Shower and Bath details

Bathroom

Towel radiators for warm dry towels.

Under floor heating (will be house wide anyway, but make the bathroom areas on their own circuits.

Drawer(s) that have integrated power sockets for hair dryer, elec toothbrush etc.

Shower

Put shelves in the shower walls to put shower stuff. Also have one at a hight good for girls that shave their legs in the shower.

The shower(s) should have a hand held shower nozzle. Whether additional or not to the main shower head. The shower below has a separate shower nozzle and a wide high shelf (that is therefore less likely to get and stay wet.)
– it’s make sense for the shelf t to have no grout (be one piece of something like slate or marble) and to also have a slight slope into the shower.

Have a look at how to place shower controls & the idea of a glass shower wall.

Bath

Also like the idea of shelves on the wall behind the bath (depending on where the bath goes)

Not sure if this idea means a very inefficient cupboard, but a cool idea to take those big things off the kitchen surfaces.

Check out this roll-around cabinet that tucks underneath your countertop !

Coat hooks for the boot room

Spotted this great idea on http://www.thecoolhunter.net/house.

Fab idea, nice wooden, bulky, chunky bits of wood to hang coats, bags, hats etc. off in the cloakroom (or wherever ends up being the room for all that stuff as you come in and out.

I like that they aren’t all in the usual straight line.

  • The current plan is a utility room at the end of the spur. So ground level at the southern tip.
