How big should a master bathroom be?

Ideally, a master bathroom should be big enough to allow you to spread your wings a little — that’s kind of the point! We prefer to leave enough square footage for:

• A well-appointed walk-in shower enclosure
• A comfort-height double vanity (sometimes referred to as “his and hers” or “jack and jill”)
• A comfort-height elongated toilet
• Ample storage space (linen closet, etc.)

If we have the room and budget for a more extensive master bathroom buildout, we can look to incorporate separate “zones” for a more personal, spa-like experience:

• Bathing (we prefer a freestanding tub)
• Showering
• Toileting
• Grooming
• Linens and laundry
