If you have a particularly wide area to work with or if you have an extra large bathroom, consider a bespoke shower with double doors. This feature not only adds visual appeal, it is functional as well. If you frequently move items such as a safety bench in and out of the shower, extra wide or double doors can be helpful.

For an extravagant custom look, choose a bespoke shower that is exquisitely framed. You'll have various options for a custom finish for your shower frame, so choose one that matches your existing fixtures and hardware. You might choose brushed nickel, silver, or another metal for your frame. A gold anodized frame can beautify a bathroom as well.

You may also decide to create a steam enclosure for your custom-built shower. This option is beneficial for those who enjoy the luxury of a sauna in the privacy and convenience of their own home. A bespoke steam enclosed shower will generally have a control switch on the inside of the door. Some bespoke steam showers also have built-in timers.

For added luxury and practicality, add built-in seating to your bespoke shower enclosure. This is especially helpful for the elderly or those who have difficulty standing for long periods. Built-in seating typically works best in wide custom-built showers.
