A pocket door avoids an inward opening arc in the tiled ensuite. The wetroom area, basin cupboard and underfloor heating bring washing, storage and comfort into the room’s compact arrangement.
A defined wetroom shower
The tiled shower floor and glass screen define the washing area within the wetroom arrangement. Continuing the finishes around it connects the shower to the rest of the room. The screen helps manage the spread of spray while keeping the fittings visible, giving the layout a clear division between washing and the neighbouring basin area.
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.
Warmth beneath the tiled floor
Underfloor heating adds warmth beneath the tiles when operating. It brings this comfort into the floor rather than requiring another visible fitting in the same area. The tiled finish remains part of the room’s coordinated appearance, combining a consistent surface with a useful feature for the moments spent moving between the basin and washing area.
A coordinated tiled finish
The tiles connect the washing areas through a consistent wall finish. Their pattern and colour provide a backdrop for the fittings rather than introducing unrelated surfaces at every corner. Keeping the finish coherent lets the useful details stand out: storage near washing areas, clear positions for the sanitaryware and surfaces that can be cared for as part of the normal routine.
