Design Inspo – Make Your Ensuite Bathroom More Luxurious

Design Inspo – Make Your Ensuite Bathroom More Luxurious

11th Sep 2025



Is your ensuite bathroom just a boring water closet? It’s time to step into 2025 design trends, where a bathroom is a thing of beauty and a space for relaxation and rejuvenation. We’ll look at various décor tips suitable for a range of budgets, but all with the same goal of boosting the aesthetic appeal and/or convenience of your ensuite bathroom.


 

1. Create visual continuity between the bathroom and bedroom.

 

One way to make both the bathroom area and the sleeping space feel larger is to visually join them. There are a few ways to approach this:

  • Replace the door between the two areas with a clear rolling door like the ones often used on shower enclosures.
  • Remove the door, making an open entrance to the ensuite bathroom.
  • If the wall between the bedroom and bathroom is not load-bearing, you could have it removed to create on large open concept space. In this case, many homeowners add an obscure glass screen attached to the wall with clamps to create privacy around the commode.
  • Alternatively, you can remove the existing wall and door and replace it with a clear glass partition to keep the spaces separate while achieving visual continuity between them.

 

2. Add luxury with satin brass hardware.

 

Regardless of whether you decide to visually join the two spaces, you want the interior of the bathroom to look amazing both when inside and when viewed through the doorway. One way to quickly elevate the space is by replacing some or all of the hardware with new items in satin brass. Since this finish is in the gold family, it brings with it a touch of opulence. The effect is amplified if you choose a piece with lots of character, such as this beautiful ladder handle.

 

3. Integrate self-care elements.

 

As you optimize the aesthetics of the ensuite bathroom, you also want to boost its usefulness and functionality. Many homeowners are “bringing home” wellness and self-care installations that were once only found at the spa or gym. Possibilities include:

  • cold plunges
  • saunas
  • massage chairs
  • aromatherapy shower head kit

 

4. Treat yourself to some luxury upgrades.

 

In this same vein, there are changes large and small that can increase the comfort and luxury of your ensuite bathroom. Consider adding one or more of the following:

  • heated floor
  • heated towel rack
  • fireplace
  • spa-quality towels and washcloths
  • all natural health and hygiene products

 

5. Replace the shower curtain with glass.

 

If you can only make one change to your ensuite bathroom, replacing a shower curtain with glass will make a huge impact. Also, you usually don’t have to gut the space or tear out your existing built-in tub in order to enjoy a custom shower enclosure. For example, these enclosures can be installed on either a tub or a shower-only stall.

  • Hinged door beside a fixed glass panel
  • Two swinging doors (French doors)
  • Frameless rolling door system
  • Splash panel

Besides being visually appealing, clear shower glass will also make your ensuite bathroom look and feel larger.
