The shower now occupies the former bathing area in front of the window. A black-framed screen, basin drawers and a mirrored cabinet add practical functions to the grey panelled room.
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.
Everyday items close to the basin
Drawers beneath the basin give toiletries and small personal items a place close to where they are used. Putting supplies away leaves the basin surface available for washing and getting ready. The storage belongs to the washing area itself, so the room does not have to rely on an extra freestanding cabinet for these everyday essentials.
Small items near the mirror
The mirrored cabinet combines a reflection with enclosed storage at eye level. Small toiletries can be put away near their point of use, leaving the basin area less crowded. Storage above the basin complements the furniture below, giving everyday items different places without asking a single visible surface to hold them all.
A dedicated place for towels
The towel radiator gives towels a defined hanging place within the room. Its bars use wall space rather than adding another item to the floor, and towels can be warmed when the radiator is running. Having a proper towel position supports the daily routine after washing and helps keep the basin and bath edges available.
Water where it is needed
The shower handset offers control over where the water is directed during washing. It is also useful for rinsing the bath or shower area afterwards. Keeping the handset near the main washing position makes this flexibility available without another fitting elsewhere in the room, supporting both everyday use and the ordinary task of washing down surfaces.
