Shower Power

"Showers are taking on a fresh new look"

- By Anél Lewis

When curating a bathroom that’s not only beautiful and functional, but also provides a much-needed retreat from the new work-from-home environment, even small changes to your shower can elevate this space to spa-like levels.

As people spend more time at home, bathrooms have transformed into personal spa experiences. Glass shower doors with minimal framing, spacious showers with integrated seating and decorative tiles combine to create unique and restorative spaces.

PERSONAL STYLE

To ensure that home owners enjoy a bathroom that reflects their individual style and meets their changing needs, GROHE has developed curated bathroom concepts. Called Perfect Match, this offers product combinations that bring together form and function.

Harmony is created with the careful selection of taps that match the shape of the ceramics, and shower systems that blend with their accessories.

The team from LIXIL Africa says concealed cisterns ensure that this bathroom element is unobtrusive. Hidden within the wall or behind the tiling, this is a good option if you want a contemporary aesthetic with minimal distractions from other aspects in the room.

Artmar Natural Stone says bathrooms are being extended outdoors to offer an outdoor shower and relaxation area surrounded by greenery and natural stone. The same bathroom tile is often used in the outdoor area to allow for a seamless flow between the two spaces.
