Renovation ideas for your ensuite bathroom
From designing with colour to adding decadent texture, and turning small spaces into alluring sanctuaries.

AI summary
Considering an ensuite renovation? Open plan layouts are favoured to maximise space, using colour and texture to define zones. For a luxurious retreat, consider adding a freestanding bath or a double shower.
Even small ensuites can feel larger and more personal by using bold colour and texture.
In New Zealand, costs range from approximately $20,000 for a basic upgrade with existing plumbing to $60,000+ for a new, high-end build, so consult a professional for accurate pricing.
