Storage beneath the Stairs and a Separate Shower in Aberdeen

A custom mirror and basin beneath the slope make this Aberdeen room’s awkward staircase area useful, with a walk-in shower on the taller side.

A dedicated place to shower

Concealed shower controls are outside the main spray area. A recessed shelf provides bottle storage within the wall, with clear glass marking the tray edge.

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.

Essentials put away near the basin

The basin sits beneath the sloping section and has two drawers below. The custom mirror follows the available space under the stairs rather than covering the window.

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 simpler outline at the toilet

The wall-hung toilet leaves the floor beneath visible. Its position alongside the window and basin uses the lower end of the room for everyday fittings.

Concealing pipework within the completed arrangement keeps the toilet area visually tidy. The neighbouring surfaces and furniture provide a clear backdrop around the fitting. This small part of the layout matters alongside the larger washing area, helping the basin, toilet and storage read as one considered room.

Broad surfaces for everyday upkeep

Bathroom panels cover most walls, with vinyl click flooring below. The UPVC ceiling has integrated downlights, and a tall towel radiator supplies several hanging levels.

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.
