Small bathroom, laundry room plans

by Diana
Hello have a small space where I need to put a 2 piece bathroom (toilet, Sink) and washer and dryer. I don't want washer and dryer stacked. Please help with ideas. 10 feet by 9 feet but it is an irregular shape and there is a huge closet on the one end that has a door. Would appreciate your ideas. D.

    Minimum space requirement is 21 inches between and in front of toilet and sink and that's tight. Your layout will be determined by the size of your laundry set and the water hook ups as well as your sewer. If you could include some pictures of your space for us that would be great so we could better advise. Thanks.

    Get yourself a piece of graph paper (lots of little squares - you can print out from web). Decide how many squares to an inch and map out your room, with a notation for closet doors and how far they swing. Measure the toilet, etc cut out to proper dimension from the second piece of graph paper, label and play design.

    When I did mine, I taped wine boxes together to represent the “equipment” so I could get a real sense of the space, and would I bump my hip on the vanity And would my knees fit.

    Yes, I know there are lots of design platforms on the web, but I’m too visual.

    You could also use an RV sink if your going to primarily use for washing hands & that would save space as requirements for those is less than a standard lavatory. You might even be able to put it on a wall of the closet with water & sewer inside closet, depending on your connections. Think about the efficiencies of RV's where every inch of space is maximized.

    Do you use the closet? If not put your toilet and sink in there. And you have a door. Use the rest of the area for laundry room.

    Would a wall hung toilet work for you? Wall mounted toilets are great space savers and less expensive than the tankless models. You can save up to 9 inches in length space, and you can set the height to anywhere between 15″ to 19″.


    If your toilet is in a corner there are corner toilets. That is basically a floor mount gravity flush tank and bowl toilet, with a triangular shape toilet tank. Obviously designed to fit a corner as a way out of a peculiar space limitation.


    So you intend to convert an unused space in the house to a toilet, and you probably don’t intend to make it permanent. Your best option is a macerating toilet, also known as an upflush toilet.Just like the tankless toilet, this little macerating toilet don’t have a tank attached. The water for flushing is supplied by a water line, and a pump with blades to grind solid waste into smaller bits. The slurry is then pumped out through pipes connected to the sewer line.
