Showers, Showers, Showers

Showers are an important focal point of the bathroom. Choosing a shower that effortlessly meets your needs, whilst seamlessly complementing your bathroom design can be a challenge, but when you get it right your bathroom will feel fresh and stylish.

Exposed or recessed showers

These showers are exactly what they sound like – showers with controls that sit on your wall (exposed) or inside/flush with the wall (recessed).

If you’re styling a smaller bathroom, choosing a recessed shower will give the impression of more space.  All you’ll see is the control and a plate that neatly conceals the shower, creating clean lines and no visual clutter. 

Exposed showers are still a popular option, and in some instances can add something extra to a bathroom design. They are easy  to install and fix in case something does go wrong which is always a bonus in a busy family bathroom.

Single or dual control showers

A single control shower will operate the flow and the temperature from one dial or lever. A dual control shower will have separate controls for each. Personal preference and what is needed for your bathroom will decide this for you.

Shower head design

When it comes to choosing a shower, the shower head will be one of your most important considerations. As well as holding aesthetic appeal, the shower head you select should meet your needs and help you transform your bathroom into your personal haven.

Styling your shower

Choosing a shower that perfectly fits your needs is about more than function. If you’re renovating a bathroom you’ve probably put a great deal of thought into everything from layout to colour schemes, and while a shower may seem like a purely functional addition, the wrong unit can throw your new aesthetic out of line.

Attention to the range of finishes on offer, either; from brushed steel to vintage-style rose gold, the material your shower is made from will help integrate it seamlessly with the rest of your bathroom.

To find your perfect shower, look for the following:

Good temperature control

Make sure your shower is compatible with your system

Think about size

When choosing a shower, remember to look at all your options and make sure you are completely happy; it’s worth spending a little extra time on the decision. As the centre of your bathroom, your shower should last you – and make you happy - for years to come.
