Sinks will be the most versatile bathroom element with respect to different sizes that can work. Standard tubs are 32 inches wide (81.3 centimeters) and 60 inches (152.4 centimeters) long, but you can find many variations in length, width, depth and shape. Showers are required to have a minimum of 1,024 square inches, which is 32 inches by 32 inches of interior space — although it’s best to aim for at least 36 inches (91.4 centimeters) by 36 inches. Toilets can fit into spaces as small as 30 inches (76.2 centimeters) wide and 54 inches (137.2 centimeters) long, but at least 36 inches wide and 60 inches deep is much more comfortable.

The most common bathroom layout is the single plumbed wall. All fixtures are lined up and served from one compact source of drains, water supplies and venting. This saves on plumbing installation and provides efficient distribution of heated water, especially when the wall is near a water heater. These walls need to be constructed of 2-by-6 studs, rather than 2-by-4s, mainly to accommodate the larger vent stack for the toilet. Even if your home has a large master bath, it likely has at least one bathroom elsewhere in the house that’s arranged this way. Tubs. Standard tubs with apron fronts are 60 inches (152 centimeters) long and 30 to 32 inches (76 to 81 centimeters) wide. The depth can be as little as 14 inches (35 centimeters) and as much as 20 inches (50 centimeters). Toilets. You need at least 30 inches (76 centimeters) of clear width for toilets, but 32 to 36 inches (81 to 91 centimeters) is much better for most people. Single sinks. For a single sink, you need at least 30 inches (76 centimeters) of width, but 36 to 48 inches (91 to 107 centimeters) is more comfortable. Double sinks. You can squeeze two sinks into 60 inches (152 centimeters) of width, but 72 inches (18...
