Main advantages

The cubicles are suitable for bathrooms of all sizes, most often they are placed in the corner, which leaves considerable space for the rest of the plumbing and furniture. The most popular models are distinguished by glass doors, but there is also a more compact version – a small pallet and a regular curtain. When choosing a booth, it is worth considering the depth of the pallet and the height of the sides. If there are small children in the house, you can choose deeper models so that you can bathe your baby.

Tip: not everyone is comfortable taking a shower in a booth with transparent doors, frosted glass looks more comfortable.

Advantages:

less water is spent on the shower, as opposed to taking a bath;
many cabins are equipped with a hydromassage function;
taking a shower is more hygienic, since the dirt is washed off immediately;
modern models also have a radio, telephone, etc..

The assortment in stores is great – for every taste, color and wallet. Cabins differ in shape, size, material, style, etc. Most often they are installed in small-sized rooms, however, there is a place for them in the bathroom, combined with a bathroom.

In addition, shower cabins are distinguished by the presence or absence of a pallet. However, it should be borne in mind that this element has rather high sides, which are difficult to overcome for children and the elderly. In this situation, the simplest option is more appropriate – a drain on the floor and the absence of sides. In addition, the risk of injury is reduced as the pallets are quite slippery..

How to choose

The choice of a shower cabin model depends on the style of the bathroom, its layout and dimensions. The first thing to look out for before buying is the price. Cabins with glass doors are more expensive than simpler plastic models, but they also look much prettier. In addition, for a variety of bathroom designs with a shower, you can choose a model of an unusual shape..

The most compact option is the corner one. Such a booth saves space, and also fits into any interior. Corner models can be very small or quite cumbersome, so when placing them, it is worth considering in advance the location and size of the rest of the plumbing.

The rectangular shape is considered classic, it is also easily suitable for any shape of the bathroom, however, such models are not compact. The bathroom should be large enough to accommodate a rectangular stall. Such a shower is not placed in a corner, but is placed along one of the walls..

The radius model will look original, glass options look especially impressive. The doors themselves can be either transparent or matte or with patterns. A round stall can be placed anywhere, however, like rectangular showers, it requires a fairly large area. Due to its unusual shape, taking a shower becomes like bathing under a waterfall.

However, the largest showers are five-walled. They are spacious and stylish, but they require a lot of space. It should be borne in mind that after installing such a cabin, there should be enough space for free movement around the room..

Glass showers

Glass is an incredibly popular material. Despite its high cost, it has many advantages:

environmental friendliness;
ease of care;
hygiene;
resistance to water, mold;
bacteria do not live on the glass surface;
does not overload the interior;
visually looks easier;
does not interfere with the penetration of light;
variety of colors and ornaments.

Glass shower cabins can vary in shape and size, so it is not difficult to choose the right option for the bathroom interior. There is also no top in glass booths, which means that the glass will not fog up, since the steam does not linger..

Glass fits into any design, be it strict classics, minimalism or ultra-modern hi-tech. Contrary to popular belief, glass is a durable and reliable material that can withstand impacts. Modern cabins are made of heavy-duty tempered glass. Even if the impact damages the glass walls, they will not crumble into fragments, they will only be covered with a web of cracks..

Modern style

One of the most popular styles in modern design. Unlike minimalism or hi-tech, more daring combinations and decor are allowed in modern. The shapes of furniture and shower stalls can be either simple or smooth shapes. An Art Nouveau booth diversifies even the simplest furnishings and a small bathroom.

Features of small rooms

Bathrooms in Khrushchevs do not differ in size, sometimes you can barely put a bathtub and a washbasin there, and a narrow washing machine under it. You can slightly expand the room by demolishing the wall, combining it with a bathroom. But even in this case, you have to adhere to minimalism, choosing only the necessary and not focusing on the decor..

What can be placed:

compact bath or small shower;
sink;
wall cabinet with a mirror;
toilet bowl;
hooks for towels;
laundry basket (if there is room left);
heated towel rail.

This is at its best. At worst, no more than 3 sq. meters. In such a tiny room, you can put a shower stall with glass doors. The glossy surface visually enlarges the space, making it lighter and lighter. Mirrors and glossy tiles on the walls will also create an expanding effect..

In small rooms, do not use too bright or dark colors. Light surfaces and vertical stripes on the walls will visually enlarge the bathroom. If you want contrasting combinations, you cannot take more than three colors. The decor is minimal. These can be floor rugs, patterned curtains, accent wall, bright towels.

If the dimensions allow, there are no restrictions on the dimensions of the shower stall, colors, materials and interior styles. If you wish, you can order a model according to an individual sketch, such a shower will fully meet all the requirements and your taste. Cabins-boxes are the most suitable option, they can be easily placed even in the center of the room and be sure that water will not be spilled on the floor and spray will not fall on the walls.

The spacious room allows you to place everything you need right up to the bathroom. Instead of hanging cabinets for storing what you need, you can put tall pencil cases along the walls. Low pedestals located along the perimeter of the walls look stylish. They can be floor-standing or wall-mounted..

The design of a spacious bathroom is not limited only to a light range, you can safely use any shades, even such rich and bright ones as red, orange, emerald. Black also looks impressive, but you should definitely dilute it with softer colors..

Decoration Materials

The choice of finishes depends on the financial capabilities and the style of the interior. However, the most important parameter is not the elitism of the materials, but their practicality. Floor and wall coverings must withstand constant exposure to moisture and steam, temperature extremes.

The easiest option for finishing is ceramic tiles. It is a durable, practical and environmentally friendly material. Due to the variety of colors and textures, the tiles are suitable for any interior design. There are monochrome colors, as well as options with drawings, ornaments, a mirror surface, mother of pearl, imitation of a mosaic or stained glass window. The tile also differs in shape, it is not only rectangles or squares, but also circles, octagons, etc..

Another worthy option for floor and wall cladding is natural stone or porcelain stoneware. These materials are expensive, but their durability, strength and durability are well worth the money. The stone can be combined with other materials such as plaster. Porcelain stoneware can be of different colors, as well as imitate malachite, jasper and other stones. But the most exquisite is marble. Marble walls and floors are luxury and respectable. Marble can withstand any stress, but it should be borne in mind that the polished surface can be scratched with sharp objects.

For finishing the ceiling, a stretch fabric is considered the most optimal. Firstly, the film is wide enough so that no seams remain on the ceiling after installation. If the bathroom is very large, then several canvases are required. So that the seam is not visible, it is worth choosing glossy options. PVC film can withstand about 100 liters of water in case the neighbors flood you upstairs. If this attack occurs, it is enough to carefully pierce the canvas and drain the water. The PVC ceiling itself will take its original shape, but the satin canvases will have to be completely changed.
