So is this a shower and sink but no loo?

Do you want somewhere to store towels etc?

What is the reason for making it as small as possible?

It looks like the smallest shower tray you can get it 76cm square.

So then you would have 64cm of space to fit a person and a sink into, as well as hooks for towels, plus storage for toiletries and cleaning stuff. That doesn’t sound much to me.

We just live in a tiny house in London and need more space. The actual bathroom will become a small bedroom. We are going to carve out a shower and sink only tiny room and then a toilet and sink only room out of a largish sitting room. Toilet will be 80cm by 140cm. Are we mad?

The size of rooms you are suggesting are literally smaller than my bath. (76cm wise, 150cm long). I’m not sure this is the best plan currently, but I’m also lucky enough to live somewhere with affordable housing.

Would there be any way you could put them into a single 160x140cm room? That way you would have 80cm square for a shower, 60 x 80 for a loo, and then 80x140 for a sink and space to change.

Alternatively if you felt able to put some plans up here, there are lots of people waaay more knowledgable than me who might be able to help with ideas!

Is it a shower and sink or toilet and sink in that space? We recently put in a downstairs toilet and sink - the space is about 84x135. Using a short projection toilet, concealed cistern and little sink, it's compact but perfectly comfortable. If it had a shower instead of a toilet, I don't think there'd be room to dry yourself unless you did it in the shower... Could you post a plan?

Could you get one of those toilets with the sink on top of the cistern?

Weve got a 250x130 bathroom. It has a double base shower (130), loo and sink. Once the door swinging space is taken into account, the only spare space is the larger shower. Tho if you had a smaller shower base with the sink or loo in the other half, I'm not sure how you'd get into the shower - there us nowhere for the door.
I wouldn't want anything smaller-getting in to help the kids brush their teeth is a nightmare, but 8ve not used it as an adult (our ensuite is twice the size of the "family" bathroom)

I lived in a flat with a bathroom that was 100cm x 150cm - ours only had a shower in but they'd originally all had baths! It was pretty compact, to put it mildly, but workable.

Door position will make a HUGE difference though. If you imagine a rectange with the long walls top and bottom. Our door was slightly off to the left in the bottom wall, opening outwards. Shower was a small quadrant shower in the top right hand corner. Sink and toilet against the left hand wall (toilet nearest door)
