Why shower glass is a clear winner

Shower glass doors are the secret weapon for elevating your bathroom. They open up the space, making it feel bigger and brighter. Plus, they’re easy to clean, long-lasting and way more stylish than a clingy curtain. 

Opens up your bathroom like never before

A glass shower door transforms the vibe of your bathroom by creating a sense of openness and flow. Unlike shower curtains that block off part of the room, glass lets light bounce around, making even the smallest bathrooms feel airy and spacious. 

Clear glass gives you a modern, minimalist look, while frosted or textured glass offers privacy without shutting out the light. Whichever you choose, your bathroom will feel more inviting and expansive.

Easy maintenance for everyday life

Shower glass doors are designed to make life simpler. Unlike fabric curtains that can stain, rip or grow mould, glass is easy to keep clean. A quick wipe-down after use keeps water spots at bay, and with a protective coating, maintenance is even easier. Glass also stands up to years of use without sagging, discolouring or wearing out, so you get a durable, long-lasting solution. That’s less time spent scrubbing and more time enjoying your bathroom.

Designs to suit your vibe

Shower glass doors come in so many styles; there’s something for every bathroom and personality. Whether you’re into clean lines or something a little more classic, there’s a design to fit your taste. Let’s dive into some favourites and why they might just be the right match for you.

Frameless doors: the no-fuss option

Want a bathroom that looks like it stepped out of a magazine? Frameless shower doors are sleek, modern and all about letting light do its thing. With no bulky frames getting in the way, these doors make your space feel bigger and brighter. It’s the ultimate choice for anyone who loves a minimalist vibe. Plus, fewer nooks and crannies mean easier cleaning, so you can spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying.

Framed doors: a sturdy classic

Framed shower doors bring a bit of timeless charm to the mix. The metal frame adds extra durability and gives you the chance to add some personality with finishes like chrome or black. They’re solid, practical and add a stylish touch without being over-the-top. If you’re after something classic and dependable, this is your go-to.

Pivot doors: the swing you didn’t know you needed

Love the idea of a traditional door? Pivot shower doors are like regular doors but have been reimagined for your bathroom. They swing open with ease, giving you plenty of space to step in and out. Whether you go for a framed or frameless design, pivot doors bring a mix of function and flair. Just make sure your bathroom has enough room for that graceful swing.

Shower cabins: the all-in-one wonder

If you’re looking for a complete shower setup, a shower cabin might be just the thing. These enclosed units combine the door, walls and base in one neat package. Ideal for quick installations or when you want a cohesive look, they’re available in a range of shapes and sizes. From corner units to spacious walk-ins, shower cabins make it easy to create a dedicated shower space that works for you. Bonus? They’re great for keeping the water contained, so no splashes on your bathroom floor.

How to find your glass slipper (aka the right shower door)

Picking the right shower glass door might feel like diving into an endless pool of options, but it’s easier than you think. It’s all about finding the one that fits your space, style and daily routine. Let’s break it down step by step to help you land your dream door.

Size matters (and so does the layout)

Before you get swept away by aesthetics, take a good look at your shower space. Measure it carefully for width, height and any quirky angles or obstructions. Got a snug bathroom? Sliding doors are a game-changer. Plenty of space to play with? Pivot doors can swing wide open without bumping into your sink or loo. The key is to balance practicality with what makes sense for your layout.

Choose your glass vibe

Clear, frosted, textured or tinted, your choice of glass can totally change the feel of your bathroom. Clear glass keeps things open and bright, making it great for smaller spaces. Frosted or textured glass gives you a bit of privacy without blocking out the light (ideal if you share a bathroom).

Think about the frame

Are you team frameless or framed? Frameless doors are sleek and modern, while framed options add structure and charm. If you prefer a clean, minimalist look, frameless is a no-brainer. Love a bit of detail? A framed door lets you play with finishes like matte black, brushed gold or polished chrome to match your bathroom’s personality.

Think about access and mobility

How you get in and out of your shower matters more than you might think. If you’ve got limited mobility or want something accessible for all, sliding doors or cabins with wide entry points are a practical choice. Pivot doors can also work well if they swing fully open without being obstructed. 

Make your bathroom even cosier with these additions

Once you’ve chosen the right shower glass door, it’s time to add those finishing touches that turn your bathroom into a welcoming, cosy space. From soft textiles to clever lighting, here are some simple ideas to take your bathroom up a notch.

Soft towels and bath mats

Nothing says comfort like plush, fluffy towels waiting for you after a hot shower. Choose towels in calming colours that match your bathroom’s vibe, and don’t forget a soft bath mat to keep your feet warm and dry. 

Lighting that sets the mood

Bright, harsh lighting isn’t doing your bathroom any favours. Add a few layers of lighting to make it feel more inviting. A dimmable ceiling light is great for versatility, while a soft-glow wall sconce or LED strip near your shower adds a touch of warmth. You’ll love the cosy glow as you unwind at the end of the day.

Greenery that thrives

Bring life to your bathroom with plants that thrive in humid spaces. Ferns, spider plants and pothos are great options that don’t need too much natural light. Pop them in stylish pots or hang them from the ceiling to add a fresh, natural touch to your space.

Storage that works for you

A clutter-free bathroom is a cosy bathroom. Add storage baskets, shelves or cabinets to keep your toiletries and towels neatly organised. Look for space-saving solutions like over-the-door hooks or wall-mounted shelves if you’re working with a smaller bathroom.

Candles and scents

Transform your bathroom into a personal spa with candles and soothing scents. Place a few candles around your bath or shower area for a calming atmosphere, and use essential oil diffusers or room sprays in fragrances like lavender, eucalyptus or vanilla. It’s an instant mood lifter.
