A walk-in shower replaces the bath in this Kingswells room, supported by shower panels and painted walls. The retained mirror and compact basin furniture give the washing area a familiar, useful focal point.
A dedicated place to shower
The shower has its own defined area within the bathroom. The glass boundary keeps a view through the space while separating the washing area from the neighbouring fittings. This gives showering a clear place in the layout without an opaque wall enclosing it, and allows the surrounding finish to remain visible as part of the room.
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.
Towels have their own place
The towel radiator provides hanging space on the wall rather than leaving towels resting on the basin or bath edge. Its position keeps this everyday item within the bathroom’s washing routine. When the heating is operating, the rail can also warm towels; its appearance is kept consistent with the nearby fittings so this practical feature belongs within the room.
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.
