This Balmedie bathroom replaces the former bath and shower with one generous showering area. Bringing the sanitaryware along one side gives the room a more coherent layout, supported by enclosed and recessed storage.
Room for a longer shower tray
The 1800 × 800 mm walk-in shower occupies the space formerly shared by bath and shower. A clear screen defines the wet area while keeping the pale wall finish visible. Its generous length provides usable washing space.
Storage along a simpler layout
Repositioning the toilet and basin brought the main sanitaryware along one side of the room. The basin unit provides cupboards and drawers, so toiletries can stay close to where they are used. The large mirror cabinet adds another place to put small items away, helping preserve the basin surface for daily washing.
Bottles within the wall
A false wall uses the room’s extra width to accommodate recessed shelves. Bottles can sit inside the shower wall rather than around the tray or on a projecting basket. The same marble-effect panel finish continues around the storage, making this practical feature part of the room’s consistent appearance.
A lighter finish and useful conveniences
Solid-core wall panels provide broad surfaces with fewer conventional grout joints, while vinyl click flooring continues the coordinated palette underfoot. The UPVC ceiling and downlights complete the pale finish. A towel radiator sits beside the shower entrance, and a toothbrush charging point adds a useful provision near the basin. Their value is in convenient everyday use rather than hidden functions.
