The B-shaped bath and fitted basin run provide bathing choices and storage within the same room. Rich stone-effect panels contrast with pale cupboards and a simple round mirror.
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.
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.
Water where it is needed
The shower handset offers control over where the water is directed during washing. It is also useful for rinsing the bath or shower area afterwards. Keeping the handset near the main washing position makes this flexibility available without another fitting elsewhere in the room, supporting both everyday use and the ordinary task of washing down surfaces.
