An ensuite is a bathroom that is directly connected to a bedroom. While an ensuite may seem identical to a bathroom, they actually have very different functions. A regular bathroom is designed to serve a wide variety of people, including anyone who lives in or visits the home. It needs to be universally accessible and appealing, and it should fit a more general aesthetic.
Conversely, an ensuite is designed to be used primarily by those who use the adjoining bedroom, and often, an ensuite doesn’t have an entrance aside from the one in the bedroom. As a result, the ensuite can cater specifically to one person’s needs, whether that’s an expanded makeup cabinet, a spacious shower, or special accommodations for someone with unique physical disabilities.
