If a man could just take off his shorts and get into the shower, would he be inclined to take one more often? Maybe he would if he could see something tempting waiting for him on the other side. And a woman? Could a high-tech glass-enclosed shower help take the stress of the day out of him? Could he maybe even make her a little riskier?
These are compelling questions and one way to find the answers is to install a walk-in shower and see what happens. Built-in showers are THE latest trend in bathroom decoration. They’re stylish, contemporary, and virtually maintenance-free, and right now they’re more affordable than ever.
When it comes to the bathroom, too many people take this room for granted. As long as the bathroom is functional and contains the essentials, most won’t think much of this part of the house. And that is a mistake. Go take a look in your bathroom. Are you happy with what you see? Is it calming and relaxing? If your appearance is somewhat sterile or worse, seriously out of date, it’s time to turn your attention in that direction. It’s time for you to give that room a makeover.
Need even more reasons to take the plunge, so to speak? Here’s not one, but six compelling reasons Brits are falling in love with the walk-in shower.
Walk-in showers end the morning routine with an air of luxury.
And luxury is what today’s bathroom is all about. The bathroom is no longer thought of simply as the place to take care of routine and mundane matters. Now it’s THE place to pamper yourself. With a walk-in shower as the centerpiece of your bathroom, it’s easier than ever to find matching accessories no matter your décor style. You can accessorize to your heart’s content with stainless steel, brushed nickel, silver or chrome faucets, wall-mounted mirrors, luxurious absorbent towels, aromatherapy candles and more. You are in total charge of creating the kind of escape you crave; one that is functional yet best of all, one that is reminiscent of the 5-star accommodations at your favorite vacation hideaway.
Walk-in showers leave room to shower with a partner.
Take a moment to let your mind wander here and imagine the possibilities. Go ahead, be adventurous. What a great way to get out of the bedroom rut and add a little excitement to your life! And if those kinds of thoughts are too much for your innocent mind, just think of the water you’ll save when you shower together. You’ll be doing your part for the environment, and at the same time, you’ll be setting the stage for many exciting things to come.
Walk-in showers increase the resale value of your home.
When it comes to home value, you’ll almost always get the most bang for your buck when you upgrade your kitchen and bathroom. A frameless clear glass shower stall will instantly update the look of any bathroom, no matter how old it is. Walk-in showers create a more spacious environment, which is a huge benefit, especially when space is already limited. This popular look is modern yet timeless, which means you won’t have to worry about how much money you spend – the walk-in shower you install today will look good even 10 years from now!
Walk-in showers are easier to clean.
You won’t have to waste another moment inhaling harsh chemicals while laboriously trying to remove mold and mildew buildup from your shower curtains and doors. Simply wipe the glass clean when you’re done and you’re good to go. It’s already busy enough, so anything that helps cut down on cleaning time is a blessing. You may be even more inclined to keep your walk-in shower area clean to ensure a clear view of what awaits you on the other side.
Walk-in showers are easier for the old and the young to use.
When you install a wet floor shower, you won’t have to climb over raised edges to get in, greatly increasing mobility. The security aspect alone is the deciding factor for many. The addition of a seat and flexible hose with handheld shower head means showering will no longer be a chore. Kids love walk-in showers too. And guess what? The more they enjoy showering, the more inclined they are to do so!
Walk-in showers are easy to retrofit into an existing bathroom area.
Installation is possible (and not that difficult) even outside of real walls. The built-in showers can be installed in any recessed area or in any corner. With easy-to-follow instructions included with each shower enclosure, DIYers can handle most installations without hiring a contractor. You probably won’t need to hire a plumber either!
There you have it: several reasons why you should consider installing a walk-in shower. You will benefit, your home will benefit, and quite possibly your love life will benefit too!
