Bathing Choices beneath a Sloping Ceiling in Mannofield, Aberdeen

Bathroom refurbishment Mannofield, Aberdeen

A freestanding bath and walk-in shower share this Mannofield bathroom, with pale finishes and a wall-hung vanity fitted around its sloping ceiling.

Keep the option of a bath

The freestanding bath sits beneath the window with a wall-mounted filler. The bath rim remains clear of tap fittings, giving a simpler edge to wipe.

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.

Bottles with a place of their own

Recessed shelves at the shower end use the low wall beneath the slope. Bottles can stay within the wall rather than on the tray or around the bath.

Recessed shelves hold shower products within the wall instead of projecting into the washing area. Shampoo and shower gel can stay away from the tray or bath edge, with the things needed for washing close by. The storage becomes part of the room rather than an added basket.

Essentials put away near the basin

The wall-hung vanity has enclosed storage directly beneath the basin. A mirror and shaver socket complete the washing area, leaving the floor under the furniture visible.

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.

Comfort beneath the tiles

Underfloor heating adds warmth beneath the tiled floor. Half-height tiling and painted upper walls follow the changing ceiling height, with a towel radiator adding hanging space.

Underfloor heating adds warmth beneath a tiled finish when in use. It brings a comfort detail into the floor rather than adding another visible object to the room. The surface pattern can therefore remain consistent around the washing and storage areas while the heating sits beneath it.
