Shower Screens: Designs You Could Consider For Your Shower Enclosure

Wyatt Patterson

The first thing that most people notice when they walk into a bathroom is the shower enclosure. Therefore, it is safe to say that it plays a major role in the overall aesthetic of the room. Nonetheless, it is not uncommon to find homeowners simply using a shower curtain for their shower enclosure. This may seem practical in preventing water from splashing around, but flimsy shower curtains do not make your bathroom more attractive. If you would like to improve the visual appeal, you should consider investing in a shower screen. Framed glass shower screens are the most popular option people choose, but they are not the only design available to you. Below are other alternative designs that you could consider for your shower screen.

Aluminium framed glass shower screens

As the name suggests, these types of shower screens will have aluminium framing that shower screen. Traditional aluminium shower screens are made of large panes of glass with the aluminium installed at the edges. To add a modern touch, you could have your enclosure composed of individual panels of glass that have been inserted into an aluminium framing. This creates the illusion of tiles as your shower enclosure, but what you really have is a shower screen made of numerous panels of glass that has been framed by aluminium. The dark colour of the aluminium stands out against the clear colour of the glass, giving your shower screen an eclectic flair. If you have a contemporary design in your bathroom, this type of modern enclosure would be right up your alley.

Textured glass shower screens

Another option that you could consider to make your shower enclosure stand out is textured glass. This type of glass not only provides you with privacy in your shower, but it also adds visual interest to the enclosure. You will also find that you have a wide assortment of textured glass to choose from. For instance, if you would like to create a spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom, gravitate toward textures that mimic water running down the glass.  

Glass blocks shower screens

With this type of shower enclosure, you can eliminate the need for a shower door altogether. This design is characterised by solid glass blocks that are arranged to create a wall around your shower. You can have the glass blocks uniformly arranged, or you could experiment with the arrangement to give your enclosure a unique appearance. The glass blocks can also come in an array of colours to enhance the ambience of the space.

Having a yard for the kids to play in

I knew that the moment we bought a house with a decent yard I'd be ready to start having kids. I loved playing outside as a kid and since we've been in this house I think the kids spend nearly as much time outside as they do outside. That lawn has seen my babies crawl, my toddlers start walkings, the kids kicking balls around and playing chasey all afternoon. Keeping the lawn soft and green is so important to me as it let's us spend all that time outside. I'm always looking for ways to make it feel and look soft and green.
