The shower has a grab bar. Standard minimum commercial sizes for enclosures are 36 x 36 in and 30 x 40 in. So-called power showers consume too much water for a medium-sized boar. A sump pump carries away shower water.
Optimum space for the toilet's footprint is 36 in wide; although 30 in will do. A fold-down wooden seat of teak may be located above the marine toilet. A sign gives directions for safe use of the [[ToiletTraining|proper use of the toilet]]. A sanitary bin is provided for disposables that don't go in the toilet.
The floor and half-wall are tiled. The wall is tiled to a height of 32-42 in (pick up the height of any wainscoting or chair-rails in other compartments), with fittings set higher as listed below. Alternatively, you can run the tile to a height of about 51 in, and set the fittings a bit lower inset into the tile. This can look very nice in a larger space.
Fittings include a cabinet with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuja_plicata red cedar] lining and make-up mirror, washstand, counter top and sink, toilet-paper holder, coat hook, cup holder, soap dispenser, shelf for extra towels, plastic-bag dispenser, trash can and a full-length mirror on the inside of the door.
[[File:toilet-holder.png|200px|thumb|left|Poorly placed paper holder]] The faucet on the sink should be tall to easily allow large items to fit under it. Red cedar is best for closets. It contains natural oils that are bacteria and fungus resistant, helping it resist decay and rot. These oils give off a pleasant aroma. The plastic-bag dispenser is for stuff like tampons that shouldn’t go into the toilet. Only biological effects should go into the toilet. Soap holders in the shower should be sloped so water runs out and doesn’t munge the soap bar. Make sure the holder for toilet paper is vertical to your knee (or slightly forward) when you’re sitting on the toilet. Easy access is important.
As a guideline, standard household heights for fittings are:
