We've found 17 stunning ensuite ideas for a stylish and practical ensuite bathroom. From clever partition wall ideas to divide the ensuite from the master bedroom – including sliding pocket doors, barn doors, modern Crittall doors and even just partition screens – to luxe details like lighting, tiles and brassware, these ensuite bathrooms all inspire in their own way.

There are ensuite ideas for small bathrooms too. Wood panelling can add texture to a small space, making it feel extra cosy. You could forego walls and instead zone the two areas by changing up the floor height – creating a step down (or step up) to a luxe bathing space. Or switch up the flooring itself – for example from wood or carpeting in the sleeping area to tiles around the bath or shower.

To remove the boundary between the bedroom and bathroom completely, why not move the bath to the bedroom instead? When done right, it can create a boutique hotel vibe.

Whatever your style, and whatever the size of your ensuite, you're bound to find an ensuite bathroom idea here for you.

11. Brave a bold colour scheme

For a grown-up, chic and sultry look, dive in with a dark shade.

The ceiling and vanity below were painted the same bold blue as the bath, creating a cohesive look. The steel-framed shower enclosure acts as a contrast to the more traditional panelling and vanity. Wall-mounted taps, a wall-mounted towel shelf and a clear, acrylic side table all help to make this bathroom feel spacious.

It's easier to go OTT in a room you don't spend huge amounts of time in, as it'll be a pleasant surprise each time you see it rather than overkill. Here this flamboyant floral bathroom wallpaper has been teamed with richly veined marble and brass detailing to dramatic effect.

17. Heritage details

In a small space it makes sense to keep materials to a minimum, so the bath panel blends with the grey timber flooring. Heritage details such as the towel rail, mirror and wall lights add character to this loft ensuite bathroom.

Ensuite ideas come pretty high on a must-have list, when it comes to home luxuries. So much so, that once you've had one, the prospect of moving elsewhere without a similar space just isn't worth thinking about.

These bathroom ideas for ensuites help create a sanctuary in your home where you can steal a few calm, precious moments away to yourself.

With an ensuite bathroom, used by adults only, you can afford to be more adventurous with the decor. As well as being more relaxed about the robustness of surfaces, you can splash out on the fixtures and fittings to help create the dream bathroom you've always wanted.  

From embracing that tile you love, to testing out paint colors deemed too bold elsewhere, it's the room where you can have a little fun. And if it doesn't work out, it's worth remembering that with small bathroom ideas , any decorating fails will be easier to remedy. 

So whether you have a clear idea of what you want for your ensuite space, have notions for something a little bit different, or are starting your bathroom project completely from scratch, we've gathered some gorgeous ensuite ideas to help you create your dream master bathroom.

Ensuite ideas

1. Inject the feeling of space with reflective surfaces

There are lots of clever, space-boosting design tricks that work wonders on an ensuite and make a small bathroom look bigger .

Decorating with mirrors is top of the list. ‘Mirrors are essential for bouncing natural light around the room, instantly brightening and uplifting,’ enthuses Yousef Mansuri, Head of Design at C. P. Hart .

‘Be brave and experiment with shapes and sizes. Oversized mirrors help to make a room look much bigger, while an interesting frame design can add important detail to plain décor.’ 

Practical features to look out for include integrated demister pads and bathroom lighting ideas for the mirror. ‘It is always practical to put an illuminated mirror on a separate circuit to the other lights in your ensuite to give the option of ambient lighting when required, usually at night,’ adds Yousef.

2. Step into the light

Stepping out of a dark, cozy bedroom into a light-filled ensuite is an uplifting way to start any day. 

In this modern design by Scenesmith , dead space between the bedroom and ensuite was fitted with bespoke wardrobes in rich ebony oak veneer. The luxurious walk-through dressing space ends in sliding pocket doors that can be left open to allow borrowed light from the ensuite into the North-facing bedroom.  

‘The dark finish of the cabinetry contrasts and exaggerates the delight of the bright, sun-lit ensuite beyond,’ explains Scenesmith’s director Sophie Smith. 

3. Raise the floor

If you’re lucky enough to have a view worth seeing from your ensuite, make sure the bath is perfectly pitched to enjoy it. 

‘The view from this new ensuite is stunning, so we built a raised platform to make the most of the vistas across the gardens, while at the same time making it much easier to install the new waste pipes,’ recalls interior designer Henriette Von Stockhausen .

Here, Henriette has opted for a clever small bathroom flooring idea by choosing reclaimed wood - crucial for adding warmth in the high-ceiling space.

‘The most important thing for me in any bathroom is to make it feel like a room, so I love to add art, rugs and curtains, just as you would anywhere else in the house,’ adds Henriette.

4. Add pattern and color using wallpaper

Taking design cues from the living room to soften the hard lines and cold surfaces usually found in ensuites is a growing trend. Think flowing curtains, vintage furniture and pretty patterns.

Thanks to modern ventilation systems, and a bit of common sense, you can even incorporate wallpaper in your ensuite.

‘Wallpaper works really well in ensuites, injecting maximum pattern and color in a small area,’ says interior designer Penny Morrison . 

Penny recommends using small bathroom tile ideas for splashbacks or upstands behind the bathtub and basin to protect wallpaper from direct splashes: 'A large sheet of glass sealed over the wallpaper is one of my favourite solutions, as it allows you to enjoy more pattern.’

5. Create a smooth flow from room-to-room

When searching for ensuite ideas to help you decorate, try to create a sense of flow from your bedroom into the bathroom with a complementary scheme. ‘This does not necessarily mean being too matchy. However, picking out key colors works particularly well,’ advises, Helen Shaw, UK director, Benjamin Moore .

‘Your ensuite should feel personal and have the same haven feeling as your bedroom. Soothing pastel shades or off-whites help to ensure the room feels relaxing while also maintaining a feeling of spaciousness due to the lightness of the colors.’

Why not take things one step further and create the ultimate bedroom-bathroom feel with master bedroom ideas with bath. 

6. Let there be light

Nothing beats natural daylight for waking you up in the morning. Combine with one of these walk-in shower ideas and you’ll be ready to tackle whatever the day brings. 

If a regular window is out, consider a roof window or sky light directly above the shower area, pitching the ceiling up into the loft space if necessary. Invest in self-cleaning glass and triple glazing to keep your ensuite cosy and quiet.  

7. Use curved fixtures and fittings to make the most of the space

If you want to include a bathtub in your ensuite, curves are the secret to comfortable access. 

In this master bathroom , Gunter & Co were tasked with finding space for a generous shower and double-ended bathtub, without making the room feel cramped. ‘There is nothing spa-like about a tub that’s wedged in,’ says interior designer Irene Gunter. 

‘We designed a curved vanity and had a shower enclosure curved to match, which gave us the extra inches we needed around the tub.’ Bespoke curved glass is expensive but quadrant enclosures, which are curved at one end, are readily available.

8. Reconfigure the boundaries between your bedroom and bathroom

When reconfiguring your sleeping quarters to include an ensuite, don’t assume the bedroom should be allocated the biggest space. Since your eyes are mostly closed when in bed, why not go big in the bathroom? 

Kitchen Architecture shows us how it’s done with this decadent ensuite and dressing room idea , which means the bedroom can afford to be smaller. 

Featuring floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes amid sleek designer bathroom fittings by Agape, the luxury of spaciousness is achieved without compromising on clothes storage. 

9. Maintain your privacy

The dream scenario in any ensuite layout is to position the toilet on the same wall as the entrance, so on view from the bedroom. 

Sadly, the soil pipe position on an external wall often overrules. Here, bathroom company Ripples commissioned a bespoke iron modesty panel, which has become the highlight of this traditional ensuite.

Other options include hiding the toilet behind a shower enclosure or dwarf wall. ‘Frosted, fluted or tinted shower glass is a really nice, unintrusive way of creating privacy in the shower,’ adds Jo Sangster, senior designer, Ripples.

10. Add a powder room area to your ensuite

If your ensuite bathroom is blessed with an abundance of natural light it could be the perfect spot for a dressing table. East-facing bathrooms are particularly suitable for applying make-up as the light is soft and flattering. 

In this Californian ensuite, Geremia Design included a generous dressing table in the same grey-stained oak veneer as the basin unit opposite. ‘The natural light is perfect for reflecting accurate skin tones in the mirror and the view is nice too. It’s a pleasant place to sit,’ says principle designer Lauren Geremia. 

A space-saving small bathroom storage idea is to consider combining the two by tucking a stool under one end of a wide basin/vanity unit. 

11. Spread out with a double washbasin

Traditionally known as his and hers washbasins, yet now more correctly named a double basin, oversized bathroom vanity ideas with sinks offer oodles more space if you share both bedroom and bathroom with a partner.  

You can choose separate twin washbasins with matching dual mirrors, or opt for a lengthy trough-style sink and a single landscaped mirror, or a combination of both.

Either way, it's definitely worth it if you have the space, not just because of the harmony and symmetry that it adds to an ensuite, but because it also gives you room to stretch out.

12. Create a hidden entrance

Installing a new ensuite, as well as fitted storage? Why not design your walk in closet around the door to your bathroom by giving it a concealed entrance? 

Placing the entrance to your ensuite behind a matching closet door will streamline your bedroom space further, while creating a hidden sanctuary for you to completely relax in.

13. Don't hold back with luxe fixtures

Save the practical design choices for the family bathroom. Your ensuite is where you want to splash out on your decor, from marble tiles and sleek flooring to that gorgeous brass bathtub you've always wanted.  

Also, as is the case with many ensuites, you don't necessarily have to shut the room off from your bedroom, either. The benefits of leaving the space open, much like an open plan living space, include more light in both rooms, as well as the obvious visual space gain. 

While you don't necessarily need to have each space decorated in a matching style, you should aim to choose certain pieces of furniture or decor colors that will link the two spaces together. 

14. Make the most of the space with a wet room

(Image credit: Future/Davide Lovatti)

If space is an issue, consider making your ensuite a wet room. Smart wet room ideas allow you to remove any barriers or screens leaving the space more open, both physically and visually.

'You can create a true wet room by not having a shower screen at all,' says Michael Marcer of Ripples, 'especially if you have underfloor heating to dry the room quickly. But we usually put in a small screen to prevent the rest of the bathroom getting wet. '

15. Stick to soothing textures and shades

(Image credit: Future/Polly Eltes)

If your personal taste is more farmhouse than futuristic, then allow your ensuite to be the place where you can execute this look to the max. 

Decorate the space in soft, soothing shades and splash out on the ultimate bathroom indulgence. A claw-footed tub will help you to achieve a super relaxed scheme.

What typically makes up an ensuite bathroom?

If you're wondering what typically makes up an ensuite bathroom, you've come to the right place.

You can have an ensuite toilet, but the bare minimum required for an ensuite to earn bathroom status is a WC, basin and shower. 

A compact ensuite bathroom that utilises space saving fittings is possible within just 13 square feet but aim for at least 17 square feet if possible. An ensuite with a bath should be around 5 x 6.5 feet for comfort. 

The amount of space you afford should reflect anticipated use. For example, an ensuite for occasional guests can afford to be much smaller than one for a master bedroom that is typically used daily by two people.

How do I get more light into an ensuite?

There are a number of ways to get more light into an ensuite.

Since windowless bedrooms are undesirable, ensuite bathrooms created in space stolen from bedrooms are often windowless. 

Installing a new window doesn’t usually require planning permissions. The window should be similar in design and construction to those in the rest of the house, and windows on upper-floor side elevations should feature obscure glazing. 

Other options include widening the doorway between bedroom and ensuite to share light from the bedroom. Internal windows play a similar role and can be installed above head height to protect privacy. 

Skylights and rooflights are also great for bringing in daylight without worrying about being overlooked by neighbors. Suitability will depend on the type of roof above your ensuite, and budget constraints. A sun tunnel is less disruptive and emits a soft defused light.  

How do you decorate and arrange a small ensuite?

So you've got your layout sorted, but how do you decorate and arrange a small ensuite?

There are no hard or fast rules, but it helps to start by establishing if you’re looking for the calm, clean lines of minimalist fittings or the more decorative but cosier vibe of traditional/vintage design.

If natural light is lacking, seek out light-reflecting materials like glossy tiles and of course mirrors. An ensuite can also prove the perfect place to experiment with luxurious materials, such as designer mosaics, as the smaller surface area won’t blow your budget.

The quickest way to make an ensuite feel cramped is to overcrowd it with fittings. Allow at least 28 inches (70cm) in front of the toilet and wash basin and 32-40 inches (80-100cm) in front of the bathtub and shower.

18 incredible shower ideas to inspire you to renovate

Tired of your shower and need fresh ideas? Maybe it's too tight. Perhaps its appearance is outdated, and it looks somehow dull and gray. Or does the shower area simply lack a certain personality?

Whatever the reason for your dissatisfaction, we will help you by sharing 18 brilliant bathroom shower space design ideas that will completely update the outdated look of the shower and bath.

18 amazing and innovative shower ideas for your bathroom

There are many ways to give your bathroom the look you want. You may need only minor interventions to update it - for example, you just need to change the color of the walls, hang a shower curtain or put a rug on the floor. Sometimes, in order to make the bathroom look fresh and modern, it is enough to replace the plumbing. If you decide to completely update its appearance, you can remove the bathtub and organize a shower area with transparent glass panels in its place or divide the space of the room into two parts - for a shower and a bathtub. Such solutions will look elegant and individual.

The key to most modern design projects is to create an open space or visibility. There are many ways to create this visual effect. It can be achieved with light colors and contrast, well-placed patterns/patterns, and even glass or reflective surfaces. Vertical orientation and giving space depth are a common denominator in current ideas for arranging shower areas, thanks to which each of them will create a feeling of spaciousness and novelty.

#1. BRIGHT, BOLD AND MODERN SHOWER RENOVATION IDEAS

It's amazing how a bright pattern can bring a small space to life. This example has a lot of great little touches to borrow from. First, notice the black-painted ceiling with a metal-framed light fixture. It creates a contrast to the entire space of the room and gives it an interesting look. Wooden shelves with decorative cast-iron brackets add warmth to the room while maintaining a cohesive style. Although plain white tiles are used, they come in different sizes and shapes, creating a really nice texture. And with the help of a curtain with bright patterns, an accent was made - the room immediately “played”.

#2. A GREAT UPDATE FOR A SMALL SHOWER

When working with small spaces, do your best to make the room look bigger. Light colors visually create volume, patterns / patterns also increase it. This ruffled shower curtain adds softness to the space, but at the same time it adds height to the room due to the vertical folds. The white color of the curtain in this room with walls in a soft neutral tone is a smart choice that does not disturb the overall light shade of the space. It is not necessary to make everything monochromatic, but using the same color scheme for walls and curtains can visually enlarge the room.

#3. A BEAUTIFUL EARTH-INSPIRED BATHROOM TILE

Who wouldn't want a custom tiled bathroom with such individual character? Just imagine how wonderful it is to take a shower in such an oasis every day. We really like the color of the tiles on the longitudinal wall. It has the look of marble but in warm, natural earth tones that look so luxurious and inviting. The wall with the image of a tree is a real work of art. It is covered with a slab of Cambrian quartz agglomerate/composite stone (Cambria). The pattern of the tree and leaves is made with the help of inlay, and the shades of quartz are selected by hand. The rest of the room, including the floor, is tiled, while the opposite wall is made entirely of glass. A project of this kind, thanks to its individual and unique features, can seriously increase the value of your home.

#4. SIMPLE WAYS TO GIVE CHIC TO A REGULAR BATHROOM

Sometimes the bathroom becomes a kind of functional room, devoid of any style. It's okay, it can be fixed. With a little creativity, even the most boring bathroom can be made to look chic. You can start by painting the walls (in this case, the cinder block partitions) in the same color, the space will begin to breathe. This will form the basis for further action. Wooden flooring in the shower to some extent will create the atmosphere of a spa. Antique-style wooden hook-and-loop bar adds interest and warmth to the room. With a white top and horizontal gray stripes at the bottom, the shower curtain is the perfect transition piece that adds a sense of verticality to the space while elegantly merging dark floors and light walls into a single look.

#5. Transform your bathroom with patterned wallpaper

No, it's not about old-fashioned patterns. Modern print with trendy patterns will completely transform the look of any bathroom, turning it into a completely new space. These wallpapers will add color, volume and are a great way to bring back to life and modernize an outdated interior. If you're renting a house, self-adhesive wallpaper is generally a great solution - you can stick it on when you move in and take it off when you leave. In this project, in addition to wallpapering the cabinet doors, new handles with a glass head were installed. A glass stand with a hidden fastener was also suspended. Bright white towels and a curtain with a dark blue pattern fit perfectly into the overall color palette.

#6. REFINED DESIGN SHOWER

Does your significant other splash more water when showering than they pour on themselves? Then this project is for you. If you are lucky enough to have a large bathroom, then a glass-framed shower area is an impressive and modern solution. We also love the little pedestal in the shower, which delineates the space in a functional and elegant way. The multicolored neutrals on the tiled floor add some contrast. But what makes this project particularly interesting is the dark wood floors. As for the rug and other textiles, it is better to stick to a neutral range and simple patterns - this will fit well with the minimalist organization of the entire space.

#7. EASY RESTORATION OF THE APPEARANCE OF THE SHOWER: RESTORATION (ENAMELING)

Restoration of a shower cabin or bathtub can give impressive results. In old houses, showers and bathtubs that have faded from time to time and darkened from long use, which, of course, look outdated, are sometimes found. But you can not rush to throw them away: processing these items with enamel is a great and affordable way to restore their appearance. It is best to choose the traditional bright white color, which is associated with cleanliness and freshness. And if you also got a bathroom with faded, faded wallpaper, then a coat of neutral paint will help restore the room to a new look.

#8. LUXURY STYLE SHOWER WITH GOLD ACCENTS

Simply changing the color of your fixtures and fittings can dramatically change the look of your shower area in your bathroom. Subway tiles are extremely popular, but with simple plumbing, they can sometimes look boring and boring. The matte gold hue of the fittings and fixtures immediately brings the look to life in this project. It brings a certain warmth and creates an interesting contrast to the white tiles. Thanks to him, the shower area looks modern. A transparent glass door looks very appropriate, which allows you to see all this beauty, allows you to enjoy the magnificent style. We especially love how well the warm gold hue pairs with the wood cabinetry and the splashes of yellow on the rug.

#9. FUNNY PATTERNS AND SPACE MORE

Yes, you can combine multiple patterns, even in a small space. Take a look at this masterfully crafted project. As already noted, the light colors of the walls and ceiling are what you need when it comes to visually increasing compact areas. However, there is plenty of room for other design choices as well.

This project makes good use of a small vertically designed alcove space and open shelves for storing bath products, which adds extra usable space to the room. To make it look attractive, experiment with artistically executed items for storing various necessary things, for example, place wire or wicker baskets on such shelves.

The tiles in this bathroom are just gorgeous. Check out this geometric pattern. This is an interesting accent, which is contrasted with a gentle greenish bathtub. This tile pairs perfectly with a shower curtain with neutral gray and white stripes and silver sanitary fittings. Only 5 color shades were used in the interior, but what a wonderful result.

#10. RUSTIC MINIMALIST BATH TRANSFORMATION

Simply chic. This bathroom looks like it's located somewhere in a luxury boutique hotel in a resort. The shower frame partition looks elegant. It allows the use of transparent glass to maintain the feeling of spaciousness of the room, but also structures the space and at the same time emphasizes its volume and three-dimensionality. A wooden bench and wooden shelving in the form of a ladder, thanks to the use of natural materials, help to create a warm atmosphere in a rustic style. A beautiful oriental carpet on the floor has the same effect. If your room has enough space, you can decorate it with plants that fit perfectly into this look.

#11. OPEN INTERIOR DESIGN FOR A SPACIOUS BATHROOM

This project is an example of how a bathroom can be enhanced with architectural modifications. Replace the sliding door and bathtub with a shower with this kind of partition, which will make your bathroom much more spacious. This concept can be called a hybrid: the partition is partly a wall, partly a glass panel, and it all looks great. We also love that the dark tiles in the shower match perfectly with the dark flooring in the rest of the room. It's kind of a small touch, but it adds coherence to the whole interior. Framing in bright white, a simple painting on the wall, a rug and a towel were all it took to complete this bold look.

#12. TRADITIONAL STREET VIEW BATHROOM

Windows are not just for living rooms and bedrooms. Some bathrooms offer such stunning views that it's best not to hide them behind shower curtains or frosted doors. Open up your bathroom space with a transparent glass panel and you'll get a double benefit: your bathroom will be visually larger and you'll be able to enjoy the view from the window. If you have such a wonderful window, be sure to cover the frame with waterproof paint to protect the wood from moisture. Such a simple solution will make an ordinary bathroom much more interesting.

#13. CONTEMPORARY AND TRADITIONAL COMBINATION FOR A UNIQUE LOOK

The corrugated/grooved glass blocks look amazing in this project. There are a lot of interesting ideas here. Separating the shower from the rest of the bathroom creates a sense of understated luxury. The use of tiles inside and outside the shower helps to functionally break up and structure the space, creating the necessary counterbalance to the glass blocks. The use of glass panels is a great solution, and the choice in favor of brass fixtures, details and fittings in general is undeniable. And finally, this chandelier - isn't it a miracle?

#14. GREAT BATHROOM RENOVATION

Whenever you can separate the shower from the rest of the bathroom, the result is great. It adds a sense of luxury to the entire space. In this case, the shower area has been reduced to make room for the rest of the room, but the shower has a rain shower head and is separated by a modern looking glass partition. The bright white walls and tiles contrast beautifully with the dark wood cabinetry and floor tiles. Thanks to the renovation, the bathroom is bright and airy and filled with a zen atmosphere.

#15. METRO TILE, WOODEN FLOORS AND GOLD LOOK FITTINGS

Minimalist design and brushed gold combine as beautifully as butter and honey. Plumbing fittings in gold look amazing, although somewhat unexpected. It adds an interesting accent that can transform the entire look of a bathroom. Even the classic "metro" tile is given a new twist thanks to these golden details. The warm tones of the noble metal are especially well combined with wooden floors and furniture. Any shade of blue also complements gold well, as blue and yellow tones are at opposite points on the color wheel and visually emphasize each other.

#16. HACK: SHOWER DOORS SHINING CLEAR

And now for a little surprise! We have some helpful advice for you. All of these bathroom projects use glass or tiles that look perfect when new and clean. What happens when you start showering every day? That's right, everything will be covered in soap splatter, which can sometimes be difficult to remove. To do this, you can use a cloth or napkin dipped in conditioner. Clean glass and tiles with it, and then wash them in the usual way. And here again the shower area shines with cleanliness!

#17. CEILING-TO-FLOW TILE SHOWER

You may not have intended to use glossy gray tile in your shower, but after seeing this project, you may change your mind. All reflective surfaces have a special property of visually increasing space. Glossy neutral-coloured tiles have a double effect in this sense, also thanks to their light tint.

Solid wall tiling not only makes the bathroom appear larger, but also makes the ceiling appear higher. Matte silver plumbing details contrast perfectly with the gray tiles. If you happen to be the owner of a tile floor with a classic chamomile pattern, you will see how modern it will look with such a design solution. As always, bright white furniture and walls complete the bathroom look.

#18. GREAT FUNCTIONAL DESIGN FOR A SMALL BATHROOM

A truly functional, impressive solution. The room is really small, but it still looks stylish, while having all the necessary amenities for a bathroom. Bright white light and large white floor-to-ceiling tiles make the room look a bit bigger. The tile also performs a waterproofing function. The clear glass swing door also retains water while showering and stays open when the shower is over. This is an interesting project for small apartments.

18 fresh modern shower ideas
