5 Benefits of Working with a Design Consultant

Remodeling requires a serious commitment, not only to time, but to your budget and the project itself. Homeowners tend to put off bathroom remodels more than any other room. That’s not due to a lack of need—in fact, most Re-Bath customers tell us their own bathroom remodel is way overdue—but because they believe the kitchen and family room suffer more wear and tear and are seen more frequently by…

Excellence In Ensuite Bathroom Ideas

Stellar Ensuite Design Options To Upgrade Any Home

Ensuite bathrooms typically represent a much used, private haven within a home. And as such, they should be moulded into an image reflective of the homeowner’s personal taste and requirements.

Typically compact, ensuite bathrooms provide a perfect area in which to express some creative license as it pertains to interior design, and implement whatever sort of aesthetic takes your fancy – no matter how outlandish it might be.

In this blog, we’ll discuss some stellar ensuite bathroom ideas that can help transform your ensuite into one of the most stylish rooms in the entire home, in spite of a likely diminutive size.

From a variety of colour options to storage hacks, fixtures, fittings and layout recommendations, we’re brimming with suggestions to enhance ensuite bathroom suites to the fullest extent…

Ensuite Bathroom Layout Ideas

The very first thing to consider when plotting your ensuite bathroom ideas is the actual layout of the space, accounting for helpful storage hacks and basic thoughts on the way the room will be styled.

You’ll need to think about which fixtures and bathroom furniture you deem as essential inclusions. For instance, it is highly unlikely that a typical ensuite bathroom size will be able to accommodate a freestanding bathtub. So you might instead have your heart set on a corner shower cubicle.

Door projections inwards and outwards, and how they will impact on essential surrounding fittings such as the toilet or sink are also key elements to keep in mind. Perhaps wall hung toilets or short projection models should be sourced in especially compact ensuite areas.

And see if there’s any way to maximize space by capitalising on unique storage solutions – negating the presence of a bathroom cabinet to fit shelving in a small alcove could be one such stylish, easily implementable means for doing so. Or seek out further inspiration in our blog, 12 Bathroom Storage Ideas For Small Spaces.

Ensuite Bathroom Colour Ideas

Again, the colour scheme of an ensuite bathroom should ultimately line up in accordance with personal preferences. But it would be remiss of us not to mention the general uplift the presence of bright, light tones can bring to the space in general.

Darker or harsher, bolder shades and striking patterns don’t tend to work so well in small ensuite bathrooms especially. So unless you’re decorating a particularly large ensuite room, it is recommended that these types of hues are restricted to the flooring only, if used at all.

Pastel tones and creamy colours are superb interior colour options to really open up the space, especially for an ensuite bathroom in which the infiltration of natural light is at a premium. These sort of shades will reflect any incoming light extremely well.

Whatever colour décor you do opt for, it is imperative to team similar tones together in most ensuite bathroom interiors. Sharp colour contrasts can draw the walls in and make the room appear cluttered, as opposed to the light and airy feel provided by bright, consistent colour combinations.

Furthermore, calmer hues are more likely to better complement the main features of the ensuite, unless black bathroom accessories and other darker fixtures dominate the space.

Best Bathroom Furniture Picks For Ensuite Bathrooms

It’s been alluded to earlier in the blog, but the role that wall mounted bathroom furniture can play in maximizing space in a bathroom ensuite cannot be underestimated.

The likes of wall hung bathroom vanities are a particularly excellent ensuite vice, teaming impressive aesthetics with immense functionality – a basin meshes seamlessly with effective bathroom storage in one streamlined component.

What’s more, the finish of so many of these type of units will serve to complement the overall interior scheme of an ensuite bathroom. Light oaks, subtle anthracites and glossy whites all prominently feature within a multitude of cloakroom vanity unit ranges.

Outside of main furniture stylings like vanities, toilets and basins, other less essential elements can prove a crucial factor in implementing stylish ensuite bathroom ideas successfully.

Think items such as bathroom mirrors and even smaller, accentuating bathroom accessories (more later) that can deliver a subtle enhancement to the overall ensuite scheme. Chrome accessories are pretty much a failsafe option, and their reflective finish can combine well with light and airy colour themes in modern and traditional ensuite bathrooms alike.

Whatever you do select, it’s again crucial to keep the harmony in terms of your overall colour scheme and surrounding fixtures and fittings, rather than introducing harsh contrast tones.

Get Wise To Accessorize An Ensuite Bathroom

After briefly touching on the importance accessories can play in an ensuite bathroom, we can explain in a little more detail why they can represent such a vital element, even in comparison with dominant and more sizeable fittings.

For such a typically restricted space especially, less can indeed be more, and the minute details can actually catch the eye more than larger components.

Plus, that creative license we initially harped on about can perhaps be exercised to a greater extent with accentuating items, rather than with bigger, more obvious defining fixtures. Even the likes of toilet roll holders can make a huge difference, as explained in greater detail in our blog, How To Choose The Right Toilet Roll Holder.

As well as items such as these and accompanying bathroom essentials like toothbrush holders and soap dishes meanwhile, other items can add subtle style to the space, even if they aren’t necessarily ‘household’ bathroom additions.

Bathroom plants housed in snazzy vases, flower arrangements and candles all offer an excellent means to make an ensuite bathroom feel a lot more homely, for instance. They’ll especially serve to upgrade ensuites with a classic, rustic vibe, and those that lean into cottagecore design elements.

And the complementary features of key fittings cannot be dismissed either. Think taps and toilet seats as they pertain to the basin or toilet you have installed, or are planning to fit within an ensuite bathroom.

Crucially, as aforementioned, less is more, so be sure not to overdo it in terms of introducing accessories. You want to retain a spacious, airy feel to the room (even if space is at a premium) as opposed to making the area appear cluttered or too busy.

Project Profile: The JW Marriott Charlotte

Nestled in the dynamic uptown neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina, the new luxurious JW Marriott hotel designed by HKS Architects is a retreat for guests who want to enjoy the southern city’s urban surroundings. Grounded in regal craftsmanship inspired by Queen Charlotte, the city’s namesake, each guest room features upscale amenities and a luxurious bathroom.

To successfully bring the hotel in Charlotte’s booming corridor to life, one challenge the building team faced was reducing laydown on the tight urban site. Recognizing the repetitive nature of all 335 bathrooms in the hotel made them a candidate for off-site prefabrication, DPR Construction proposed utilizing SurePods bathroom pods.

In hospitality construction, bathrooms generate the majority of punch list issues and require complex coordination. General contractors have to sequence 10 construction trades – including electrical, plumbing and finishing work ranging from painting to mirror hanging – all working in an area of about 50 to 100 square feet. With many trades coming and going in a confined area, there’s substantial risk of damage to previously completed work. DPR was able to sideline these issues by working with SurePods. Concurrent construction enabled the team to build in a controlled warehouse environment and reduced the need for onsite skilled labor, designed laydown and staging areas.

Given that the hotel is situated on a crowded busy inner-city street and bordered on two sides by other active construction sites, the prefab approach also helped reduce coordination issues and site challenges. With just-in-time deliveries, SurePods was able to quickly supply bathroom pods and minimize traffic disruptions, in addition to maintaining a safe environment in the largely pedestrian-friendly community.

According to hospitality industry magazine, Hotel Management, the project team was able to prefabricate all customized bathroom pods complete with finishes in accordance with hotel design features and then load them level by level into the 23-story building— all over a period of just 13 weeks. The pod deliveries occurred at night. In a project overview, DPR explained their “team self-performed the loading of the pods into the building and often exceeded production targets.”

As the North American leader of factory-built bathroom pods, SurePods loves to support commercial projects in the hospitality market. Since 2005, we’ve been crafting modular bathroom units and supplying them across the country. If you’re interested in partnering with us, the longest producing pod company in the nation, reach out.

Prefabricated Building Keeps Trending Up, Anticipated to Enhance the North American Market

This year prefabrication is sweeping the construction industry by storm. With no signs of slowing down anytime soon, the latest report by IMARC Group notes the North America modular construction market is expected to see substantial growth over the next five years.

The report found that much of this growth can be attributed to market-shaping factors such as labor shortages, issues with traditional construction quality and low predictability. To combat these concerns and bring time and cost savings to commercial facilities, more developers and GCs are shifting towards prefabricated building’s automated technology and offsite construction advantages. The prefab approach allows for concurrent building, reduces the number of workers onsite, drives dimensional accuracy and increases quality control, thereby minimizing the effects of unstable market conditions.

The dynamic growth of modular building has also led to a surge within the market for prefabricated bathroom pods. In fact, Valuates Reports recently revealed, “the global Prefabricated Bathroom Pods market is valued at USD 1.41 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 2.95 billion by the end of 2027, growing at a CAGR of 10.53% between 2021 and 2027.

Some of the key drivers behind the growth of prefabricated bathroom pods cited in the report include:

A streamlined construction process that allows project developers to save time and money while maintaining high-quality bathroom productsOffsite production enabling crews to prepare the site while pods are fabricated in a factory at the same timeThe ability to minimize rework with the elimination of bathroom punch listsSingle-source procurement for an easier design process Factory-controlled construction environments help to mitigate the effects of weather delays

At SurePods, we’re eager to see these trends continue to influence the historically slow-changing construction industry. With more projects integrating modular methods, our prefabricated bathroom pods are helping to redefine building by accelerating schedules, improving quality and simplifying the construction process to increase jobsite safety.
