En Suite Bathrooms

En suite bathrooms used to be considered an absolute luxury, but they are now almost taken for granted in modern homes, as a standard feature attached to the primary bedroom. Here at Bella Bathrooms we stock a good range of packages that will suit a variety of different small bathroom spaces. Whether you want to update your old ensuite or you are adding one to your existing home, our deals offer fantastic value.

What Is An Ensuite Bathroom?

An En Suite is a bathroom or shower room that adjoins a bedroom that can only be accessed through the bedroom. They get their name from the French term for 'then' or 'next' due to the harmonious transition from bedroom to private bathroom. Usually consisting of a toilet, basin, and shower cubicle, you can create your own personal space to carry out your morning or bedtime routine, separate from the busy main family bathroom. Ensuite shower enclosures are usually compact, with popular sizes being 760mm, 800mm or 900mm square, or a small quadrant. This ensures they can take their place in the corner, blending into the room without taking up too much of the valuable floor space. For those of us who prefer a bath to a shower, we have compact baths that are perfect for soaking in, in your own exclusive space. However, having an en suite bathroom as the only bathroom in the home can be a turn off for some buyers due to privacy concerns.

Which Is Correct, Ensuite, En-Suite Or En Suite?

The correct spelling is En Suite but Ensuite and En-suite, pronounced 'on sweet,' are also regularly used and all mean the same thing, a bathroom that is entered through a bedroom. A guestroom with an ensuite would allow any overnight visitors to have access to their own space and privacy. No more having to walk along a dark hallway through the night to use the loo and disturb the rest of the household.

En Suite Bathroom Packages.

Our space-saving ensuite packages usually consist of a basin with pedestal, a close coupled toilet, shower tray and shower enclosure, but of course, you can buy these items separately to customise your own ensuite room if you prefer a basin with a vanity unit or a back to wall toilet with a WC unit. Our ensuite packages for a WC, sink, shower enclosure, and tray start from around £420, enabling you to have the convenience and privacy that you can't get in a shared bathroom, in your own personal space, even if you have a budget.

Can An Ensuite Be Just A Toilet?

An ensuite can be just a toilet and basin because you'd need somewhere to wash your hands if you don't have space for a shower. This would still add that extra level of convenience to your home and help with the morning bathroom rush. For those of us who have smaller homes, corner toilets, basins and vanity units are available. These work the same as their standard counterparts but are situated in a corner, so don't take up as much of your floor space. Whether you have a large or small ensuite, a stylish toilet is a must have item.

Ensuite Showers

Having your own personal shower room would benefit the whole family. Whether it's for a teenager who spends hours in the bathroom or parents who want a relaxing shower without interruption after a long day at work, or a hard day running around after children, there'll be no more fighting about who gets to use the bathroom first. Have the same experience in your own home as you would get in a luxurious hotel. Whether you prefer a minimalist modern look or a classic traditional style, there is an ensuite bathroom package to suit your needs and requirements. The right furniture, accessories and lighting can create a beautiful and functional space.  

Benefits of En-Suite Bathrooms

With an en suite bathroom, you can enjoy your personal oasis away from the rest of the house, perfect for self-care. They can be a great way to shut off from the world after a busy day, creating a peaceful sanctuary for unwinding. Having this privacy and sole access to your expensive toiletries and skincare products can be a game changer in busy family households. You can get up to use the loo or get a drink of water in the middle of the night without awkward bathroom encounters or disturbing the rest of the family. Another benefit is the increased value they add to your home. Often considered a luxury, they are a much sought after feature among potential property buyers.  

Get Your Own Bathroom Ensuite

Installing an en suite bathroom requires careful planning. Things you need to think about are:

• Planning: Plan your ensuite bathroom project carefully, taking into account the space availability and desired outcome. Whether you want a standard small toilet or comfort height pan, a basin with a pedestal, wall hung or on a vanity unit. Short projection or wall-hung toilets are perfect for ensuites where floor space is limited. Think about storage space, how much you need and how you can maximise the space to achieve it. Importantly, ensure you have access to a water supply, waste pipes and ventilation.
• Design: Matching the colour scheme and decor with the bedroom will create a seamless step from bedroom to bathroom. Having the rooms decorated similarly but not exactly the same will create a coordinated look but still let the room's individuality shine through. An ensuite attached to the master bedroom is often seen as a child-free zone, free from clutter and bath toys. Take advantage of the opportunity to have your own adults only space and let your imagination run wild with the decor.  
• Hire a Professional: Consider hiring a professional plumber or bathroom fitter to ensure a high-quality installation. Fitting items correctly and according to the manufacturer's fitting instructions is vital to guarantee the reliability and longevity of the products and maintain the manufacturer's warranty.
• Taps and Accessories: No bathroom is complete without coordinating taps, waste, towel rails etc. These small items can really put the finishing touches to your room. Illuminated mirrors add to the atmosphere and reflect light around the room.
