Showroom feature: Matki Illusion Corner Shower Door

 Matki offer dozens of contemporary shower enclosures and are renowned for their high quality materials and stylish design; we take a look at the Illusion model and give it a test run.

Our initial impression of the Illusion model was the size. The impressive corner shower comes in 6 different sizes depending on the space you have to work with, giving you enough flexibility to fit the shower into more compact areas.

In addition to the choice of size, the shower also offers both right and left handed options which also play a key role when designing your bathroom as it allows you to prevent any unnecessary collisions with your door or wall.

The Illusion not only is unbeatable in convenience but also is a minimal style option which will be the focal point of your bathroom. With just 2 glass panels making up the enclosure, the Illusion uses a simple design combined with robust materials to gain its timeless clean cut design.

Moreover, the shower promises chrome finished hinges and features in order to complete the contemporary design, providing a sturdy finish with a secure shutting mechanism which will give you confidence in the showers durable design.

Our favourite feature of the Illusion is the choice it gives you in its design. At Bathroom City we understand that bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms all come in different shapes and sizes and the Illusion (very much like other Matki models) hosts a variety of size and function options along with the ability to mix and match the product with an abundance of different shower heads, valves and mechanisms to get the look and design you desire.

Showers Fixtures and Fittings

There's no greater way to wake up in the morning than with a revitalising shower, but this is only possible with all the right fixtures and fittings.

With a massive range of shower heads available on the market today it can be quite confusing choosing the right one for you.

Essentially there are two main types of shower- fixed head and slider rail.

Slider rail shower heads are usually smaller than the fixed heads, but can be moved up and down a fixed bar. Being perfect for the family, the shower head can be moved depending on the height of the user.

Fixed shower heads are attached to the wall or ceiling and cannot be moved. These heads offer different effects, including rain forest shower, and are usually fairly large in size.

Bathroom City has a fabulous and varied selection of both which can be seen and bought from the website.

A huge range of showers are available at Bathroom City

With a sleek, round head and a great rain function, this Ecco Round Fixed Shower Head & Wall Arm is a master class in Bathroom design. With smooth edges and a long wall arm, this head is sure to be the focal point in your new bathroom.

The Chrome Ecco Round Fixed Shower Head features:

Glass Shower Enclosures

BC 900 QUADRANT SHOWER ENCLOSURE

Glass shower enclosures can help make your bathroom more inviting and attractive.

As the bathroom is one of the most used rooms in your home and most people spend a good share of their at home time in this room, it makes sense to make it as welcoming and comfortable as possible.

Glass shower enclosures can make a small bathroom look much larger by opening up the space where the shower is.

By creating a transparent area rather than a more solid enclosure, the room suddenly appears lighter, more open and appears to bigger than it is.

Many people choose beautiful tile patterns and sometimes have pictures worked into the design, then hide it all behind a solid shower enclosure.

However a glass shower enclosure will serve as a frame for your design and allow you to enjoy see and appreciate it whether you are in the shower or not.

Glass shower enclosures can be designed for almost any type and style of bathroom. They suit all styles of décor, from traditional to modern, and can usually be custom made to fit any space.

Bathroom City offer a wide range of shower enclosures to suit all bathroms and showers. Have a look at our shower section of the website for product info and product price guides.

Decorating your bathroom

As with other rooms in the home, the bathroom should have a particular theme or look. This creates a cohesive design and provides direction for selecting bathroom furniture, plumbing fixtures and other decor items.

The most popular bathroom designs are traditional, art deco, modern and luxury. Each of these bathroom themes is unique and requires certain stylistic elements to be incorporated into your bathroom decor.

The key to a traditional bathroom is a clawfoot tub and brass/chrome bath fixtures with porcelain-look handles or accents. A bathroom pedestal sink recalls the days of wash basins on stands.If you really want to play up the traditional or Tudor/Victorian feel, look for pull chain toilets.

Art deco design takes its lead from the 1920s – wood furniture with rounded fronts and mirrored and glass accents. An art deco bathroom is the perfect place for that glass top bathroom vanity. Black and white bathroom tiles are in keeping with the theme, especially when arranged in a geometric bathroom tile design.

If bright, bold colors are more your style, a modern bathroom could be for you. Think 1950s – solid colors, stark lines and high shine. Rectangular bath tubs and sinks in gleaming white acrylic work best, and chrome faucets and fixtures are just the kind of highly polished surfaces needed to complete the look.

Of course, if you want the ultimate in relaxation, nothing short of a luxury bathroom will do. Though any bathroom can be made to feel luxurious with the addition of a whirlpool tub or massage shower, a true luxury bathroom also includes a glass bathroom sink and a bidet.  And don't forget the towel warmer for your fluffy, oversized towels!

A luxury bathroom isn't just a room – it's an escape.

Whatever style you choose, there is still plenty of flexibility to add unique touches and personal flair, so don't be afraid to play a little.
