BTW, I have already decided on the sink if it matters:

How deep is that sink? I don't think you have enough room in there for both.

cpartist: 14 1/8" In the sketch above I put the sink I want with its measurements and the toilet I have right now, which is 20"w and 30"d.

Sink:

• 20-1/8"W x 14-3/8"H x 14-1/8"D

I would think that any round bowl (as opposed to elongated bowl) toilet would work. We have the round bowl Kohler Wentworth (available at Home Depot/Lowes) -- it flushes well, although the new model that we bought for our most recent bath remodel is a lower gallon flush than the one we bought a few years ago and isn't quite as powerful -- but we still have not had any issues with clogging for either of them.

I just measured and from the back of the toilet tank to the front of the bowl is 26." I know that there is some variation in how far the toilet drain is set from the wall - not sure if it is possible to move that or not but if so, you might look into moving it back a few inches (or there is a flange thingie that allows you to kind of fudge it a bit - it's called an offset flange and it lets you move the toilet a couple inches in any direction: https://www.protoolreviews.com/news/install-offset-toilet-flange/3967/)

I love that sink - how cute! The Kohler toilet comes with kind of a modern looking flush handle but on both of ours, we replaced it with a vintage looking one if you are looking to match the look of the sink. Can't wait to see the finished product!

You don't have anything sanitary nearby for someone with knee injuries to grab and get up after using. I'm not visiting that powder room, for sure.

Sanitary? Like what? If someone has a knee problem couldn't they grab the sink edge to support themselves up? I could always ask my contractor to mount the towel bar on studs as well, so it could be use for support too if needed.

Cpartist, sure there's room. You can sit on the toilet and wash your hands at the same time! (Sorry, couldn't resist). They do make corner sinks.

You don't have room (for that sink, in that orientation). Depending on your location, you need either 21" or 24" in front of the toilet. The 26" toilet mentioned above is most likely 27" from the wall, laving at most 11" for the sink. If the sink were only 8" deep (front to back), and the toilet was 15" from the wall with the door to the center of the toilet, you could put the sink as you have it drawn. Have you considered a wall-hung toilet?

Can you do an in wall tank and wall mounted toilet?

I like the in wall tank toilet idea as Numbers and Cat suggests. You need a grab bar, not a towel bar put into studs. The grab bar is build for weight, a towel bar is not. Adorable sink, but I would think a faucet mounted that high will be a nightmare for splashing. I have a wall mounted faucet and love it, but it is only about 4" above the rim of the sink. I wash my hands down into the bowl. That faucet spout is way higher than a spout for a tall kitchen sink faucet.

Everyone is being so negative about the size of your room, so I just wanted to add my two cents. I measured my powder room - it's not much bigger than yours, at about 63" x 37". Our door is right in the center, and you walk in to the space between the toilet and the sink. From the front edge of the toilet to the front edge of the sink there is about 15". (And yes, it is most definitely possible to wash your hands while you sit on the toilet.) It's a vintage pedestal sink with a very oversized top, so there's actually more room for your legs when you're sitting on the toilet, but it is still tight. However, it is not unusably so -- my very overweight dad was able to use it just fine for years -- and when he needed help getting up, he pulled himself up with the sink edge or at one point, we used a walker as a makeshift grab bar by placing it backwards over the toilet bowl so that the front of the walker was against the toilet tank and the sides came forward like chair arms -- that actually worked surprisingly well!

The only photo I could find of my powder room is from before we moved in, with the previous owners decor. But it at least shows you the layout and how much space is there. Click here to see it

I had a friend who turned their coat closet into a powder room years ago -- the closet was TINY - like maybe 3 feet square. She bought the tiniest sink I've ever seen - it was a tiny corner mounted one only maybe 8 or 10" deep. But it worked -- and for her, going from having no first floor bathroom and only one bathroom upstairs to having that powder room (small though it was) was HUGE!

@lkplatow, the walker use is very helpful. Your powder room is very cute.

The size of the room is the size of the room. I didn't notice that people were negative toward the size of the room. I will say that I don't think it is a good idea to pull oneself up off of a toilet seat that is not a grab bar. One could pull the sink right off the wall, or bend a towel bar in half. Dangerous.

lkplatow just because you have a tiny bathroom where it's only inches from the sink to the toilet, doesn't mean it meets current code. Jade is building a new bathroom and to do so, it will need to meet her local codes.

Using the sink to pull ones self up is dangerous as enduring suggested.

Our guest bath is 41 long by 43 wide -- we have a regular toilet and a small sink -- when you close the door and sit on the toilet, your knees touch the door. When you wash your hands, you have enough room to stand and wash. It's small and tight. I had my knees done and I was able to pull up "sanitarily" so it can be done -- a couple of pictures of my half bath -- at different times -- same bath -- different decor!

If it's just a place to "go" . . . for yourself or guests, you don't need a humongous powder room in my opinion!

thinking about your problem, I would get some blue tape and find a space on a floor somewhere big enough that you can layout a 59 x 38 space. (Even in the garage) Then measure the toilet and sink and blue tape those in as well. Get a chair or stool and place it where the seat would be and take a "test drive"! That should make you aware if it would work or not.

We have a smallish powder room and I've got this sink, Kohler Parigi. It's just fine, it doesn't even seem small. I bought one of the single hole hans grohe faucets for it (Metris), and it doesn't even look small, just normal.

Be sure to get a compact enough faucet so that you don't get a lot of spray.

Kohler Parigi sink

As an expert at having bad knees, let me suggest turning (scooting) one's legs to the side, then using the back of the tank and the seat of the toilet (spread your legs and put your palm down on the seat) as two strong, solid places where you can usually push down in order to lift yourself up! Push straight down on the tank and you won't hurt anything. Now, in these tiny bathrooms with no space next to the toilet to stand, this might not help. I use it in my half bath with no solid hand grips, though.

Another option for tiny bathrooms is this:

I won't be using my method to rise from the commode in there!

Integrated TP holder grab bars.

If you're looking for a smaller toilet, it's possible that your room is too small. :)

I've had tiny powder rooms. I had one where I was able to paint the entire ceiling without an extension handle on my roller by standing on the toilet. Anyone taller than me would have to sit with their knees brushing under the sink's skirt.

My current one wouldn't meet code and it's a smidge larger than you're proposing. Do you plan to get this inspected and are you aware of what the code is in your area? Cuz you're not gonna get away with it where I live!

Jade-

Is this bathroom going to require a permit and inspection? Despite the fact that several people have described their tiny bathrooms, that doesn't mean that they are code compliant. If you install a non-complying bathroom in an area that requires a permit, but don't get one, then you will face the issue at time of sale of whether to reply truthfully to the question in the disclosures: "Have all renovations in this home been properly permitted?"

For your particular situation, the shortest toilet I have seen is one that is 24" deep if its back is tight up against the wall. When you add the required front clearance of 24" to that, you are at 48"; with a 59" room length, you have a maximum of 11" for the sink, which is going to be a real challenge...however, not impossible. Here is a sink that is less than 9" deep, which could be mounted facing the toilet, and whose design is such as to not make it awkward to enter the room:

Duravit sink

or:

Whitehaus sink

If you used something like one of these, you could have a toilet depth of 26" and still pass an inspection.

Thank you everyone.

The toilet I am thinking about getting is this one:

https://www.build.com/kohler-k-4007/s1084875?uid=2609139

It measures 25 5/8" d from back of tank to front of rim

and 16 3/4" w from rightmost to leftmost edge of toilet. There are a couple of others with similar measurements in the market.

With this new toilet measurements, it would be like this.

I will look into other sinks, and I can also change the door position if needed. And if a grab bar is something it should have, I can put one to the right or left of it.

And this house has other 3 full bathroom if the occasional guest wants to use them.

Martha - you bathroom looks lovely:)

The toilet width is not the problem: any standard toilet will be code compliant as far as width. Your only issue is the sink, and if you don't change the location to face the toilet, and use a narrow depth sink, you can't make that bathroom code compliant.

I was going to get that toilet until I read the reviews. Apparently the seat hinge is a problem and the seat is very difficult to replace. Hopefully they fixed the design.

As much as I love people with bad knees, I wouldn't bother putting a grab bar in that room. Send them to another bathroom!

Is this all new plumbing? What wall are you moving to make room for the larger master bath? I still think an in the wall tank and wall mounted toilet might be the way to go. And one of those very narrow depth sinks that @kudzu references.

I haven't looked at your measurements or the code compliance that others have mentioned. I am assuming that the shallow depth sink will work with your new toilet choice as Kudzu states. But I wonder if you would get a better toilet with an in the wall model. @mdln mentions trouble with operation with your choice.

Toto has a several wall hung toilets from 21 to 22" wall to front edge.

You can make it code compliant but not with the sink mounted on the side wall and not with a sink that is that depth.

I love this sink! Could you share the brand/make? I am a also currently renovating a small powder room and this is exactly what I've been wanting! TIA!

It is the Alape Bucket sink. The problem is that it sticks out 14.25" from the wall. It is a glazed steel sink with a navy or gray PVC gasket at Rejuvination Hardware. I looked at it, too and decided that the only way to use it would be to drill into the steel to place the faucets. putting them above the backsplash would cause too much splashing, just as Enduring concluded, above. Since it is glazed and not porcelain, I think you could drill the holes without harming the sink. It still would not make it fit this powder room.

You have to go read the requirements for space in front of a toilet. I believe that you must have 24" of unobstructed space in front of the entire 30" wide toilet zone. I believe that is why everyone is telling Jade BR that this design will not work for her bathroom. Any side-mounted sink invades that space. If she mounts this sink across from the toilet, it is too big and, again, invades this space. But a sink that does not protrude so far from the wall would not violate the 30" wide zone that comes 24" out from the front of the toilet.

Cpartist, am I stating the problem correctly?

I'm with the group who's concerned about the size of your room, and I'm going to bring up a new topic: I see that you have a "deeper wall" behind your toilet ... but your sink is on a thinner wall. Any wall that carries water will need to be at least 6" thick.

You say you're decreasing the size of this room so you can increase the size of your master bathroom ... can you get creative with this concept? Could you do whatever you want with the master bathroom ... and attach this powder room as your master bathroom toilet? The result would be more square footage available for the bathroom.

And this house has other 3 full bathroom if the occasional guest wants to use them.

Then do you really need this half-bath? With other larger, more comfortable bathrooms, would people choose to use this one? Perhaps it would make sense to incorporate this space into the master bath ... or make it a closet.

"Any wall that carries water will need to be at least 6" thick." - No such requirement. Everything will fit within a standard 2×4 wall if planned correctly except a 4" drain pipe, which would usually be below the floor level.

Mrspete, I believe the 2 walls that "look" thicker are a perspective wall, see the mitered corners? Thats how I interpreted it.

She's probably gone now...but the sink is too big. I would have a floating sink with a wall mounted faucet or the narrowest Ikea sink with the faucet at the end.

I would do a wall cavity recessed toilet tank.

There are no code requirements for grab bars.

This would meet code: http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/20324503/

14" deep sink

https://www.wayfair.com/Toto-Aquia-Dual-Flush-Elongated-Toilet-Bowl-TOT5246.html?source=hotdeals#readmoremodal1

20" toilet

24" clearance

1" to spare

Milly Rey, we tried telling her this, but I think she was in love with the sink she had chosen, and the placement she had chosen for it.

Yep, I saw. She can't pass inspection with that. :P. I was giving specific things that could.

But that would be one cramped space!!!! My own powder room is very awkward so we have to have a sideways wall-hung sink...but that's because the door in on one short wall.
