Space saver

Right: The pinnacle of versatility, an over-bath shower lets you have the best of both worlds while only taking up the footprint of your tub – perfect if space is tight. Opt for concealed fittings to prevent the shower from becoming obtrusive. ‘By hiding the pipes within the wall cavity, the fittings sit flush to the wall, reducing the possibility of bumping into them when showering. It also creates a sleek finished look,’ says Jo Sangster, senior designer at Ripples.
