Luxury Walk-In Showers – Ways to Achieve It

 

Custom walk-in showers have become increasingly popular in recent years, as people are looking for ways to create more open and spacious bathrooms. Many design elements can be incorporated into a walk-in shower, including a variety of materials and construction methods. Ideal for rooms big or small, walk-in shower designs should balance the practicality of a functional bathroom and the goal of luxurious bathroom design.

One of the most important decisions when designing a walk-in shower is what type of materials to use. There are a variety of different options available, including ceramic tile, stone, glass, and metal. Each material has its unique benefits and drawbacks, so you’ll want to research and ask your contractor to make recommendations for your project and goals for your space.  

Custom walk-in showers can be square or rectangular in orientation, using unique wall angles as well. To help you design the perfect bathroom with a custom walk-in shower, we’ve compiled our top ideas below.

Make it a Large Space – If your space allows for it, renovate your bathroom for a large walk-in shower. Adorn it with two shower heads, shower wall cutouts for your bathroom products, and more. You can even include Bluetooth technology for lighting, music, and so forth. If, however, you have a small bathroom, foregoing a bathtub for a walk-in shower area allows you to maximize the space you do have, so many homeowners go the walk-in shower route for this reason alone.

Utilize Corner Space & Wall Angles – Often found in the corner of the bathroom, walk-in showers are a brilliant solution to incorporate sloping ceilings or angled walls into the room’s overall design. Think about some of the more elegant walk-in showers you’ve seen. Was it a transformation of an awkward space to a beautiful new shower area?

Create a Wet Room – Blur the boundaries between the shower and the rest of the bathroom – a wet room is when the shower and bathroom space is all in one area, with no real division. The whole room becomes the shower – another trick for small bathrooms where every inch of space is critical. If you don’t want a wet room per se, consider a low-threshold shower tray to accomplish a sleek and simple entryway for that luxurious look.

Doorless Entry – More and more custom walk-in showers have a doorless entry. Shower doors are sometimes replaced by a half-sized patrician wall to conceal plumbing and a screen to divide up a large space, providing a barrier to items you want to keep dry such as towels and washcloths. The elimination of shower doors automatically makes the bathroom feel a bit more sophisticated and it’s one less item to clean.
