Keep the floor open after the furniture is fitted

Wall-hung furniture only keeps the floor useful if everyday belongings have somewhere else to go. Our Ferryhill bathroom in Aberdeen pairs wall-hung drawers with a P-shaped bath and shower, recessed bottle storage and a towel radiator.

Before adding a laundry basket, scales or extra storage, mark out the areas you want to leave reachable for cleaning. Decide which loose items genuinely need a place in the bathroom and include their dimensions in the plan. Decide what needs to stay on the floor before choosing the final furniture height and depth. The drawer unit provides enclosed storage, while the recess gives washing bottles a separate destination. The practical goal is to preserve the useful floor access once the room is occupied, rather than judging it only while every surface is empty.
