A shower is so much more than just a place to get clean. It’s where you wake up, wind down, clear your mind, or recharge after a long day. That’s why getting your shower setup right is absolutely essential, it should suit not only your bathroom’s style but also your lifestyle.
Start by thinking about how your shower will be used. Is it the main family shower that needs to be practical and durable? A compact yet efficient ensuite setup? Or are you dreaming of a luxurious walk-in sanctuary for long, relaxing soaks under a rainfall head?
Shower enclosures come in a wide range of shapes and sizes from square and rectangular to curved and walk-in open styles. When planning your space, consider whether you want a framed, semi-frameless, or frameless glass design. Frameless showers offer a sleek, modern look, while framed options can be more budget-friendly and better suited to busy family bathrooms.
You’ll also find stylish upgrades like coloured stone shower trays, custom tiled walls & floors, and single glass panels that create a more open, seamless feel. Don’t forget the finer details waste, door handles, and hardware finishes can all be selected to match your tapware and tie the look together.
It’s important to choose a shower system that complements your enclosure, layout, and water pressure. Whether you’re opting for a dual rail setup, a rainfall showerhead, or a sleek wall-mounted hand shower, make sure the mixer placement is practical ideally somewhere you can reach without getting drenched as the water warms up!
Smart storage within the shower is a must. Built-in niches, shelves, or corner caddies keep shampoos, soaps, and other essentials within easy reach, helping your shower stay clutter-free and user-friendly.
Your shower should work hard for your routine while offering a little daily indulgence. With so many options in design, size, fixtures, and finishes, taking the time to plan carefully will ensure your shower becomes a standout feature in your bathroom, both beautiful and brilliantly functional.
