I don't think you mean t < x[t] and t < y[t].
This would mean t < t and
t < -t + 1
The first inequality is always false, so the region you describe is empty.
Do you actually mean to fill the region where y < x and y < -x+1?
If that is what you are after, use RegionPlot.
f[x_]=x
g[x_]=-x+1
RegionPlot[{y < f[x] && y < g[x]}, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}]
