Ensuite Renovations in Melbourne: Smart Upgrades for Comfort and Style in 2025

What is an Ensuite—and Why It’s Worth Upgrading

An ensuite isn’t just a bathroom. It’s your personal space—tucked away from guests and shared spaces. And in 2025, Melbourne homeowners are treating it like a private retreat.

Whether you’re planning to refresh your fixtures or gut the entire space, an ensuite renovation delivers real daily comfort. It's also a smart investment that adds value to your home, especially if you’re in a competitive suburb.

Top Ensuite Upgrades in 2025

Here’s what’s trending in Melbourne ensuite designs right now:

  • Walk-in showers with frameless glass – Sleek, easy to clean, and space-saving.

  • Floating vanities – Create the illusion of space while offering practical storage.

  • Warm lighting – Soft, ambient lighting makes the space feel inviting and calm.

  • Smart storage niches – Built-in wall niches keep surfaces clean and uncluttered.

  • Matte tapware – Black, gunmetal and brushed brass finishes are leading the way.

Design Tips for Small Ensuites

Working with a tight space? Most Melbourne ensuites are compact—but that doesn’t mean they can’t be stunning.

  • Stick to one statement material to avoid visual clutter.

  • Use large mirrors to reflect light and make the room feel bigger.

  • Opt for sliding doors (or barn doors) if you’re short on swing space.

  • Tile all the way up to draw the eye upward and add a sense of height.

Cost Guide: What You’ll Actually Spend

Ensuite renovation costs can vary widely depending on scope and finish:

  • Basic upgrade: $12,000 – $18,000

  • Mid-range: $18,000 – $28,000

  • Luxury finish: $30,000+

Costs include demolition, waterproofing, plumbing changes, tiling, fixtures, and finishes. If you’re keeping the same layout and only updating finishes, you’ll save significantly.

Is It Worth It?

Absolutely. A well-designed ensuite not only elevates your daily routine—it enhances resale appeal. In competitive Melbourne suburbs, buyers are increasingly looking for homes with renovated ensuites that feel private and luxurious.
