An old cupboard has become a bathroom with a bath beneath the slope and a separate curved shower. A roof window brings daylight, while panels continue across the angled ceiling.
A bath for a slower moment
The bath provides a place to take time over bathing alongside the room’s other washing facilities. Its position makes it a clear part of the layout rather than an incidental fitting. Keeping bathing products nearby and leaving the rim available for use helps this area remain practical as well as being a focus of the finished room.
A dedicated place to shower
The shower has its own defined area, with clear glass preserving the view through the room. Separating this washing space from the basin gives each fitting a clear purpose. The screen helps contain spray while leaving the surrounding finishes visible. A useful bathroom layout considers the places for washing, drying and moving between fittings together.
Storage fitted into the layout
Fitted cupboards provide enclosed storage beside the basin, keeping spare products close without putting everything on display. The worktop links the furniture and gives small items a temporary place during washing. Bringing storage into the fitted arrangement allows the room’s useful surfaces to serve daily tasks instead of becoming the permanent home for every bottle.
A dedicated place for towels
The towel radiator gives towels a defined hanging place within the room. Its bars use wall space rather than adding another item to the floor, and towels can be warmed when the radiator is running. Having a proper towel position supports the daily routine after washing and helps keep the basin and bath edges available.
Broad surfaces for ordinary care
Wall panels give the washing area broad surfaces to wipe, with fewer conventional grout joints than small tiles. Keeping a consistent finish around the fittings also makes the room visually coherent. Regular cleaning remains part of looking after the bathroom, with the practical advantage coming from the large surfaces and reduced number of separate tiled joints.
