Include the put-down space in the getting-ready area

A mirror, basin and cupboard are only part of a useful getting-ready position. In our Ellon bathroom, custom furniture provides a broad counter beside the countertop basin, with a shaver socket and double toothbrush charger included nearby.

Think through what happens between taking an item out and putting it away. Where will you rest a wash bag, glasses or the product currently in use? Mark the spot where a towel, glasses or shaving kit might sit for a moment and check what stays dry nearby. These are planning questions, rather than extra fittings to add automatically. Keeping a usable surface in the design helps the basin do its own job. Review charging arrangements with the installer alongside the mirror and storage, so the everyday items have deliberate positions.
