Bathing Choices and Storage in the Eaves in Newtonhill

Bathroom refurbishment, Newtonhill

A P-shaped bath and enclosed basin storage give this Newtonhill bathroom washing choices within a pale panelled room.

Keep the option of a bath

The bath has a dual thermostatic shower and clear screen at its wider end. The overhead outlet and handset offer a choice of rinsing positions beside recessed product storage.

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.

Combined washing area

Essentials put away near the basin

A former cupboard has been opened for shelving, while the vanity provides drawers beneath the basin. These give daily products defined places without another floor-standing cabinet.

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.

Basin drawers

A simpler outline at the toilet

The back-to-wall toilet has a cistern concealed in the eaves. Necessary boxing becomes a simple backdrop below the roof window rather than exposed pipework around the fitting.

Concealing pipework within the completed arrangement keeps the toilet area visually tidy. The neighbouring surfaces and furniture provide a clear backdrop around the fitting. This small part of the layout matters alongside the larger washing area, helping the basin, toilet and storage read as one considered room.

Concealed cistern

Broad surfaces for everyday upkeep

Wall panels continue throughout, with a UPVC ceiling, downlights and vinyl click flooring. The illuminated mirror and USB-equipped shaver socket add provisions at the basin.

Wall panels give broad surfaces to wipe, with fewer conventional grout joints than a fully tiled wall. Their continuous finish connects the washing areas visually. Normal care still includes fittings, edges and joints, but the wall surface itself avoids the grid of grout associated with smaller tiles.
