A Longer Shower and Tailored Storage in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

Bathroom into Wetroom, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

A generous wetroom area and fitted storage give this Bridge of Don bathroom distinct places for showering and getting ready.

Moving the toilet allowed the shower to occupy the area in front of the window. Black hexagonal tiles, pale larger tiles and coordinated black fittings make the new arrangement easy to read.

Room to shower, with the controls nearby

The showering area measures 900 × 1700 mm. A glass panel defines its edge, keeping the view across the bathroom open while separating the wet area from the basin side. Concealed shower controls were positioned outside the main spray area so the water can be started before entering.

An illuminated recess offers storage within the wall. Shampoo and shower gel have a place away from the shower floor, avoiding a separate basket in the available showering space.

Furniture shaped around the fittings

The custom-built units use a narrower depth around the toilet and deeper furniture at the basin. This gives storage space where it is useful without making the entire run project equally far into the room.

Drawers below the countertop basin provide a place for daily products. The wide counter also gives space to put down items while getting ready, with the illuminated mirror above completing the washing area.

Fewer joints across the pale surfaces

White 600 × 600 mm floor tiles and 1200 × 600 mm wall tiles reduce the number of grout joints compared with smaller tiles. Epoxy grout was used for the tiled finish; the black hexagonal shower tiles retain their deliberate, smaller-scale pattern.

The towel radiator has wall-fed pipework, leaving fewer fittings to wipe around at floor level. A UPVC ceiling and downlights complete the room with simple upper surfaces, while an extractor at the shower end provides ventilation close to the wet area.
