Decluttering for a More Relaxing Space
During the COVID era, the concepts of decluttering, simplifying, and prioritizing have become increasingly popular. Many have taken the opportunity to “Marie Kondo” their drawers, clear out closets during extra time at home, or reduce clutter to keep it from appearing in the background of Zoom calls. This has inspired a shift towards creating more open and serene living environments. The philosophy of “less is more,” first introduced by German architect Mies van der Rohe at the beginning of the 21st century, has certainly made a comeback.
Transforming Bathroom Spaces
This emphasis on open design and clutter-free spaces has permeated every room, including our bathrooms. Given that we spend significant time in bathrooms—averaging 416 full days over a lifetime (373 days for men and 456 for women)—it’s important that these spaces are welcoming and calming. Out of those days, about 92 are spent using the toilet, with the remaining 324 days (7,776 hours) dedicated to grooming and unwinding.
Frameless Shower Doors: A Stylish Solution
One effective way to create a more spacious feel in the bathroom is by installing frameless shower doors.
“Whether you are considering a complete renovation or just want to enhance your current space without a major overhaul, frameless showers can significantly elevate the bathroom’s visual appeal,” states Mark Taylor, Regional Manager of Mr. Showers.
These contemporary shower doors utilize architectural glass that surrounds the shower area, eliminating the visual distraction of frames at every corner. “Some people don’t realize the improvement until they actually see it,” Taylor adds. “It completely alters the bathroom’s atmosphere.” Customizable and resistant to corrosion, these shower surrounds are also easier to maintain and are nearly unbreakable. The end result evokes a spa-like ambiance with a bright, sleek, and modern touch. You might recall the stylish bathrooms from your recent hotel stays, as many high-end hotels are adopting frameless shower designs.
Enhancing Your Home’s Value
When you’re ready to transform your bathroom into a personal spa retreat, the team at Mr. Showers is prepared to assist you. After a consultation to discuss your preferences and take measurements, the custom-made tempered glass usually takes just 7 to 10 days to be ready, followed by a quick installation process. With over 20 years of experience, Taylor can address any inquiries clients may have. Another advantage is that once installed, the new shower doors can also boost your home’s value.
Simplicity and Sophistication in Design
Leonardo da Vinci once remarked, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Although he likely wasn’t contemplating bathroom renovations, the minimalist appeal of frameless shower doors can indeed bring a touch of sophistication to a space we use every day.
