A Bath and Storage around the Sloping Ceiling in Westhill

A bath, basin drawers and a tall wall cupboard give this Westhill bathroom useful washing and storage areas beneath its sloping ceiling.

Keep the option of a bath

The bath uses a UPVC panel and glass screen for its showering side. Patterned tiles behind it provide a distinct backdrop within the fully tiled room.

A bath gives a different washing option alongside the other fittings. Its position, rim and surrounding surfaces matter during ordinary use: where products sit, where a towel can hang and how the bath relates to the basin. The completed arrangement gives bathing its own clear place in the room.

Essentials put away near the basin

Soft-close drawers below the basin hold daily toiletries. A matching wall-hung unit provides further storage for spare supplies without an additional cabinet on the floor.

Enclosed storage gives daily toiletries and spare supplies a place behind doors. Products can be returned after use rather than gathering around the tap or across the worktop. Keeping storage close to the washing area also reduces the need for an extra freestanding cabinet in the room.

A place to get ready

The 1000 × 500 mm illuminated mirror has a demister to help clear the reflection. Its position works with the lower wall beside the bath and basin.

A mirror at the washing area provides a reflection for the small tasks that begin or end the day. Its position makes use of the available wall rather than adding another piece of floor furniture. The basin and surrounding surface remain the practical centre of this part of the room.

Comfort beneath the tiles

Underfloor heating sits beneath vinyl click flooring. The external wall was insulated during the renovation, while the anthracite radiator, downlights and painted ceiling complete the visible finish.

Underfloor heating adds warmth beneath the vinyl floor when in use. The heating remains out of view, allowing the wood-effect surface to connect the room’s washing and storage areas. The patterned bath wall and pale furniture provide the other main finishes around it.
