A new shower? Here are five tips!

Although a bath can be wonderful to relax in, not everyone has the space and/or possibility to place it. And even if you have a bath, a shower should not be missing in the bathroom. After all, you don't take a bath early in the morning. If your shower is outdated and you need a new shower, or if you're just tired of the old one and want some change, here are five tips for choosing a new shower.

Shower cabin or a walk-in shower?
Would you choose a shower cubicle or a walk-in shower? If you want the bathroom floor to remain dry after showering, a well-fitting shower cubicle is recommended. Another advantage of a shower cubicle is that it is easier to keep the rest of the bathroom neat and clean. Shower cabins come in many shapes and sizes, and can be used in both a small and a large bathroom. The shower tray is an important part of the shower cubicle. Choose good shower trays carefully. Do you want no edges and steps in the bathroom? Then a walk-in shower is recommended. Besides the fact that you prevent tripping hazards, a walk-in shower looks chic. In addition, overlapping surfaces provide more freedom of movement and the bathroom appears much more spacious, even if you have a small bathroom. Which variant you choose is completely up to you.

Which shower will it be? Gone are the days of a single, simple shower. There are so many shower heads and shower sets to choose from these days and it is the shower head that provides the best shower experience. Choices range from standard shower heads to deluxe rain shower heads.

Think of the shower drain!
If you want the water to flow out of the shower in a stylish way, a shower drain is recommended. A shower drain is a modern version of a shower drain. In addition to this functional feature, shower drains also have a sleek design. In addition, they are a good solution for walk-in showers. But even if you have a shower cubicle without a shower tray or a shower with a shower door, it is a good idea to use a shower drain.

Choose colors carefully
It may seem obvious, but the tile color you plan to use for your new shower can make or break the design. Forget about matching tiles with another wall in the bathroom. Rather go for contrast. For example, if the bathroom is a light color, choose dark gray tiles and a striking white tile border or accent for the new shower. This will freshen up the room.

Don't forget the finishing touch
When the shower is finished, ensure a cohesive look by choosing the right accessories and bathroom textiles. Take this opportunity to replace dated towels, washcloths, guest towels, window treatments and artwork with more modern options.
