A freestanding bath can lose much of its clean outline once the filler, bottles and bath products all need a place. In Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, a wall-mounted filler serves the black-sided bath and a long illuminated niche takes bath products off the rim. Gold mosaic gives the shelf a distinct finish, while the surrounding pale tiles carry the larger wall surface.
For your room, we can resolve the bath, filler and storage together before settling on individual fittings. Check where the filler outlet sits over the inside of the bowl and how the controls will be reached. Look at the niche from the bath itself, where its height and position matter more than they do on the wall elevation. The shelf can provide a place for everyday bottles without interrupting the bath outline. When the plumbing, storage and wall finishes are drawn around the same position, a clean rim becomes something you can use and keep clear.
