In recent years, walk-in showers have gained a prominent place in modern bathrooms. This solution, characterized by barrier-free direct access and minimalist design, is not just a passing fad but a real revolution in the world of bathroom fittings.
In this article we will explore why walk-in showers have become so popular, the benefits they offer, and how to choose the right one for your space from the many options by MOMA Design.
WHAT IS A WALK-IN SHOWER?
For MOMA Design, a walk-in shower can be either at floor level, made with tiles of your choosing, or equipped with a shower tray, but the key thing is that it does not have the often cumbersome presence of a traditional shower cubicle with a door, whether sliding or hinged, but instead simply relies on one or more glass walls to demarcate (but not occlude) the access to the shower environment and to contain water splashing.
THE BENEFITS OF WALK-IN SHOWERS
Aesthetics and Modern Design
Walk-in showers are the epitome of modernity and elegance. Their minimalist design creates a visual effect of continuity that amplifies the space, making the bathroom more airy and bright. The lack of doors or curtains eliminates clutter and gives the bathroom a clean, sophisticated look.
Accessibility and Safety
The absence of doors makes walk-in showers an ideal choice for those with mobility issues, those with young children in the family, or simply those who do not like barriers in their wellness environments. Direct access also eliminates an element that could easily wear out over time.
Easy to Clean
With no doors or hard-to-reach corners, walk-in showers are much easier to clean than traditional showers. This reduces the time needed for daily maintenance and keeps the bathroom fresh and hygienic at all times.
Design Versatility
Walk-in showers offer great flexibility in terms of design. They can be customized to fit any space, regardless of the size or shape of the bathroom. This versatility allows you to play with materials and styles to create a unique and personalized environment.
MOMA Design offers two main walk-in models, one featuring a single glass wall (models ST.500 and BX.500, made respectively with 10 mm thick tempered glass and 8 mm thick glass), and the other figuratively also called “labyrinth” (models ST.400, with 10 mm glass and models BX.400 with 8 mm glass), featuring 3 walls that create a very interesting play of angles and openings.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT WALK-IN SHOWER
Evaluate the Available Space
First, consider the size of your bathroom. Walk-in showers are best suited for large spaces, but they can also be adapted to smaller bathrooms with proper planning, MOMA Design’s forte.
Choose the Right Materials
Materials play a crucial role in defining the look and functionality of the shower. Clear glass is an ever-popular choice for walls, as it helps maintain the feeling of openness. MOMA Design uses only the best transparent tempered glass for its shower enclosures, in the higher-end 10 mm thickness and in 8 mm thickness. Stainless steel accessories, in this case stiffening bars and wall and floor profiles, are a functional and aesthetically pleasing complement to our shower enclosures. If you choose a MOMA design shower tray, it can be equipped with a practical milled channel, which accommodates the shower wall, eliminating the need for floor profiles.
But clear glass is not the only option: extra-clear glass, frosted glass, and glass with a variety of printed patterns can add an unmistakable touch of style to your bathroom.
Also think about Lighting
Lighting can make a big difference in the ambiance of your walk-in shower. Integrated LED lights or recessed spotlights can add a touch of elegance and improve visibility. MOMA Design offers many models of showerheads made entirely of Corian Glacier White by DuPont, that can be accessorized with LEDs, water and tech options, and chromo therapy.
Customize with Accessories
Add accessories such as shelves, built-in seats, or digital control systems to enhance the shower experience. These elements not only increase comfort but also contribute to the overall aesthetics. MOMA Design offers seating such as the discreet and functional SHOWER SEAT as well as the TANGRAM STOOL. Our CONTAINER shower niches are among the most popular items we sell, along with LINE bars and our SCALETTA to stylishly house bath products, robes and towels.
In conclusion, walk-in showers represent the perfect balance of functionality and style. Their ability to adapt to any space, combined with the elegance of MOMA Design’s modern design, makes them a winning choice for those who want to renovate their bathroom with the typical Italian savoir-faire. With the right touches, a walk-in shower can transform your bathroom into a haven of well-being, adding value and comfort to your home.
If you are considering a bathroom remodel or simply want to update your shower space, a walk-in shower may be the solution for you. Explore the options offered by MOMA Design and get inspired to create an environment that reflects your personal style and meets your daily needs!
