Shower enclosures can add to the luxurious feel or a master bath, or they can make a give a smaller bathroom a spa-like feel. No matter which type of bathroom you have, adding the right shower door can transform the look of your space. If you want something out of the ordinary, consider these three shower design ideas to bring beauty and style to your bathroom

French Shower Doors

French shower doors can give your bathroom a classic country feel or an elegant upscale look, depending on how you accessorize the rest of the room. Choose French-style doors with crisp white frames for a bright, airy feel, or go for a bold, modern look by choosing these doors in sleek black. Finish the trim of any windows in the bathroom in the same color to create a cohesive look, and consider matching your vanity finish to the trim on the door as well.

Glass Block Shower Enclosures

You don't necessarily have to use a door at all on your showers. For a unique modern look, build a curved glass block wall that angles inward toward the shower area. The curved design keeps water in the shower area, while the open entryway lets you walk in and out of the shower effortlessly. This idea is perfect for basement bathrooms or half baths that already have glass block windows. For a fun finishing touch, work with your contractor to install colored lights behind the wall that illuminate the room and add beautiful color.

Stained Glass Shower Doors

If you want a vintage-inspired look in your bathroom, consider a stained glass shower door. This option is ideal for Mission-style or Arts and Crafts decor themes, or it can be used with Victorian-inspired design schemes. Look for a shower door with deep reds or rich shades of brown for an elegant look, or opt for subtle color to add a delicate accent to the room. Patterns of flowers or birds can create a focal point in the room, Complete your vintage design theme by adding oil-rubbed bronze bath and shower hardware to the room, and look for stained glass wall art you can use to carry the theme throughout the bathroom.

Talk to your contractor about the design theme you want, and work together to come up with a shower door and coordinating hardware that makes your bathroom look and feel like an oasis in your home.
