Bathroom Design Ideas

The choice of shower tray may not seem a difficult choice, but make no mistake, the type of shower tray you choose is vital if your bathroom is to look both well designed and smart.

Obviously the tray has to fit the shower it is serving, so if you have a corner fitted shower, then you will need a corner tray.  However, once this has been decided, you will really have a wide range of trays from which to choose.  This is where the practical issues come into play.

If you spend a long time in the shower, (or someone else in your household does) then a deep shower tray may be a good idea.  If hobbies or activities mean that someone is very muddy then a deeper shower tray will also be useful, since they will help keep the mud off the panel or shower door.  Some are also promoted as being less prone to leakages.

If you do choose a deep shower tray, make sure that you buy one which looks very slim line, since they can sometimes look quite chunky.  This can look out of place in a very small bathroom, where the size will appear even bigger.

A flatter shower tray is probably more suitable for a small shower area or where you do not have a problem with having to worry about excess mud. 

Whichever type of tray you choose, make sure that the tray complements the shower and that it is well matched, otherwise the tray will simply look out of place and not in keeping with the rest of the bathroom.
