How to Style a Shower System Regardless of a Shower’s Size
Regardless of your shower’s size, here are bathroom design ideas to help you build the perfect shower system for your own home or for a high-end multifamily housing complex or building. From a walk-in shower, tub-shower combo, curbless shower, to a rainfall shower, or some other type entirely, there are design tools to help create a cohesive look in the bathroom with superior functionality. The steps are basic, but important. First, match the finishes of the shower hardware with the rest of the bathroom. This includes the showerhead, shower handles, towel bar, vanity pulls, and bathroom faucet. The second step to style your shower system is to mix and match patterns. That can be achieved by using similar or complimentary tiles, colors, shower benches, and niches. Finally, choose the number of handles, jets, and various types of shower heads to create the ideal shower system.
Modern and Minimalism
Black, white, and grayscale are the minimalist’s favorite colors. Sharp, straight, sleek lines walk hand-in-hand with these neutral colors. As the name implies, minimalism believes that less is more. The Single-Handle Tub and Shower Trim Set only needs one handle to do the trick. Its sleek, straight lines and matte black finish bring a tub-shower combo together beautifully with the rest of a modern bathroom. The rainfall showerhead is an excellent modern choice because it’s designed with straight lines in mind, bending at a ninety-degree angle. Paired well would be the Pioneer Two-Handle Lavatory Faucet, because it comes in a matte black finish and has only straight angles. Combine both for a shower system for two people, or for one spa-like experience.
The contrast of white tile upon a black shower set sets the tone. Using marble or subway tiles, the white tiles on the shower walls complement the black metals beautifully. Using the same tiles as the rest of the bathroom blends the look together. This makes your bathroom look larger and more cohesive. The same colors and tile patterns pair well with a walk-in shower, and ideally, only the shower floor would match the tiles of the walls. This catches the eye and visually extends the look of the bathroom. Larger walk-in modern showers will have niches and shower benches, but the same rules apply.
Traditional
Traditional bathrooms often favor gold, brushed nickel, or bronze finishes on the bathroom hardware. Paired with the metal, earthy tones like brown, green, or creme bring it all together. Unlike minimalism, the traditional look favors curvy lines and intricate details. The Single-Handle Shower Trim Set comes in chrome, PVD brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and Moroccan bronze that will complement a traditional aesthetic nicely. The rounded edges and wavy lines would pair well with the Two-Handle Bathroom Faucet, which also comes in the same finishes. Also pairing two together, even in a standard size shower (one on each side), turns a shower into a shower system to envy.
Transitional
For a look that combines traditional and modern features, try cracked marble with earthy colors or a ceramic mosaic. Shower walls extend to the rest of the bathroom, so a colorful marble wall or green tile would pair well. To move to transitional, try bold colors. For example, an emerald green wall with rounded tiles or a curvy niche with a bamboo shower bench would be gorgeous. Pioneer has water jets as well as standard trim sets and wall-mount, or ceiling-mount shower heads, mix and match these to create a haven from the outside world, right in the home.
Conclusion
Tiles, colors, and patterns bring the shower and faucet finishes together, regardless of your shower size. All types of showers should adhere to the same design rules as the rest of the bathroom for the greatest continuity, highly desirable in a bathroom for both the feel and resale value. Black metals pair well with a white wall in a modern look, and brushed nickel or bronze finishes pair well with a green, brown, or creme wall in a traditional look. After the look is decided, mix and match shower heads, trim sets, and water jets for a shower system the homeowner or you will love for a very long time.
