Are you using a wall hung toilet?

I strongly suggest you not use a faucet with a lever on top. Every time it gets used people will drip on the top of the spout. I put one in my son's bathroom when he was a young teen ... big mistake! Never again. There are plenty of single hole faucets with the lever on the side.

Help! I can't reach the toilet paper! Don't mount that until you sit down and check the reach. :)

I would try to find a vanity. Perhaps a console with a shelf would be a good compromise?

Another possible option is a good mirrored medicine cabinet (with a frame) recessed above the wall-mount sink. I'm not sure you can fit TP in those, but if you can, the right one could take care of storage issues.

Ah, toilet not to scale--using some online app for layout. Toilet is standard size and you can def reach the TP--toilet and tp are existing, not new. @chispa what's the negative about dripping on the spout, spots? Faucet already purchased because I love it and found if for 1/4 retail on ebay..

I'd get this. I'd also replace the " existing" tp and patch up the dry wall, especially if that is a builder gizmo, sunk into the wall.

You don't need fifty extra rolls of tp in a powder room. You need at most two extra. You need soap, hand towels, get a sleek standing holder, and add a modern P trap to the sink base

Hang one on the right side of potty.....unseen from entry, nobody stranded : )

Then the toilet isn't to today's code as you need a minimum of 21" in front of the toilet. (edited because I had written 41" in front of the toilet)

That is probably true!

"According to toilet code clearance code requirements, you must install your toilet:"

• At least 15 inches from its center to any side wall or partition.
• No closer than 30 inches center to center from an adjacent fixture.
• With a clearance of at least 21 inches from a wall, fixture or door.

( you should know, that ISN'T really comfortable, ............but the potty police will not come. Thank heaven as 60 % of toilets in the USA might be a rip : ) ) as they ARE like this

Cosmetic updates to an existing powder room do not require you to bring it up to modern code. Ignore all that and make it pretty.

Will you use a marble chair rail to separate the wall finishes? Painted rail? The little things are the hard ones.

I like Jan's vanity. It's pretty much what you need. It'll look better with chrome than the faucet it is pictured with.

I happen to love the old "builder gizmo, sunk into the wall" TP holders in a small bathroom. They can save valuable inches. If you can afford the space, something modern would be appropriate.

@iri i like the 1930s inset ”builder” tp holder too—so it stays! However the matching toothbrush and soap units are going. There’s an existing wood chair rail that is a little random but doesn’t bother me. From there down will be paint. Wallpaper above. I like the concept of the open vanity/sink with shelf—kind of a compromise. Thank you @JAN MOYER for the idea.

I have a wee powder room and when you're seated, you can slightly lean one way and hit the wall, lean the other way and hit the wall-mount sink. I've taken out the inset TP holder to get 75 years of paint off it, but I put it back!

Existing chair rail-good.

Why on earth........would you keep the inset tp : ) ?

I might too with a different scheme going, a different flavor. Not so much this. And not with the faucet

We don't know what it looks like. We just know that OP has a pretty coherent vision and if they think it works, it likely does. We do know it's not "builder basic" because it predates that.

Hopefully ? It looks like this.........

and NOT this

Gee Jan, I prefer the second one.

OP, if it's a 1930's house, why are you going so contemporary versus honoring the house era?

@JAN MOYER neither! its this and i think it works and i love that the paper is tucked into the wall vs. sticking up on top. @cpartist i love some of the old details but the bath had already been partially remodeled —like the tile from the 80s.

Understood!
