Some rooms are better suited to an unhurried bath than to standing beneath a shower. This former Aberdeen cloakroom has a ceiling just over 1800 mm high. A freestanding bath gives it a new purpose, and a handheld outlet provides a way to rinse without needing an overhead shower. Wood-effect tiles give the bathing area a distinct backdrop.
A low ceiling still needs checking around the bath. In a comparable room, mark where a person stands to fill it, steps in and gets out. Compare the internal bath shape, the reachable outlet and the space needed for a towel. Check the entrance too, because the room has to feel usable before anyone sits down. The Aberdeen scheme shows how choosing a narrower brief for an awkward room can produce a better place to bathe. The bath, rinse outlet and finishes all support that choice.
