To meet the clear space requirements from NKBA, you need 24" of clear space in front of your shower or vanity. Based on the shower size, you would need a 16" deep vanity. You could put the vanity on the same side as the shower and not have any restrictions. That would make your toilet a really shallow toilet to find a 16" deep toilet.

Good luck!

similar to the below.

We have a very similar size 2nd bathroom with similar layout to the link you provide. However our shower is 36" neo round which makes a bit more space in bathroom and our vanity is 18 inches deep. We recessed a small mirrored medicine cabinet over the vanity which gave some storage and looks a bit roomier being recessed. We were lucky enough to find a matching round fronted corner cabinet that stands about 4 ft tall which is great for toilet paper and towel storage. Because it is a corner unit, it does not take a lot of space

silken1- what brand style vanity did you buy?

do you find that the sink on the 18 is too small?

Our cabinets are a brand made in Quebec, Canada called Luxo Marbre. I did see lots of them on Amazon.com. The style we bought several years ago seems to be unavailable now. It had the shiny white finish (as a few of theirs do) and kind of curvy. Our vanity is 26 inches wide. \[Luxo Website\]([http://luxomarbre.com/en/product-category/vanities/](http://luxomarbre.com/en/product-category/vanities/)) We put in a 16 inch diameter round vessel sink that we set down a bit into the granite top. It is definitely not too small but the counter is not real roomy for a main everyday bathroom. Just as a powder room or guest bath works for us. We are currently using it as our only bathroom while our main bath is undergoing a complete to the studs gut and reno. It is fine but for the long term larger would be nicer. We felt by shopping around we really made good use of our space. The builders here doing our other bathroom are impressed with how we pulled it off. I will add, our style made it that a vessel sink suited best but an under mount oval would likely make the best use of a small vanity top.

These are just really poor I Pad pics but here is our vanity and the little corner cabinet which adds a fair amount of storage. We put a piece of granite on the top same as the vanity has. You can see the edge of the shower on the right hand side of the vanity in 1st picture and the shower is on the left hand of the toilet in the 2nd picture of the corner cabinet

I think you need a tub too.... just kidding (Twisted sense of humor trying to come up with a better layout for our 5x8 bathroom that has a clawfoot tub)

Kippy I feel your pain. The 1925 Second Floor Bath is 10x10 converted bedroom (currently with a toilet, pedestal sink, and clawfoot tub with shower ring), which you would think would make my life easy - but I'm trying to add a walk in shower (by putting it in the current closet area) and a linen cabinet (in an 1884 Victorian farmhouse whose builders apparently were nudists and didn't believe in closets) - and between the door, the huge window and the radiator under the window - I can't figure out how to move the tub so it isn't directly under the light switch (like it is right now).

Hunzi, those builders do make you wonder. We do have a linen closet... It was cut in to the hallway wall. It is less than 12" deep (anymore would make it hard to get in the 24" master bedroom closet door-did I mention it took space out of the closet so hanging a pole is an issue). And the door opens toward the dining room and big window facing the street. It was probably an access road when built with just orchards but now it has my very favorite feature....

from the dining room table you have a great view of the toilet
