How to Enhance Your Ensuite

Creating a well-designed bathroom extends far beyond fixture and tile selection. Though the foundational choices in the design are critical, the decisions you make while styling have the power to elevate your ensuite in a big way. In today’s post, we’re sharing five designer tips to help you enhance your ensuite!

ESTABLISH A FOCAL POINT

It is important to prioritize certain elements over others when designing any space in your home. In a bathroom, we recommend creating a focal point with a custom vanity complete with unique hardware, high-impact lighting, and sizeable mirrors. Mixing metals and choosing dynamic pieces will also create moments in your space that your eyes will instinctively be drawn towards.

ADORN YOUR WALLS

Fill your walls with pieces that resonate with you and consider playing with scale if you're looking to create a focal point with the artwork in your bathroom. Whether big or small, artwork is also a sure way to add visual interest to space using colour, contrast, texture, and/or pattern. The elements introduced through art will soften and bring warmth to finishes like metal and stone that are often used in bathrooms and can feel less welcoming and even harsh at times.

GET CAUGHT UP IN THE DETAILS

When creating a spa-like bathroom, it is important to think in layers. When decorating, combine layers of linens, soaps, and botanicals to achieve a serene and inviting space. Bringing an intentional and natural ambience to your bathroom design can be achieved by incorporating pieces that are soft to the touch, easy on the eyes, and thoughtfully arranged in groups to avoid clutter.

INCLUDE TEXTURAL DETAILS

Whether you're working on a small powder room or a spacious ensuite, don't forget about incorporating types of texture into your bathroom design. For those who want to fully commit to texture, consider bolder choices like textured tiles, reeded glass, or slatted wooden details. A more versatile avenue to pursue when incorporating texture is through textiles for runners, shower mats, towels, and shower curtains. These elements can bring depth to a design and make a big impact in even the smallest spaces.
