The Best Layouts for Large Bathrooms
Stately homes, manor houses, mansions and other large detached houses offer many lifestyle benefits—one of which is the size of their bathrooms. Yet, whilst a big bathroom is certainly highly desirable, remodelling one can pose some challenges—namely, how do you style a large master bathroom? That’s why we’ve put together some interior design tips for those of you looking to make the most of your spacious bathrooms.

Sagitta Corian® Artista Dust Wall Mounted Double Washbasin
Invest in a double washbasin
“What can I put in my oversized bathroom?” is a question many of us face when we upgrade to a larger home. Start by thinking about the size of the products you introduce—a double washbasin is the most obvious that comes to mind.
What’s the point of fighting over the bathroom sink when you can just both be in there at the same time with a basin each? It’s not as if you’re short on space. A jack-and-jill (or jill-and-jill, jack-and-jack, or whatever else describes your home life) type washbasin will make those precious morning minutes all the more efficient. Plus, how striking does a double basin look?

Fit a freestanding bathtub
Fitting a bathtub flush to the wall is a space saving exercise. So, when you have space to spare, there’s no need to do that. Not that you’ll necessarily want to parade around your tub, but being able to walk around all sides of the bath certainly does feel luxurious.
A freestanding tub should be the centrepiece of a large bathroom remodel. Around it, the rest of your furniture will be established. So, choose wisely when selecting which type of freestanding tub to buy. Will you buy an acrylic bathtub, a Corian® bathtub, or even a marble bathtub?

Maximise your storage
Even if you decide you want to style your bathroom minimalistically, doing so in a large space means you can afford to build in lots of cabinetry. In a smaller bathroom, you might be tempted to incorporate a vanity unit so that your washbasin space doubles up as storage. If you do it in a larger bathroom, it’ll be purely a matter of taste.
A large bathroom affords you the opportunity to think about wall-mounted and freestanding cabinets wherever you choose to put them. Free your mind, design wise and build purely in terms of how your cabinets look and where you want them. Don’t worry so much about trying to pack them in—you don’t need to!

Build a stunning walk-in shower
Showers do not have to be mounted over the bath or, indeed, in a corner, you know. They can have a whole wall to themselves, if you like. Be it a double shower with taps at either end or a wellness shower that gives your bathroom a spa-like feeling, a beautiful walk-in shower can really transform a large bathroom.
Think about panelling the back wall of your shower in a contrasting tile to really make it stand out from the rest of the space—a clash of marble types, perhaps. Even incorporate succulents and other plants into the space, if your bathroom has enough natural light—it will certainly enjoy the right amount of moisture.

Create a statement wall
How do you decorate a large bathroom wall? Should you tile it with beautiful ceramics, fill it with storage, put mirrors on it or even wallpaper it? It all really depends on what you’re looking to get out of the design. One great decorating tip for large bathrooms, though, is to create a statement wall, ideally along the back wall so it will really blow you away when you first walk in.
Bathroom wall coverings aside, you might want to consider using your statement wall as the home of your shower. Or you might wish to hang a single large painting or dozens of small ones there. Though, beware, buying art for the bathroom can be something of a risky business. One thing’s for sure, creating a space that feels busy will help the rest of the space feel less imposing, even if you keep the rest of it relatively stripped back and sparse.
