Recessed Storage and Warm Tiled Floors in Oldmeldrum

Wetroom Oldmeldrum

Large tiles continue across the wetroom walls and floor. Recesses at the shower end and a wall-hung drawer vanity provide storage, while underfloor heating adds warmth beneath the tiled surface.

The tiled shower floor and glass screen define the washing area within the wetroom arrangement. Continuing the finishes around it connects the shower to the rest of the room. The screen helps manage the spread of spray while keeping the fittings visible, giving the layout a clear division between washing and the neighbouring basin area.

Everyday items close to the basin

Drawers beneath the basin give toiletries and small personal items a place close to where they are used. Putting supplies away leaves the basin surface available for washing and getting ready. The storage belongs to the washing area itself, so the room does not have to rely on an extra freestanding cabinet for these everyday essentials.

Bottles off the washing surface

Recessed shelves give shampoo and other washing products a home inside the wall. Bottles stay near the washing area without gathering on the tray or bath edge. Because the storage is inset, it avoids adding a basket that projects into the space. The shelves make a small but useful contribution to ordinary washing and cleaning routines.

Warmth beneath the tiled floor

Underfloor heating adds warmth beneath the tiles when operating. It brings this comfort into the floor rather than requiring another visible fitting in the same area. The tiled finish remains part of the room’s coordinated appearance, combining a consistent surface with a useful feature for the moments spent moving between the basin and washing area.

A coordinated tiled finish

The tiles connect the washing areas through a consistent wall finish. Their pattern and colour provide a backdrop for the fittings rather than introducing unrelated surfaces at every corner. Keeping the finish coherent lets the useful details stand out: storage near washing areas, clear positions for the sanitaryware and surfaces that can be cared for as part of the normal routine.
