A Bath, Shower and Useful Drawers in Airyhall, Aberdeen

A separate bath and shower give this Airyhall bathroom washing choices, while compact drawers and a round mirror make a defined basin area.

Keep the option of a bath

The bath was rotated to face the window as part of the redesign. Black fittings connect the bath with the shower and basin, keeping the room’s smaller details coordinated.

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.

A dedicated place to shower

A black-framed shower enclosure contains an overhead outlet and handset. A recessed shelf provides bottle storage inside the shower wall.

A defined showering area keeps the washing routine focused in one part of the room. Clear glass preserves a view through to the surrounding finishes while marking the shower boundary. The arrangement makes the relationship between the shower and nearby fittings easy to understand when entering the room.

Essentials put away near the basin

Repositioning the vanity provided space for the mirror above it. Its soft-close drawers keep products close to the basin without requiring open storage on the washing surface.

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 practical finish underfoot

Vinyl click flooring continues through the room. Full-height shower tiling and half-height tiles elsewhere give the pale surfaces a clear relationship to the painted upper walls.

Vinyl click flooring gives a warmer feel under bare feet than ceramic tile and avoids floor grout joints. Its appearance connects the fittings without another change of material between areas. The floor remains part of the ordinary cleaning routine, with furniture and fittings defining the space around it.
