MEET THE EXPERTS

RICHARD FOX, SENIOR DESIGNER, RIPPLES, SOLIHULL

‘A well-designed shower room finished off to a high standard will always leave a smile on your face.’ KAMILA CHALFIN, BRAND AND MARKETING MANAGER, TILE GIANT

‘Create an oasis where you can relax, but make sure it’s also practical with clever storage and niche shelves.’ JO AYNSLEY, DESIGN DIRECTOR, JEFFREYS INTERIORS

‘A great shower room is where you feel relaxed, where you can sing without judgement.’

Dreaming of a spa-style en suite or family-friendly shower room? There’s plenty to consider when it comes to designing these often small, hard-working spaces. We asked an interior designer, a bathroom designer and a tile expert just what it takes to create the perfect shower room.

DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT

‘Think about whether you want a wet room, where the whole space or showering area is fully open and designed to get wet, or a shower room, where, quite simply, there’s a shower, which is either open or enclosed,’ says Richard.
