Most codes require at least 15 inches (measured from the center of the toilet) from any side wall or obstruction and not closer than 30 inches center to center to any other sanitary fixture. (The NKBA actually recommends 32 inches.) There should be at least 24 inches of clear space in front of a toilet or bidet.
If you toilet is in an enclosed stall, there should be approximately thirty to thirty-six inches between the walls. Two feet is a good clearance distance in front of the toilet and if it is beside a sink then a minimum of four inches is required or fifteen inches if it is beside a bathtub. As with the toilet twenty-four inches is an acceptable clearance in front of a sink with six inches being the minimum if the wash basin is adjacent to the bath tub. Consider getting around the plumbing fixtures, vanity, and shower stall to be an important consideration when designing your bathroom.
