It can be frustrating having to share a bathroom with your family, especially in the morning. If you have space beside your bedroom to build an en-suite bathroom, then you should most definitely consider it.

Just imagine having a bathroom available at your leisure. Sounds good, right? Apart from the personal benefits, there are also long-term financial benefits with an en-suite bathroom adding more value to a property (as long as you’re not sacrificing another bedroom).

Make sure to plan your en-suite properly. You need to consider plumbing, size, layout. Floor space may seem like it’s enough for the mean time, but draw a scaled-layout and put measurements of essential bathroom furniture in the layout, so you know exactly how much free space there will be.
