What is the difference between these words: ванна, ванная, туалет?

So how do we say BATHROOM in Russian? Is it ванна, ванная or туалет? Let's look at these words more closely.

ВАННА stands for BATHTUB or any TUB, like washbasin. So this is a piece of furniture in the bathroom.

Depending on the type of house Russians live in, they might have one room that has both sink, bathtub and toilet bowl in it. This room will be called ВАННАЯ. Other housing type has two rooms, one with toilet bowl in it called ТУАЛЕТ and another one with a sink and a bathtub called ВАННАЯ.
