A Bath and Storage for Everyday Essentials in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

Bathroom Refurbishment Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

A bath replaces the former shower in this Bridge of Don bathroom, with custom cupboards and a recessed shelf keeping daily products close by.

Keep the option of a bath

The bath retains showering through an overhead outlet and handset. The overflow filler keeps the bath rim clear of a conventional tap, with a glass screen marking the showering side.

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

A recess beside the bath provides bottle storage within the wall. Its pale tiled finish links it with the rest of the bathing area.

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

Custom furniture places cupboards below the basin and beside the toilet. The illuminated mirror has a demister, with a shaver socket and toothbrush charger nearby.

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 finish that brings the room together

Fully tiled walls surround the washing areas, with vinyl click flooring below. The replacement UPVC window, towel radiator and UPVC ceiling with downlights complete the visible layout.

Repeating the tile finish across neighbouring areas links the fittings visually. Pale bathroom furniture and the selected metal details stand out against that backdrop without needing several different decorative surfaces. Tiles, their joints and the fittings all remain part of regular cleaning, with the pattern supplying much of the room’s character.
