Modern shower rooms

rounds up the key themes that will take your space from simply practical to seriously epic

CREATE AN INNER VISION

think beyond tiles when looking for ways to introduce pattern to the walls in showering areas. Decorative surfaces are making big waves in shower enclosures, ranging from completely waterproof wallpapers that allow you to turn your enclosure into an avant-garde art installation to surfaces, such as antiqued glass or dramatic, heavily veined marbles that deliver pattern on a major scale. Make no mistake – this is about turning your shower enclosure into a can’t-bemissed feature and injecting colour and personality into what is often a cold and sterile space.
