A pocket door avoids an inward swing, while customised furniture follows the window wall. Grey tiles, a round illuminated mirror and black fittings give the shower room its distinctive finish.
A dedicated place to shower
The shower has its own defined area, with clear glass preserving the view through the room. Separating this washing space from the basin gives each fitting a clear purpose. The screen helps contain spray while leaving the surrounding finishes visible. A useful bathroom layout considers the places for washing, drying and moving between fittings together.
Storage fitted into the layout
Fitted cupboards provide enclosed storage beside the basin, keeping spare products close without putting everything on display. The worktop links the furniture and gives small items a temporary place during washing. Bringing storage into the fitted arrangement allows the room’s useful surfaces to serve daily tasks instead of becoming the permanent home for every bottle.
An entrance without an inward swing
The pocket door slides into the wall, avoiding an inward-opening leaf competing with nearby fittings. That allows the entrance and washing area to share adjacent space more deliberately. The benefit is in the layout itself: the doorway can be used without needing to reserve an opening arc across the room’s available floor area.
A dedicated place for towels
The towel radiator gives towels a defined hanging place within the room. Its bars use wall space rather than adding another item to the floor, and towels can be warmed when the radiator is running. Having a proper towel position supports the daily routine after washing and helps keep the basin and bath edges available.
A useful place to get ready
The mirror gives the basin area a clear focus for getting ready. Its illuminated edge adds another layer of light and makes the reflection a distinct feature in the room. Placing the mirror alongside the washing area keeps these everyday functions together, with the neighbouring surfaces available for the small items currently being used.
