Two Basins and Useful Loft Storage in Aberdeen

Bathroom Refurbishment Aberdeen

An angled ceiling need not decide how much storage a bathroom can offer. This Aberdeen loft bathroom combines two basins, a bath with shower and storage built around the slopes.

Two places to get ready

Two vanity units give separate basin positions and cupboards beneath each one. Cabinet mirrors add storage at eye level, so small toiletries can stay close to their point of use. The vanity arrangement is partly recessed to preserve the door opening. That careful fit matters as much as the furniture itself: the entrance and washing areas have to work together.

The two cabinet mirrors also keep each basin position self-contained. Small personal items can be stored above the sink instead of competing for the central surface. The pale splashback connects both positions, with the dark blue fronts giving the lower furniture a clear visual boundary.

Useful space beneath the slope

Drawers built into the eaves use an area that can be awkward for freestanding furniture. Their closed fronts keep spare supplies out of view and make the low wall part of the storage plan. The concealed cistern gives the toilet a tidy backdrop, while the wood-effect vinyl floor brings a contrasting finish to the pale walls and tiles.

Using the eaves for drawers gives low headroom a useful purpose. Storage does not have to occupy the taller parts of the room that are needed for standing, washing and moving between the door and bath.

A bath and a flexible shower

The L-shaped bath keeps bathing and showering options in one fitting. Its wider end is the showering area, with a screen helping contain spray. An overhead head and separate handset offer two ways to rinse, and thermostatic controls help maintain a consistent temperature. The ceiling slopes remain visible, with the hexagonal tiles following the room’s distinctive shape.

The bath and overhead shower are positioned beneath the higher part of the ceiling. The roof window adds daylight alongside the tiled slopes, retaining the distinctive loft character while keeping the washing area clearly defined.

Bottles off the bath edge

A recess in the shower wall gives frequently used bottles a home within reach. It sits inside the wall rather than projecting into the washing area. The hexagonal tile pattern continues around it, combining useful storage with the character of the finished room. Twin shaver sockets beside the mirrors add a convenient provision at the two basin positions.
