(Image credit: Future)

Large bathrooms provides the luxury of space – to include more features geared to your lifestyle and to create a haven of indulgent relaxation. It’s the opportunity to include a glamorous freestanding tub, perhaps positioned in the center of the room so that its beautiful shape can be enjoyed to the maximum. Or perhaps you want a double shower to share with your partner, or wellness features such as a sauna?

Double sinks will give couples a sense of personal space, while a generous vanity offers storage so that lotions and potions are close to hand. There are plenty of bathroom ideas to help you plan your space; the key is to consider your priorities before you start designing your room so that you can include the elements most suited to your requirements.

Below, we showcase the best large bathroom ideas, so that your space feels inviting, luxurious, and practical.

Large bathroom ideas

If you have a large bathroom, you may be looking for ways to make the most of the generous space. This could be choosing the best master bathroom ideas to make your bedroom and bathroom suite a retreat from the rest of the family. Perhaps you are looking for clever family bathroom ideas, or maybe you are considering a spa bathroom dedicated to unwinding and wellness? Whatever your needs, designing a large bathroom well is key to ensuring it feels inviting, despite its size. Below, we showcase the best large bathroom ideas to show you how.

1. Install double basins to create space for all

Whether you are considering the design of a Jack and Jill bathroom or simply want to create a luxury bathroom, double bathroom basins will feel both practical and indulgent.

‘With a large bathroom, you generally have more choice about where you position all the elements and space to incorporate every conceivable luxury,’ says James Lentaigne, creative director of Drummonds . ‘Separate freestanding basins give each partner their personal space. As well as being practical, they also create splendid focal points and create a wonderful symmetry in the design scheme.’

Note the bathroom rug idea – and the bathroom wallpaper – both serve to create a welcoming scheme that echoes bedroom decor. Another trick is to introduce bathroom art ideas, again decorating a bathroom like you would a bedroom enhances its appeal.

2. Create a focal point in a large bathroom

A freestanding bath needs space to show off its sculptural shape and highlight its role as the eye-catching centerpiece of a beautiful large bathroom. This traditional freestanding bath from CP Hart matches the style of the architecture in the rest of the room and creates a sense of inviting and serene modern luxury. The bathroom paint idea behind the tub helps to showcase the bath's profile beautifully, too.

Don't be shy about decorating with mirrors in a large bathroom – particularly if your space is a little starved of natural light or is painted a dark color. Note, though, how the wall lights in this bathroom have cream-beige shades; this is purposeful, creating warm pools of light that will reflect further into the mirrors for a welcoming, warm feel – a must in a large bathroom.

3. Install twin showers for a luxe look

This may not be a large bathroom idea you use every day, but a double walk-in shower to share with your partner – or to pile the kids into at once – makes an indulgent addition to any bathroom.

‘I recommend that a double shower be at least 5½ ft (160cm) wide to accommodate two people comfortably,’ says interior designer Irene Gunter of Gunter & Co .

4. Work a bath and shower into a large bathroom

A large bathroom means no compromise and a rethink of bathroom layout ideas. In this design, there is a luxuriously grand, super-size shower area, which frames bath tub in front of it. The panel of transparent glass, framed in black, enhances the airy feel of the room, while creating a definite style statement. The shower zone can be accessed from both sides, further boosting the sense of space.

5. Mix materials to create interest

The choice of two flooring materials in this bathroom, featuring the Flow collection by Jee-O , serves to do more than simply delineate the bathing and hand washing zones – it also adds a degree of design flair and textural contrast that elevates the interest in a large space, which might otherwise be in danger of lacking warmth or personality.

6. Maximize the storage – but make it beautiful

For anyone looking for large bathroom ideas, know that storage needn't be space-saving, but it can be designed to look more like living room or bedroom furniture. One way to do this is with impressive bathroom vanity ideas, which can make a design statement in a large bathroom, as well as providing twin sinks and plenty of bathroom storage, ideal for partners who are like to get ready at the same time. Hardware from Modern Matter and mirrors flanked with wall lights complete the glamorous and eye-catching effect.

7. Consider the tub shape

A large bathroom offers the opportunity to depart from the norm and create an individual look, for example by replacing a ‘standard’ rectangular tub with a circular design.

‘This design expands from the bottom up – it is shaped like a white tulip,’ says internationally acclaimed designer Philippe Starck of his new collection for Duravit . The round White Tulip bathtub is undoubtedly a showpiece, ideal in this generously proportioned room where there is space to show off its freestanding elegance.

A large bathroom can offer space to create a truly indulgent shower, as Giovanni De Filippo of Gessi explains: ‘A totally customized shower transforms the experience of water into a personalized source of balance and health,’ he says. ‘Choose from freefall, rainfall, atomization or concentrated jet showers, in different positions including ceiling, high on the wall for the shoulders, neck and back, or low on the wall for the legs, ankles and feet, and couple the benefits of water with those from light, chromotherapy and music. ’

9. Focus on stand-out lighting

If you are looking for large bathroom ideas with real impact, think bathroom lighting ideas – and, specifically, bathroom chandeliers. These types of fittings will transform a functional space into one that's opulent and indulgent – though they do need to be safety-checked to ensure they are suitable for rooms where the odd splash might hit them.

10. Make room for a sauna

In this generously-sized bathroom created by interior designer Karen Howes of Taylor Howes , a Yoku S Shelf 45 sauna in heat-treated aspen adds an extra note of luxury. The combination of warm, dry air and the fragrance of the natural wood create a calming effect, said to also stimulate blood circulation and deep cleanse the skin.

In sizes from 68½ in x 52in (174cm x 132cm), the modular sauna system is designed to give you the opportunity to enjoy spa-like relaxation at home, from C. P. Hart. The sauna also creates an abundance of storage, great for bathroom shelf ideas.

What can I do with a large bathroom?

In a large bathroom, consider who will be using the space and the options – in order of importance – you would like to include, so that you can plan how many of them you can fit in. Wellness features, such as a shower with aromatherapy and massage jets, might be top of the list for a couple’s spa-like retreat, while a large bathtub might be more important for bathing young children. Perhaps you like to relax in the bath and soak away the cares of the day, gazing at the sky? Then a tub positioned below a feature window might be the most important element of the room.

How do I make a large bathroom feel inviting?

Avoid positioning all the elements around the walls, leaving a vast empty space in the center of the room. Use the central space for a freestanding tub, perhaps, or a chaise as somewhere to relax after your shower. Introduce variations in texture or color – with tiles, paint and screens – to zone the space and create a more intimate feel in each area, an effect that can also be enhanced by lighting. Ideally, position lights at ceiling, wall and low levels, set on dimmer switches, so that you can adjust it according to task and mood, such as an evening bathe in soft light to aid restful sleep.

But, big primary bathrooms can be tricky to design because too much openness can turn into wasted space that feels uninviting where there could be room for extra functionality and relaxation. You can browse our big primary bathroom design ideas in our photo gallery to see some popular ways for people to transform a large space into a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

Going from Bathroom to Spa-Like Retreat

When you have a large bathroom, you need to find a balance between adding so much in that it feels cluttered and leaving it so open that it feels uninviting. It’s a good idea to make use of your large space by adding in functional elements that you’d use, like built-in shelving, a desk, or a walk-in closet. For a luxurious feel, you can add a fireplace to use during relaxing baths and a large walk-in shower or corner bathtub to create a spa-like experience right in your primary bath. For a very high-end feel, adding an in-ground pool to your big primary bathroom isn’t out of the question.

Flooring and Walls in a Big Primary Bathroom

With a big bathroom, you aren’t limited to the colors and types of materials you use because it would likely take a lot to create a cluttered look. Still, overdoing one type of tile on your walls and floors can make your design seem overbearing. Big bathrooms are the perfect space to experiment with different materials, from wood to stone to tiles. Tile flooring in a large bathroom tends to be a popular choice, and porcelain tiles are the most common option for bathrooms we analyzed. Of the 284,048 bathrooms, 32.60%, or 92,610, used porcelain tiles.

Furniture in Big Primary Bathroom Design Ideas

If you have extra space in your primary bath that you aren’t sure what to do with, you may consider a seating area with a sofa and chairs to provide dual functionality to your bathroom. A corner seating area near a window in a large bathroom can double as a reading nook or a quiet place for coffee in the morning. Or, add a large ottoman to the center of the room to break up a large, open space.

110 photos of the best options for decorating and organizing spaceDecor and interior design

Decor and interior design > Site map > Bathroom > Large bathroom - original ideas and examples of designing large areas (110 photos and videos) m. This is a very spacious room, especially for the bathroom. Many owners face difficulties in arranging such rooms. If there are no special options in a small bathroom, then here you can give free rein to your imagination. In a large bathroom, not only convenience is important, but also beauty, because all kinds of decor are appropriate here.

Maximum convenience

If the bathroom is combined, and the room is huge, to put it mildly, it is worth installing the maximum number of plumbing fixtures. Today, toilets with a bidet function are often installed.

But, in a large bathroom, you can place two separate devices - a toilet and a bidet. It is much more comfortable and functional.

Choose large, comfortable fixtures. In a spacious room there is always a place for her.

Twin washbasins

Double washbasins are an extremely convenient and functional solution that will fit perfectly into the design of a large bathroom. This is especially true for large families.

In addition, spouses often have a different approach to the design of the sink and the location of personal hygiene devices in this area. This solution allows you to personalize the sink to the needs and preferences of each spouse.

A large bathroom sink is also a convenient solution. But, as a rule, there is no need for an enlarged sink. Such sinks are only needed for washing dishes or laundry.

But, the dishes are usually washed in the kitchen and washed in the washing machine. Therefore, a better option would be to install paired sinks made in a single design.

Separate bath and shower

If the room is really large, the bath and shower must be separated. This makes it possible to install a modern shower cabin with massage jets and other features. It is also possible to install a shower cubicle of non-standard sizes.

Larger models are also available. For example, there are stylish and comfortable fonts for two. In a large bathroom, you can even realize a miniature pool or sauna. You can see how such solutions look like in the photo of a large bathroom.

SPA at home

There are special shower cabins on the market with a steam function. A very convenient and functional solution that allows you to implement a full-fledged SPA system at home.

In terms of connection, these booths are not complicated. The only difference is that in addition to water, electricity must be connected to it. Such a booth will be not only useful, but also an aesthetic addition to the interior.

Away from the walls

If in a compact bathroom all plumbing, furniture and other items are placed against the walls, then this is not true for a spacious room. If you do this, the bathroom will seem deserted.

Large bathroom furniture can be made built-in. Yes, in this case it will be placed against the walls. However, the bath itself can be moved closer to the center, making it the main focus of the room.

If the bathtub is to be built in, a podium must be built for it. In this way, you can organize a mini-pool. The font can not be built in, but placed on decorative legs at some distance from the walls. It should not be placed in the very center of the room; it is better not to install it on and close to the wall.

Symmetry in the interior

Beautiful design of a large bathroom can be achieved by resorting to symmetry. Not everyone likes this solution, but it fits almost all interior styles.

In a small bathroom, this solution is almost impossible to implement. But, in a large room, symmetrically arranged furniture sets, plumbing fixtures and decorative elements look great.

Position paired washbasins with mirrors symmetrically. Be sure to use the same plumbing and furniture. An additional mirror will look good between them.

And closer to the opposite wall, exactly in the center between the two sinks, a spacious bath will look great.

Not just tiles!

Ceramic tiles are the most popular material for finishing bathrooms, especially small ones. But, in spacious rooms, you can use other, even more beautiful and no less practical finishing materials.

Walls can be finished with decorative plaster or covered with moisture-resistant textured paint. You can even apply moisture-resistant wallpaper with various patterns.

The ceiling can be stretched. Also, natural wood can be used as a finishing material, and a moisture-resistant laminate is often laid on the floor.

Built-in appliances

Today, most designers do not recommend installing household appliances in the bathroom, such as washing machines, dryers, etc. This negatively affects the interior of the room and reminds of its utilitarian purpose.

But, an alternative option is to build appliances into furniture. This almost completely masks the technique in the interior, making the design of the room more elegant and pleasant.
