Explore the ideas
Plan in this order
- Mark shower spray, bath use and the likely wet floor area.
- Place towels and daily storage beyond direct splash while keeping them reachable.
- 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
- Keep the shower at the end and put towel hooks within reach of the dry exit.
- Detail
- Use a mirrored cabinet and a bright, even mirror light.
- Trade-off
- A larger vanity offers storage but narrows standing and door clearance.
- Check door and shower-screen movement
- Confirm towels remain outside splash area
