Finding Glass That Makes A Statement

Glass shower enclosures are easy to take care of, mold and mildew can quickly be wiped away to prevent buildup, making them a beneficial upgrade investment for just about any bathroom. But you may find that you want a little more shower privacy than your glass shower enclosure can offer. Luckily, you can privatize your new glass door and introduce new décor to your bathroom at the same time using one or more of these tips and tricks:

Sensational Stained Glass

Stained glass decor helps to maintain overall shower privacy, while at the same time allowing light to filter throughout the bathroom and introducing a vibrant color scheme to the space's overall design. You can find glass film that comes in stained glass designs, which is easy to simply peel and stick to your shower door. It can also be easily removed if you want to switch things up and replace the design once in awhile.

If you want a more authentic look, use stencils on the shower door to paint your own stained glass design with a thin paint brush. It's important to put some thought into the color scheme you'll be using, because colors can affect your mood while spending time in your bathroom. Try some of these ideas:

• Encourage happiness and joyous energy with hues of yellow.
• Use shades of blue to calm things down and keep your blood pressure levels low.
• Add a touch of luxury to your space with the help of purple.
• Create some energy and excitement using orange.

Red offers an interesting contrast to these colors, but it can also raise your blood pressure and heart rate. Because of this it's a good idea to use red hues as accents instead of the base color when designing your stained glass look.

Marvelous Mural Décor

Creating a mural design on your glass shower door is an awesome way to create a visual story for your bathroom that provides both character and privacy to the space. You can have a professional paint the mural for you, or have a customized template designed that can be used to paint the mural yourself. Using transparent paint to create the mural will allow light to filter into the shower. Keep a bucket or water with a rag in it nearby while you work so that you can quickly wipe away mistakes and make repairs when needed.

Quality Curtain Overlay

If you don't have the time or inclination to spruce your glass shower door up with personalized décor, simply install a quality curtain along the outside of the door for privacy. You don't have to worry about it getting wet, so you aren't limited to choosing only shower curtains. In fact, you can learn more about this topic, branch out and try your hand at options such as roman shades or honeycomb blinds instead.

The idea is to create a luxurious feel in your bathroom that adds a soft touch while maintaining shower privacy. You'll find that Curtains and blinds help to camouflage the shower altogether, which means that you can skip a day or two of cleaning without it effecting the overall look of your space.

Nurturing Nature Elements

As long as natural light is present, the bathroom is a great place to grow indoor plants because of the extra moisture that is introduced to the space on a regular basis. Not only can they help to filter the air in the bathroom, but they can provide some natural privacy for your shower too. Install a thin shelf right above the glass shower door and place half gallon pots with vine plants in them. As they grow, position their vines so they hang down the front of your glass shower door for privacy.

Try mixing and matching these ideas to create a unique look for your bathroom – consider stained glass designs on the bottom half and frosty décor on the top half, or both curtains and nature accents.
