A Guide To Designing Different Types Of Bathroom Layouts

Full Bathroom

Full bathrooms are the most common type of bathroom layout and offer the most functionality. They include all the necessary components, such as a bathtub, shower, sink, and toilet. This layout is ideal for larger bathrooms with more space. Every home will need at least one full bathroom.

A full bathroom is often built into master bedrooms and is a great choice for providing full functionality in a larger space. It can also be used to create an en suite bathroom in smaller homes. Although full bathrooms are the most common type of layout, they may not always be possible in small spaces. In these cases, three-quarter bathrooms and half bathrooms make better options.

Three-Quarter Bathroom

Three-quarter bathrooms are the second most common type of bathroom, and include a toilet, sink, and either a bathtub or shower. This layout is best for small- to medium-sized bathrooms where you want to maximize space without sacrificing functionality.

A three-quarter bathroom is ideal for guest bedrooms or as an additional bathroom in a larger space. They’re perfect for providing basic functionality while still maximizing space.

Half Bathroom

Half bathrooms are the smallest type of bathroom layout and typically include only a toilet and sink. This is perfect for small spaces, such as guest bathrooms or powder rooms. In fact, half bathrooms are great for small apartments where space is limited and you don't need full functionality.
