Free Bathroom Remodel Planner
Draw your bathroom to scale, drop in a toilet, vanity, tub, and shower that snap to the walls, and get live clearance warnings plus a cost estimate — free, no sign-up. Switch to elevation to place a mirror, medicine cabinet, and wall shelves at the right height.
How to plan a bathroom that actually works
Bathrooms are the hardest room to lay out because everything fights for the same few square feet — and each fixture needs clear space around it to be usable and to pass inspection. This planner lets you draw your real room to scale, then slide the toilet, vanity, tub, and shower around until the clearances work, all before you commit to plumbing.
As you place fixtures they snap to the walls, and the warnings panel flags the mistakes people make most: a toilet crammed too close to the vanity, or not enough clear floor in front of it. A running materials list and cost range update on the right so you can see the budget move as the design changes.
The clearances that make or break a bathroom
The single rule worth memorizing is the toilet clearance: leave at least 15 inches from the centerline of the toilet to any wall or fixture on each side (so about 30 inches of total width), and at least 21 inches of clear floor in front of it. Give the vanity and shower a comparable 21–30 inch approach, and keep any door swing from colliding with a fixture. The planner checks the toilet clearances for you and warns when two fixtures overlap.
Standard bathroom dimensions to design around
Fixtures come in predictable sizes; designing to them keeps your plan buildable. The planner ships with these standard US dimensions:
| Element | Standard size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Toilet | 20" W × 28–31" D | 15" from centerline to each side; 21" clear in front |
| Vanity (single) | 24–48" W × 21" D | Counter ~32–36" high |
| Vanity (double) | 60–72" W × 21" D | Two basins; needs a longer wall |
| Alcove bathtub | 60" W × 30–32" D | 30" of clear approach space in front |
| Shower | 36 × 36" min | 48 × 36" and 60 × 36" more comfortable |
| Pedestal / wall sink | 20–24" W | Good for powder rooms; little storage |
| Walkway | 30" min | Clear floor path between fixtures |
Frequently asked questions
Is the bathroom planner really free?
Yes — completely free with no account and no email. Drawing your room, placing fixtures, clearance warnings, the cost estimate, and every export (PNG, print-to-scale, SVG, and CAD-ready DXF) are all free.
How much clearance does a toilet need?
A common guideline is at least 15 inches from the toilet centerline to any wall or fixture on each side (about 30 inches total width) and at least 21 inches of clear floor in front. The planner warns you when a toilet is too tight.
Can I open the plan in CAD software?
Yes. The DXF export writes standard AutoCAD R12 with separate layers for walls, openings, fixtures, and annotations, so it opens cleanly in LibreCAD, AutoCAD, and most CAD tools with dimensions intact.
Does my plan get saved?
It autosaves in your browser, so it is there when you return on the same device. You can also download a project file for a permanent copy. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
