I have built 2 darkrooms in garages. My current one is 4' by 9' and I have been able to print up to 16x20. I still can park my tent trailer in the garage. The secret for me has been to build L shaped sinks. Drying rack and storage in the sink base. I have 1 double base cabinet on the floor with the enlarger (Saunders 4500), the sink and a wall hung cabinet. It is cozy but it works.

Not "compact" but it does occupy half of my 2 car California garage, in which I manage up to 30"x40". The other half for presentation, storage (note kayaks ), tools, etc. - which my wife also shares as an auxiliary office. I only wish I had 3X the space available for presentation as for lab space.

The most efficient way of using space in a small darkroom I found, was using just one tray with all the chemicals on small containers ready to be dumped the tray. You start with the developer in the tray, and when you finish pour it back, then the stop and so on. The only drawback is you have to be very careful and clean it very well to avoid contamination when doing the next print. Its amazing the paper size you can process this way in a very tight place.
