3 Colors Designers Would Never Pick for Your Bedroom's Ensuite Bathroom Because They Don't Set the Right Tone — and What to Choose Instead

A minimalist stone bathroom, a shower space, a bath tub, and sheer window treatments.

Moving to a home with an ensuite is the ultimate level-up. It may not seem like much, but the privacy of having a bathroom to call your own is a luxury that cannot be beaten, and once you have one, you'll never want to be without one again. It's a room that deserves care and attention in its design, and that all starts with the color you paint it.

Of course, the sanitaryware and materials you use in your ensuite bathroom will all play a part in building the vibe of the room, but nothing sets the tone quite like the color you put on the walls. It's the background and foundation for the rest of the design, and if you get it wrong, it will be hard to work your way back. The color you choose for your ensuite should be indicative of the atmosphere you'd like to create in there — it needs to be relaxing, a calming refuge to return to at the end of the day, where you can cleanse yourself of the stresses of the outside world, as well as an energizing beginning, setting the tone for the rest of your day each morning.
