Just like fashion and everything else in life, décor also has emerging trends. Gone are the days of dingy shower cubicles and minute shower heads, today the modern shower is earning its rightful place in the most stylish bathrooms. Kate van Niekerk, marketing manager of Tile Africa, shares her expertise to help you bring your outdated shower in line with the latest trends and designs.
What are the latest shower trends?
Square, frameless showers are the latest trend, with clear glass to show off the tiles and mosaics. “It is now super fashionable to showcase the whole package and not just the shower door,” says Kate.
A new range of shower roses and hand-held showers reduces water consumption without affecting the water pressure and amount of water delivered. A water flow regulator maintains a predefined, constant flow rate regardless of the line pressure. The regulator reacts to water pressure changes and adjusts to decrease the amount of water passing through while the flow-rate remains the same. Pressure variations are compensated for and water consumption can be reduced from 30 to 10 litres per minute.
What is the latest look when it comes to shower heads?
Shower heads, previously available as small shower roses, now come in larger sizes, making this contemporary water spout a stand-out feature in the shower.
“With the invention of water-saving shower heads, consumers can now spoil themselves with larger shower heads as the size of the shower head doesn’t influence the amount of water being consumed,” she says.
What has inspired these shower trends?
Modern bathroom ware is developed with the scarcity of natural resources in mind. The latest products with green credentials are designed to make it easier for consumers to conserve the environment.
The contemporary bathroom has become less of a personal area and more of an experience of luxury and relaxation. “The whole package of modern tiles, mosaics and listelli encourages us to be more daring with clear versus frosted glass showers,” says Kate.
