Most bathrooms are often the smallest rooms in the house. Yet some households have bigger than average bathrooms with plenty of empty space. Such larger bathrooms can therefore pose challenges when figuring out how to fill this extra space without cluttering.
Fortunately, there are many creative ways to transform a big bathroom into a comfortable and functional space. From converting storage areas into seating to adding decorative touches that can make the space feel more inviting, this room can be made into an enviable luxurious retreat with just a few simple adjustments.
Here, The Bathroom Showroom explores some of the most innovative and stylish ways to fill a big bathroom space. Offering tips and guidance, you can help turn your customers' big bathrooms into places of relaxation and comfort.
Assessing Bathroom Space
When it comes to transforming a big bathroom, the first step is to assess the space available. Take a look at the walls, floors, and ceiling to see what kind of room you're working with. Are there any areas that could be converted into storage or seating? Is there a particular colour scheme or theme that the homeowners want to incorporate into the space? Answering these questions will help you develop a plan for a big bathroom makeover.
Creative Storage Solutions for the Bathroom
Storage is always an issue in any bathroom, but it’s especially challenging in a big bathroom. However, with a little creativity, empty spaces here can be transformed into functional storage areas.
-
One option is to use bathroom drawer units, like those found in the VitrA Root Collection. These can be used to store towels, toiletries, and other bathroom essentials. You can also add baskets or bins to keep smaller items organised.
-
If your customer has a large vanity, consider adding bathroom drawer inserts to keep all items organised and easy to find.
-
Another option is to add floating shelves to the walls. These can be used to display decorative items or to store items such as candles and bath salts.
-
You can also add a medicine cabinet to store medication and first aid supplies. Consider adding a freestanding cabinet like those from the iflo Trapani Furniture Collection. These can be placed in empty corners or along the walls. You can also add a ladder shelf to store towels and other items.
-
Another creative solution is to add a storage bench or ottoman. These can be used to store extra towels or to keep bathrobes and other items within reach.
Utilise Seating in the Bathroom
Seating can be a great addition to a big bathroom, especially when there’s extra space to fill. A comfortable chair or bench can provide a relaxing spot to sit and unwind after a long day.
-
If there’s a window in the bathroom, consider adding a small table and chair set to create a cosy nook. Another option is to add a built-in bench or window seat. These can be used to store towels and other items while providing a practical seating area. A vanity bench or stool added provides a comfortable spot to sit while getting ready in this room.
-
If the shower area is large, consider adding a built-in waterproof seat inside. This can be a great addition for those who prefer to sit while showering. You can also add a corner bench to the shower to create a spa-like atmosphere.
Incorporating Lighting to Promote Zones
Creating zones in a large bathroom helps make a statement in each area. From the vanity area to the shower, around the bath and even the toilet, zoning can create several focal points. Furthermore, by styling these zones with unique lighting choices, homeowners can make a real statement in this room.
-
Add a spectacular statement chandelier, like the Spa Vela, to the centre of a large bathroom to create a focal piece.
-
Follow up this choice with Plinth Kits such as those from Pro-Light inside the shower unit and around the bath or basin.
-
Finish off around the vanity for a perfect decorative effect with Spa Lighting, promoting a Hollywood style.
Bathroom Renovation Ideas for a Complete Transformation
If your customer is looking for a complete bathroom transformation, there are many renovation ideas that will work in a large bathroom:
-
Consider adding a fabulous freestanding bath like the Heritage Hylton or a wonderful walk-in shower, such as those in the Novellini range. These can be great additions for those who want a spa-like experience in their bathroom.
-
With such additional floor space available, opt for underfloor heating, like ProWarm, for optimal luxury in this space.
-
Another option is to add a double vanity. This can be a great addition for those who share a bathroom, large families, or those who simply want more storage space.
