A 1700 mm enclosure with sliding doors defines the showering area. Custom cupboards, pale vinyl flooring and blue painted upper walls create a practical arrangement with a distinctive contrast.
A dedicated place to shower
The shower has its own defined area, with clear glass preserving the view through the room. Separating this washing space from the basin gives each fitting a clear purpose. The screen helps contain spray while leaving the surrounding finishes visible. A useful bathroom layout considers the places for washing, drying and moving between fittings together.
Storage fitted into the layout
Fitted cupboards provide enclosed storage beside the basin, keeping spare products close without putting everything on display. The worktop links the furniture and gives small items a temporary place during washing. Bringing storage into the fitted arrangement allows the room’s useful surfaces to serve daily tasks instead of becoming the permanent home for every bottle.
A useful place to get ready
The mirror gives the basin area a clear focus for getting ready. Its illuminated edge adds another layer of light and makes the reflection a distinct feature in the room. Placing the mirror alongside the washing area keeps these everyday functions together, with the neighbouring surfaces available for the small items currently being used.
A dedicated place for towels
The towel radiator gives towels a defined hanging place within the room. Its bars use wall space rather than adding another item to the floor, and towels can be warmed when the radiator is running. Having a proper towel position supports the daily routine after washing and helps keep the basin and bath edges available.
Water where it is needed
The shower handset offers control over where the water is directed during washing. It is also useful for rinsing the bath or shower area afterwards. Keeping the handset near the main washing position makes this flexibility available without another fitting elsewhere in the room, supporting both everyday use and the ordinary task of washing down surfaces.
