When making a house a home, you want to design your rooms in
a way that both suits your tastes and reflects your lifestyle. Of course, you
still want the spaces and features in your home to be functional as well as
aesthetically pleasing, which is why we think you should consider installing a
bespoke shower rail in your bathroom.
The bathroom is a room we visit multiple times a day, yet
often gets overlooked when it comes to home design. Being a space you’re in so
often, why not make it one you enjoy being in? We’ve listed three of the
benefits of installing a bespoke rail in your bathroom to keep it both
practical and attractive.
1 | Privacy
Firstly, we’re focusing on functionality. Many people
nowadays have screens in their shower, as they’re easy to clean and
inconspicuous, so as not to distract from the rest of the bathroom’s design and
decor. However, being transparent, they do not offer the same privacy as a
shower curtain.
When living in a house with other people and only a single
bathroom, it’s often the case that whenever you want to use the bathroom to get
ready someone else is already in there. By having a shower curtain, this allows
multiple people to use the bathroom at once, or for the door to be left open to
help with airflow and reduce condensation, whilst offering privacy at the same
time.
Installing a bespoke shower rail allows you to choose how
much room is given to secure this privacy. For example, you may choose to have
one enclose the circumference of the person whilst they’re in the shower, or
you may decide to have one separate the room completely from where the shower/bath
is to offer a bit more space at the same time.
2 | Tailored Size
Another benefit of installing a bespoke rail is that it can
be tailored to specifically fit your shower or bath however you wish it to.
This is especially handy if you have a bathroom on the small side, which may
feel too busy or claustrophobic if installed with a traditional shower rail and
curtain that covers more than necessary.
Going hand in hand with this, you are also able to choose the
desired shape you want to best fit your space, whether it be angles, straight,
hooped or curved. For example, if you have a small or wet-room style shower,
then a curved shower rail would be a good idea to tie this area off without
taking up unnecessary space.

Design
Finally, bespoke shower rail solutions are ideal for
complimenting the overall design of your bathroom. Not only do you get to
choose the shape of your rail, but you also have choice over the depth it sits
at and the hardware.
If you’re going for a rustic vibe or enjoy the industrial
style, then you may opt for black or brass hardware for your rail and position
it to be very angular and structured looking. If you prefer something more
sophisticated and almost regal or ethereal, then a gold, curved shower rail
would look excellent surrounding a stand-alone bathtub.
