Powder Rooms, Luxury Ensuites ‘On Trend’

Multiple bathrooms in family homes have ceased to be a luxury. On trend right now is the addition of a powder room, while ensuites are becoming spa-like spaces.

General consensus is that every home deserves a powder room: it’s an affordable amenity that protects your privacy and the hygiene of your more intimate wet areas. In busy households, it also avoids the embarrassment of queuing for a berth in a bathroom.

Adds Value To Your Home

If you don’t already have a powder room, consider adding one. A basin and toilet are all that’s needed, although a vanity and a mirrored cabinet make it much more functional.

An added advantage is that bathroom additions and renovations always punch well above their weight when it comes to adding value to a home.

Every bathroom has the capacity to set a mood. A tired old bathroom can be depressing, and a tiny, cramped ensuite off the master bedroom can be an irritation.

Stylish Ensuite Sanctuary

West Australians have discovered the value of transforming a small ensuite into a stylish sanctuary.

They are prepared to ‘steal’ space from the main bedroom, or areas near it, to make room for a tub, a larger shower area, a more generous sized vanity which can take twin basins, and a toilet.

An ensuite, also known as the master bathroom, is heavily used daily, so spending money on higher-end furniture and materials is justified. Aesthetics are important in order to achieve an appealing room that the owner will enjoy – for many years.

Write A Wish List

If you are planning to renovate your ensuite, write a wish list. Do you want a stand-alone tub; toilet pan; twin-basin vanity; a separate shower; and adequate storage? If it a ‘yes’ to all of these, the space you will need is about nine square metres. The advantage is that two people will be able to use the room at the same time.

A free no-obligation consultation with award-winning Perth-based company, Smart Style Bathrooms will give you an opportunity to go over your plans with an interior designer.

After fine tuning the details, the interior designer will show you a 3D render of the finished bathroom  and provide you with a quote. If you take matters further, a fixed price contract with no hidden costs will be drawn up.
