German term

Mehr Raum geht kaum!

German to English Other Marketing / Market Research shower cabinets
Hello all,
I haven't been able to think of anything catchy for this yet, so thought I'd let you all have some fun ;-)

This is from a brochure about shower cabinets - this is part of the description of a larger, 5-sided model.

Any ideas?

Splash out on extra space!

(might make more sense in the context)

Thanks.
agree Stephen Sadie : excellent, when do you have time?//let me know when you have time!!! I'll bring 5 friends//or more SPACE to splash out poss.

Thanks. In response to your question, this is providing a welcome diversion from an extremely boring text!
neutral Cilian O'Tuama : sorry to put a damper on things, but does 'splash out' not mean to waste your money or to pay too much for something?
4 hrs
Possibly, but I was thinking more in terms of indulging in a bit of luxury. This model is going to cost more than the others, after all!
neutral Francis Lee (X) : (almost) w/ Cilian; a neat idea in itself, but 'splash out' doesn't exactly make it sound preisgünstig (which may well be irrelevant to this clientele, but still ...) // As we all know, the UK ad world is far too sophisticated for the German market
5 hrs
As I've said to Cilian, I was trying to appeal to the instinct to indulge in something special and a bit more fun, as opposed to the cheapest possible. (In the UK there is a TV ad for a well know brand of beer with the slogan "reassuringly expensive").
agree rangepost : The last note is good.

Luxury sized

The Jumbo shower cabinet
Plenty of room to swing a cat (sorry, couldn't resist that one)
Peer comment(s):
agree BrigitteHilgner : King sized (and I only approve if you promise to drop the suggestion about the poor pussy!) Got it! ;-)

Between you and me, of course, read "cat" as CAT (Computer-assisted translation system).
agree Michele Johnson : Or maybe: "The luxury of size" or "Space: the ultimate luxury" or similar

agree Francis Lee (X) : and I almost suggested "enough room to swing a loofah" // only when I'm alone in the tub ... :-P

Do you do much loofah swinging?

true, though I think fit for a king would work. The last bit was just to be funny. Thanks for your feedback.

Perhaps, \"the five-sided place with lots of space\" would have been better.
