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.

3 | Fits into 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.
