This is me explaining why bathrooms and showers/tubs should be separate rooms. I think Japan has depictions of this in anime that I've seen.

It just makes no sense to me to have both the shitter and the shower/tub be in the same space. Plumbing-wise, maybe it does make sense. Functionally and me personally, I think it's stupid them being in the same space/room and it's just a shortcut they've labeled as "standard" when it isn't ideal.

    Hard disagree. The only benefit I can think of from having the shitter and the shower in different rooms would be if you live with many different people and have bad time management.

    A wetroom gives you much more open space, and it also has basically everything many people do in the morning: toilet stuff, brush your teeth, take a shower. An added bonus is that it's much easier to clean.

    This seems more common in Europe, where the toilet is in its own room down the hall. What I don’t like about that is often that means people walking around the house with unwashed hands as they make their way to a sink. In the US you will find something like that most often where the master/owner’s/primary bathroom has a water closet with the toilet in its own little room in the bathroom. That can be handy for couples and feels like it contains the toilet germs more.

    Uh, the toilet should absolutely have a sink too. I don't recall seeing any non-discount setups where this wasn't the case. For example, my apartment right now has toilet and shower in separate rooms, each with a sink. Euro-based.

    I have been to a few apartments like that, typically parties at some friend's. We're talking toilet with no sink and no trashcan. One time it was especially disgusting and unlucky: first time at that place, didn't know it was like that. I was on my period and absolutely had to change the tampon. I had no idea what to do...
