My bathroom ended up smaller than planned — need opinions on comfort & layout (3.3 x 8.3 ft)
Hey guys
So I’m in the end of my 1st floor renovation, and due to some structural changes, the bathroom size turned out smaller than originally planned.
Originally it was coming to around 4.4 x 7.5 ft, but now it’s 3.3 x 8.3 ft (before tiles) — so after tiling it’ll shrink a bit more.
The architect suggested a linear layout: Door → Basin → WC → Shower area (at the far end)
Now I’m wondering — is this size comfortable enough for daily use? Like, will it feel too narrow while bathing or is 3.3 ft width still manageable if everything is arranged in a straight line?
We’ll be staying here for 2–3 years, and after that this floor will be rented out, so I don’t want to overspend unnecessarily.
I’m confused about the toilet setup: • Wall-hung WC (clean look, saves some space, but costs ~₹30k+ with frame, tank & seat, plus higher maintenance). • Normal floor-mounted WC (cheaper ~₹15k total, easy to repair, better for tenants).
Questions: 1. Is a 3.3 x 8.3 ft bathroom comfortable enough for daily use? 2. Anyone here has a bathroom of similar size — could you share pics or layout ideas? 3. For a rental property, would you recommend a wall-hung or normal WC?
Any advice or photo references would be super helpful 🙏 Honestly just feeling a bit off since the bathroom turned out smaller than planned 😅
