Bringing beauty into the home through the powder room and ensuite offers the chance for bolder design choices as Aussies love adding a bit of pizzazz to these spaces.
These smaller wet rooms can be built with a touch of luxury and the latest gadgets whether Aussies are looking to impress their guests with a stylish powder room or to give their ensuite a private spa vibe.
“I love powder room and ensuite designs, they offer the chance to break away from the enduring style of your home and to install something left of field,” Beaumont Tiles product specialist Michelle Kearney says.
“For the powder room think brilliant wallpaper-inspired tiles, skylights and self-flushing toilets. For your ensuite imagine deep baths with curves, demisting mirrors and gilded finishes and you’ll have only scratched the surface of what’s possible.”
Getting the right style
Selecting the correct style is the crucial first step to creating an ensuite or powder room as it is the foundation for all your design elements from colour, patterns and texture selection.
Kearney says Beaumont Tiles’ What’s My Style quiz is a great place to start. The three-minute quiz takes your personality, likes and lifestyle and shows what the best style is for a project thanks to a personalised style book.
If unsure where to start, complete bathroom packages can be chosen which have been designed by reality TV stars and renowned interior designers like Shaynna Blaze.
Choosing among these packages will collate all the tiles and bathroomware needed so on ensuite can be enjoyed sooner.
Make a bold impression with eye-catching tiles
Powder rooms and ensuites are rooms where you can go a little more daring in your design choices, particularly when selecting tiles that can make the space leave a unique impression.
“Have a bit of fun with these spaces. In the ensuite go for an expressive floral feature wall with a tile like Banksia Ochre Matt and add in a few pot plants to bring those soothing biophilic vibes," Michelle says.
“For the powder room, you could select a bold, white marble emulation instead with a tile like Verona Sevilla White coupled with navy blue walls and a skylight above for a bit of extra light.
Michelle reminds us that these are spaces where you can let go with your designs and that tiles are a great place to begin when aiming for the 'wow factor' in a bathroom reno.
Go smart with bathroomware
Bathroomware technology has advanced a long way leading to more lux options that make your renovation more liveable and enjoyable.
Michelle says with a variety of choices for an ensuite or powder room, additions like smart mirrors, sensor tapware and automatic lights can give these spaces a lift.
“The addition of a smart toilet to your powder room is sure to make an impact with your guests. These auto flushing systems, with warm seats and night lights are pure luxury. Wonderfully comfortable and hygienic, they are the next step in affordable luxury,” she says.
“Shaynna Blaze would point out that having plenty of storage in every bathroom is a smarter way to go. Her Sutherland House range of vanities provides plenty of storage space while celebrating the luxury of the deco farmhouse.”
