Showcasing the Shower
February 4, 2022
Showers have come a long way in design, from a basic area adorned with standard subway tile and heavy framed doors to an oasis adorned with spectacular tile and advanced shower systems showcased through stunning frameless glass surrounds. In keeping with this trend, many homeowners are removing seldom-used tubs to expand their showers, making them the focal point of the space.
Below are some of the hottest trends in shower enclosures.
- Many clear shower enclosures are designed with minimal hardware for a streamlined look, creating a sense of openness in the bath.
- Frames, trims and handles are offered in a range of finishes, from the more standard chrome and polished nickel to the more current brushed brass and rose gold.
- As boomers adapt their homes to become safer and physically more accessible as they age, low-threshold and barrier-free showers are gaining in popularity, and easy-to-use and push-to-open shower doors are garnering more attention.
- Taller shower enclosures (at least 76”) are popular for their ability to take advantage of floor-to-ceiling tile designs.
- Matte black is featured in many gridscape and trim elements, coordinating with bath fittings in similar finishes.
- Frosted glass and distinctive patterns that blur the interior and deliver privacy to the bather are among the requests from today’s homeowners.

We are surrounded by stimuli all the time in our world. In today's always connected digital environment, it can be debilitating. It really should come as no surprise that we feel more at ease when we encounter anything in our day-to-day lives that is orderly, balanced, or tidy. When we can move around easily, find what we need logically, and don't have to worry about looking for it, we feel happier. We can all live better when we are organized, and Hardware Resources organizers just make life better. Continue reading to learn about some of the creative ways Hardware Resources is bringing harmony to the disarray of contemporary life. Let’s Organize Drinks The kinds of organizational solutions that people require for their houses are directly influenced by lifestyle trends. Single-use beverage containers have been under increasing pressure from customers in recent years. The unusual sizes, forms, and attachments (straws and lids) of reusable drink containers, such as water bottles, insulated beverage containers, and tumblers, can make them challenging to store. Although traditional rollout drawers can facilitate access to certain objects, they are not the best option because the items have a tendency to move and fall out when the drawer is pulled out. Hardware Resources' Bottle Rollout Organizer is made to make handling and storing these bulky containers simple. Because of its double drawer design, the Bottle Rollout makes it simple to reach the bottom drawer by pushing the top drawer back and out of the way. In addition to the 15-bottle grid, the 21- and 27-bottle organizers contain a partially divided drawer to hold lengthy or bulky goods and a reversible grid system that allows for left- or right-hand arrangement. With a 15-bottle grid that can hold containers up to 4" by 4", the bottle grid system offers the greatest amount of flexibility. For a variety of households, including active families with sports-loving members, environmentally conscious consumers who wish to avoid single-use drinkware, and performers who utilize the bottle rollout for their home bar or beverage area, it is a clever option.
