this is the only bathroom on level 1 of our maisonette, and it functions as the common bathroom for the home. when planning the renovation, we noticed many homeowners choose to remove the shower here and convert the space into a powder room. visually, that option feels cleaner and more guest-facing, especially for a main-level toilet. 
we considered doing the same, but eventually decided to keep the shower. one reason was flexibility. if our parents ever move in with us in the future, having a full bathroom on the main level would make daily routines much easier and safer. it’s a decision you may not need immediately, but one that’s reassuring to have. 
the other reason was practical living. this bathroom doubles as the space where we shower our pets. having a proper wet area on level 1 makes clean-ups far more manageable, especially after outdoor walks or grooming days, without needing to move upstairs. the bathroom is kept neutral and simple — soft grey tiles, warm wood cabinetry, and minimal fittings that are easy to maintain over time. small details were intentional. the toilet paper holder has a flat top surface, which doubles as a spot to place a phone or small items — a detail that gets used more often than expected. this bathroom may not be the most styled space in the home, but it quietly supports guests, daily routines, future family needs, and even our pets. sometimes, keeping things practical is the most thoughtful design choice.
