Shower Door of the Week: Smoked Glass in Martinsburg, West Virginia
These unique smoked glass showers caused a lot of excitement in the showroom this week! They were referred to as “The Blackout,” “glorious,” and “a bad mama jama.” Let’s take a look at the first shower…
Can we just bask for a minute in that dark grey glass against grey marbled tile? It’s stunning. Okay, the details. This corner unit has brushed nickel hardware, an obvious but excellent choice against the greys. It’s bright but in keeping with the minimalist frameless look. A smoked glass installation might be one time we wouldn’t recommend our beloved matte black hardware. We don’t want you fumbling around to find the shower door handle in the morning. But hey, if you want to go full goth black shower, we’re all in.
Light is one factor to consider with an acid-etched or smoked grey door. Again, we don’t judge. If you want a shower cave in the morning, you do you! If you want some extra light, though, consider installing lighting above or near the shower. A dimmer switch could also be a good investment if not everyone in the family loves the cave experience. Or…
Who needs a shower door? Wait, I haven’t run that concept by the marketing department. “Shower Not-Door Experts” doesn’t have the same oomph. But sometimes you don’t need the actual door. As Expert Schuyler notes, “These clients opted to go without a door on this bad mama jama.” With the lighting above and lack of door, it’s definitely a brighter experience overall. I also love all the textures they have going on – pebbles and marble with the grey tying it all together. Smoked glass is a trend I’d like to see a lot more of in 2022!
