Do you guys have a bathroom and a toilet as one room or two separate ones? And is it standart for the place (country?) where you live?

One (tiny tiny) bathroom with toilet and everything. USA.

Same here.

Pretty much standard in the USA afaik

3 bedroom apartment in Argentina: One toilet and one full bathroom.

Same room for both, but then again, I live in one room (kitchen+bed, plus one small room for bathroom and toilet). However, my childhood home has two separate rooms, two tiny ones. There's not set rules, not as far as I know. (Western Europe)

UK here.

I have one tiny toilet on its own (the room is literally the toilet and nothing else), and one tiny bathroom separate. It doesn't seem standard, from what I've seen. Most houses I've been in have the toilet in the bathroom.

Though, quite a few houses also have two toilets - one downstairs off the kitchen, and one in the bathroom upstairs.

The house I grew up in in London had a separate tiny toilet room and bathroom with the sink and bath, but I've never seen that set up in any other house I've been to in the UK. I don't feel it's terribly hygienic, but I'm assuming it's a sign of the age of the property (1900s).

Way out in the boonies of America (at least on the East Coast, where I am), very old houses that were built before standard plumbing often have separate areas. One room used to be the outhouse, away from the main house, and another room inside the house was the bathing area.

That's the way my house is structured where I grew up, though thankfully by the time I was alive, the bathing room was fully upgraded with a toilet and running water. Though we still have the old outhouse attached to the woodshed, which is attached to the kitchen.

Way out in the country in the New England area, USA, and also in a house that was built before indoor plumbing. However we just have one tiny room shoehorned into the middle of the house with toilet and bathing area in one room.

I'm curious whereabouts you are on the east coast, because in my experience with old farm houses that were built before indoor plumbing it's more that the room is kind of random that was turned into the bathroom, but not that it is two separate rooms. I'm just curious if it's just something I haven't seen or if it would be more of a geographic/cultural difference.

Toilet and bathroom in one room and a sauna connected to them. It's a standard setting here, and in larger apartments/houses there's usually a second toilet.

Here being Finland, I meant to write.

In Ireland, they were separate rooms, and most places I went to were the same except in apartments. In Malaysia, I've seen both ways.

USA - the vast majority of bathrooms I've seen are all in one room, with a few exceptions. Most hotels and a few houses/dorm bathrooms have toilets and showers together in a separate room with a door separating them from the sink.

I have the tiniest bathroom (it's like maybe a bit more than 1m wide) and the toilet's in there too. I know some fancier flats/houses where there's a toilet-only room additionally to the bathroom-toilet room, but I don't think I've met a bathroom-only room yet.

My mom's house and my mom's parents' house have a separated toilet/bathroom although even then it differed. My mom's has the toilet and shower together and the sinks and mirrors together. Whereas my mom's parents' have the toilet and the mirror on one side and the sinks, bathtub/shower, and more mirrors on the other.

Both don't have an actual door with a knob or a lock or anything. Just a sliding one. The two houses are in Hawaii and Ohio respectively. Almost every other place I've seen has them together though... my sister had an apartment with two toilet/sink areas that both connected to one shower/bath area. That's the only other one...

Everything in a single room is common here. But my parents' master bath has the toilet in a tiny room within the bathroom, and my master bath has the toilet & shower in their own room with the sink open to the bedroom. Both are not uncommon styles for master baths, though mine is kind of outdated.

USA

As someone who has built a house and has knowledge of real estate...

In the US, a standard bathroom has a toilet, sink, bathtub and/or shower combo. If it's just a toilet and a sink it's considered a half bath.

(If it's just a room with a sink... Depending on how customized the house is. Those are often considered 'mudrooms' and are usually positioned in the house so that, after people come in, they can clean themselves up so as to not track dirt into the main portion of the house.)

That's also why housing listing in the US will list things like "2.5 bath" meaning 2 full bathrooms and one half bath.

In my experience (southeastern Virginia, USA), a lot of homes have 1 or more "full" bathrooms with toilet, tub and/or shower, and sink, and then a small "guest" bathroom with just a toilet and sink. It's also common to see real estate listings with 2.5 bathrooms, meaning 2 full bathrooms and 1 guest bathroom.

Sort of random: I grew up in a house where the master bedroom had a sink w/mirror in it. No toilet or anything, just the sink.

In Australia. The apartment we're renting has the toilet in the bathroom. When we were living in a larger house, we had two larger bathrooms with toilets, and a little one with a toilet and sink. We generally referred to the latter as a WC, which I believe is more European, but it is technically called a half-bath, as anon above said.

Oh, and yeah, having a combination of the two is fairly standard. Most of the time, all bathrooms (with a bath and/or shower, et cetera) have a toilet in it, and you frequently get the half-bath as well. When we were looking for rentals, we'd see stuff like, '2 bath', '2.5 bath', '1.5 bath', pretty regularly.

New England, USA area. My apartment is a recently converted unit (they take the big old houses around here and fix 'em up so like four families can each have an apartment), so the one bathroom has a sink, toilet, and bath/shower combo. My partner's mom's and dad's houses (same area) both have a downstairs half-bath (sink + toilet) and an upstairs full bath. My parents' house in California, though, had two full baths, but the master bath had two sinks in like an alcove, where one side had a door to the walk-in closet and the other side had a door to the toilet and shower. The other bathroom originally had the first bathroom door lead just to the sink, and then a second door inside led to the toilet and bath/shower. The house had three bedrooms and a master bedroom, so I assume it was built for a family bigger than four, so others could use the sink area while somebody was taking a shower or using the toilet.

Canadian here! I have one toilet and bath, one toilet and shower and then the smallest fucking toilet ever. I don't know why my parents haven't just gotten rid of it and use the space better...

Canada, two separate bathrooms. One with a toilet + bath, the other with a toilet + shower. I think it's fairly standard.

One bathroom with bathtub/shower and one toilet with just toilet. That's pretty standard here. Although often when people have a house they have two bathrooms: one of them is usually upstairs and it's big and they have a separate toilet and the other is downstairs with toilet inside.

Germany: in apartments, you usually have bathroom + toilet in the same room, but in houses you might find an extra room that's toilet only (but you'll still have the other bathroom in which there also is a toilet). I've never seen a bathroom without a toilet in it.

Canada - Five bedroom house, 2 full baths + 1 ensuite / Three bedroom house, 1 half bath, 1 full + 1 ensuite.

It's worth noting that the general layout was 1 bathroom per floor plus an ensuite in the master.

UK - Three bedroom house, 1 water closet + 1 two-piece bathroom (no toilet) / Three bedroom house, 1 full bathroom.
