10 Easy Pieces: Compact Toilets

August 23, 2017

In a small bathroom, real estate is at a premium. One of the biggest space hogs is that hunk of porcelain called a toilet. Wall-mounted toilets can shave inches off their floor-standing counterparts, but they aren’t always practical due to budget and building constraints. The average toilet depth (or length, as we refer to it here) is between 28 and 30 inches, but there are models that come in below the 28-inch mark. We’ve listed them here along with a few especially compact wall-mount models.
