Consider these for Your New Home
Check with anyone looking to buy or build a home and you’ll usually find one of their must-have features is a master bedroom ensuite. Master bedroom ensuites play a critical part in the home; therefore, it’s important to get the planning and design of the bathroom just right. Here are some things you might want to consider for your “dream” master ensuite, that may or may not become someone else’s down the road.
Connection Between Bedroom and Bathroom
One of the common elements of master bedrooms and ensuites is that space is at a premium.
While every environment is different, the two areas must complement each other while also providing the basic needs of both a bathroom and a bedroom. A good way of achieving this is by selecting similar materials and colours. This essentially unifies and integrates both spaces – creating a visual flow that appeals to the eye.
In this master and ensuite renovation, you can clearly see the cohesive design. You also quickly notice how luxurious they wanted this ensuite to feel, with all of the special design touches.
Personalize Your Space
Personalize your master bedroom ensuite by adding a special tile, wether its a pop of colour or a unique shape. One of the simplest ways to do this is with your tile selection.
Custom mosaics are a fun decorative feature that can make a big impact in a ensuite bathroom, and you don’t have to commit to a full wall as this bathroom renovation shows.
Reduced Noise
For all the benefits of ensuites, they can be quite a loud environment – showers, toilets and fans, for example. However, these disturbances can be mitigated if the design of the ensuite is right in the first place.
For example, the placement of a shower in the far corner of a bathroom, or perhaps making the toilet less noisy by placing it behind a frosted glass wall. You can see a bit of how that would look, in the corner of these photos from two of our projects.
To reduce noise from the ensuite, you could also consider soundproofing the walls. In the case of an open plan bathroom, it might be a good idea to have features, like a vanity cabinet, that stand between the two spaces, blocking any noise.
Versatile Lighting
Lighting emitting from an ensuite can also cause sleep problems. The key in this situation is to introduce versatile lighting solutions, such as subtle courtesy and task lighting, that allow one party to sleep peacefully in bed while the other completes tasks in the bathroom.
Ground level sensor lighting is also popular because it provides just enough light to see where you are going in the middle of the night. When considering ensuite features, this might be one sit down and talk out with your partner and designer.
Practical But Pleasurable
Homeowners are looking to ensuite bathrooms for pleasurable experiences, for de-stressing and detoxing, and spending more time.
The bath in master bathrooms, for instance, is used a lot more than in the main household bathroom.
But as well as pleasure, they want a design that incorporates easy to clean features, such as a large open shower with frameless shower screen, and large format tiles with fewer grout lines like in this bathroom renovation.
With master bedroom ensuites you want to ensure that the final look is both practical and stylish. The beautiful tub design here, with the corner window is so timeless. Especially paired with the sleek custom vanity.
A cohesive design that ticks all the boxes for your present needs and for potential homebuyers in the future.
