Your ensuite bathroom is your personal sanctuary where you can relax and unwind. Its design should cater to your every whim and need. Creating the ensuite of your dreams involves carefully selecting elements that complement your aesthetic and lifestyle. Here’s a list of 21 sizzling options that will make your ensuite bathroom your favorite room of the house.

1 Freestanding Bathtub

A standalone bathtub, such as a clawfoot or modern soaking tub, can serve as a luxurious focal point in your ensuite bathroom. Check out our sister company’s selection of freestanding tubs.

2 Walk-In Shower

A spacious walk-in shower with frameless glass doors and multiple showerheads, including a rain showerhead, provides a spa-like experience.

3 Double Vanity

If space allows, opt for a double vanity with plenty of storage and countertop space. This feature is especially useful for couples or shared bathrooms.

4 Floating Vanities

Floating vanities create a sleek and modern look while making it easier to clean the floor underneath. A great choice for accessibility needs as well.

5 Tin Tile Accents

Add pattern, color, and a vintage vibe with tin tile in your ensuite. Put it on a wall, ceiling, or backsplash for a touch of unique and stylish ambiance.

6 Natural Materials

Incorporate natural materials like marble or granite countertops, stone or wood flooring, and wood accents to add warmth and elegance.

7 Underfloor Heating

Radiant underfloor heating keeps your feet warm on cold mornings and adds a touch of luxury to the space.

8 Smart Fixtures

Consider installing smart features like motion-activated faucets, voice-controlled lighting, and a smart mirror with integrated technology.

9 Custom Lighting

Use a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create the right mood. Chandeliers, pendant lights, and wall sconces are popular choices.

10 Unique Mirrors

Frameless mirrors add a minimalist and contemporary touch to the bathroom while making the space appear larger. Or go with an organic shaped mirror that gets away from traditional rectangular mirrors.

11 Statement Porcelain Tiles

Choose eye-catching, patterned, or textured tiles for the walls or flooring to create visual interest. Geometric patterns and subway tiles are timeless options.

12 Integrated Storage

Built-in niches, shelves, or cabinets provide storage space for toiletries and towels without cluttering the room. Include them in the shower, under the vanity, or a linen closet.

13 Dual-Flush Toilet

Opt for a dual-flush toilet for water conservation and eco-friendliness. For added luxury, include a bidet or washlet toilet seat.

14 Color Palette

Select a soothing color palette that promotes relaxation. Soft neutrals, muted blues, and earthy tones are popular choices.

15 Plants

Adding some greenery through indoor plants or succulents can breathe life into the bathroom and improve air quality.

16 Artwork and Décor

Hang artwork or incorporate decorative elements like decorative trays, scented candles, and stylish towels to personalize the space.

17 Accent Wall

Create a focal point by designing an accent wall with textured paint, wallpaper, or mosaic tiles. Even a bold paint color is enough to set apart an accent wall in the ensuite bathroom.

18 Bathroom Fireplace

If you have the space and budget, a small fireplace can add a cozy and luxurious ambiance. Check out our sister company’s selection of fireplaces for the ensuite.

19 Barn Door or Pocket Door

Use a barn door or pocket door to save space and add a trendy element to separate the ensuite from the bedroom.

20 Aromatherapy Features

Consider aromatherapy diffusers or built-in fragrance dispensers to create a relaxing atmosphere.

21 Glass Partition

If your ensuite is connected to the bedroom, use a glass partition or partition wall with a pass-through window to maintain privacy while allowing natural light to flow.


An ensuite bathroom design deserves special attention because it's a highly personal and functional space that can significantly impact your daily life and the value of your home. Adding a few (or many) of these elements will transform your ensuite into something you’ll look forward to using every day.
