Interior design tips for enhancing ensuite bathrooms

Designers and lifestyle experts suggest several ways to enhance ensuite bathrooms through high-quality accessories and thoughtful layout choices.

To improve the ambiance of an ensuite, luxury brands such as Yves Delorme offer premium cotton towels and bathrobes, including collections from Ralph Lauren Home and BOSS Home. Cultiver, a Sydney-based brand, provides textured linens woven in Europe, while The White Company offers minimalistic, hotel-style white towels to create a spa-like atmosphere.

Regarding walk-in shower design, interior designer Laura Stephens advises against treating the space as purely functional. She notes that defaulting to white tiles and matching fixtures can result in a cold, clinical feel. Instead, designers recommend incorporating color, pattern, and texture—such as patterned tiles or painted paneling—to add personality and prevent the space from feeling uninviting.
