Modern shower cubicles – see what will be in style in 2021

Modern style is associated with simplicity. What matters is minimalism and getting rid of many patterns and rich ornamentation. The beauty of the modern style lies in its simplicity and modest elegance. For some time now, we have observed that ready-made shower cabins with a tray are becoming a thing of the past. They are massive and thick, and combined with the sometimes quite high tray, they do not go with a modern style.

These days people prefer an individual style and matching the shower cubicle to the bathroom. Modern shower cubicles feature stylish glass walls. They often have a very flat tray or none at all. Walk-in showers are becoming more common. They are light and subtle. This is minimalism in its purest form. These types of showers are not only comfortable and practical, but also stylish. By choosing such a solution, you get an extraordinary bathroom decoration that will emphasize its style.

Modern bathroom – why a shower?

In the modern style space is valued, which can be seen in the designs of renowned designers. The desire to optically enlarge the bathroom is one of the reasons why most people invest in a good shower cubicle. It takes up much less space than a bathtub, so it fits perfectly with a modern interior. You then gain a lot of space that can be used to put a shelving unit or cabinet. An interesting idea is to create an original wall decoration, for example from hexagonal tiles. Don’t forget about saving water. Bathing in a tub requires much more water. With a shower you will see that your water bills are much lower.

Modern cubicles are those without a tray or with a very flat tray

The aforementioned walk-in cubicles are particularly popular. They do not have a door and the shower is separated from the rest of the bathroom by a sheet of glass. Such a cubicle encourages the installation of a linear drain. Then there is no shower tray in the shower, and in its place are floor tiles. A bathroom with such a cubicle seems light and more subtle, and therefore even more elegant. A shower without a shower tray is a very stylish option, but it involves a thorough renovation, installation design, spout, etc.
A universal option is a modern shower tray. This will also make the cubicle very effective as if there was a linear drain in it, and at the same time it doesn’t take much work to install. This does not mean, however, that every shower tray available on the market will work. The ideal tray should be as minimalist as the entire cubicle. Thus, high models are not a good idea. Ideally, it should be ultra-flat, like the shower trays available from SanSwiss. The shower is so flat that you feel as if you are still treading on the floor.

A good shower set will complement the cubicle

Once you choose a good-quality shower cubicle with a matching tray, next you must choose a shower set. Consider geometric and simple shapes. The best option is a flush-mounted set that is less visible and minimalist. It is easier to keep clean and fits perfectly in modern bathrooms.

What about fans of bathtubs?

Most often, household members are divided into bathtub lovers and those who prefer a shower. If the bathroom is large, you can try to have both a bathtub and a shower in it. However, in most cases, space is somewhat limited. This is where a bathtub screen comes in. It can be easily mounted on any bathtub. Thanks to it, you will be able to relax in a long bath or enjoy a quick shower. Everyone will be happy.

If the bathroom is to be modern and elegant, a glass bathtub screen is a must. It can be a smooth glass pane with or without elegant profiles. Both versions will look great. Screens that will look great in a modern interior can be found in the SanSwiss offer.
