The Modern Essential of Bathroom Design
A beautifully designed shower transforms the everyday into something restorative. It’s where the morning begins with clarity and the evening ends in calm, offering a moment of stillness within the rhythm of daily life. At Haddon, we craft shower solutions that blend British design heritage with modern performance, creating spaces that feel calm, elegant and effortless to use. From refined shower kits to sculptural screens and low-profile trays, every detail is designed to elevate your bathroom into a sanctuary of comfort and style.
Whether you’re updating a compact ensuite, creating a walk-in feature, or designing a full spa-inspired renovation, this guide will help you choose the right combination of screens, trays, and shower kits to suit both your space and your lifestyle.
Choosing a Shower That Completes Your Space
Every bathroom has its own rhythm, the way light moves through it, the flow between fixtures, the balance of openness and structure. Choosing the right shower is as much about understanding your space as it is about selecting the hardware itself. The layout, proportions, and overall feel of the room all guide which style will work best, helping you create a design that feels intentional and beautifully resolved. Consider the following as you design your bathroom:
1. Consider the Space You Have
In compact bathrooms, a cleverly positioned screen or panel can open up the room, making it feel brighter and more fluid. Medium-sized spaces offer more flexibility, accommodating square or rectangular enclosures that provide a generous showering area without overwhelming the room. Larger bathrooms invite the luxury of wide walk-ins, spacious enclosures, or multi-outlet systems that turn the shower into a defining feature.
2. How You Move Within the Room
Think about door clearances, the swing of a glass panel, and how the shower sits in relation to vanities, toilets, or radiators. Good planning eliminates awkward clashes, like drawers that can’t open fully, and creates a space that feels effortless to use.
3.Your Water System
Combi boilers and unvented cylinders offer strong pressure and full flexibility, while gravity-fed systems may benefit from low-pressure-compatible options or integrated pumps. By understanding how your bathroom works behind the scenes, you can choose a shower that performs beautifully every day.
4. Bringing Elements Together
The layout, movement, pressure, and your personal style ensures your shower becomes a seamless part of your bathroom’s design story. Whether you prefer clean-lined minimalism, hotel-inspired luxury, or warm, understated elegance, the right shower will enhance both the look of the room and the experience within it.
Understanding Your Shower
The shower elements you choose shapes both the look of your bathroom and the way each shower feels. Beyond performance, it’s a design decision, one that influences the atmosphere of the space, the proportions of the room, and the overall sensory experience of your daily ritual.
Overhead Rainfall Shower Heads
An overhead rainfall shower head creates a soft, enveloping stream that feels spa-like and indulgent. Positioned from the ceiling or high on the wall, it introduces a sense of verticality and openness, drawing the eye upward and giving the shower area a refined, architectural presence.
Best for: calm, luxurious spaces where the shower becomes a focal point.
Handheld Shower
Sleek and versatile, a handheld shower adds flexibility without compromising design. When paired with a matching hose and holder, it becomes a subtle design accent, practical for rinsing, cleaning or bathing children.
Best for: everyday convenience and multi-use bathrooms.
Exposed vs Concealed Shower
The style of your controls and pipework plays a key role in the overall look of your shower.
Concealed Showers
A concealed shower keeps valves and pipework hidden inside the wall, leaving only the minimal controls and head visible. View our Nuvo Shower as an example.
Benefits: a clean, streamlined look; ideal for minimalist interiors; greater freedom in arranging controls and outlets.
Exposed Showers
An exposed design has the valve and pipework mounted visibly on the surface of the wall, creating a subtle design feature. View our Moreno shower as an example.
Benefits: easier installation, characterful styling, and suitability for traditional or transitional bathrooms.
