Bathroom inspiration: Eight ensuite design ideas

Lavishly bedecked in imported Israeli limestone, this luxurious ensuite has all the hallmarks of a spa retreat. Flowing straight into an expansive walk-in wardrobe, the two-person tub, Kohler basin and spacious glass-screened shower all offer garden views.

Don’t be scared to make a bold statement in a small room! This modest space oozes drama, with walls painted in Dulux Wash & Wear 101 Advanced Low Sheen in Black topped off with a crystal chandelier.

If your home has a strong look, carry the same colours and textures into your ensuite. These white and mushroom hues match the main bathroom and kitchen areas.

If you’re cautious with colour in the rest of the home, your ensuite is the perfect place to express yourself! Pair your favourite shade with white for a colourful yet classic look. This refurbished basin and brass basin stand are from Smith & Carmody, and on the floor are Popham hexagonal tiles in Robin Egg and Summer Sky,Onsite Supply+ Design.

If your ensuite is in direct view from your bedroom, keep the colour palette similar to create clean lines and a welcoming entrance. This white, gleaming bathroom with large format charcoal tiles reflects the classic appeal of the home.

Despite the large size of this ensuite, the recessed shower and toilet hidden from view create a sense of privacy. Rolls of white Sheridan towels and Saison body products dress up the chic vanity; for similar, check out French Dressing’s ‘East Hampton’ design.

Add a hidden touch of luxury – this chic ensuite features under-floor heating. Simple, fluffy towels and a wooden Chinese stool from Lightstyle offers warm touches to the sophisticated charcoal-and-white palette.

Your ensuite is your sanctuary and should reflect your personality! This colourful bathroom is filled with sunny touches while keeping the basin timeless in monochrome. For a similar vanity with a striking black top, try the Mizu ‘Geometric’ from Reece.
