ᐅ Designing a Small Guest Bathroom – Is There Still Room for a Urinal?

Hello everyone,

Since we already received great help designing the main bathroom, we need your assistance once again for the guest bathroom. :-) My husband would like to have a urinal. However, I don’t see any available space for it. If we place the toilet and the urinal along the 1.20 m (4 feet) wall instead of the washbasin, it will probably be quite tight, right? We recently saw a similar layout in a bathroom showroom, which, of course, encouraged my husband to believe the space should be sufficient.

A urinal, to me, is a public restroom fixture. These things are unpleasant and unnecessary. I would ask a man who urinates standing up to clean if he did it in front of a group—but that hasn’t happened for a very long time and seems to be somewhat extinct.

Trying is the key to success ;-)

Oh no, those archetypes still exist.
Do you have a sales department in your company? Then try visiting the restroom closest to that area.

I’m a typical guy—when I sit down, I don’t aim very well. So, how do you manage it? Sitting in front of the toilet, legs raised, aiming, peeing, hitting the target. From standing above, I find it much easier. Karsten

Doesn’t it drip on you when you’re sitting? :-D

No, seriously: If you can hold it in your hand to aim while standing, you should be able to make some slight manual adjustments from above while sitting, right?

When standing, it sprays high and sometimes even beyond the edge. I find that unnecessary.
