A Curved Shower and a Simple White Finish in Balmedie

A quadrant enclosure, pedestal basin and white panelled walls give this Balmedie ensuite a straightforward layout with contrasting black details.

A dedicated place to shower

The shower has a curved clear front and black fittings. The visible overhead outlet and handset offer different rinsing positions within the same washing area.

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.

A place to get ready

A large mirror with a built-in shelf sits above the pedestal basin. A toothbrush charger and shaver socket give daily items their own provisions at this point in the room.

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 wood-effect panels provide broad wall surfaces with fewer conventional grout joints. The black taps and metal details stand out against this lighter backdrop.

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.

A practical finish underfoot

White marble-effect vinyl click flooring brings a pale patterned contrast below the walls. The anthracite radiator gives the heating a defined wall position beside the door.

Vinyl click flooring gives a warmer feel under bare feet than ceramic tile and avoids floor grout joints. Its appearance connects the fittings without another change of material between areas. The floor remains part of the ordinary cleaning routine, with furniture and fittings defining the space around it.
