A Longer Shower and Three Drawers in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

More Room to Shower, More Space for Everyday Essentials: A Bathroom Renovation in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

A longer walk-in shower and three-drawer vanity give this Bridge of Don bathroom useful washing space and storage, with pale marble-effect tiles connecting them.

A dedicated place to shower

Clear glass defines the showering area while leaving its entrance open. An overhead outlet and handset offer a choice of water direction, with concealed controls away from the spray.

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.

Vanity and concealed controls away from spray

Essentials put away near the basin

Three drawers beneath the basin keep toiletries close to daily use. Their integrated handles retain a simple appearance, with the white fronts against the pale tiled wall.

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 sits above the basin, alongside daylight from the window. Ceiling downlights add general illumination without another item of furniture at the washing area.

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.

A finish that brings the room together

Large-format tiles continue across the shower wall, basin backdrop and floor. Painted remaining walls give the pattern a lighter surrounding backdrop, with a chrome towel radiator beside the washing area.

Repeating the tile finish across neighbouring areas links the fittings visually. Pale bathroom furniture and the selected metal details stand out against that backdrop without needing several different decorative surfaces. Tiles, their joints and the fittings all remain part of regular cleaning, with the pattern supplying much of the room’s character.
