Splash The Color

Steam-room shower stall with Grohe fixtures and recessed                                                     accessory ledges tiled in faux-wood porcelain April Shower Stalls The shower stall could be the central focus of a bathroom instead of hiding in the corner as a sequestered recess.  It depends on how much of your budget you want to put into the details.  For some, the countertops are king and require an eye-catching granite or marble slab or intriguing porcelain tilework.  For others, the cabinets will be the primary focus, gleaming with a satiny finish and dramatic wood grain patterns. Now the shower stall, once relegated to lowly status and plagued by moldering shower curtains or rusting, stuck sliding doors, has elegant options these days.  You can line it with faux stone porcelain tile, slate, limestone, marble or granite tile.  The shower pan can be a solid 'terrazo' pan, or it can be lined with small tiles that match the walls (small to be able to slope to the drain). You can have a steam-shower, multiple showerheads pulsing towards you from several directions, and a hand-held shower fixture to boot. You can choose floor-to-ceiling glass doors, a fixed glass shield and step-in option, or how about a Euro-style open shower with a rounded curtain rod? You can have recessed ledges to hold your shampoos and soaps, a bench to sit and shower on, or a triangle ledge nestled in the corner. Most importantly, your shower stall needs to conform to the building codes, your lifestyle and your budget.  So choose wisely, shower and prosper.
