Walkthrough checklist
- Identify tight gaps around the WC, vanity and shower screen.
- Choose fittings and ledges that do not create unnecessary dirt traps.
- Keep access panels and service points reachable after joinery is installed.
Worked example
A wall-hung vanity leaves a tight gap beside the toilet that a mop cannot reach.
Check cleaning tool access at the planned fixture spacing and simplify concealed corners or provide a removable access detail.
How to test it
Walk through a normal clean and confirm tools can reach each junction.
Apply it to this space
- Layout

- Detail
- Use wall-hung dispensers where maintainable and a bright mirror light.
- Trade-off
- Permanent individual shelves improve organization but complicate cleaning and turnover.
- Check concurrent use and door privacy
- Confirm surfaces dry and clean easily
