Bathroom planning reference: compare fixture arrangements before selecting finishes.

Plan in this order

  1. Mark shower spray, bath use and the likely wet floor area.
  2. Place towels and daily storage beyond direct splash while keeping them reachable.
  3. Choose floor transitions and drainage locations with the installer.
Worked example

Water from the shower reaches the vanity mat and toilet approach during ordinary use.

Review shower opening, screen length and floor slope together; position towels and electrical items beyond the likely splash path.

How to test it

Trace water movement and the post-shower route on the proposed layout.

Apply it to this space
Layout
Separate shower splash from vanity and place towel storage within easy reach of the shower exit.
Detail
Use slip-conscious floor finishes, moisture-tolerant joinery, and even mirror lighting.
Trade-off
A larger shower improves comfort but reduces vanity or storage space.
  • Test splash outside the shower
  • Check toiletries and towels are reachable
Warm wood cabinetry and softly lit arched wall niches
Material inspiration: warm wood tones and concealed accent lighting.
