The distance between the centers of the toilet bowl to the wall should be at 15 to 30 inches and the clearance space in front of the sink, bathtub or shower should be 21 to 30 inches. Install door swings for you not to have a difficult time accessing your things in the closets and cabinets. Meanwhile, the height of your lavatory should be around 34 to 36 inches.

Tubs and showerheads should be able to comfortably accommodate the tallest person using them. Shower bars with variable showerheads work well with tall and short family members.
