White tiles and a dark shower tray provide a strong contrast. Custom units support a patterned countertop basin, with an illuminated recess adding storage within the shower wall.
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.
A useful basin reflection
The mirror provides a useful reflection close to the basin, keeping washing and getting ready together. The nearby fitted cupboards give spare toiletries a place behind closed doors, leaving the basin surface available during use. The mirror and furniture form one considered part of the room rather than relying on another freestanding storage piece.
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.
