Can a bathroom and ensuite be planned together?
Yes. Planning both rooms in one scope can coordinate material, fixture, millwork, lighting, and trade decisions. The Ladysmith bathroom and ensuite were completed this way.

Ladysmith bathroom and ensuite
Two rooms, one coordinated scope.
The bathroom and ensuite retained their layouts except for replacing the ensuite tub with a larger shower. The space below the ensuite window became a tiled shelf, and the main-bath vanity was sized to preserve toilet clearance.

Tile, millwork, fixtures, and concealed services need to follow the same measured layout.
- Wet area
- Shower or bath dimensions, drainage, niches, glass, waterproofing transitions, and fixture clearances.
- Visible alignments
- Tile modules, edges, vanity dimensions, counters, mirrors, and lighting.
- Behind the finish
- Plumbing, electrical, ventilation, backing, and access before walls and floors are closed.
