One of the popular ways to get a sleek, modern bathroom is to opt for an open design shower. As the name suggests, these showers are typically fully open to the rest of the bathroom, or at least only partially covered. Many are even simply behind clear glass partitions. This design opens up the bathroom space visually. And the lack of a shower curtain allows the bathroom to look more modern and spa-like.

Porcelain is a fantastic material choice for patios as it is extremely strong and hard-wearing, but it does require some attention when it comes to the edges. Factory finished or cut edges can be sharp, particularly if the tiles have been rectified, or unsightly if the body of the tile differs slightly in colour from the surface. With traditional stone or cement paving slabs you would usually use a contrasting colour brick, block or edging piece to create a border.

That one shade that simultaneously works well in every room, every style and every time of year. Due to how easy it is to work with grey is a perfect color for the bathroom.
