Downstairs loo - layout options?

We're going to have a downstairs loo - 1.5m long by just over 1m wide. Its small, can't change the dimensions so know its going to be a compromise. Just trying to work out which way you'd lay it out.

Would you have the toilet and sink side by side like the pic - this makes the most of the (limited) floorspace but worried that it'll be awkward to stand in front of the sink to wash your hands - the toilet will be in the way? Or just feel too squashed?

Or go for a more traditional layout - wouldn't have a corner sink (like Pic 2) and probably smaller but you get the idea?

Any suggestions? The door is a pocket door by the way so don't have to worry about the door opening into the room.

We are in the process of doing this, but for an even smaller space!

Consider a pocket/sliding door, which will save 1m in floor space. We are having a toilet/sink combo. Some have larger sinks than others, but do check it has both a hot and cold water feed option. Its small, but to have an extra loo, I'll compromise. Having all the pipe work at one end, will also save time and money, as opposed to having to lay pipes to a sink at the other end of the room.

option 2 but with the sink oriented under the window if you can. It is nice to feel like you have a view even if the glass is frosted.
