Ensuite Renovation Ideas for Vermont Homes (2025)
Ensuites are no longer an afterthought — they’re a personal retreat. And in Vermont and Vermont South, homeowners are embracing smart, modern ensuite upgrades that add real value to daily life (and to resale).
If your ensuite is stuck in the early 2000s — cramped layout, dated finishes, poor ventilation — now’s the time to rethink the space. Here’s what homeowners across 3133 are doing in 2025 to bring their ensuites into the modern era.
1. Walk-In Showers Over Bathtubs
Most ensuites don’t need a bathtub. Vermont homeowners are removing dated corner spas or rarely-used tubs in favour of spacious, walk-in showers with frameless glass and rainfall heads. This instantly makes the room feel larger, cleaner, and more luxurious.
2. Wall-Hung Vanities
Wall-hung vanities are dominating in 2025. They create more visible floor space and give your ensuite a more refined, streamlined look. Add push-to-open drawers or soft-close cabinetry in timber veneer or matte finishes for an elevated feel.
3. Smart Storage in Small Spaces
Because ensuites tend to be smaller, clever storage is critical. Think mirrored shaving cabinets, recessed niches in the shower, and narrow linen towers that maximise vertical space. Vermont homeowners are also opting for built-in hampers or drawer organisers to keep clutter off the bench.
4. Statement Tiles
Gone are the days of plain white tiles. In 2025, we’re seeing Vermont homeowners embrace large-format tiles, subtle textured patterns, and bold feature walls — especially behind the vanity or in the shower. These touches add personality without overwhelming the space.
5. Touchless Fixtures & Smart Lighting
Hands-free tapware, LED strip lighting under vanities, and sensor lights are small upgrades that make a big difference. These tech features are especially useful for nighttime visits and appeal to buyers if you plan to sell in the next few years.
6. Better Ventilation & Skylights
Many older ensuites in Vermont suffer from poor airflow. In 2025, skylights and high-capacity exhaust fans are must-haves. Not only do they improve the air quality, they bring in more natural light — critical for smaller spaces.
