An attached bathroom design is a boon if you want both convenience and privacy in your bedroom.
An attached bathroom design (~en suite) design) is one where the bathroom is connected to the main or master bedroom from the inside. The differences between an attached bathroom and a private bathroom are many:
Attached Bathroom
- It forms a part of the bedroom interiors.
- It is cheaper than a private bathroom or shared bathroom design.
- It is easier to clean and maintain than other bathroom designs.
- It shares a wall with the bedroom only and is easily accessible.
- It is used by a single guest or family member only.
Private Bathroom
- It does not form a part of the bedroom interiors.
- It is more costly than a private bathroom or shared bathroom design.
- It is more difficult to clean and maintain than other bathroom designs.
- It doesn’t necessarily share a wall with the bedroom and may be approached from the outside.
- A single guest or family member uses it but can also be converted into a ‘shared bathroom’.
Here’s a lowdown on the most attractive attached bathroom designs, which are the ‘talk of the town’ in the Indian interior design market.
Airy & Beachy Attached Bathroom Design
This white and light brown-themed attached bathroom design is nothing less than a dream come true. Its neutral tones create a beachy and airy vibe in the space. This one has a dual option of a bathtub and an exclusive shower area, again complemented by pebble stones and tall green plants for decor. A small wall divider visually separates the toilet and the vanity section.
Attach Toilet Bathroom Design
This attached toilet bathroom design looks quite luxurious and contemporary. The elongated rather than squared layout makes the space look symmetrical and sleek. The wooden plank flooring, enveloped between the light grey side walls, extends up to the ceiling, which makes the area feel bigger than it already is. The abundance of green plants lends a rustic element to the interiors and enhances the overall appearance.
Industrial-Style Attached Bathroom Design
This attached bathroom design oozes boldness and sophistication. The patterned smokey grey wall tiles give off an industrial vibe, and the dark colour theme is delicately broken by the white flooring, toilet and vanity sink section. It does not look overwhelming to the eye and creates a sense of balance in the space. The glass panel perfectly separates the shower area from the rest of the bathroom to avoid floor splashes and potential accidents.
Nautical-Themed Bedroom Attached Bathroom Design
This nautical-themed attached bathroom design is the ideal option if you’re an avid sea lover. The washroom’s indigo blue and white colour scheme creates an interesting visual story that will be noticeable to anyone who visits this space. The design aesthetics of this space reflect the epitome of creativity.
Small Attached Bathroom Design
If you want to enjoy the benefits of an attached bathroom but do not have the luxury of as much space, then you can still live that dream with this unique design. It incorporates a floating vanity and wall mirror on all three sides to create an illusion of more space.
All in all, a modern bedroom with an attached bathroom enhances the overall living experience of the homeowners and guests who visit.
