Opting for a bathroom suite is a great way to keep your renovation costs down, create a sense of continuity and achieve your desired aesthetic. However with so many different styles and features to choose from, it can soon become a confusing process.

When choosing a bathroom suite, it’s important that you choose a suite that is : 

a) Suitable for you and your needs

b) Suitable for your space

c) Coincides with your style and taste

Keeping these things in mind will allow you to choose the perfect suite for your home that will be both aesthetically pleasing and efficiently functional.

To help you make your decision, we’ve shared our top 10 bathroom suite ideas so that you can make an informed decision and create the bathroom of your dreams.

 

1. Suites for Family Bathrooms

It goes without saying that family bathrooms take on a lot of wear and tear, which means they need to be able to stand up to the test of time and survive everything that day to day life throws at them. From the morning madness to the bedtime blues, your family bathroom really sees it all!

When choosing a family bathroom suite, you want to make sure that the suite includes everything that you need so that you are getting full functionality from the suite you choose. 

Some great features to look out for when choosing a bathroom suite for a family are: 

  • Bath shower

  • Bath screen

  • Toilet 

  • Vanity unit

Making sure that your bathroom suite has off of these included will make it the perfect choice for you and your family. But it is important to note that a majority of bathroom suites will not include fixtures such as taps and showers, but this gives you the opportunity to get creative with your bathroom design.

The Cruze B-Shaped Shower Bath Suite is a great choice for a modern family bathroom. This suite contains everything a family might need in the bathroom including a bath shower, which makes this suite suitable for everyone in the household.

Another great thing about this suite is its glossy white finish, which makes it as versatile as it is functional. You could combine this suite with any colour, from bright and cheerful pastels to muted and sophisticated shades to really achieve your preferred aesthetic. White is also a great option for a family bathroom suite as you can combine it with whatever fixtures you prefer, such as a contemporary and trendy brushed brass shower or a modern matt black basin tap. You could use this minimalistic set to design your dream bathroom, exactly how you imagine it.

One thing that you might be imagining when looking at this crisp white family bathroom suite is mucky fingerprints! However, with white gloss finish you will be able to wipe away dirt with ease.

 

2. Timeless and Traditional

Whilst modern and contemporary bathrooms are becoming increasingly more popular, there is nothing we love more than a traditional style bathroom. Opting for this style is a great way to ensure that your bathroom never goes out of style. Victorian and Edwardian designs are just as luxurious and chic as ever!

Some great features to look out for when choosing a traditional bathroom suite are:

  • Roll top bath 

  • High level toilet

  • Traditional washstand or pedestal basin 

These are some of the most iconic features of a traditional bathroom and are things that you should definitely consider incorporating if you prefer this timeless aesthetic.

The Newbury Traditional Back-to-Wall Roll Top Bath Suite is the perfect example of a traditional bathroom suite. Featuring a classic roll top bath, an iconic feature of any traditional style bathroom. 

With a classic white finish and chrome accents, this is another versatile suite that will work with any accent colour, from bright pastel blues to a classic monochrome design. This traditional set can truly become your own! To help maintain that traditional style, it is best that you pair this set with traditional style chrome fixtures. But if you prefer to combine different aesthetics to achieve a contemporary design, you could pair this set with some trendy brushed brass designs. Doing this will also make your space look warmer and more inviting.

With a traditional washstand and high level toilet, this suite screams traditional Victorian bathroom. But if you prefer a traditional aesthetic without these features, you can choose a suite with a traditional toilet and pedestal basin instead.

 

3. Cosy Cloakrooms

Whilst a cloakroom might not seem like the place to incorporate a bathroom suite, they can be a great option for a small space. Opting for a cloakroom suite will allow you to create a small space that is as inviting as it is functional. 

Some great features to look out for when choosing a cloakroom suite are:

  • Space saving vanity unit 

  • Close coupled toilet

By adding a suite which features clever space saving designs, you will be able to maximise floor space without sacrificing design and aesthetics in your cloakroom.

The Milan Minimalist Floor Standing Cloakroom Suite is a perfect choice for a small cloakroom. White furniture means that your small space won’t feel cramped and over crowded, and a clever space saving vanity unit and close coupled toilet means that you will be able to save on precious floor space. 

The best thing about this suite is the space saving vanity unit. With a small cupboard, you will be able to store bathroom and cleaning products out of sight, without taking up floor space. This will also remove the need for any additional storage, which can often protrude into the room and make your small space feel even smaller. 

Whilst you will have more choice when looking for a modern cloakroom suite, there are some traditional styles available that will still help you to save on space. 

 

4.  A Suite Combination

A great way to create a sense of continuity in your bathroom is to opt for a combination unit. They are great at maintaining the aesthetic in your bathroom by hiding unsightly pipework and bathroom products. Another great thing about a combination unit is they can help to save space in smaller bathrooms.

Some great features to look out for when choosing a combination suite are:

  • Toilet and basin combos

The Arezzo 1100 Matt Grey Semi-Recessed Round Combination Vanity Unit will help to save space in a smaller bathroom whilst achieving that built-in in look that will make your bathroom look and feel more luxurious.

With chrome handles and matt grey finish, this combination unit will instantly make your bathroom look more modern and contemporary, making the Arezzo 1100 Matt Grey Semi-Recessed Round Combination Vanity Unit the perfect choice if you prefer this aesthetic.

Another great thing about a combination suite is that they can be incorporated into any bathroom. Which means you can still achieve the look of a bathroom suite without the added expense of a new bath or shower, and with so many designs to choose from, modern and contemporary or timeless and traditional, you will be able to find the perfect combination unit to finish off your bathroom.

 

5. Livin’ Large

When working with a larger bathroom, you might be unsure which suite will work the best with your space. So many bathroom suites are designed to save space and make a bathroom feel more open and spacious. 

So, when choosing a bathroom suite for a larger bathroom, these are some features to look out for: 

  • Walk in shower enclosure

  • Freestanding bath

  • Vanity unit

  • Storage

The Brooklyn Black Freestanding Bath Suite is a great choice for larger bathrooms. With a modern freestanding bath and coordinating furniture, your bathroom will instantly look more luxurious and hotel-like without looking empty and cold.

Choosing a bathroom suite with storage such as a vanity unit and mirrored cabinet is a great design choice for a larger bathroom. By making the most of your space and incorporating storage solutions, you will be able to keep your bathroom clutter free, making your space look clean and fresh without the clutter of unsightly bathroom products.

If you do not want to incorporate a bath into your bathroom, you can choose a bathroom suite with a walk-in shower instead. Walk-in showers make a great addition to larger bathrooms. When choosing a suite with a walk-in shower, make sure that it includes a shower tray and screen or enclosure.

 

6. En-Suite Treats

An en-suite can be a difficult space to renovate. They are usually smaller than a typical bathroom and unlike a cloakroom, you will usually have a shower as well as a sink and toilet. Which means you need to look out for a suite that will save space whilst incorporating a shower.

Some great features to look out for when choosing a suite for an en-suite are:

  • Quadrant shower/shower cubicle

  • Space saving vanity unit

  • Close coupled or short projection toilet

  • Mirrored cabinet

The Pacific Single Entry Quadrant & En-Suite Set includes a modern quadrant shower and space saving vanity unit that will open up floor space to make your en-suite feel more spacious. When choosing a suite for your en-suite, looking for a quadrant shower and a wall hung vanity unit is a great way to keep the precious floor space open, which will help to  make your space feel less cramped.

When choosing en-suite furniture, sticking to lighter colours such as white is a great way to keep your space looking fresh and minimalistic. Which means your space will feel more spacious. Combining glossy white finishes with chrome accents will help to maintain a clean aesthetic, this can be done with either modern or traditional fixtures to suit your preferred style.

If you are really struggling for space in your en-suite, you can always opt for a toilet and basin combo unit which conveniently holds the basin at the back of the toilet. Doing this will make your en-suite much easier to navigate. 

 

7. Accessible Bathroom Suites

If you need to design a bathroom that is fully accessible and user friendly then you should definitely consider an accessible suite. This will save money and time as you will get everything you need to make your bathroom more accessible.

Some great features to look out for when choosing an accessible suite are:

  • Grab rails

  • Comfort height toilet

  • Wall mount basin

  • Lever tap

  • Walk-in bath

Doc M packs include everything you need to make sure that your bathroom is fully accessible. With different colour variations, you will be able to choose a Doc M pack that coincides with your preferred style and taste all while improving your bathroom routine.

With practical grab rails and a coordinating toilet seat, your accessible bathroom will have a sense of continuity that will help to make your space look more stylish and less clinical. Opting for a grey finish will make your space look more sophisticated , but if you prefer a more colourful aesthetic, you might prefer a blue finish.

Choosing a bathroom suite with a comfort height toilet and wall mount basin will make your bathroom easier to navigate and use. A wall mounted basin will allow for full access for any wheelchair users, and the taller height of a comfort height toilet makes toilet access much easier.

8. Bright and Bold

In most cases, a bathroom suite will feature glossy white finishes, making them versatile and suitable to any space. However, many people prefer a more colourful approach to their bathroom design and would prefer to choose a bathroom suite that reflects this. 

Features to look out for when choosing a colourful bathroom suite are:

  • Matching furniture

  • Bright colours such as blue or pink

The Keswick Blue Bathroom Suite is the perfect bathroom suite for someone who prefers bold and bright colours. A blue suite is perfect if you want to design a quirky and contemporary style bathroom.

Another great thing about blue is that it looks great paired with different finishes, such as matt black or brushed brass. Which makes it easier to achieve your desired aesthetic. Opting for matt black with a blue bathroom suite will make your space look more modern and trendy. Combining a blue suite with brushed brass accents will make your space look more contemporary and quirky.

Opting for a colourful suite also means you will be able to set the colour tone in your bathroom. Blue furniture will make your space feel cool and modern, choosing a colour like pink or sage green will help to make your space feel warm and inviting.

 

9. Suave and Sophisticated

Combining modern and traditional designs will create a suave and sophisticated aesthetic in your bathroom. If you prefer this style, you can opt for a bathroom suite that will help you achieve this.

Some great features to look out for when designing a sophisticated bathroom:

  • Traditional bath

  • Contemporary bath screen

  • Wall hung vanity unit

  • Monochrome colour scheme

The Chatsworth Traditional Shower Bath Suite combines classic and modern designs to create a sophisticated and classy bathroom suite. A monochromatic colour scheme is the perfect choice if you prefer the sophisticated look, choosing a suite that incorporates this will help to achieve that classic style.

Combining a traditional style tub with a modern bath screen is another great way that the Chatsworth Traditional Shower Bath Suite elevates your bathroom design. This will make your space look trendy and unique without looking over the top.

A traditional style wall mount vanity unit will help to open up floor space and create a hotel-like atmosphere in your bathroom. Making your space look luxurious whilst maintaining a classy aesthetic.

 

10. Wood Effect 

Wood effects are great at adding warmth and depth to a space. If you want something more natural instead of the flat white colours that are typically seen in a bathroom suite, you should incorporate natural wood tones where possible.

Features to look out for when incorporating natural wood tones:

  • Wood effect vanity unit

  • Wood effect storage

  • Wood effect bath panels

The Brooklyn Natural Oak L Shaped Bath Suite is a modern suite that includes a natural oak effect unit to incorporate warmth and add depth to the space. This is a great choice if you want to achieve a boho or contemporary aesthetic in your bathroom whilst taking advantage of the convenience of a bathroom suite.

Wood effect furniture will allow you to hide unsightly pipes and bathroom products all while elevating the look of your bathroom. Wood effects have become very popular in recent years, and choosing a suite that features a wood effect finish is a great way to incorporate this trend.

Wood tones can be combined with almost any accent colour, from chrome and brushed brass to matt black accents. When you choose a bathroom suite featuring wood tones, you will be able to incorporate your preferred accent colour to design a bathroom that matches your style preference.
