to keep the budget in check, I would keep the plumbing in existing locations, and focus on the finishes.

Keep the tub/shower and swap the sink and toilet. Yes to in floor heating!

Tile to the ceiling. Recessed medicine cabinet. polished chrome for all fixtures and light wall color, ceiling and floor and wall tile. Add any color in textiles, and decor, so you can change it up on a whim.

rack over toilet for additional towel storage.

I always choose an outswing door for a tiny bathroom the fact is you fall in there and they can't get in to help you badplan. A pocket door works but they are not great at noise handling You will need some type of glass shower screen to control water moving a toilet is not as simple as it sounds and sometimes is just not worth it.

Contact a local architect that can accurately gather the pertinent information needed to come up with a rational design. A proper solution may effect spaces you do not show. The problem stated can not possibly be solved with the information provided.

Such a small space ... first let's think outside the box:

- You say you have two other powder rooms; are either of them larger? Could either of them hold the shower better than this one?

- With two other powder rooms, could this room be JUST a shower room? It's large enough to be a rather luxurious shower (with ample towel storage) if you removed the sink and toilet.

- Alternately, would either of the other powder rooms work better as shower rooms?

Back in the box ... thoughts for this space:

- The door already opens into the hallway, right? So the swing is not an issue, but the door is half the width of the room. That's why it's difficult.

- I'd start with a 30x30" shower -- absolute minimum, but this is an absolute minimum room. The shower is the item that sacrifices space here, but something was always going to have to sacrifice, and the shower is used less often than the sink and toilet. Go with a corner shower and place it in the upper left corner. Go with frameless glass to visually enlarge the room.

- Definitely consider where to hang your towels -- and hinge your shower door so you'll be able to reach the towels from inside the shower. You might be able to put a couple hooks on the wall to the left of the door, or you might put a towel bar under the window. Depends upon inches. But, again, decide this before you determine which way the shower door will hinge; constantly on this site we see shower doors that block access to the towels.

- This leaves you a tiny sliver of space for a tall, thin storage cabinet to the left of the door.

- In a perfect world you'd keep the toilet against the same wall -- but move it over closer to the window. However, we live in the real world, where moving a toilet is real money, and you might end up leaving it by the door for budget reasons.

- A wall-hung toilet is a great idea because it's smaller; however, it's more expensive, and it would mean moving the lines to the wall. It would be the most expensive toilet choice. But it's easier to clean under, and who doesn't want that?

- Add storage of some sort over the toilet. A train rack would be an inexpensive way to store a handful of towels; a built-in cabinet would store more but would be more expensive. Personally, I'd decide the other items, then determine how much storage you need over the toilet. Over-the-toilet storage isn't as nice because it's harder to reach /you always feel like you might drop an item into the toilet.

- Keep the vanity where it is, but run it all the way to the wall. This'll give you more counter space, more storage space, and you'll have natural light right by the vanity.

- One more storage possibility: Consider a shelf above the door. This could hold toilet paper or a basket with extra toiletries. No one would see it until he or she was in the room -- and it wouldn't be intrusive at all.

- Keep your colors light and monotone to make the room appear larger.

apple_pie_order Thanks for that note! As I've been adjusting and re-orienting, the grid got out of square and I hadn't noticed.

Theresa Peterson, thanks for all the thoughts here. Unfortunately neither other powder room is big enough for a shower - and besides they are on other floors that are not where the bedrooms are. This is the only bathroom of any kind on the 2nd floor (and there's not an easy way to add one - wish I could!). So this needs to include toilet, sink and shower. That said, doesn't have to have a bathtub.

I have no problem with moving plumbing a bit to make this work, as noted in some of my mock ups. I have multiple options which moves the sink across the room, for example. I just want it to be nice and function well and am willing to pay if it gets that result.

Agree not enough info nor quality of info. But, I would scheme for any layout that does not include the window in the shower/tub. You cannot waterproof a window (the wall, opening sill/jambs - yes, but not the actual inside of the window unit) and it allows a shadow show.

So, maybe something that might clean up a couple things:

Note a wall mount sink (called a lavatory) allows some space under it, but the tradeoff is no counter or storage space. But if you go with a wall mount vanity, that gives the feeling of more space being open underneath and small spaces to the side. Same with a wall mount toilet, freeing a couple inches doesn't add much overall if it is adjacent to a sink. But it gives the feeling of more space being open underneath (note they make tank wall mount toilets too). If you design the space right, you may not need to resort to a bag of tricks to gain inches of floor space.

3onthetree, this is a great idea to just bump partially into the next room. This might just make it work.

Since 2 folks now have said there's not enough info, what else can I provide?

A "standard" (i.e. minimal) bathroom length is 7'-0". Yours is 6'-0". 3onthetree is on the right track, and l totally agree about not having the window over the tub.

We’ve remodeled bathrooms this size in Washington and can confirm a gut rehab is very doable. With wall‑hung fixtures, pocket door, shower niche, and floor‑to‑ceiling tile, you’ll get the “nice” finish you’re aiming for. Heated floors are a great upgrade in a compact space.

For budgeting in Washington State, here are typical ranges we see:

• Full gut remodel (demo, plumbing, electrical, finishes): $18,000–$35,000

• Wall‑hung toilet & sink installation: $3,000–$6,000

• Heated floor system: $2,500–$5,000

• Tile (floor‑to‑ceiling walls + shower): $8,000–$15,000

• Pocket door installation: $1,500–$3,000

We’re not architects, but we have extensive experience building bathrooms at this scale and designing functional layouts. Even in a 72” x 64” footprint, we’ve delivered modern, storage‑friendly bathrooms that feel high‑end.
