Inset shelves use the alcove beside the bath in this Holburn bathroom in Aberdeen. Custom cupboards and a countertop basin add storage along the window wall of the compact room.
Bathing and showering together
The bath and shower share one part of the room, providing different washing options within the same footprint. The glass screen helps contain shower spray while keeping the wall finish visible. This combination retains the choice of taking a bath without finding space for a second washing area, making a single arrangement useful at different moments of the day.
Bottles close at hand
Recessed storage gives washing products a designated home within the wall. Bottles can stay near the shower or bath without collecting on the washing surface, and the inset shelves avoid a separate basket projecting into the space. It is a small detail with an everyday purpose: keeping products together where they are used and leaving the washing area clearer.
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.
