Turning a loft into a useful and attractive bedroom with an en-suite for just £5,000 is ambitious. This case study shows it’s possible, with House Designer’s smart choices and clever design. It’s possible to achieve style and functionality without breaking the bank.
Designing a Practical and Inviting Space
The success of this project lay in using space well. The goal was to add an en-suite with a bathtub. A divider wall was key. It split the bath from the bedroom, keeping the loft’s airy feel.

Bedroom Bliss
In the bedroom, comfort meets high-end design. Our design board presents a serene palette anchored by a plush, tufted headboard and complemented by rich, velvety textures in the furnishings. The bedding is crisp and white, offering a cloud-like invitation to unwind.
The true gems within this space are the accents of green and gold. The wallpaper features marbling with veins of gold, mirroring the opulence found in the en-suite, ensuring a harmonious flow throughout the home. These touches of greenery breathe life into the room, while the abstract artwork introduces a modern edge.
Bathroom Design
The en-suite bathroom design board exudes a sense of opulent minimalism. We selected a palette that blends timeless gold accents with the modernity of matte black fixtures. The crisp white of the basin and bathtub adds a classic touch, while the dark-hued vanity unit injects a dash of contemporary chic.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the gold hardware, which elevates the space. From the sleek lines of the brass taps to the warm glow of the mirror’s backlighting, every element works in concert to create a cohesive, luxurious feel. To add texture and depth, we’ve incorporated a green marble tile that speaks of nature and tranquillity—a perfect backdrop for a relaxing retreat.
