Light-governed shower space 

Using the appropriate light can change the appearance and the atmosphere of each room in your house and this is valid for a shower-fitted bathroom as well. Using natural or LED light or the combination of both can create a really unique feeling.

Shower bathroom with a spa feeling 

Going to a spa center is often associated with laying peacefully in an aroma bathtub surrounded by candles and tender music. Recreating the spa atmosphere at home, however, does not necessarily mean you need to have a bath. 

• Use the right materials and textures. Choosing natural stone tiles such as marble, travertine, limestone, granite or a combination of them for your bathroom walls and floors is the easiest way to recreate spa atmosphere. You can also add accessories like a chandelier, candles a wooden shower floor to improve the décor. A combination of a bathtub and a walk-in shower is also a sure trick for turning your bathroom into a private spa center.
