Should your bathroom and ensuite match the rest of your house?

Here at NPM Bathrooms, we know that the bathroom and ensuite are often considered the most private and personal spaces within your home. However, should these areas match the overall style and design of the rest of your house? The answer, as with most things design-related, is that it depends on personal preference and the overall style of your home. So, let’s break down a few of the arguments for and against this idea.

Matching your bathroom and en-suite with the rest of your home

On one hand, having your bathroom and ensuite match the rest of your house can create a sense of harmony and cohesiveness throughout the home. This can be particularly beneficial in smaller homes, where a consistent style can make the space feel more spacious and less disjointed. It also makes your home look more polished and well-planned, which can be important if you ever decide to sell your property. And there’s no question that a quick and easy way of creating cohesion between your bathroom and the rest of your home is by matching up the paint schemes. If you use the same coloured paint in your bathroom as you have in your living room, you’ll have a delightfully cohesive home aesthetic in no time!

Differentiating your bathroom and en-suite from the rest of your home

On the other hand, some people prefer to use their bathroom and ensuite as a design playground, experimenting with different colours, patterns, and textures that they might not use in the rest of their house. This can be a fun way to express your creativity and add a touch of personality to your home. Plus, since these spaces are typically smaller and less frequently used than other areas of the house, they can be an excellent opportunity to go bold with your design choices without overwhelming the rest of your home.

Need some inspiration? Don’t be afraid to play around with different styles and materials to create a bold bathroom look. If you’re someone who enjoys a more muted, minimalist look in your living room, then a colourful, bold bathroom design will really pop and serve as a great conversation starter!

When it comes to deciding whether your bathroom and ensuite should match the rest of your house, we believe it’s important to consider the overall style of your home. If you have a traditional home design, for example, you may want to stick with a more timeless and elegant design for your bathroom and ensuite. On the other hand, if you have a modern or contemporary home, you might want to use these spaces to experiment with sleek, minimalist designs or bold pops of colour.

Ultimately, the decision about whether your bathroom and ensuite should match the rest of your house comes down to personal preference. However, if you’re unsure about which direction to take, you could always consider consulting with a professional bathroom designer who can help you make the right choice for your home and your unique style.
