Today’s featured shower includes popular elements like clear glass, 90 degree angles, and chrome hardware. However, like many custom glass shower installations, it also has some features that set it apart, including built-in storage options. We’ll take a close look at this shower and the hardware choices that define it, so you can be inspired and get the creative juices flowing for your next shower upgrade.

The overall design is very modern organic with clean lines, crisp edges, and many natural touches. For instance, the shower is bright thanks to a skylight and a window, which also provides an outdoor view. The wood-themed wall covering and the stone on the threshold and ledge further this vibe. In fact, you can just picture a green plant in one of the niches!

1. Traditional Fasteners Keep It Classic

While the general style of the bathroom and shower is more contemporary, there are some details that soften the look. Pictured above, a wall mount clamp attaches a piece of clear fixed glass to an adjacent wall. This clamp and the fasteners used elsewhere on the enclosure have beveled edges, which are a classic design element. In addition to more wall mount clamps and the door hinges, the enclosure also makes use of a 90 degree sleeve-over glass clamp like this.

 

2. Hinged Door Features and Functionality

Because there is sufficient clearance around the shower entrance, a swinging door is both practical and visually appealing on this enclosure. It is hinged to the fixed glass beside it by means of glass to glass hinges that coordinate in style with the other hardware. The chosen finish is chrome, a tone that has been used on glass showers for many years and which does not seem to really go out of style even as other finishes trend and fade alongside it. Polished chrome adds a bit of sparkle and is a cool tone that contrasts pleasantly with the warm wall tones.

 

3. Extra Storage Built Right In

One feature that sets this week’s shower apart is the extra storage it provides. For starters, a stone slab serves as both the top of a shower bench and an external shelf, each of which can hold items like shampoo, body wash, and loufahs. On the door panel, a towel bar/pull handle combo is used instead of back-to-back pull handles, allowing for towel storage on the outside of the door. Another towel bar is installed on the outside of the fixed panel across from the window, making it possible to hang an additional towel near the soaker tub.
