Ensuite Bathroom Ideas: Big Ideas for Small Spaces

An ensuite bathroom is your private sanctuary, making it the perfect place to let your creativity run wild. Even if your bathroom is on the smaller side, it can still be transformed into one of the most stylish rooms in the home. 


At exact kitchens and bathrooms, Wokingham, our design expertise and wide range of product styles to choose from allow us to make even a small space feel bright, modern and clean. With clever design ideas and storage solutions, we are able to inspire and design your next spa-like sanctuary. 


Here are some solutions to make any size ensuite feel larger and more luxurious:

Use Mirrors to Open up the Space


You’ll be surprised how a mirror can give any bathroom the illusion of being much bigger by bouncing natural light around the room. Bluetooth LED smart mirrors are a very popular addition to any bathroom, with some designs even able to play music, perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere for a bath.

Lighting


LED spotlights or flat lighting options for ceilings and walls brighten up the room as well as reduce the space taken up by hanging lights. Light placement should be considered, as well as the ability to turn different lights on around the room e.g around the mirror, or in the shower, to create a calming or romantic atmosphere.

Storage Space


Good bathroom storage ideas are essential for making your ensuite both practical and relaxing. Wall hung storage can make a small ensuite feel larger by making more floor space visible. For extra storage, you could also consider a concealed push-to-open built-in wall unit that offers a hidden space to store bathroom bottles. 

Walk-in Shower


A walk-in shower can create a barely-there look, adding elegance to a bathroom and further helping to create the illusion of space.

Add a Shower Niche


Not only does adding a niche in your shower look sleek and modern, but it is also a creative way to prevent clutter, keeping your bathroom items organised. A niche can also be a focal point of the bathroom, and by adding LED lighting to the niche, a calm atmosphere can be created, eliminating the need for always having the overhead lights on when showering or bathing. 

Don’t Forget to Add Your Personality


An ensuite bathroom is an ideal room to really make your own. This might be through adding unique design features or decorative elements and plants. Set the tone for your bathroom by selecting from our extensive range of colours and textures, and personalise your space to really make it your own.
