A Bath and Useful Storage in Aberdeen

Adding a bath to this Aberdeen room gives it a different way to wash while retaining a basin cupboard beside the bathing area.

White metro tiles and black fittings form a clear, coordinated palette. The layout works around the window and existing soil-pipe position rather than trying to conceal the room’s shape behind bulky furniture.

A bath that also works for showering

The bath includes a dual thermostatic shower with overhead outlet and handset. The black grid screen defines its showering side, while the thermostatic control helps keep the selected water temperature consistent.

Two illuminated recesses at the end of the bath give toiletries a place within the wall. Products can stay away from the bath edge, with no basket projecting over the bathing space.

Storage beside the bath

The waterproof vanity unit allows enclosed storage to sit at the end of the bath. That is a useful response to this layout, where ordinary furniture close to the bathing area would need a different arrangement.

The basin and back-to-wall toilet occupy the former boxed area. Removing the larger boxing creates a simpler outline, while the visible cupboard offers a place for toiletries without requiring open shelves near the bath.

A bright, coordinated room

White bevelled metro tiles continue around the walls with white grout and trims. The black fittings and round mirror stand out against this pale background, giving the room character without several competing metal finishes.

Large 600 × 600 mm floor tiles use fewer joints than a small-tile floor. A UPVC ceiling, downlights and an extractor above the shower complete the finish, while the anthracite radiator gives towels and room heating a defined place.
