Hello! How much space is allowed for in a toilet placed in this particular room setup? I am contemplating a Layout like this, but don't know how much space to allow for the toilet area. Thanks!

    Hi rzhb2219 ~ It’s recommended that you leave a 36” wide space (18”
    to center of toilet) but a minimum of 30”. In this bathroom, we used 36”. Make
    sure the center of the toilet is no less than 15” from either wall and double check
    your local code requirements. Thanks!
