A Shower and Useful Basin Drawers in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

Bathtroom Redesign, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

A walk-in shower at the end of this Bridge of Don bathroom combines storage within the shower wall with drawers below the basin.

A dedicated place to shower

The redesigned room gives the shower its own area. Thermostatic fittings help keep the selected temperature consistent, while clear glass keeps the view towards the surrounding surfaces open.

A defined showering area keeps the washing routine focused in one part of the room. Clear glass preserves a view through to the surrounding finishes while marking the shower boundary. The arrangement makes the relationship between the shower and nearby fittings easy to understand when entering the room.

Essentials put away near the basin

The basin vanity provides enclosed drawers beneath the washing surface. The dark fronts contrast with the white basin, making the storage a simple part of the room’s palette.

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 place to get ready

The illuminated mirror supplies a reflection at the washing area. A toothbrush charging point provides a dedicated place for this daily item beside the basin.

A mirror at the washing area provides a reflection for the small tasks that begin or end the day. Its position makes use of the available wall rather than adding another piece of floor furniture. The basin and surrounding surface remain the practical centre of this part of the room.

Broad surfaces for everyday upkeep

Panels, a UPVC ceiling and vinyl click flooring form the surrounding finishes. The towel radiator gives hanging levels on the wall, with an inline extractor serving ventilation.

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.
