A Bath with Storage Built around It in Portlethen

Fitted drawers and three recessed shelves give this Portlethen bathroom useful storage beside its combined bath and shower.

Keep the option of a bath

The shower has moved to the opposite bath end, with fixed glass defining its side. The fixed screen avoids needing a moving enclosure mechanism around the bathing area.

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 new wall conceals the soil pipe and includes three shelf levels. Shower products can remain in the wall instead of spreading along the bath edge.

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 includes a deeper basin unit with drawers. A recessed illuminated mirrored cabinet adds storage beside the toilet, and the wall-mounted tap keeps the basin counter clearer.

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 defined place for towels

The towel radiator is at the end of the bath. Solid-core wall panels, vinyl click flooring and a UPVC ceiling supply the surrounding finish, with a toothbrush charger on the new wall.

A towel radiator supplies hanging levels within the room. Towels have a defined home near the washing areas rather than needing to be draped over the shower glass or furniture. Its wall position gives this everyday item a place within the layout without another freestanding object on the floor.
