Wetroom Cove: a defined wetroom area

A compact wetroom and fitted cupboards give this Cove bathroom useful washing and storage areas opposite one another. A mirrored cabinet and pale wall panels keep the practical layout visually consistent.

A defined wetroom area

The showering area uses a tiled floor and drainage within the room’s layout. The wall finish continues around it, joining the washing space to the neighbouring fittings rather than creating a separate opaque cabin. This gives the room a clear place for showering while allowing its shape and surfaces to remain visible around the everyday washing facilities.

Everyday items have a home

Enclosed storage beside the washing area gives toiletries and spare supplies somewhere to go after use. Keeping these items behind doors leaves the nearby surface available for the things being used, rather than asking it to hold every product at once. The fitted arrangement brings storage close to the everyday routine without adding another separate cabinet to the room.

Water where it is needed

The handheld shower gives a way to direct water rather than relying only on a fixed outlet. This is useful for washing and for rinsing the bathing area after use. Its rail and hose keep the fitting within the washing space, making this practical detail part of the same arrangement as the nearby screen, wall finish and controls.

Broad surfaces for regular wiping

Wall panels create broad surfaces around the washing area, with fewer conventional grout joints than a wall built from small tiles. That reduces the number of individual joints to attend to during ordinary cleaning. The finish still needs regular care around edges and fittings, while its repeated pattern gives the room a consistent backdrop for the sanitary fittings.
