As showers get bigger and more luxurious, the shower enclosure must act as a frame, showcasing the large-format marble, porcelain or ceramic tile that’s increasingly making a statement on the shower walls. For that reason, clean, simple designs and clear glass remain the hot trend in enclosures, allowing the beauty of the tile to shine through.
As the interest in personalization remains strong, consumers are mixing and matching styles, and nature continues to provide inspiration as well.
Below are some of the hottest trends in shower enclosures right now.
–Spacious shower enclosures are in high demand, with consumers seeking generously proportioned, architecturally inspired shower spaces that allow ample room for multiple showering options.
–Nature continues to inspire shower enclosures, from designs reminiscent of a cavern to bringing in warm woods as an accent to incorporating natural elements or even plant life.
— Another strong trend in shower enclosures is drawn from the industrial look in interiors, with a grid frame in matte black metal.
— Clear glass, framed in warm metals like brass and bronze, or matte black, is on trend right now.
–Consumers are mixing style trends between the design concept of the glass/tile and the enclosures, i.e. a contemporary or minimalist enclosure paired with the new industrial/new traditional fixtures in specialty finishes.
–No- or low-threshold shower enclosures are hot not only because they’re more accessible, they also appeal because the open look shows off the beautiful design elements within.
