Looking for a bathroom upgrade to spruce up your showering experience? It’s time you move on from your old-fashioned bathroom set-up and install a modern and efficient shower unit that matches both your aesthetics and needs. From spa-like steam showers to curbless walk-in units, our design team has listed down some latest shower installation ideas for your next bathroom remodel.
- Custom Shower
As the name hints, custom showers are created by professionals keeping in mind the personalized specifications given by the homeowners, hence offering limitless possibilities to have your very own bespoke bathing experience. That means you can pick if you wish to build it out of natural stone or porcelain tile, have multiple showerheads, or have built-in seating! A custom shower can be tailored to perfection in a way that it complements your bathroom’s overall aesthetics. And although such installations come with a higher price tag and some extensive construction work, they can certainly increase your home’s resale value.
- Prefabricated Shower
Popularly known as modular or pre-built showers, prefabricated showers are manufactured in read-to-install units in standardized shapes and sizes, and are usually delivered in separate pieces. Easy to fit through doorways and convenient to install, these are an ideal pick for homeowners with limited budgets in mind or those looking for a quick bathroom upgrade. Prefabricated shower units are usually made of acrylic, tempered, or fiberglass and use separate surround wall panels fitted with extra ledges and soap dishes.
- Walk-In Shower
Thanks to their ‘barrier-free’ or ‘curbless’ design, walk-in showers are a big hit. Spacious, elegant, and accessible—these sleek units can fit even in small spaces and can be designed with various features, such as rainfall showerheads, built-in shelves, steam baths, and even slip-resistant flooring that makes them easy to clean. Mind you, there is no shower door, so your unit seemingly flows into your bathroom space, offering it a seamless modern feel. Walk-in showers are also suited best for people with mobility issues and those looking for low-maintenance options.
- Tub-Shower Combo
Fancy a bubble bath? Well, a tub-shower combo might just be your thing. These types of combination units double up on bathing services, especially when space is an obstruction. The bathtub, surrounded by three walls, comes with a set of faucets that let you control both the tub faucet as well as the overhead shower. The tub-shower combos are available in both prefabricated and custom designs, catering to a wide range of styles and budgets and offering versatility like no other units. From a quick shower on a busy weekday morning to a leisurely soothing soak on a lazy weekend—these combos offer you the best of both worlds.
- Smart Shower
If you dream of a luxury bathing set-up that is tech-led, pick a smart shower. This type of unit is built by incorporating advanced technology in a way that it offers a bespoke showering experience. Picture yourself easily controlling your shower via a digital interface, where you can adjust the water pressure, temperature, and flow patterns depending on your mood and need! These elegant showers even offer voice control and integration with smart home systems sometimes for extra convenience, where your perfect bathing experience is just a click away.
- Solar Shower
Responsible bathing set-ups are all the rage these days, and for good reason. True to their name, eco-friendly or solar showers harness the power of the sun to draw hot water for your bath. They come fitted with energy-efficient solar collectors that absorb sunlight and convert it into thermal energy to heat the water. Opt for a solar shower if you are on the hunt for a shower unit which is energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective when it comes to utility bills. These are particularly great for outdoor installations like a poolside shower.
- Steam Shower
You can turn your basic bathroom into a rejuvenating spa retreat by simply installing a steam shower! These dreamy shower units come installed with a steam generator that creates a relaxing bathing experience for you and your sore muscles. A steam bath also offers great relief from skin issues and respiratory problems, promotes blood circulation, and helps open airways. You can purchase a prefabricated steam shower or get it customized—just keep in mind that it will require proper ventilation, waterproofing, and an airtight enclosure to function smoothly.
- Exposed Rain Shower
Nothing can truly match getting drenched in rain outdoors, with gentle pitter-patter soothing your ears and the soft smell of petrichor refreshing your soul. But an exposed rain shower can be counted as the next best thing. Designed to mimic the sensation of rainfall, these shower units feature a large, flat showerhead mounted right above the ceiling, letting water fall in cascades. Visually appealing, they offer the most relaxing and therapeutic showering experience but are not suitable in case you want water pressure on your neck and below.
A shower unit isn’t just a necessity—it is a space where you can relax after a long day’s work. Let our team at Livwell Collective offer you the right shower solutions and help you install the custom shower of your dreams that not only fulfills your bathing needs but also adds a touch of luxury and freshness to your bathroom.
