White furniture, pale wall panels and a wood-effect ceiling connect the basin and bathing area. The towel radiator sits at the bath end, while fitted cupboards provide storage beside the basin.
Bath or shower to suit the day
A bath with a shower above offers two ways to wash within the same part of the room. The screen helps contain spray during showering, while the bath remains available for a longer soak. Combining these functions preserves a choice of routine without requiring a separate shower enclosure elsewhere in the bathroom.
Storage fitted into the layout
Fitted cupboards provide enclosed storage beside the basin, keeping spare products close without putting everything on display. The worktop links the furniture and gives small items a temporary place during washing. Bringing storage into the fitted arrangement allows the room’s useful surfaces to serve daily tasks instead of becoming the permanent home for every bottle.
A useful place to get ready
The mirror gives the basin area a clear focus for getting ready. Its illuminated edge adds another layer of light and makes the reflection a distinct feature in the room. Placing the mirror alongside the washing area keeps these everyday functions together, with the neighbouring surfaces available for the small items currently being used.
A dedicated place for towels
The towel radiator gives towels a defined hanging place within the room. Its bars use wall space rather than adding another item to the floor, and towels can be warmed when the radiator is running. Having a proper towel position supports the daily routine after washing and helps keep the basin and bath edges available.
Broad surfaces for ordinary care
Wall panels give the washing area broad surfaces to wipe, with fewer conventional grout joints than small tiles. Keeping a consistent finish around the fittings also makes the room visually coherent. Regular cleaning remains part of looking after the bathroom, with the practical advantage coming from the large surfaces and reduced number of separate tiled joints.
