A Longer Shower and Corner Storage in Westhill

Ensuite Refurbishment, Westhill

Extending the shower into the former cupboard gives this Westhill ensuite more showering space, with L-shaped furniture and a recessed radiator.

A dedicated place to shower

The shower occupies the former cupboard area. Concealed controls are opposite the shower head, making them reachable before entering the main 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.

Bottles with a place of their own

An illuminated recess gives bottles a home within the shower wall. The shower panels reduce conventional grout joints in the wet area.

Recessed shelves hold shower products within the wall instead of projecting into the washing area. Shampoo and shower gel can stay away from the tray or bath edge, with the things needed for washing close by. The storage becomes part of the room rather than an added basket.

Essentials put away near the basin

L-shaped units give toiletries enclosed storage around the basin and toilet wall. An illuminated mirror and integrated toothbrush charging point add provisions at the washing area.

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.

Basin and mirror

Make the available space useful

The radiator is recessed near the door so it does not compete with the opening. Vinyl click flooring, painted upper walls and a re-plastered painted ceiling with downlights complete the room.

The fitting positions work together with the room’s existing shape. Keeping each washing and storage area clearly defined helps the layout feel considered, rather than like unrelated objects fitted wherever they will stand. The result can be appreciated in the routes between the entrance, basin and bathing area.
