This is another small space with a big, bold personality! Layout-wise, the pedestal tub and toilet are efficiently positioned to allow room for a double-drawer vanity and a contemporary counter-top basin. The colour palette is warm and inviting - deep, chocolate browns and sumptuous metallics create a cosy haven for relaxation, but the layout is also thoughtfully designed to make the most of natural light that reflects beautifully off each gilt-edged surface. And the choice of design elements is divine with an old-world charm - from the shiny, roughly-hewn subway tiles and retro-inspired fixtures to the brass Victorian-style tap ware and marble-look vanity and bath edges. It’s a clever feature that proves this often purely functional room can also be used as a storage area (for almost anything!) as well.Īgain, a cost-saving ensuite layout with side-by-side plumbing installed in the “shub” and vanity. And we love the open shelving with its menagerie of bottled delights.

It’s a whimsical design full of personality from the sprightly floral wallpaper and polished timber flooring to the brass tap ware and Victorian-style exposed metal pipework under the vanity. The vertical layout of this “powder room” (a term referring to a smaller room without a shower or bath), creates clean lines and enhances the space, as does its white subway tiles. The addition of crisp white towels and an organic-looking basket make it a “relieving” spot that is pure class.

Thanks to the contrasting tiled splashback and wood wall panelling, the two areas feel very separate and create a sense of distance. This room has clearly defined “zones”, which can make smaller spaces feel more generous. Side-by-side, the toilet and basin are similar in design as is the mirror and slant-y ceiling feature. Probably because this property owner has another adjoining room that is just as stunning. Not a bathroom for a big household, but nonetheless, somewhere to enjoy a long, hot shower and an end-of-night teeth-brushing session. The timber-look cabinetry is also on-trend (very Scandy). Tap ware, the “beehive” tiled floor, sink and “floating” toilet all give it a contemporary twist as does the matte black tap ware. It is also compact, functional and minimalist. But it does have its advantages in terms of its three-in-a-row cost-saving plumbing design. Some would refer to this layout as the “hotel special”, as space-wise, it is the type of ensuite you’d find in a smaller hotel. The mosaic floor tiling, the walk-in shower with its feature screen and subway tiles, super-cute in-shower bench and splashes of greenery complete the personality of this bathroom as a sumptuous yet edgy oasis for pampering. The colour palette is simple - black and white predominantly with warm accents in the shelving and brass-look tapware. Design-wise, it is simple and efficient and an ideal layout for a single or small household or a guest bathroom. This is a classic “three-in-a-row” ensuite layout – meaning the plumbing components (the shower, toilet and vanity) are all on the one wall, so construction costs would have been reduced. Hand-washing would be pure joy in this household. Oh, and we can’t forget that golden, light-splashed basin. The use of lighting in this windowless bathroom also enhances its size. The toilet is positioned discreetly and blends seamlessly into the dark tiling, and the shower an amply sized feature. Layout-wise, it has the luxury of space, but is still a clever design. Marbled accents, antiquities placed on the above-toilet and feature shelving, and the addition of the gold-edged mirror … pure decadence. Ok, so this ensuite design and colour palette won’t suit everyone, but it certainly exudes an oriental-style personality. Twin sinks also mean multiple occupants can be in the room at the same time, which is a great option for families at bath time! This can be seen with the “shub” (shower/tub combination) and the fact that the toilet has been allocated elsewhere. In terms of layout, there is ample space, although they’ve used it efficiently. And that vanity! Shaker-style cabinetry and a marble-look top add a luxurious edge.

However, pops of colour on the splash back and tiling and the timber accents on the textured glass windows keep it from looking too bland.
