Having a vanity with two sinks is almost a necessity when you have two people who want to get ready at the same time. If you’ve got a small bathroom, it can be tough getting a double vanity to fit in the floor plan. It requires careful planning to get a large vanity, toilet, and shower together and still meet the clearance needs to keep things functional for day-to-day use. In this article, I share a variety of small bathroom floor plans that include dimensions for vanities, showers, toilets, storage, and walkway spacing so you can accurately plan your layout. Each design includes notes on traffic flow, door swings, and storage opportunities, and tips you can use to get a functional space.

Floor plan details: This 8×8 plan is structured with the fixtures, shower, toilet, and vanity in one of the corners. You enter from the bottom-right with a 24-inch doorway, and the first thing you see is a clear sightline across the room with simple access to the vanity straight ahead or the toilet to the right. The double-sink vanity runs along the bottom wall (left side), giving a two-user function for side by side use.
The corner shower in the top-left measures 36×36, while the toilet sits comfortably in the top-right, and both are zoned for U.S code compliance. Because the vanity depth is only 22 inches and the shower takes 36 inches at the top, you benefit from a wide middle lane, so the bathroom feels bigger than one would think by the dimensions alone.
Dimensions:
Room size: 8′ × 8′ (96″ × 96″)
Corner shower: 36″ × 36″
Double vanity: 60″ wide × 22″ deep
Toilet clearance zone: 30″ × 48″
Door width shown: 24″
Center open “lane” depth (between the shower and vanity depth): about 38″ (96″, 36″, 22″)
Design tips:
Upgrade the door from a 24″ opening to a 28″ to 30″ door or use a pocket door to ensure it is code-compliant and easily accessible.
Use a glass-framed shower enclosure to increase visibility in the square floor plan and help the room appear larger and more open.
Choose an enclosure with a hinged door, and have it swing toward the shower, or choose a slider so it doesn’t encroach on the walkway.
Keep the vanity at 22″ deep to keep the same amount of walking space.
Choose a vanity with deep drawers under each sink and a center stack so two people have their own individual storage compartments.
Add a recessed medicine cabinet over each sink for personal daily use items.
Hang a towel bar/ring between the vanity and shower for convenience.
Use a shorter projection toilet to help the 30″×48″ zone feel more generous.
Install two vertical lights or sconces at the vanity and one recessed light near the shower to keep the corners feeling bright.
5×12 Narrow Bathroom with Double Vanity Floor Plan
This narrow bathroom plan keeps the fixtures tight on the left side and reserves the right as a walking path, so a skinny 5-foot-wide floor plan still feels usable and organized.
Floor plan details: This 5×12 layout makes the most of its slim profile by positioning the fixtures on one side and a comfortable runway on the other. You enter at the bottom-right through a 24-inch in-swing door, and immediately see the double-sink vanity sitting on the left wall, giving you a shared grooming zone that’s great for morning routines. At the far end, there’s a larger corner shower measuring 36×48. That little 18-inch deep bump-out along the left works as space for storage such as linen shelving, a tall cabinet, or even a towel niche. However, the enclosure could be stretched across the space for a larger area if desired.
Dimensions:
Room size: 5′ × 12′ (60″ × 144″)
Shower: 36″ × 48″
Double vanity: 60″ wide × 21″ deep
Right-side passage beside the shower: 24″
Left-side storage/utility bump-out: 18″ deep × 36″ long
Door width: 24″
Design tips:
Treat the 18″ bump-out as built-in storage for a recessed linen cabinet, open shelves for towels, or a full-height cabinet about 12″ to 15″.
If you don’t need the storage, enlarge the shower’s enclosure across the far back wall for a larger space.
Choose the shower door carefully by using a sliding or an inward-opening pivot door.
Keep the vanity shallow at about 21″ with drawer storage so there’s more usable space.
Upgrade the entry door to be larger than 24″ by using a pocket door or outswing model.
Add a vanity light fixture for task lighting plus two ceiling lights with one closer to the shower so the back of the room doesn’t feel dark.
Install lengthwise large-format tile, with a continuous runner-style bath mat, and one consistent paint color to keep the bathroom looking cohesive.
Add a shower niche on the interior wall for your bath accessories.
7×9 Family Bathroom with Two Sink Vanity and Tub/Shower Combo Design
This bathroom is efficient for a family because it provides a full tub/shower combination on one side and a two-sink vanity on the other, all within a compact footprint with the toilet in the back and room for additional storage.
Floor plan details: This 7×9 family bath is laid out with a three-zone rectangle layout offering a 32″×60″ tub and shower combo on the left, a 60″×22″ double-sink vanity on the right, and the toilet tucked in the back-left. The entry is centered on the top wall with a 24-inch door, with room to go larger if you reduce the vanity depth. The plan keeps the main walking path going down the middle. The toilet sits along the left wall below the tub with a clearly defined 30″×48″ clearance area next to a window on the bottom wall with room on the opposite side for storage.
Dimensions:
Room size: 7′ × 9′ (84″ × 108″)
Tub/shower combo: 32″ × 60″
Double vanity: 60″ wide × 22″ deep
Toilet clearance zone: 30″ × 48″
Door width: 24″
Clear width between tub and vanity at entry: 28″
Open length from tub end to bottom wall (left side): 46″
Window opening shown on bottom wall: 36″
Design tips:
A 24″ door and a 28″ aisle work, but it may feel too tight. Swap in a pocket door or an outswing with a narrower vanity to gain doorway space.
Use one large mirror, instead of two small ones, to reflect more light and visually widen the look of the room.
Go with a sliding tub door or a fixed glass panel to keep water contained out of the vanity zone.
Place a dedicated linen closet in the bottom right corner.
Hang a small art piece with a warmer wall color over the toilet.
For a family-friendly bathroom, use a matte or lightly textured porcelain on the floor.
Install bright task lighting at the vanity, and add lights above the tub and near the toilet so the back half of the room doesn’t feel dim.
6×10 Split Wet/Dry Bathroom with Glass Shower Floor Plan
This plan places the double sink vanity near the entry with the toilet on the other side, and a shower in the back.
Floor plan details: This 6×10 room creates a split wet & dry floor plan that is designed so the shower keeps moisture contained to the far end, while the vanity and toilet stay in a drier spot near the entry. You walk in from the bottom-right through a 24-inch door, which can be widened with a narrower vanity. As you enter the first thing you see is the double-sink vanity on the right and the toilet to your left. The shower measures 36″×48 and sits at the back of the room and is separated with a glass partition, which is what makes the split concept work.
Dimensions:
Room size: 6′ × 10′ (72″ × 120″)
Shower: 36″ × 48″
Vanity: 60″ wide × 21″ deep
Toilet clearance zone: 30″ × 48″
Door width: 24″
Width at the bottom entry run: 28″
Left-side offset at the bottom (toilet-side clearance): 15″
Window opening shown on left wall: 36″
Design tips:
Install an enclosure with frameless panels to keep the sightline open down the room.
Choose a shower door style that won’t get in the way of the walkway.
Keep the vanity at 21″ deep if you want extra storage for couples and kids, or go narrower if you want a larger doorway.
Put your storage for towels right at the wet/dry boundary with a bar or hooks on the glass-adjacent wall.
Place a strong exhaust fan with a timer switch near the shower so moisture doesn’t linger.
8×10 Bathroom with Dual Vanity & Linen Storage Layout
This bathroom opens up the center with all of the fixtures along the perimeter, such as the vanity and linen storage on one wall and the shower and toilet on the other.
Floor plan details: This 8×10 bathroom layout is a solid family design that balances its mid-size with a shower, two-sink vanity, dedicated linen tower, and a toilet. You enter from the bottom-right through a 24-inch door, which could be enlarged if needed, and land in the vanity zone first. This way you can do all of your daily routines like handwashing, teeth, and hair up front where it’s easy to access. The shower sits in the bottom-left and measures 36″×48″, with the toilet on the top-left. The center is open, so it feels calmer, and everything is more accessible.
Dimensions:
Room size: 8′ × 10′ (96″ × 120″)
Shower: 36″ × 48″
Dual-sink vanity: 60″ wide × 22″ deep
Linen tower: 18″ × 24″
Toilet clearance zone: 30″ × 48″
Door width shown: 24″
Wall space shown at the entry run: 38″
Top wall segment shown: 66″
Design tips:
Upgrade the 24″ doorway to a 28″ to 30″ outswing or a pocket door to prevent crowding near the vanity entrance.
Go full height to the ceiling with the linen storage and use a mix of shelves and pull-out drawers for your towels, and backstock toiletries.
Choose a sliding or an in-swing door for the shower.
Keep the vanity at 22″ deep if you want extra storage space underneath.
Add lighting in three layers with vanity task lighting such as sconces, one or two ceiling lights, and a dedicated wet-rated shower light.
Add hooks or a bar on the wall between the shower and the vanity for towels.
