My wife and I bought an old house which has been rearranged many times over the years. One upstairs room has a sink, but no toilet or shower. The toilet is in a separate room with its own sink. It’s the weirdest arrangement, but it works great.
We call it the toothbrush room. Most houses don’t have such a room, but I do recommend it. It gets more use than most rooms. Obviously the entrance and kitchen gets the most use, but the whole family comes through the toothbrush room at least twice daily.
We’ve set some cabinets, make up mirrors, the ironing board, all the hair appliances and such. It’s perfect for getting ready, ironing a shirt, flattening the hair, shaving or putting on makeup without having to stand in shit fumes or shower moist. It’s the perfect ready room.

That sounds like luxury when you consider that my shower, toilet, sink and toiletries all fit within 0.75m²
It is luxurious. It’s approx. 5 m² , but well worth the space.
If we ever buy a home without one, I’d gladly sacrifice 5 m² from any other room to make this kind of preparation room. It works great for a family.
If I were alone, I’d probably build a tiny house with a combined shower/toilet, but I’d keep my toothbrush in the kitchen.
That’s essentially what I did but I went with the floating option instead of being on land. Definitely not family friendly (or for tall people) haha
