Give floor warmth and towel drying separate jobs

In our compact Newmachar ensuite, underfloor heating sits beneath the tiled finish alongside a wetroom shower, fitted basin cupboard and pocket door. The warmth is part of the floor arrangement. That leaves a separate question about towels, because a comfortable floor and a useful place to hang a damp towel serve different parts of the morning routine.

When planning a similar room, we discuss those two jobs separately. Show where you will stand barefoot and where you expect to leave a towel after washing. If you want the towel warmed, describe when you want that warmth and discuss how it would be provided. The positions can be checked against the shower screen and furniture before the layout is fixed. This helps keep the compact floor plan comfortable while making sure the towel has a practical place of its own.
