Add impact with bold tiles
Small space showers can be just as grand as large wet rooms. Add impact with bold tiling that will define the space, and keep the shower fittings minimal so that the look is simple and uncluttered.
Choose decorative mosaics
For real impact in a wet room, clad a shower wall entirely in decorative tiles – jewel-like mosaics, textured surfaces for a modern take on Moorish. Partner the look with simple brassware so the tiles do all the talking.
Go for a tactile, hard-working surface
Tadelakt is a type of render that creates a finish not unlike concrete. Perfect for shower rooms, it’s hard-wearing, flexible and less prone to hairline cracking than a standard render. Plus, it’s available in a wide range of shades so you can pick a colour to suit your bathroom scheme.
Make a walled walk-in shower
Build a solid wall to create a classic-style walk-in shower, no curtain or screen required. Traditional white brick tiles are a smart and inexpensive way to cover a large expanse of wall and work well teamed with other coloured or patterned tiles or fittings.
Use glass to screen off a shower area
‘Full-height glass panels can be channelled into the ceiling, floor and wall and bonded with silicone to make a bespoke frameless enclosure that’s almost invisible – perfect for creating the illusion of space in a shower room,’ says Del Smith at 23 Degrees. ‘With an expanse of glass like this, choose an anti-calcium coating to make it easy to clean.’
Create a home spa
Once, a shower was just a quick way to wash, but modern models are all about total wellbeing. Go for an open shower and engross yourself in the tranquil surroundings. For even more luxury, opt for the RainSky E shower from Dornbracht. It has sequences for invigorating, reviving and relaxing, and includes coloured light and scent settings. Bliss.
Build in shower storage
‘A built-in alcove is perfect for shower essentials,’ says James Lentaigne from Drummonds. ‘Illuminate them with small spotlights for more impact.’
Play with pattern
Thinking laterally about how you lay your tiles can change their entire look. Mix scales and textures or take inspiration from wood flooring or brick patterns to give standard tiles a new look. Clad an entire shower room space in the same way to make a real style statement. Here, black tiles throughout and a glass screen adds to the wet room feel.
Utilise a hidden space
A shower doesn’t need to take up much room, so it’s the perfect way to make the most of unused space. Slot one in in a walk in cupboard or under the stairs. ‘Supplying water to the shower is relatively easy, but if your shower is below drain level, in a basement perhaps, then you may need to install a pump to take waste water away.’ says Hugo Tugman from Architect Your Home.
Install a cool column shower
Freestanding shower columns are a big trend, and work well whether in a modern wet room or standing alone like this quirky hallway shower.
