Showers are delightful not only because of their simplicity of use and design, but also for their practical functions. They are the perfect tool for showering with a partner, bathing with a child, and saving water. By choosing the right accessories, we can create a beautiful Scandinavian-style interior. Depending on the manufacturer, you can choose different types.
Type of Door Opening and Dimensions
With a bath, we don't have much choice regarding how to get into it. Baths are generally high and do not have any accessibility features for people with disabilities. The situation is different with showers. One method of door installation is the hinged style. What does that mean? The doors open outward from the cabin. There are also models where the doors open inward. Another solution is sliding doors. These work well in a small bathroom and don't pose any problems.
Once popular were accordion-style folding doors. This trend is slowly becoming obsolete, but some people still choose this option. It is certainly a convenient method of installation, and it looks old-school and designer. The walk-in system is also popular - here, they completely forwent doors, but everything is constructed so that water does not spill outside, thanks to a properly fixed drain and profiling.
The dimensions of our shower cubicle play an important role. When choosing a model and looking for it in the shop, measure everything precisely, so that a square shower cubicle fits in your nook or the place where it will be located. Remember also that different shower cubicle types require consideration of various parameters. For corner ones, wall length is important, while for oval ones - the circle's diameter.
Controls and Accessories
It's said the devil is in the details, which is why accessories in our bathroom play such an important role. What to do to make it look better? Just use your imagination! A shower cubicle may look ordinary, but placing rugs on the floor can enliven our interior and add color. Hooks, flowers, holders, and other knick-knacks can help us. They can even be scented candles or colorful lights. But accessories are not just for the bathroom. They include elements of our shower too. What can we buy to have a designer shower?
We have several options to choose from. One of them is a radio. It allows you to listen to your favorite station. Additionally, some cabins have the option to listen via AUX, meaning you can connect a player. This way, you are sure to hear only what you really like. You can also mount the showerhead in various ways. One method is to choose a rainfall showerhead, meaning installing it on the ceiling. This way, you can comfortably rinse conditioner from your hair and soap from your entire body. Installing a rainfall showerhead is not expensive.
Who doesn't dream of a massage? For this purpose, you can choose the hydromassage function. Simply install massage jets, which, under high pressure, provide pleasure. Similar devices are found in swimming pools. Our cabin can be equipped with a thermostat, thus having a sauna function. Advanced shower cabins with many additional functions require separate controls that manage all parameters such as temperature, pressure, and radio. We use an electric panel or remote for this.
A Bathroom Tailored to Your Needs
To feel good in our home, we need our personalized touches. What exactly does that mean? Each of us has favorite colors or elements. Some like panels, while others prefer tiles. In reality, tastes vary. A bathroom tailored to our needs should make us feel good and comfortable entering it. It's worth paying attention to ecological aspects, like what materials were used during production, what cosmetics will be in our bathroom, and which towels we will use.
Being eco-friendly also means using cleaning products for the bathroom that do not harm nature. Instead of popular advertised products, you can choose vinegar or lemon for this purpose. More and more products with good ingredients are appearing in stores, which are not only better for the environment but also for your health. This is especially important for people suffering from skin allergies, as traditional shop products may cause unpleasant irritations.
It's also worth choosing bio towels. Ecological organic towels made from combed 100% bio cotton will inspire anyone who cares about a healthy lifestyle and does not want to give up body care after a pleasant bath. A good alternative, which has become fashionable recently, is towels with bamboo fiber. Another kind is Egyptian cotton towels. Their features are softness, durability, and elasticity. Another important aspect is the certifications they have. The most prestigious and recognizable is the globally known Oeko-Tex Standard 100, as well as safe for children or safe for infants certification.
