A Shower and Practical Basin Storage in Portlethen

Repositioning the basin beside the toilet creates space for a walk-in shower in this Portlethen bathroom, with pale grey tiles connecting the finished areas.

A dedicated place to shower

A black grid screen defines the shower boundary. The concealed controls sit outside the main spray area, so the water can be started before entering.

A defined showering area keeps the washing routine focused in one part of the room. Clear glass preserves a view through to the surrounding finishes while marking the shower boundary. The arrangement makes the relationship between the shower and nearby fittings easy to understand when entering the room.

Bottles with a place of their own

The built-in shower recess places bottles in the wall rather than on the tray. The black trim connects it visually with the shower screen and fittings.

Recessed shelves hold shower products within the wall instead of projecting into the washing area. Shampoo and shower gel can stay away from the tray or bath edge, with the things needed for washing close by. The storage becomes part of the room rather than an added basket.

Essentials put away near the basin

The waterproof vanity gives products a place below the basin. Its position beside the toilet creates a compact washing wall, with storage close to daily use.

Enclosed storage gives daily toiletries and spare supplies a place behind doors. Products can be returned after use rather than gathering around the tap or across the worktop. Keeping storage close to the washing area also reduces the need for an extra freestanding cabinet in the room.

A place to get ready

The illuminated mirror uses the side wall, with downlights above and a UPVC ceiling. A black towel radiator repeats the finish of the screen and tap.

A mirror at the washing area provides a reflection for the small tasks that begin or end the day. Its position makes use of the available wall rather than adding another piece of floor furniture. The basin and surrounding surface remain the practical centre of this part of the room.
