8 Ways to Squeeze In an Elegant En Suite
Think you can’t tuck a wet room or bathroom into your bedroom? Try these big ideas for even the smallest spaces
It’s such a treat to be able to roll out of bed and step straight into your own private bathroom (especially if you have kids). Plus an en suite makes having guests to stay easier and, done well, can bump up the value of your home. So if you think you can’t fit one in, take another look. From sectioning off a corner to creating a stylish screen, be inspired by our ideas and start measuring now.
Rethink awkward corners
Ceiling heights can present a tricky design challenge or two, so make use of space where you can. If head height is restricted, it’s often an ideal spot to tuck a bath or one end of a shower cubicle – ideal for shelving – leaving the full height area free for a mirror and vanity unit.

Maximise your space
Make an en suite appear larger and more luxurious with clear glass walls. Choose tiles that tone with the bedroom walls to link the spaces, and mirrored surfaces to reflect the light.

Tuck in a tub
If you can’t fit in a full en suite, make a feature of a freestanding tub by giving it pride of place in your bedroom. Mounting the bath on a low plinth makes the bathing area distinct from the sleeping area, yet still part of the room.

Reflect on glass
Mirrors are not only essential in a washing and dressing area, they can help make the space feel larger and more luxurious, too. These eye-catching mirrored panels bounce light around the room, as well as neatly concealing the bathing area from view.

Use smart storage
When wall space is limited, think laterally about fitting everything in. Here, the partition wall between the bedroom and en suite has been made into a wardrobe. The fact that it doesn’t reach the ceiling helps both areas of the room remain as light as possible.

A wet room is a great small-space solution, and who could resist a drench under this beauty? Make sure the space is properly tanked (so it’s waterproof) and add a slim shelf to keep lotions and potions neatly off the floor.
