Apparently there's a lot of different terms...

Okay. I’m officially intrigued.

A small room that just has a shower, though, I'd probably call "the shower". Or "the shower room", or "shower cubicle".

Is this common? I've never seen it in a house, and it sounds very odd.

I've lived in places that had that; but to be fair, we're talking about pokey bedsits and houses converted to fit 15 students into a normal-sized family home, that sort of thing.

I don't know about how common they are, but that's the way I designed my sisters master bathroom when I did her house a year or two ago (it was a request on their part.)

Really? They have a master bathroom with no sink or toilet? I've seen bathrooms that have a shower stall instead of a bathtub (my parents' master bathroom is like that), but never a room with just a shower and nothing else.

Unless it's one of those enormous bathrooms that's basically two separate rooms - but even then, you usually have the shower/bath and toilet together, and the sink/vanity separate.

Not exactly. It's a room within a set of rooms. They started out requesting two separate bathrooms a his and a hers and wanting complete privacy. There was no way to do that and keep down the square footage so they ended up with sort of a bath/dressing suite. There's a private watercloset, an enclosed shower "room" with both shower and dressing area. And then a room with the lavs that connects these rooms to both the closets and the laundry room, which is still pretty flipping elaborate (I think) but less so than having two entirely separate bathrooms than they wanted for the master bedroom.

Ah, that seems more like the "two-room bathroom" I mentioned at the end of my comment.

But now I'm envious of their spacious bath suite! lol

By the time the closets and laundry are included, it's as big as the master bedroom! Which I find pretty hilarious because it's on the second floor so their bedroom = both of the boys bedrooms put together!

My sis went a bit house mad. :)
