An Open Shower and a Continuous Storage Run in Cove

Replacing the bath and moving the toilet give this Cove bathroom a long showering area alongside fitted wall-to-wall storage.

A dedicated place to shower

The shower has a black grid screen and a patterned feature wall. Clear glass keeps the washing area visually connected to the white-panelled room.

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

Fitted units run along the basin wall, giving spare products and toiletries enclosed storage. The countertop bowl sits on a dark contrasting surface.

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 large illuminated mirror includes a demister to help clear the reflection. Its magnifying section offers an additional close-up reflection at 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

White wall panels and a matt UPVC ceiling keep the surrounding finish simple. Vinyl click flooring brings a darker tone below, with a towel radiator beneath the window.

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.
