A freestanding bath sits alongside a tiled wetroom shower with a built-in seat. A long illuminated recess and wall-hung basin drawers give products separate storage positions within the room.
A bath for a slower moment
The bath provides a place to take time over bathing alongside the room’s other washing facilities. Its position makes it a clear part of the layout rather than an incidental fitting. Keeping bathing products nearby and leaving the rim available for use helps this area remain practical as well as being a focus of the finished room.
A perch within the shower
The shower seat provides a place to sit within the washing area. It brings this option into the shower itself rather than relying on a loose stool placed elsewhere in the room. Together with the nearby fittings, it gives the shower another practical use while remaining part of the planned arrangement of the washing space.
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.
Bottles off the washing surface
Recessed shelves give shampoo and other washing products a home inside the wall. Bottles stay near the washing area without gathering on the tray or bath edge. Because the storage is inset, it avoids adding a basket that projects into the space. The shelves make a small but useful contribution to ordinary washing and cleaning routines.
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.
