Choosing a Shower Door that Fits Your Aesthetic
Whether you're a homeowner looking to remodel, or an architect coming up with plans for a new home build, the shower is the most distinctive feature that can give your bathroom that "Wow" factor every time you walk into it. Here are five different types of shower doors from GlassCrafters to fit your personal style and home aesthetics.
Contemporary

The Contemporary aesthetic refers to the current style of architecture. Contemporary showers built 20 years ago were current for their time, just as showers built 20 years from now will be contemporary for their time. One feature of contemporary design is lots of large plates of glass, whether for windows or shower doors.
- Equalis Seriesâ„¢ - features sliding doors on a frameless bypass with cladded stainless steel
- Acero Seriesâ„¢ - features luxury tempered glass and stainless steel
- Matrix Seriesâ„¢ - an engineering marvel with its stainless steel rollers, concealed ball bearings, and floor-to-ceiling glass panels
- Majestic Seriesâ„¢ - features solid brass pivot hinges, Reducing bulky metal headers or channels
- Royal Seriesâ„¢ - features a cost-effective hinge system that surpasses the quality, design, and function of other brands
Transitional
A transitional aesthetic blends together elements of both traditional and contemporary architecture. The traditional style relies on natural textures and familiar shapes, while the contemporary style leans into sleek lines and exposed wood and metal elements.
Our Equalis Seriesâ„¢, Regal Seriesâ„¢, and Acero Seriesâ„¢ can fit nicely within a transitional design scheme for your bathroom.
However, our Metropolis Seriesâ„¢ is a much better choice for a truly transitional-style shower. Its late 18th-century Euro style combined with modern metal finishes is the perfect blend of old and familiar, with new and luxurious.
Minimal

The minimal aesthetic keeps things as simple as possible, without any ornamentation or embellishment. The Majestic & Royal Seriesâ„¢ from GlassCrafters is the perfect choice for a minimal design scheme, with their frameless panels and glass-to-glass hinges.
Traditional

If you've thought, "This feels familiar" when seeing an architectural design feature, then you've probably seen the traditional style. This design uses recognizable, familiar symbols from a specific culture.
Our 18th-century Renaissance-styled Metropolis Seriesâ„¢ of shower doors is one of the best examples of a traditional shower door that we have at GlassCrafters. It looks and feels familiar because the geometric grid pattern of the doors and frames has been a cultural staple for hundreds of years. Another great example is the Regal Seriesâ„¢ which features mirror-like decorative plated finishes.
Art Deco

Ornate, geometric, and consistent design features help create an Art Deco aesthetic. This aesthetic wasn’t named until the 1920s in Paris, but the design features were around long before that. Our Metropolis Series™ shower doors work great in an Art Deco design with their influenced Tudor window architecture and geometric, grid-style paneling on the shower doors. Another option would be the Regal Series™ due to its mirror-like decorative plate finishes.
Key Takeaways:
- The Majestic Seriesâ„¢ and Matrix Seriesâ„¢ fit great with a contemporary aesthetic.
- The Equalis Seriesâ„¢ and Acero Seriesâ„¢ both have the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary to fit in with a transitional aesthetic.
- The Metropolis Seriesâ„¢ and Regal Seriesâ„¢ shower doors are a perfect fit in an Art Deco, Transitional, and Traditional aesthetic.
