A Complete Guide to Bathroom Sizing: Practical Tips for Ideal Design

Designing a bathroom is not just about choosing stylish fixtures and furniture but also about organizing the space to make it functional and welcoming. The layout and minimum dimensions of each element are crucial to ensure comfort and safety. In this guide, you’ll find useful tips to correctly size your bathroom, with space-saving solutions for small spaces and ideas for larger ones.

How Much Space Does Each Bathroom Element Need?

When designing a bathroom, it’s essential to start with the minimum dimensions of key elements to ensure a harmonious and user-friendly layout.

• Toilet and bidet: Both require at least 60 cm in depth and 40 cm in width each. It’s also important to maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm between them, for both comfort and hygiene.
• Sink: A standard sink requires around 60 cm in width and 50 cm in depth. Leave at least 60 cm of free space in front of the sink for easy use.
• Shower: The shower enclosure is a must-have in any bathroom. The recommended minimum size is 70x70 cm, but for extra comfort, opt for models measuring 80x80 cm or larger rectangular formats.
• Bathtub: If space allows, a bathtub adds a touch of relaxation and style. The minimum recommended size is 140 cm in length and 70 cm in width.

These measurements provide a starting point, but it’s always wise to tailor the project to your personal needs and the room’s characteristics. For more details, check out this detailed guide on bathroom dimensions.

Optimizing Space in a Small Bathroom

When working with limited space, smart solutions can transform a small bathroom into a functional and stylish environment.

One of the most effective options is to choose compact fixtures, designed to occupy less space without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics. For instance, the Flaminia MiniApp suspended toilet measures just 48x36 cm, making it ideal for guest bathrooms or tight spaces. Similarly, the Ceramica Cielo Smile Mini suspended toilet, with its 35x48 cm dimensions and rimless design, is another excellent space-saving option.

In addition to fixtures, furniture plays a crucial role. Multifunctional furniture, such as cabinets integrated with sinks or mirrored storage units, can save space while maximizing storage. Opting for a walk-in shower not only reduces visual clutter but also makes access to the shower easier.

Designing a Large Bathroom: Ideas to Make the Most of Your Space

In larger bathrooms, you can experiment with design solutions that blend functionality and aesthetics. For example, placing a freestanding bathtub in the center of the room creates a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere. Alternatively, a double sink setup is perfect for families or couples looking for personal space.

The shower can also take center stage: choose an oversized model with customizable jets and designer finishes. To complete the space, consider adding accessories like seating or open shelving to make the room even more inviting.
