Optimum layout

The role of the bathroom has changed in recent years: from a functional sanitary space, it has evolved to become a haven of wellness, where rest and relaxation are important considerations, alongside the usual hygiene fittings. More and more people are therefore opting for spacious, stylishly designed bathrooms.

Are you looking for ideas to create an inviting feel in a large bathroom? We have a few suggestions and tips to help you design and furnish your large bathroom. Decorating a large bathroom can feel daunting, and you might be wondering how you can design a space that is both stylish and comfortable. The first, important step is to organise and divide the space wisely. Then you can think about furnishing it with coordinating bathroom furniture and high-quality materials to create a warm and bright atmosphere. The result will be your own personal feel-good sanctuary that combines aesthetic appeal with flawless functionality.

The ideal bathroom size

When is a bathroom considered large?
The sanitaryware sector distinguishes between small, medium and large bathrooms. On average, large bathrooms are at least ten square metres in size. If your bathroom is large enough, you can plan to include a wellness area, for example, by adding a steam bath or sauna, in addition to the usual bathroom fittings.

To make your large bathroom feel cosy, divide it into smaller areas. Tiles can also be used to create visual differentiation, with tiles in different colours and patterns for individual areas of the room.
Villeroy & Boch offers a wide selection of high-quality wall and floor tiles that are ideal for this.

The perfect shower and bath

Many things that are impossible in small bathrooms can be easily achieved in a large bathroom. For example, there is nothing to stop you installing both a shower and a bath if you wish. And the dimensions can be larger too.

Think about which bath will look best in your large bathroom.
Villeroy & Boch offers an extensive selection of baths in different sizes, shapes and colours. Our collections provide extensive scope for personalised bathroom design. We also have a wide selection of modern shower trays, from square and rectangular models to quadrant shower trays with rounded corners.

Matching washbasins and bathroom furniture

When you have ample available space, you’re completely free to choose your washbasin. If you opt for an elegant Villeroy & Boch surface-mounted washbasin, you could even place it in the centre of the bathroom to show off the beautifully designed work of art. Are you looking for a large washbasin? If so, a handsome “Finion” vanity washbasin is a good choice. Does the whole family use the room? Then consider a double washbasin.

When designing your bathroom, don’t overlook the importance of stylish furniture. Our versatile cabinet and shelf units, beautiful mirror cabinets and vanity units will help you create a welcoming feel in your bathroom.

The ideal toilet for a large bathroom

At Villeroy & Boch, you can also find high-quality, elegantly designed toilets. From washout and washdown toilets to wall-mounted, floor-standing and rimless models, we have a wide selection of toilets for you to choose from. They all feature comfortable seating and will fit seamlessly into any bathroom design and size.

Our tip: to maintain privacy, position the toilet behind a decorative partition at the back of the bathroom.

Create an appealing and harmonious colour scheme

The first thing to consider when designing a bathroom is the mood set by the colour scheme. Colour plays an important role in the bathroom as nobody feels really comfortable in a purely functional space. The colour scheme for the bathroom should reflect your personal style and preferences. For example, if you wake up feeling full of energy, you’ll need a colour to match your lively mood. If you prefer to take things a little slower in the morning, opt for more soothing colours in your bathroom.

Presenting a large bathroom in the best possible light

As well as the colours, the lighting also helps set the mood in the room. Consistent ambient lighting tends to look rather boring. Clever use of light and shadows is the ideal way to create interesting effects in your bathroom. As a general rule: each area in a large bathroom should have separate lighting. Bright light is useful around the washbasin, while the mood can be a little more romantic around the bath. A large illuminated make-up mirror above the washbasin provides an additional light source and is also an attractive design feature in the bathroom. Recessed lights can be seamlessly set into a suspended ceiling to deliver ideal ambient lighting.

Selected materials for a cosier atmosphere

Whether you want to redesign your existing bathroom or plan a new one, when designing a large bathroom, a coherent and harmonious concept is crucial. Warm colours on the floors and walls are particularly popular in large bathrooms as they create a sense of warmth and cosiness. Homely accents can be added with touches such as high-quality, easy-care floor tiles in a wood look. Turn your spacious bathroom into a sanctuary of well-being with contemporary wooden bathroom furniture finished with elegant details. Seating, beautiful bath rugs and colour-coordinating bath towels also add a warm note to the bathroom.

Large tiles for beautiful effects

Large tiles are popular for their appealing style and they also come with one great advantage: a larger tile surface means fewer joints. This makes the surfaces even easier to clean and creates a bright and spacious feel in the bathroom. Large tiles can be used on walls as well as floors.

Our tip

Mix large and small tiles to create different looks in individual areas of your bathroom.

Large, accessible bathrooms

Would you like to feel completely at ease in your bathroom, even in your later years?
Then it’s a good idea to plan an accessible bathroom from the outset. This will help you to live independently in your home for as long as possible without outside assistance. And the added comfort will be a bonus right from the start.
