Man Space: Plan a Bathroom Fit for a King
Sexy, stylish bathrooms that ooze enough masculinity to pamper the man of the house
The trend towards luxury, hotel-style bathrooms is on the rise and there is no reason why your bathroom shouldn’t be as stylish as the rest of your interior. These indulgent masculine designs will give you flexibility, whether you’re cleansing, relaxing or refreshing at the beginning or end of your day.

TOP TIPS
- Consider underfloor heating when designing your bathroom in areas of the country where winter hits hard. Trust me, you’ll thank me for it in those chilly winter months. Heated towel racks are also a way to add luxury.
- If you are looking to create a bathroom that won’t date in a hurry, keep the colour scheme neutral. Light colours are very classic, or for a dramatic room that will wow, go for dark greys and black.
- For very small bathrooms, use large mirrors to elongate your space. Consider a mirrored wall or full-height mirror from vanity to ceiling.
With more than enough space for two people, why not incorporate a double showerhead?! With plenty of stylish showerheads on the market, you will be spoilt for choice. It’s also a good idea to include a wall-mounted rail shower for those times when you don’t want to wet your sculpted hairdo.
To take relaxation in the bathroom to another level (and fit for a king), install a fireplace – just perfect for winter days and long, muscle-rejuvenating baths.
Right on-trend at the moment is black tapware. An alternative to chrome or white, black is dramatic, stylish, masculine and works perfectly with a monochrome colour scheme like this one.
Think outside the square. Cabinetry isn’t the only way to introduce the warmth of timber into your bathroom. This modern bathroom has kept the overall scheme simple – white with quality fixtures – but made the ceiling a feature.
Men like to take baths, too, so if your floor plan allows, a freestanding bath will add an instant resort feel to a bathroom. Built onto a platform to create an extra layer to the design, the bath is the focal point of this room.
To streamline a small space, installing a floor-to-ceiling fixed glass shower screen will keep the room as open as possible. It also reduces the need to have a step in shower and door.
Fresh, clean and contemporary – grey cabinetry is an alternative to the usual white. It is also very complementary to the chrome features in the bathroom, such as the tapware and framed mirror.
If space allows, a double vanity is a good investment if you are partnered up. It will help to keep the ‘his and hers’ or ‘his and his’ items separate, and allow room for both of you to get ready at the same time.
With the industrial trend still going strong, this copper panelling is a creative way to introduce industrial style into your home. Paired with simple tapware, the metallic addition is the star of this bathroom.
Nothing says luxury like a black bathroom. When keeping the scheme dark, the key is to use different textures. These mosaic tiles are the perfect backdrop.
