How close for the toilet and vanity

bathroomtoiletvanity

is there a rule of thumb, for how close the bathroom vanity should be next to the toilet…

Doing a remodel, and would like to have a larger vanity, but don't want to encroach on the toilet and (um) comfortable seating.

And for full disclosure, I had a plumbing issue, the local ServePro guys removed everything in the bathroom – toilet and vanity – so, I could not measure it or "test" it before everything was torn out – let's say it was an emergency…

Thanks

30" clear across so 15" from center of the flange to either side is the minimum. There is a little wiggle room like 1/2-1" less on one side if the other side is completely open and you have to consider the size of the occupants.
