Getting a Modern Look with a Bath Screen
Bath screens may be a functional necessity to stop water splashing from an over bath shower, but they can also be added for purely aesthetic purposes to change the over all look of the entire bathroom.
Older baths can be given a fresh look with the addition of a bath screen. Curved bath screens tend to give a much softer feminine type of look to the lines of the bathroom, and a plain, simple curve will give an ultra modern look to the whole room.
Folding bath screens are an excellent way of saving space in a small bathroom because they can be folded back out of the way if the bath is in use but not the shower. These are much more modern looking and practical than a shower curtain which you have to pull back and allow to drip dry into the bath, not to mention the problem of keeping the whole thing clean.
Sliding bath screens are practical in family bathrooms as they are easier to slide across and don’t have hinges that may get damaged by children. However, the most popular and most common shape is the square bath screen. These tend to be minimalist in appearance and they fit well into contemporary bathroom styles that favour clean lines.
If plain and simple is not your thing where bath screens are concerned, decorative versions with gold edges are available, and there are numerous frosted designs from scroll work to fish, leaves and even flowers. Some have small frosted areas but others are frosted all over with a particular design.
