For homeowners decorating a bathroom with a ‘modern’ flair and looking for a sleek addition, there are numerous walk in shower enclosures that might be a great fit. There are many units that step outside the realm of strictly traditional walk in shower designs, offering great form and function all wrapped up in one complete package.
One style that deserves consideration is a frameless shower enclosure. These models offer specially bonded sides that appear to be held together with no structural frame. The result of this is a truly expansive and open appearance. Especially, when using transparent sides. This succeeds in drawing the eyes past the virtually invisible walls and highlighting designer fixtures seemingly suspended in the open. Depending on the fixtures chosen, the visual impact can be substantial. Not only can these units be done in the more traditional square or rectangular shapes, they can also be purchased in other shapes as well. For rooms with a large amount of square footage, consider the impact of a completely round walk in shower enclosure with the spray head extending down from the ceiling. For a smaller area, consider a frameless unit installed in a traditional shape against an intricately tiled wall. Again, the design aesthetics of the room, like the tile, are easily highlighted by choosing this style.
Take the time to shop around. If you are replacing an existing unit, you’ll likely be restricted to the space available, but there are plenty of great choices to consider. If you’re starting from scratch and have the opportunity to design the bathroom, the choices are virtually endless considering the variety of tiles, fixtures, wall finishes and accessories available. Whether using sleek colored tile on the wall as your focal point, or highlighting unique fixtures, this style is ready to show off your design choices, making the room both functional and beautiful.
