“The master bathroom is becoming a real point of focus, and since it’s one of the most used rooms in the house, it’s an opportunity to make a statement,” said Beth Fisher, senior management director of marketing for the Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, a real-estate sales and marketing firm and developer in New York.

AIA’s Home Design Trends ​fourth quarter 2015 design survey of 500 architectural firms. 29% of AIA’s respondents said their clients want bigger bathrooms, up from 25% a year ago. ​ ​
