Shower Storage Built into the Wall in Aberdeen

Shower Refurbishment, Aberdeen

A storage cupboard above the toilet and deep shower recesses give this Aberdeen shower room useful places for belongings without another floor-standing cabinet.

A dedicated place to shower

A black-edged clear enclosure replaces the former shower with a slightly larger washing area. The handset shower sits against the pale wall-panel finish.

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 false wall conceals the soil ventilation pipe and toilet cistern. It also creates two deep shower recesses, a small shelf and a cupboard above the toilet.

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

A compact basin cupboard supports the countertop bowl, with an illuminated mirror above. Products used at the basin have storage directly below it.

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.

Broad surfaces for everyday upkeep

Wall panels, vinyl click flooring and a UPVC ceiling join the surfaces into a consistent finish. The towel radiator has pipework coming through the wall.

Wall panels give broad surfaces to wipe, with fewer conventional grout joints than a fully tiled wall. Their continuous finish connects the washing areas visually. Normal care still includes fittings, edges and joints, but the wall surface itself avoids the grid of grout associated with smaller tiles.
