Separate Bathing and Showering Choices in Cove

A freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower give this Cove bathroom two washing options, with warm metal details and pale tiled-effect flooring.

Keep the option of a bath

The freestanding bath sits at a slight angle, with a brushed-gold filler beside it. Painted walls keep its surroundings simple and distinguish it from the tiled shower area.

A bath gives a different washing option alongside the other fittings. Its position, rim and surrounding surfaces matter during ordinary use: where products sit, where a towel can hang and how the bath relates to the basin. The completed arrangement gives bathing its own clear place in the room.

Freestanding bath

Bottles with a place of their own

The walk-in shower includes a recessed bottle shelf and concealed fittings. The shelf keeps products in the wall, leaving the tray as the washing surface.

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 wall-hung vanity supports the countertop bowl and provides enclosed storage. Its timber-like finish adds a warmer tone beside the pale walls and floor.

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 defined place for towels

The gold towel radiator repeats the metal finish of the bath and basin fittings. A back-to-wall toilet sits against painted boxing, while vinyl click flooring joins the room below.

A towel radiator supplies hanging levels within the room. Towels have a defined home near the washing areas rather than needing to be draped over the shower glass or furniture. Its wall position gives this everyday item a place within the layout without another freestanding object on the floor.
