6 Tips For Designing A Stylish Ensuite Bathroom

There are so many elements to designing a stylish ensuite bathroom. It’s not just about deciding where to put your shower and what kind of tiles you want. You need to be able to see the finished result before you start, otherwise you may well end up with a bathroom that looks eclectic rather than stylishly defined. Here are our 6 tips for designing a stylish ensuite bathroom.

 

6 Tips For Designing A Stylish Ensuite Bathroom

 

1. Colours

There is no doubt that the colours you choose for your ensuite bathroom will have a huge impact on the look and feel. If you want to design a stylish ensuite, keep it simple when it comes to colours.

Going with a monochrome look will create a feeling of space and cohesion, giving the bathroom a sleek finish.

If using colour, use it throughout key elements of the bathroom to ensure it all ties together. Alternatively, use a single fixture to add a splash of colour or accessorise with colour, for example with a framed mirror, towels or vanity unit.

 

2. Layout

The layout to any bathroom is crucial. To keep your ensuite feeling stylish, make sure the room flows well and space is used effectively.

Also don’t forget to incorporate clever storage. Drawers are becoming much more popular than traditional cupboards and are also much easier to access.

 

3. Tiles

Tiling choices are seemingly endless but can make or break your bathroom. Many bathrooms across Australia just have tiling on the floor, in the shower and around vanity units, but to create a really stylish ensuite bathroom, consider floor to ceiling tiles.

By using the same tiles for the floor and the walls, you’ll carry the look throughout the room and make your ensuite appear bigger – which is handy when you have a small bathroom.

 

4. Lighting

Don’t opt for bog standard lights in your ensuite – if you want a really stylish bathroom, find an unsual light fitting that is not only functional but looks beautiful as well. You could find light fittings that will blend into the bathroom seamlessly. Alternatively, if you want it to make it a feature, choose lighting that stands out.

Want a Hollywood feel? Add lighting around your mirror. Going for a vintage look? Source vintage decanter bottle light fittings or an old French style chandelier. Want a splash of colour? Find a coloured light fitting to draw your attention to the ceiling.

 

5. Accessories

Once your bathroom is complete, use accessories to bring your ensuite to life. Soap and toothbrush holders, towels, bins and baskets can all add colour and texture to your new bathroom. You could even add some art to make the space not just functional but beautiful as well.

6 Tips For Designing A Stylish Ensuite Bathroom

What’s Your Current Home Style?

Your bathroom should match your overall home style.

It would be odd to create an ultra-modern bathroom in a country home with vintage styling.

However, it’s not a room you want to be renovating just because your décor has changed, so think about whether you’ll be updating the rest of your home to a different style in the near future too.

If you’re going to be renovating and redecorating your home soon, tie in your new bathroom style with your plans for the rest of the home.

Who’ll Be Using The Bathroom?

Another big consideration is who will be using the bathroom, now and in the foreseeable future.

Will it be used just for you and your partner?

Does it need to be a family bathroom that the whole house can use?

Do you have any elderly people in your home and therefore have to consider their needs as they age as well?

Who uses the bathroom can very much affect the style of bathroom you choose.

How Much Space Do You Have?

We’d all love a bathroom that easily accommodates everything we want in it, but sometimes we’re restricted by the space available.

Look at how much space you have available, and work out what you can physically fit in the bathroom. You might want a shower and a separate bath, but it might not be possible to do.

A good bathroom renovation specialist will do their best to build in clever features and storage to help you pack as much into your bathroom as possible without making it feel overcrowded.

What’s Your Bathroom Renovation Budget?

As much as you’d like to splash the cash and only have the best of the best for your bathroom renovation, it’s good to have a budget in mind that works for you.

Our bathroom renovations team in Perth can help you design and estimate the cost of your bathroom renovation so there are no nasty shocks along the way.

What Can’t You Live Without?

Think about the elements you can’t live without while planning your bathroom renovation.

Are twin sinks non-negotiable? Could you live without a bath if it meant more room for a larger shower?

Make a list of your must haves and nice to haves before you start getting bathroom renovation quotes.

What Bathroom Style To Choose

Classic Bathroom

A classic bathroom style is ideal if you don’t want to update your bathroom again for a while. Use one or two colours, with no bold patterns that could date easily.

Go for formal yet elegant fixtures and fittings, nothing overly dramatic or bold.

 

Modern Bathroom

Modern bathrooms use sleek materials like glass, stone, and stainless steel.

Avoid clutter, keep accessories to a minimum and keep lines clean.

Modern bathrooms often use bold patterns or colours – see what’s on trend in bathrooms and take your inspiration from that.

 

Shabby Chic Bathroom

Shabby chic is still a popular bathroom style. You can mix and match different elements and then use a single colour to link all your elements together.

It exudes a comfy lived-in look, so shop around at second-hand stores and markets for interesting pieces to add to your bathroom.

 

Country Bathroom

Country style bathrooms are ideal for rural properties. Using light wood for some of the key pieces in your bathroom like vanities and towel rails, you can really bring your country look to life.

If using fabrics, go for striped, floral or plaid patterns.

Bring some personal touches to the bathroom with vintage accessories or furniture like high-backed chairs and freestanding tables for your sinks.
