Back to wall toilets and storage

Is it possible to build a full height cupboard (almost like a false wall with doors in the upper part for storage) and then fit a back to wall toilet with a concealed cistern that is accessed from the front?

Trying to maximise storage and keep clean lines in a planned small downstairs loo

    Perhaps if you made your floor to ceiling wall/cupboard so that the loo is against it, with the cistern inside. Then have a higher door where your storage cupboard is, and a lower door giving you access to the cistern whenever you need it.

    Wall hung loos can come with most of the gubbins accessible through the larger flush plate.

    If you want tonsave money with a back to wall then you can have removable shelves inside your cupboard that makes the cistern accessible.

    Thanks - so it's not a completely off the wall idea, I'm struggling to find any images of what I've got in mind.

    It's not the money aspect that's my main concern (although money saving is good) - I've always been nervous of wall hung loos & our 2yr old recently broke the one that was installed in our house, not keen to go there again!

    You just need a decent carpenter.

    Maybe search some keywords on Pinterest for images?
