If you cannot change the wood floor then you can put a bathroom rug under the sink (one with a plastic back) to catch the splashes. Also hang a towel hook very close to the sink or the drip from your hands as you reach for the towel will be all over that wood. I would really rethink the wood floor if you can. One toilet backup and your wood floors are toast!

Short answer: No. Imagine washing your hands between those two faucets. Also, the shallower the sink, the more water will splash out. This is 12" wide, is that the widest you can go?

Thank you both! We're using wood floors to keep our small house feeling as roomy as possible. We thought continuous flooring would help with that, although we know we're taking a gamble. Hopefully our new Toto toilets will keep our wood floors safe. :)

The width of the bathroom is 37"; the problem is depth. I can only go 19" deep for the sink, or the sink will jut out past the door frame. The powder room is small, so I want a small wall-mount sink to make the room feel as open as possible (the entire bathroom is 68" x 37" (with a pocket door).

I am doing a single faucet option, not the double faucet. So, I'd have the faucet on the left and soap on the right. That would give a little more hand space, but do you think it's still too small? Do you have any suggestions for similar looking sink that would fit but offer a larger, deeper basin?

It may work. How many people will use this sink? And can you get a minimal flow faucet?

draw the bath to the inch with the door and all dimensions . .......... There are worse than 3 feet by five and a half feet. . No to the posted photo sink

Hate to tell you this: chance of a nine year old boys friends washing hands at all ? DIM.......VERY DIM. Nearly zero lol Still a bad sink : )

We need to know CENTER of drain from any wall or toilet edge

If you have 19in, use it. Why go for less than half of the available space?

You can get a counter in there, across the 37in. Or you can get a wallmounted sink up to 19in, or not optimal, but even one over 19in that juts out a bit past the doorway.

Make the space as optimal as you can.
Chances of the 9 year olds washing their hands dim even more when it's a challenge to do so lol.

Eeps,that is awfully shallow. We have a Cheviot Small Mayfair pedestal in a tiny powder room that is less than 16" from the wall, about 20" wide, with a sink depth of just over 5". No problems with splashing beyond the rim. That slight setback from the doorway contributed a lot to making that small bathroom work. As did the cutaway corners. I would look forever before I'd jut in front of the doorway.

I did this in a tiny 1/2 bath it allowed for a bit bigger sink

The dimensions of the exterior are 11in by 14 3/4in. So not less than half the available space, but significantly less.

And correction on going over 19in extreme. You need clearance space. Even if you don't go a full 19in width, you can get more than the 11in easily.

This is your bathroom, to scale

^^dimensions of the exterior (of the basin) are 11in by 14 3/4in

Thank you all!

Carolina Kitchen, I didn't know there was such a thing as a minimum flow sink, so that's good to know! Thanks!

Patricia Colwell, I so wish we had thought to make the bathroom just a teensy bit wider, and then we could have done what you did in the half bathroom you posted (turned the toilet 90 degrees). We didn't realize quite how small this powder room would end up being. We could move the wall out to make the bathroom wider, but we couldn't use our pocket door anymore, and we don't really want to incur the expense of moving the wall now that it's finished, so the bathroom will stay oriented as Najeeban drew it up. Your bathroom looks great, though! So open for a small space!

Najeeban, thank you! I drew up our powder room, but not to scale. The toilet we are getting is around 28" (Toto Vespin or Drake), so that is great. The toilet will unfortunately jut out a bit beyond the doorway, but we can't use a wall-hung toilet (contractor said the wall isn't thick enough), and we really don't want a round bowl.

What do y'all think of this sink: https://www.build.com/ws-bath-collections-antique-an-080/s1178955?uid=2822384 

This one's basin measures 18.1"x10.5" with a 5.3" depth.

The sink extends a total of 19.5 inches from the wall, so it would go past the door way just a smidge--or maybe not because of the door trim? At any rate, it'd be close, and it would put the sink much closer to the toilet. Because the sink is wall hung and not a vanity, would that prevent someone using the toilet from feeling crowded by the sink, or do you think this one is too deep?

Thanks again, everyone, for your feedback!

I think that new sink you found is a winner! One faucet and a little room around it to put your soap bottle and contain the drips.

By the way, I indicated the available space for a basin as 19in x 32in in the picture above. Correction: 19in x 37in. It is drawn correctly, the error was the labelling.

Much better dimensions of the new proposed basin, but it's not 'the one'.
The 1/2in overlap would be odd. Had it been narrowed at the ends and wider in the centre, you could have done that.
Check out the door trim location precisely. As Jan said, "draw the bath to the inch with the door and all dimensions"
Also, you'd have about 3in of space to the wall on either end. Not a trainsmash, but a counter would remove that gap. Look into vessel sinks, they can look great.

Also, with 19in for a sink, you'd have the code minimum clearance in front of the toilet. Decide if that's ok for you, or if you'd prefer a narrower basin for more clearance space.

Because the sink is wall hung and not a vanity, would that prevent someone using the toilet from feeling crowded by the sink, or do you think this one is too deep

That is true, it does make a difference. We have a small basin, in a small powder room, similar layout to yours but the basin had to be opposite the door, not behind.
It is not optimal, but that is a rarely used bathroom, and it does work. It's also a wall mounted small basin, with no vanity unit, so the space isn't crowded.

Still, try sitting on a toilet, and measuring out where the basin will be. Maybe have someone hold up a box there or something to get the feel of it, and decide what works for you. The frequency of use, age groups and mobility or users, etc, all must be considered.

Jamie, that's exactly what I was thinking (regarding room for soap and drips). :)

Najeebah, Thanks for confirming the code minimum clearance. I would definitely prefer more clearance, but I've scoured online vendors for options, and I haven't found any sink options at just the right depth yet. They're all too tiny or come out 21-22" from the wall or lack a rim in the back, which I want to keep the sink from looking too modern. I'm feeling a little like Goldilocks here! I'm going to check a few more sites, though. My husband doesn't like vessel sinks, so those are out for us, but we initially pursued a traditional Dura Supreme vanity with a stone top and under mount sink, but we felt like a 37" cabinet would make the bathroom seem cramped. We thought a wall-mount would give an illusion of space, although I'm no expert, so I could be mistaken. :)

Good idea, Najeebah! We put a stool in the bathroom to mimic the toilet, but we only taped off the sink area. A box or something at the actual height of the sink would be better. We'll give that a try tomorrow. Thanks!

Any thoughts on a pedestal sink? less exposed drain pipes.

Still laughing at JAN. Yeah, those guys aren't washing.

You could try a large sign taped to the mirror when the kids are over: "If I find drips on my floor, the WiFi goes off!" Or an equally compelling threat. 9 is old enough to take care if properly motivated :-D

Wait, I don't know if anyone makes a minimum flow faucet but if you describe your problem at a good plumbing supply store (not a big box) they may know something that would work.

Ha! Yes, agreed, Jan and Lindsey. :)

Weedmeister, I don't think a pedestal will work for us. Our drainage pipe is not in the same wall as the supply pipes. Our contractor says the drainage pipe can't be moved. (I'm not sure if that is true or not. He said there isn't enough room in the wall, but I'm not sure what else is in that wall preventing the drainage pipe from moving.) I'm posting a picture of the space below.

Thank you all for your feedback. We are not going to get the mini sink I initially posted. I appreciate your thoughts, and we don't want handwashing to be difficult, so we're definitely going to get something with a wider and deeper basin. I haven't found anything better than the WS sink I posted yesterday, so that's still the frontrunner, but it's not perfect. I'm still looking for something that doesn't come out from the wall quite as far.

I have one more question for y'all. My husband bought a brushed nickel faucet for our new wall mount sink, but we didn't think about the pipes underneath the sink not matching the faucet. Will that look strange if we have shiny pipes under the sink but then a brushed nickel faucet? Should we get a chrome faucet instead? We were trying to stay away from chrome because of water spots. Thanks!

Not the end of the world, but I would say yes, chrome or stainless steel rather. If you go with a faucet shaped as the one shown in the first picture, you dont have a great deal of flat one-face surface, water spots will be less noticeable.

Good advice, thanks! We bought a Moen Brantford with a single lever, so that's probably what we'll stick with. The fancy Moens were out of budget for us. :)

Thanks, Lyndee! I need a sink with a rim in the back because I don't have tile on the walls in the bathroom, but the dimensions for this sink are perfect.

You'd benefit from a small splashback at the least, and with a sink like Lyndees, if you did not wall mount it, you'd have less splashes reaching the wall.

I found this awesomeness when I searched on Houzz just now, but I'm not sure I can afford it: [https://www.houzz.com/photos/classicism-refreshed-contemporary-powder-room-new-orleans-phvw-vp~11860230[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/classicism-refreshed-contemporary-powder-room-new-orleans-phvw-vp~11860230) Do you have any pictures you could share with me of splashbacks that would keep the room from feeling too modern? I like vintage, but not too ginger-bready if that makes sense. :)

I love all the info on the sinks> Plan on using it on a small pwd room that I’m trying to make out of a closet. I have a 37”w x 40” d closet I’m thinking about taking 2’ from the garage but worry about pipes freezing. My house is vacant in the winter. The sink could go over the basement stairs. That leaves the toilet facing the door which I know is not a good look. Any ideas?????????? Missshirl

Added powder rooms in an old house are more about functionality than following rules for optimal bathroom design. If you have enough width and length, arrange the fixtures to fit the space and appreciate the new functionality.

If the house is vacant over winter, you must be keeping it heated or the issue would already be a problem. Use Pex instead of copper and consider heat cable if needed. It doesn't take much to keep a pipe from freezing if the heat is directly on the pipe

Can you fit it in the corner with a corner sink?
