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 a popular choice to maximise space, using colour and texture to define different zones. For a more 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, renovation costs can range from $20,000 for a basic upgrade to over $60,000 for a new, high-end installation.
