There’s nothing quite like the convenience of flopping out of bed and straight into your very own ensuite bathroom. Or, taking long and relaxing late-night bubble baths right alongside your bed. Modern ensuite bathrooms are becoming more and more integrated with the bedroom space, whether by free-flowing open plan arrangements, wide arched doorways, or via glass wall designs. This special selection of 40 ensuite bathrooms shows you how to style fabulous ensuite bathroom spaces that you’ll love looking at from under your duvet. From extraordinary rustic and rock-lined interiors to modern sleek marble marvels, both luxuriously large and cosily compact, this inspiring collection has it all.
Well rounded design. Okay, so not everyone has a cylindrical mansion in the mountains but we had to include this spectacular ensuite as inspiration for unique bathroom picture windows. This rounded floor-to-ceiling vista makes a magnificent setting for dreamy bathtimes.
Back to nature. Bathing takes humans down to their natural form, so a nature kissed ensuite bathroom scheme seems especially fitting. Install a vertical garden to envelop your space with greenery. Stepping stones can form a garden-like pathway to the tub, whilst pebble-shaped rugs and poufs take the aesthetic into the bedroom area.
This round rug reflects the outline of a spectacular skylight. The ensuite bathroom tub nibbles at the edge of the woven mat, alongside a grouping of wicker planters.
Glass boxes and greenery. Generous ceiling heights can be enjoyed as a whole or split to suit. In this case, an open plan bedroom and glass ensuite bathroom volume has been formed below the ceiling line so that an indoor garden can be installed above.
Cut through it with colour. A huge bedroom suite can contain many areas, from the sleep space and a bedroom lounge to a reading nook and a workspace. An open plan ensuite bedroom can get lost in the mix, so why not make it stand out from the crowd with a show-stopping ruby red glass bathtub?
The headboard wall makes an ideal point at which to make the split between sleep space and ensuite bathroom. In this neoclassical example, decorative wainscotting flows between both spaces to maintain the aesthetic flow.
Modern and marble-clad. This white marble beauty is given a modern twist with a black tripod floor lamp instead of a typical bathtub chandelier.
Love spas? Love books? Combine the two to make your dream ensuite come true. The only problem we can see is that you may never want to leave your ensuite ever again! Theses stylish black accent chairs are the Barcelona Chair, originally designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich in 1929.
