Design tips for a cosy master bath

The bathroom usually serves as a calming retreat after a hard day’s work. To fully enjoy the benefits of a relaxing bath, it's very important to have a master bathroom that is both beautiful and practical. Here are some design tips for a great master bath.

Comfortable connections

When deciding on the layout of the bedroom, ensure that the paths between the door, bed, and bath are efficient and comfortable. To keep its privacy, place the bathroom out of the way and as far from the entry as possible. If there is enough space, a dressing area or walk-in closet can be built to separate the bathroom from the bedroom. The master bathroom is in a private room, so its door might be left open most of the time. To ensure that this doesn’t mess up the atmosphere of the bedroom, make sure that opening the door to the bathroom gives a nice view.

A room inside a room

Although the master bath is an extension of the master bedroom, it should still feel like a separate room. Arrange your bathroom fixtures around a central space to give the bath a more room-like feel. Use fixtures that go with a certain theme for your bathroom. Whether you want a modern shower, a zen home spa, or a romantic and classic bath, make sure that it meshes well with your master bedroom. It would also be a good idea to bring in some decorations to the bathroom. A nice potted plant, a framed artwork, or an accent chair really works wonders for the bathroom.

Separate spaces for specific functions

Designating an enclosed space for the bathtub, shower, sink, and toilet isn’t really necessary, but having a few walls or half walls between these areas can really improve a bathroom’s appearance. Of course, building separate rooms for the toilet and shower requires more floor space, so it’s important to divide the space wisely. In cases where divisions between different functions just won’t work, a gorgeously designed tub or toilet can serve as both an essential piece and a decorative fixture for the room.

Not too big and not too small

If the bathroom takes up just as much space as the bedroom, then someone has definitely gone overboard with the bathroom planning. A bathroom that is sized just right has enough space for someone to go about the necessary functions with ease and maybe some extra floor space for a small chair. However, if the bathroom can still comfortably fit a massive couch or a small bed, then it is definitely too big to be practical.
