Bathroom Layout Planning Guide Before Ordering

Plan vanity, shower, toilet, mirror and storage positions before you choose products.

Quick answer: measure the space, confirm inclusions, check compatibility with plumbing and installation, then choose the finish.

Start with the fixed points

  • Mark the existing waste, water inlet, window, door and power point positions before browsing.
  • Measure the room after tiles or wall linings are allowed for, not only the original frame size.
  • Check whether the shower screen door, vanity drawers and bathroom entry door can all open comfortably.

Give each product enough working space

  • A vanity needs side clearance for drawers and front clearance for standing at the basin.
  • A toilet needs practical knee room and enough side space for cleaning access.
  • A shower screen should be checked against the finished opening width at several heights.

Use the product page as a specification sheet

  • Compare size, installation type, inclusions and finish on each listing before adding to cart.
  • If a product is cabinet only, plan the top, basin, mixer, waste and trap separately.
  • Send measurements to MyDepot before checkout if any clearance is tight.

Before you buy

Use this guide as a practical pre-purchase checklist. Product photos show the intended style, but the listing title, inclusions and specification fields should be checked before checkout.
