7 Designer-Approved Bathroom Layout Ideas that Never Fail

Mindy Gayer

The first step to tackling any bathroom renovation is to decide on the layout. You probably spend way more time in your bathroom than you realize, so getting your layout right can take a stuffy, boring bathroom and create a serene space you enjoy being in.

Though your layout may be somewhat limited by the space you have to work with, there are many ways to arrange a bathroom to make the most out of any quantity of square footage. Whether you're lucky enough to have a huge room to work with or you have tight space you want to maximize, we asked a few designers for their favorite bathroom layouts.

From small to oversized, read on for our designers' tips on creating the best layout for your space.

Tiffany White, Principal Designer of Mid City Interior Design went with this layout in a recent renovation after running into a cost issue and needing to save money on plumbing.

The Layout: A bathroom with the shower and sinks lined up on the same wall.

The Shower: Here, the shower and the vanity share the same wall, opposite the door. Not only does this save on plumbing costs, but it also allows you to ensure that the first thing you see when you walk into your bathroom isn't the toilet.

The Extras: According to White, "We have found that women prefer this layout because the vanity is opposite the shower and next to a window. This eliminates 'fizzy hair' or an oily makeup application."

"This house was designed for a mid-to-upper age couple," says White. "While they still love soaking after a stressful day or tough workout, the walk-in shower, with a built-in bench, will soon become a necessity."

The Layout: An expansive bathroom layout with a separate shower and bathtub, perfect for a forever home.

The Shower: This bathroom is large enough to house both a shower and a standalone tub. In the center of the bathroom, a massive soaking tub acts as a centerpiece and lends the space an air of luxury.

The Extras: If you have enough space, a built-in bench is a great way to add a permanent perch for getting ready in the morning. This is a great idea if your bathroom is attached to the master closet and you need a place to rest while getting ready every morning.

This design from Mindy Gayer is perfect for a long, narrow bathroom space.

The Layout: A long, horizontal layout with the shower and the bathtub on opposite ends of the room.

The Shower: Here, a shower sits on the same wall as the vanity, separated by a pony wall. "That allowed us to integrate the vanity and shower spaces nicely and in a way that felt intentionally designed," says Gayer. On the other end of the bathroom is a freestanding soaking tub.

The Extras: If you have a large enough bathroom, consider splurging for a freestanding tub. According to Gayer, "freestanding tubs are great because they can help visually anchor a focal point in a bathroom." This layout is both beautiful and functional, with a window above the soaking tub to add a lot of natural light.

The hardest part of planning for a renovation is predicting when your needs will change. Here's a great option for those who know they will want something different in the future.

The Layout: A mid-sized bathroom with just a soaking tub that can be easily converted to a shower when the time comes.

The Shower: "We designed the kids' bathroom to have a freestanding tub that could later be converted to a shower," says Gayer. "We installed an overhead rain shower, so that in two to three years as our clients' kids got older, they could add a wall-mounted rod with a shower curtain so the tub could double as a shower. "

The Extras: If you don't have room for both a shower and a standing tub, a layout like this proves you don't have to sacrifice those long soaks. Instead, install an overhead rain shower and tile the space behind your tubs so it can have a dual purpose.

If you have a small bathroom space to work with, this layout from Christina Kim Interior Design is perfect.

The Layout: In this layout, a stacked sink vanity and makeup vanity rest opposite the shower with the toilet in between the two.

The Shower: Though this layout does not offer enough space for a standalone tub and a shower, you can opt for a dual shower-tub or go for just a walk-in shower with eye-catching tiles to act as a focal point. Think about your personal habits and which makes more sense for you.

The Extras: By placing the toilet parallel to the shower, you keep it out of the direct view. "In a typical small bathroom floor plan, the toilet would be situated where the makeup vanity is, which would keep it in direct view", says Kim.

Borden Interiors

MyDomaine/Ellen Lindner

This layout from Pure Salt Interiors is great if you want two separate vanities in your master bath.

The Layout: Focused on designing a spa-like bathroom, Leigh Lincoln of Pure Sat Interiors created enough room for two standalone vanities opposite a shower and a soaking tub.

The Shower: Because this space has room for both a shower and a standalone tub, the tub becomes the focal point in the center of the room. On one side is a water closet with the toilet while the other side has the walk-in shower.

The Extras:  "Utilizing one wall for a bank of cabinets allows for the addition of a vanity, offering lots of storage and counter space," says Lincoln. If storage and vanity space is key to your bathroom, consider two separate vanities over a single double-vanity.

Last but not least, the perfect layout for a cozy powder room from Aly Morford of Pure Salt Interiors.

The Layout: In this small guest powder room, a vanity and a toilet sit on the same wall with enough room for a large statement lighting piece above the vanity.

The Shower: This small powder room does not have a shower, but if you had more space or you wanted to utilize this layout for a full bath, consider putting the shower to the left of the vanity or opposite the toilet.

The Extras:  Powder rooms are often focused just on the necessities, but Morford says they wanted to try to make this space feel larger than its footprint. "Adding art to the walls, choosing statement lighting above the vanity, placing pops of green, and opting for wall treatments, like wallpaper or millwork, make for a more dynamic and interesting space," she says.

Parts of a Bathroom

Typically, there are several components to a bathroom—sink, shower, tub and toilet—and the ability to which a space is able to accommodate these various elements ultimately determines the bathroom layout.

A full bathroom houses all four components into the space. Bathrooms with three components are called three-quarter bathrooms. Half bathrooms have two of the four components. The smallest bathroom design is a quarter bathroom, and the term primary bathroom is also one that you should know.

The overall aesthetic and function of a bathroom can be enhanced with the addition of a few bathroom accessories such as:

Bathrooms are ideally located to the north of the house and attempt to take advantage of natural light and ventilation. Because of the humidity and dampness that can be found in most bathrooms, it’s best to be mindful of the materials selected for the floor and surfaces—materials that are slip-resistant as well as mold- and mildew-resistant are ideal.

Below, learn more about the nine types of bathroom layouts.

Full Bathroom

Full bathrooms can be either center or side layouts. Side layouts are designed with the sink, toilet, tub or shower all installed along one wall of the bathroom.

Full bathrooms with a center layout feature components on two walls—the toilet and sink paired together on one wall, and the tub or shower in place along another. Central full baths typically have a center so that you can access all of the bathroom’s components with ease.

Three-Quarter Bathroom

A three-quarter bath typically offers some type of storage, possibly a few strategically placed storage shelves, and although still widely considered to be on the small side, is known to include a sink or vanity, a toilet and a shower.

Half Bathroom

Half bathrooms are sometimes also called utility bathrooms or powder rooms and typically include a sink and toilet. Depending on where these two fixtures are positioned in the space, you might be looking for a space with either a linear, single wall or split design plan.

Quarter Bathroom

These bathrooms, often called utility closets or utility showers, typically only hold one bathroom component, either a shower stall or a toilet. Quarter bathrooms exist in most instances as additions to the lower level of a property and allow someone to attend to their personal hygiene without entrance to the entire home.

Master Bathroom

The master bathroom is typically the biggest and most private bathroom in a particular residence and sometimes can be found attached to the master bedroom as sort of an en suite design. One might also see this bathroom referred to as the primary bathroom.

Primary bathrooms can pull out all the stops with a master bathroom and design it to one’s liking for maximum relaxation, with the following optional elements:

Jack-and-Jill Bathroom

This type of bathroom is positioned between two bedrooms and has two doors through which it can be entered from either bedroom. These bathrooms can feature one or two sinks, and include a tub or shower and a toilet.

Split/Split Entry Bathroom

Split bathrooms compartmentalize the entry area and main or primary sink in one distinct area of the bathroom, with the toilet and bathtub being encased in another area of the bathroom.

Split bathrooms are ideal in situations where the bathroom has to be shared by more than one person, as it mimics the feel of two separate bathrooms since one person could use the sink area while another simultaneously occupies the toilet and tub area.

Corner Shower Bathroom

Corner shower bathrooms are typically seen as shower rooms or as part of a guest room. They feature a shower stall that can either be placed in the corner for the best use of space or in the center of the space if you aren’t tight on room.

Accessible Residential Bathroom

These types of bathrooms are designed for wheelchair users and are typically larger in size because they are required to have sufficiently clear floor space so that a wheelchair is able to perform a complete turn. The doors of these bathrooms have a minimum required width and are not allowed to swing into the room’s free floor space.

We tell you how to plan a bathroom in old and new houses. We analyze options for an adjacent and separate bathroom, give general advice on creating a layout.

A bathroom in an apartment is usually small in size, and for independent planning, this is both a plus and a minus. On the one hand, there is no need to think through zoning and complex arrangement of furniture. On the other hand, there are not so many options for its placement, and sometimes it is not at all clear how to place everything you need on 3-4 squares. In this article, we tell you how to create a bathroom layout in any apartment, as well as share useful ideas and show photos of real interiors

All about planning solutions

Type of bathroom
— Combined
— Separate
House type
— Stalinka
— Khrushchev
— Brezhnevka
— New building
Planning advice
– Plumbing
— Furniture

There is still no consensus on which bathroom layout is better, combined or separate. Both options have their pros and cons. Another question - is it possible to change the type of room? For example, combine a bathroom and a toilet to create a more spacious and ergonomic space. In short, it is possible - except for two cases:

Remodeling can be simple (demolishing a wall) or complex (demolishing a wall and adding part of a hallway or storage room). Any of them, as well as the combination of two rooms into one, must be agreed upon.

Combined

A combined bathroom has a number of significant advantages:

There are also disadvantages:

Example 1

Instagram @modern_design_od

In a small square room, it is better to place furniture and plumbing along the walls. If the room has ledges (for example, a box with communications), niches and other architectural features, be guided by them.
For example, here we see a small ledge in the corner. It shortens the length of two adjacent walls, so a toilet bowl with a hygienic shower and a sink were placed along them. The wall to the left of the entrance was enough to put a rectangular bathtub and hang a compact heated towel rail.

Example 2

Instagram @efimova_designer_online

If you are planning a bathroom from 6 sq. m and more, here you can already start working with space. For example, in this spacious room there was a place for a bath, shower, toilet, sink, washing machine and several storage systems.
So that furniture and plumbing are not just randomly located along the wall, the area with a shower was separated from the rest of the space by a small partition. She also became a wall for the shower box. To avoid visual noise in the room, use built-in closed storage systems if the area allows.

Separate

Separate type is often found in old houses: Khrushchev, stalinka, panels.

The advantages are obvious:

Example 1

Instagram @efimova 90_designer03

This planning solution is typical for standard Khrushchev houses and panels. With the proper arrangement of all elements, even on an area of ​​​​2.3 squares, there is a place for a full-fledged bath and washing machine.
So, here a bowl with a standard width of 70 cm was placed along the wall opposite the entrance. The length of this model is 140 cm, but there are also more compact options: for example, 130 and 120 cm.
To the right of the entrance, a sink with a capacious pedestal under it was placed, to the left - a utility closet with a washing machine and a dryer. If you do not need a dryer, you can make shelves for storing towels or household chemicals in its place.

Example 2

Instagram @stalinka. life

And here is an example of the design of the toilet and bathroom in stalinka. Here the room is square, with a small niche on the left. In general, the placement of elements is standard: a bowl along the wall opposite the entrance, on the right is a sink with a small storage system, on the left is a washing machine or utility closet.
A toilet is placed in the toilet, optionally a hygienic shower or several narrow shelves for storing toilet paper and small items.

Stalinka

Apartments in Stalinist buildings are associated with high ceilings, large windows and many rooms.

Depending on the series, there are plans with an adjacent and separate sanitary unit. A typical option in the second case is a bathroom of 3 square meters. m and toilet 1.7 sq. m. You can combine them, but only with the coordination of redevelopment.

On the right, a standard bowl or a homemade shower box fits perfectly - it will turn out to be quite spacious.

Example 2

Designer: Larisa Topova

In some stalinkas, utility rooms are quite large. For example, in this project, a separate bathroom and a bathroom were combined and received a common room of 8 square meters.
For space zoning, a partition was used that separates the toilet area. A bathtub and a shower room were placed opposite the entrance, and there was also a place for a large sink and storage system.

Khrushchevka

Spacious stalins were replaced by Khrushchevs - apartments with a modest area and inconvenient planning solutions by today's standards.

Instagram @katya_dorohina

Among the main problems are the small kitchen and bathroom. For example, in houses of series II-18-0108 and II-18-0109, the area of ​​adjacent bathrooms did not exceed 2.4 square meters. This is comparable to a bathroom in a small studio. The situation is slightly better in the 1605-AM series: a sanitary unit 3 squares and a toilet 1 square. If you combine them, you need to work with the layout of the bathroom 2 by 2.

On the side of the entrance there will be a small sink with a pedestal. If there is space left, organize a compact storage system: a rack, mini-cart or shelves.
In a 1-1.5 sq. m, as a rule, only the toilet and communications fit. You can add a couple of narrow shelves for additional storage.

Example 2

If you have a Khrushchev with a combined sanitary unit or you decide to combine it, see our bathroom layout ideas 4 sq. M.
Here, the layout of the elements was planned based on a square ledge in the corner. There was a rectangular bowl along the wall, and cabinets to the right of the entrance. If desired, you can put a narrow washer there - for example, with a vertical load.
On the left, a compact toilet bowl (37 cm wide) and a washbasin with cabinet (50 cm wide) were installed.

Brezhnevka

Houses of Brezhnev's development are popularly called "improvements" - it was believed that their layouts were more successful compared to Khrushchev houses.

Instagram @u_tani_doma

In apartments, in addition to load-bearing walls, there are almost always additional internal partitions. The bathroom, as a rule, is separate (adjacent ones are found in odnushki). When repairing, it is important to consider the following points:

Example 1

Instagram @buneev_design

Usually, non-residential premises in Brezhnevka houses are a little more spacious compared to Khrushchev houses, so it is not so difficult to place everything you need there. For example, here we see an option for planning a bathroom combined with a toilet in a kopeck piece.
To the left of the entrance, there was enough space for a spacious rectangular bath 80 by 180 cm. A sink and a toilet bowl with a storage system were placed on the other two sides. If you put a shower, a washing machine will fit here.

Example 2

Instagram @62_kv_m

This apartment is located in a house built in 1973. The owners got a tiny bathroom with an area of ​​​​only 2.1 square meters. m and toilet 1.1 sq. m. In order not to complicate and not delay the repair, they decided not to combine. The essentials were placed on a small footage: a toilet in one, a bath with a sink in the other.
The design of the houses in this series allows you to coordinate the demolition of the adjacent wall. In this case, 3.2 squares will be available. The toilet can be moved and thus make room for a small washing machine or utility closet.

Modern homes come in a variety of layouts, from tiny bathrooms in studios to spacious bathrooms. In three-, four- and five-room apartments, two bathrooms are most often provided - both can be combined even with a large number of residents.

An area of ​​4.5 squares, as in this example, allows you to comfortably place everything you need in a typical apartment. Here we see the layout of the combined bathroom: a bowl was installed opposite the entrance, a long installation, a hanging toilet bowl and a large sink were installed on the side.
In this project, there is almost no space between the door and the wall on the left, so it will not work to place a sink or washing machine there. In such cases, you can use the space for a shallow rack, shelves or heated towel rail.

Example 2

Instagram @trofimchuk175

Another example of a planning solution for a standard 4-square room. The location of the plumbing was calculated from the toilet area. As a result, there was enough space for a rectangular bowl, a toilet bowl, a sink, cabinets and a washing machine.
As the author of the project writes in his blog, initially the washing machine was supposed to be under the sink, and in its place - a utility locker, but the full-size model did not fit under the countertop. As a result, it was moved to the toilet, and all the necessary storage was organized under the sink.

In a spacious room, you can easily find a place for everything you need, but in typical apartments, the footage is usually limited. Therefore, consider the important nuances of planning a small bathroom.

Plumbing

To avoid blockages, the toilet should be located as close to the riser as possible, so plan its location first. It is also important to decide whether you want a shower or a sitz bath. For small spaces, the optimal layout of the bathroom with a shower or a homemade box - this option saves a lot of space. The vacated area can be given under the washer or locker. If the bath is important, and the footage is very small, take a closer look at the corner models - there are very compact ones, the size of a shower cabin.

Instagram @anna_iss

Plan them after the plumbing, because you can refuse the utility closet, but the toilet is unlikely. If there is very little space, think about where to take some of the things: for example, store towels in the closet in the bedroom, and cleaning supplies and toilet paper supplies in the hallway or on the loggia.

Suitable for small rooms:
