Bathroom types
Minimalist bathrooms and where the clutter actually goes
What decides the layout
Recessed niches in the shower and above the basin remove the need for bottles on the floor and rims.
A full-depth vanity with drawers rather than a cupboard means the back of the unit stays usable rather than becoming a dead zone.
Fewer materials, more repetition, one tile, one metal finish and one timber tone is the discipline that makes the look hold together.

Frequently asked
How do you hide the toilet brush and bin?
In a plinth recess or a slim tall unit. If a minimal scheme has no plan for them, they end up on show anyway.
Are handleless units practical in a bathroom?
Push-to-open mechanisms work well, but they need adjusting properly and a finish that does not show fingerprints.
