Large bathroom design

Repairing in the bathroom requires special care and patience. It is important not only to pay attention to the choice of materials, tools, equipment, but also to the design of the room. In small rooms, functionality is always paramount, and the possibilities for decor are much less. In large bathrooms, there is room for imagination to unfold. But sometimes it is this expanse that leads the hosts into a dead end, because it is necessary to arrange plumbing and furniture so that the room is not empty, as well as create a comfortable atmosphere. Of course, the logical question will be: what is the area considered to be large? If we are talking about an apartment building, then a room of more than seven squares is quite suitable for this definition, in a private house such an area is relatively small, and here it is appropriate to talk about twenty or even fifty square meters. Next, we will figure out how to correctly use large rooms and create a unique design for a large bathroom.

Zoning

For the competent preparation of the design project of a large bathroom, it is necessary to conditionally divide the layout of our room:

• a place for changing clothes;
• bath or shower;
• with combined options - a bathroom;
• storage area;
• cosmetic area and sink

When the zones are delimited, you can proceed to the choice of color palette.

Color

Of course, there are no prohibitions, and the choice of color rests entirely with the owners. A large room allows you to use both gentle light colors and dark colors or a game of contrasts. The main thing is not to overdo it with color, otherwise - your room will become very motley, and this can become tiring over time.

Important! The ideal palette option is three or four basic tones, and two additional shades.

Choose a style

There are also no restrictions. Choose what you like. We will only list the options popular for decorating spacious bathrooms.

Classic

This is a very aristocratic strict version, characterized by straight lines and warm shades:

• A golden palette and voluminous designs will fit well into the classics.
• Here you can use heavy textiles, chandeliers, wrought iron candlesticks, and wooden furniture.

Important! When choosing classics for decorating bathtubs, remember that the ideal solution would be to distinguish between the toilet and the bathroom into different rooms.

Modern design

Time changes, and popular styles change with it. If Classic used to be the leader, today it has been replaced by a wide variety of options: Modern, Minimalism, Fusion and other areas.

The difference in the design options popular today is enormous, but everyone will definitely find something for themselves. So:

• Minimalism is characterized by almost no decorating elements, simple and understandable forms and a large free area.
• Fusion easily mixes several stylistic trends in itself, and allows you to create a simple but unusual atmosphere filled with straight lines, combined with carelessness and natural shades.

Ethnicity

This style is also interesting for its heterogeneity. You can choose the main theme of the room succinct, but gentle Japan, or turn to the mysterious Egypt. Or maybe you will be attracted by the motives of the peoples of the North?

A common feature here is the use of natural materials, and the color scheme will naturally correspond to the chosen topic.

Village style design

This style implies subspecies such as Country, Provence, Russian Village and others. Common features are unprocessed natural materials, such as masonry, wood, bricks.

Differences:

• The interior design of the large Country Bathroom uses checkered patterns.
• Provencal motifs help reveal lavender and pastel shades.
• In the Russian style, you can afford a little more color and an abundance of decorative elements.

Important! Excellent in any of the village motifs will look products from the vine, dim lighting.

Of course, these are not all the styles that can be used in the bathroom. But not to list all. A large room allows you to choose from any style - from luxurious Baroque to strict Minimalism. Pick up, fantasize, and you are sure to find your ideal option. Next, we will try to figure out which plumbing fit into the interior design of a large bathroom.

Plumbing

When choosing a bathroom, remember about your interior. Perhaps an acrylic bathtub will suit you, or maybe a cast-iron bath, or plumbing made of glass. Remember about color.

Important! Today, the choice of plumbing is possible in almost any shade and design you need. You can pick up an expensive collection bathtub on legs, plumbing built into the podium or a simple acrylic model without any “bells and whistles”.

Since we are talking about a large room, perhaps you decide to install a jacuzzi, a mini pool or an electric sauna. And if you decide that there will only be a bath in the room, then you can put it in the center of the room.

Important! If not only the stylistic component is important to you, but also practicality - think about combining the bathroom and shower in one room.

If the room is combined with the toilet, then a bidet can be installed nearby, separating this part of the room with a small partition. And if you wish, you can put a double sink with a countertop, which is perfect for a large family.

Materials

When you have decided on the plumbing, you can begin to choose the finish. Today, stores have a huge selection of all kinds of materials. Let's talk about the most popular options that emphasize the design of large bathrooms.

Ceramic tiles

When they talk about finishing materials for bathrooms, the first thing they remember about tiles. This is a very popular material, perfect for the difficult conditions of a bathroom, with a huge selection of textures and colors. Combinations of tiles and other finishes look very stylish. For example, staining or textured plaster.

Porcelain Tiles

This is a very durable material that has won the love of users along with tiles. Most often, it is purchased for flooring, but in large rooms, especially in the classical style, it will look great on the walls.

Mosaic

This type of decoration allows you to create small separate areas, and is also ideal for covering niches and other non-standard bends of the room. Mosaic areas around mirrors or sinks look very stylish.

Important! With the help of mosaics, you can make a tabletop decor or create an incredible beauty pattern. If it’s difficult for you to make a pattern yourself, there are already ready-made patterns, even whole pictures from mosaics.

Marble

A very stylish finish in the design of a large bathroom is obtained from marble. The material is characterized by durability, reliability, but its cost, unfortunately, is not available to everyone.

Painting, plastering

It is important not to forget that the materials are resistant to difficult conditions of the bathroom. The best option would be to mix painted surfaces with other finishes.

Wood

Wooden elements in the interior immediately create warmth and comfort, but it is better not to overdo it with such a finish in rooms with high humidity. You can add it as small parts of your interior, where the material will definitely not have contact with water.

When all materials are selected, it remains only to create your unique interior design of a large bathroom, without making mistakes. And help with this - advice from the masters.

Recommendations

Creating the design of a large bathroom, it should be remembered that even small mistakes can ruin the whole picture:

1. Be sure to think through the lighting. If set incorrectly, the concept of your room may be lost.
2. Consider how to combine finishes. There are types and shades that will work on the concept of the room, but there are completely incompatible things.
3. There is no need to save money when decorating a large bathroom. Cheap plumbing can quickly become worthless, which will entail not only the purchase and installation of new ones, but also if the circumstances are unsuccessful, it will lead to the remaking of a large part of the room. And the choice of cheap materials can entail an absolutely unpresentable kind of room that neither decor nor expensive plumbing will save.
4. Carefully consider storage space. Your convenience depends on their functionality.
5. Do not clutter up the room with a bunch of small parts. From this, even a spacious room will look like a big dump.

Important! Despite the huge area, you should remember that you should be comfortable. Therefore, if the empty space does not please you - fill it with a chest of drawers or a closet for towels, a floor mirror, a coat hanger, a dressing table or put small soft padded stools.
