This Kintore bathroom keeps a separate bath and shower while bringing useful storage to the basin. A tiled bath surround and wall-fed radiator pipes show how smaller layout details can support ordinary daily use.
A useful edge around the bath
The custom tiled surround creates a ledge around the bath for bathing items and toys. It gives these objects somewhere to sit without adding a separate shelf or freestanding unit. A recess at the end of the bath makes use of the space around the soil ventilation pipe, integrating an awkward corner into the finished arrangement.
Drawers close to the basin
The wall-hung vanity has two soft-close drawers beneath a countertop basin. Everyday toiletries can be kept near the washing area, while the floor below remains visible. A mirrored cabinet adds enclosed storage higher up and the shaver socket provides a useful provision nearby. The wood-effect furniture contrasts gently with the pale tile finish.
A shower with a curved front
A curved enclosure replaces the original rectangular shower. Its rounded front changes how the shower meets the rest of the room, with clear glass keeping views through the bathroom open. The overhead head and handset offer a choice of rinsing positions. The separate bath remains available, so neither bathing nor showering has to be removed from the layout.
Fewer obstacles beneath the radiator
Radiator pipes have been brought through the wall, reducing the pipework around the floor below. That makes this particular cleaning area easier to reach. Tiled boxing conceals the toilet pipework, and pale wall and floor tiles connect the fittings visually. Green painted walls above the tiles add colour without interrupting the coordinated lower finish.
