Combination options for bathroom and toilet

Combining a bathroom and a toilet is a controversial issue. The increase in bathroom space is tempting, especially when you consider the original dimensions of both rooms. For some, this is the only option in which the washing machine will find its place in the house, someone just wants to do something unusual in the space of their apartment. What kind “behind” and against” may appear in the issue of combined bath and toilet, let’s consider.

The following can be said in favor of the unification:

Combined bath and toilet give more usable space, there is free space for a washing machine and an additional cabinet.
More options for installing a bathroom of other sizes and modifications, such as a jacuzzi.
In the new space, design options are much broader and more functional.
The installation of a unified communications system will save precious meters and bring the pipes to a single form, a well-thought-out scheme of access to water meters and to the pipes themselves, will facilitate operation and will be convenient when eliminating leaks.
Small savings when renovating tiles and installing only one door.
For housewives: one medium-sized room, it is much easier, faster and more convenient to clean up than two.

Arguments “against”:

When combining a bathroom and a toilet, part or all of the dividing wall is removed; permission is needed for such manipulations. A waste of time and money in this case is guaranteed.
The divider wall can be load-bearing, in this case, the conversation about combining the bathroom and toilet can be considered closed.
The option of using the toilet and taking a shower, by two people at the same time, becomes not an easy task.
The presence of joint odors in the same room may not be to everyone’s liking.

So, let’s summarize. In which case, you can and should think about a combined bathroom and toilet. Most likely, this option is suitable for apartments, the number of tenants, which does not exceed two, a maximum of three people. Provided that this composition does not include children. The presence of children in the house should be taken into account separately, due to the natural need to do things on time and without expectations.

If one person lives in an apartment, then combining a bathroom and a toilet will be the most natural course of things. Combining two rooms is even more important if there is a second toilet in the apartment. Perhaps, it is worth thinking about unification in the case of too small area of the bathroom itself.
