bathroom suite by Troy Adams Design features a toilet that is hidden within a bench. The bench design includes one or two storage drawers (perfect for storing TP, even pink) and a sliding wooden panel that conceals the commode. Survey after the jump...
Would you have to explain where the toilet is located? Is it just one more lid to close?

Too much design gives me a headache. It's sort of cool I guess, but can't a toilet just be a toilet?
Blasphemy, I know.
Utterly pointless.
At least you wouldn't fall in in the middle of the night if DH leaves the lid up! (bad DH! Bad!)
i think you guys showed this before... it's weird, and oddly unsanitary-feeling. toilets aren't furniture for a reason. er, and furnitures aren't toilets for a reason. i need help.
Why not turn the toilet into a useable seat that isn't screaming "here's something full of water that you crap in!" The slide-away cover seems easy AND good looking. I wouldn't necessarily want it in a metal finish, but I've seen something similar in wood, in a sort of Japanese-bath-type decor that looked great.
I kind of like the idea but I wouldn't want to have to clean that. I like the look of the soaking tub too, but am trying to figure out how one actually gets in.
20 20 1, can't you see the drawers next to the sink? They're the steps to get in the tub! ;)
Is it just me or does zebrano and wenge type laminate seem like a passing trend?
Pantzini - Or steps to get into the sink? So confused!
I love it and I am going to get one of this. I don't like the sight of a toilet. I would love also a bathtube that can be trasformed in a spa bed. My bathroom will be more like a bedroom!
Seems to be a real toilet fixation lately on AT -- what's that all about? I thought bathroom month was over . . .
I think if you had this and then hosted a raging party, people might end up drunkenly peeing in your tub out of frustration...
art - I agree on its trendiness, but there are some cool pieces being created in zebrano right now. I have a feeling it will be like light blue and chocolate: not exactly cutting edge in a few years but that won't stop people from using it (and irritating us design snobs with it) later.
Pantzini and 20 20 1 ~
(excuse us while we discuss something other than the storage toilet...)
~ about the tub - so do you climb the storage steps next to the sink and .... what... take a flying leap from the sink into the tub????
... and isn't that a demi-wall next to the sink?...
We did this during bathroom month. I sent it in. Try to keep up. ;)
