Showers from the 90s and earlier tend to have opaque glass. This is good for privacy, but it looks dingy. Modern door trends lean toward transparent glass, which provides a sleeker, brighter, more spacious appearance and allows you to show off custom shower tile.
Custom glass shower door designs
For the privacy you want without dingy opaque glass, consider a door with custom decorative etched glass. You can create any design you want, from geometric squares and stripes to mountain scenery to ocean waves. This makes your shower become a piece of art in the bathroom.
Spacious shower enclosure
Shower/tub combinations aren’t trendy in 2017. If you have space, a freestanding soaking tub and spacious enclosure are much more aesthetically pleasing. In the shower, luxurious yet sustainable features, such as a low-flow rainfall shower head, make getting ready each morning a spa-like experience.
