The ensuite is your private sanctuary. The place where you can escape to for some alone time, the place where you prep yourself for the day ahead, and the place that you go to unwind after a stressful day. If you’re building, designing or renovating your home, have a look at some of these luxury bathroom must-haves to make your master bathroom feel like a tranquil retreat.
Floating bath
If you have space, you can add a floating bath anywhere in your bathroom. Really take advantage of the room you’re working with - if you have large windows with a private and inviting view, place your floating bath centre stage, creating that spa-like experience in your very own bathroom. For a bathroom that’s a little more limited on space, you don’t have to sacrifice the luxurious bathtub - consider a floating bath that fits nicely against a wall.
Walk-In shower
If a floating bath doesn’t make your bathroom feel luxe, a walk-in shower certainly will. Walk-in showers are not only visually appealing, they’re also incredibly convenient. A walk-in shower doesn’t always mean you need a huge bathroom either, but if you do have the extra space, why not go all out and create a double walk-in shower. Much like a his & her sink, a double shower continues to give the sense of openness and space.
Seamless storage
A messy and cluttered bathroom does not create a luxurious, calm space for you to unwind at the end of a long day, so your storage options are really important. Choose your vanity storage carefully - this will be the main space to hide away all your items. Shelving is another great storage idea, but if you still want to keep that luxury vibe, organise your items into stylish boxes or baskets to showcase on the shelves.
Double vanity
An obvious choice in creating a luxury ensuite, the his & her sink should be an essential. Having your own space in your bathroom is like having your own side of the bed, and not only is a double vanity great for practical reasons, it’s also a good way to add some elegance and style to your master bathroom.
Luxury tiles
Tiles in your bathroom can make a world of difference. Picking the perfect tile isn’t just about your bathroom floor. The walk-in shower and double vanity you just installed will need luxurious tiles to complete the look. You can even consider tiling one wall floor-to-ceiling if your bathroom layout will allow.
Stylish fixtures
You’d be surprised at how much a matte black or brushed gold tap makes a difference in your overall bathroom look. While fixture trends can change all the time, pick something that fits your bathroom style and try to match it to the fixtures throughout the rest of your house.
Stand-out mirror
There are so many different options for bathrooms mirrors, whether it’s the shape, size or frame around it. Choose something that works nicely with your vanity and tiles - you can go bold and impressive, or simple and sophisticated, either way, your stand-out mirror is the perfect way to add luxe to your ensuite.
