Smart Layout for Everyday Comfort

This split full bathroom design spans 4.7 m² (51 sq ft) and features a clever separation between the toilet and bathtub area and the dedicated vanity zone. This thoughtful layout enhances both privacy and usability—ideal for households with multiple users or compact homes.

Room-by-Room Breakdown

Each fixture is placed with purpose—this overview shows how each space works together.

  • Toilet & Bath Zone (3.1 m² / 33.4 sq ft): The left side of the space includes a wall-hung toilet and a classic alcove bathtub with overhead shower. This layout optimizes plumbing by grouping water fixtures on a shared wall.

  • Vanity Area (1.6 m² / 17.2 sq ft): A separate door leads to the sink and mirror setup, ensuring a functional and private grooming area that can be used independently from the toilet/bath.

Minimum Dimensions & Practical Guidelines

The split facing 2-wall full bathroom layout requires a minimum width of 2.57–2.88 m (8′5″–9′5″) and a depth of 2.29–2.59 m (7′6″–8′6″). The total surface area ranges from 5.8 to 7.4 m² (63–80 sq ft), offering one of the most generous footprints among compact bathroom solutions. This configuration separates the bathtub and toilet into a primary room, with the sink and storage arranged across from it in a dedicated grooming space.

If you’re planning the renovation of a bathroom or preparing for the remodeling of bathroom spaces in apartments or guest suites, this layout excels in optimizing privacy, comfort, and movement flow. As with all layouts, ensure a minimum of 61 cm (24″) around each fixture, a 76 cm (30″) circulation width, and a 1.52 m (60″) turning diameter to meet accessibility standards and daily ease of use.

This layout is especially appreciated in situations where the clear separation of wet and dry areas contributes to both cleanliness and user comfort.

Architectural Design Tips

Optimize every square meter of your floor plan with these expert design guidelines.

  • Zoning enhances usability: Creating two distinct functional areas improves circulation and allows concurrent usage.

  • Lighting & ventilation: Install separate lighting circuits and an exhaust fan in the toilet zone to maintain freshness. Natural light through a frosted window enhances comfort in both areas.

  • Material continuity: Use cohesive tiling and soft wall colors across both zones to maintain visual unity despite the physical division.
