subject: Express Some Style In Your Shower Room [print this page] Each room in your house has some potential to showcase your personal style, and your shower room is no exception. The shower room is one of the rooms in your home that people may often use as a personal space or oasis. Although others may use it, there is some sort of a feeling of a personal space or the concept of a retreat that is attached to it. The reason may be, that, for the majority of the time, the shower room is used solely by individuals, and the activities are indeed private. To many, enjoying the comforts of a luxuriating bath or shower is a pleasure that is unsurpassed.
To many homeowners and builders, the bathroom is the new frontier for design. In urban apartments, and even at large secluded estates, special consideration is given to the shower room.
Old design rules are being broken, as space and materials are used in very dramatic ways, and the original concept of the bathroom is re-invented. Bathrooms are no longer intended or used for utilitarian purposes, but are designed for everything, from solitude, and in some instances, they may even be used for entertainment. These rooms were previously considered as one of the most functional of rooms of the home, but lately they are evolving into the most fanciful and sumptuous of the living spaces.
Today, the shower room can be used to combine some function with style, and it can incorporate different materials, surfaces, and textures, that were previously confined for use in other areas of your home. Additionally, there are many other functional elements that may be installed in your bathroom, including fixtures, fittings, cabinets, and of course ventilation systems.
The current style of modern bathrooms, do not only exemplify what luxury can be, but they can redefine it. Whether it is the luxury of providing relaxation, or through the use of exclusive or rare materials, bathrooms are now essential elements in many fabulous homes.
It is interesting to note that trends in the design of the room is not guided by popular architectural style, but rather by personal preferences, which are often dictated by our lifestyles. Some bathrooms may not even include showers, but are used for family gatherings, while others represent the respite from a hectic lifestyle.
A shower room in its own dedicated space, whether isolated in a section of the larger bathroom, or a completely separate room, can be simple luxury. All that is really needed is a bench on which you can relax, while warm water cascades from an overhead nozzle.
The space has easily become an expression of style and taste, but perhaps, most of the worth and meaning, comes from the ability to influence occupants to spend time there.
In the last ten years, bedrooms and other rooms of the house were re-wired to contain an array of technological amenities that invited movement or activity at a much slower pace. Today, the shower room is multi-functional. It still fulfils a utilitarian purpose, but it can also become the star attraction in any home.
Living styles are changing, and the places in which we live are also changing along with them. The design of the shower room has evolved to include new colours and materials. What was considered taboo, is quickly becoming commonplace, as the shower room is now used for much more than showers.
