An Open Shower and Drawer Storage in Balmedie

A 1700 mm walk-in shower and broad basin drawers give this Balmedie bathroom useful washing space, with wood-effect tile details bringing warmth to the appearance.

A dedicated place to shower

The black grid screen defines the shower beside the toilet. Concealed controls sit outside the main spray area, allowing water to 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

A small false wall at the shower end incorporates two illuminated recesses. Bottles have storage within the wall rather than around the tray.

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 800 mm vanity has two soft-close drawers. A black toothbrush charger and backlit mirror complete the basin area against its tall feature-tile strip.

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

Panels cover the shower and lower surrounding walls, with paint above and a tile strip behind the basin. Vinyl click flooring and a UPVC ceiling complete the material combination.

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.
