The Rise of the Arch Shower Screen
From the monuments of ancient Rome, to becoming a fixture in retro Aussie suburbia – the humble arch has earnt its place in global architecture!
And while it was once a race against time to demolish those dated 1970’s interior archways, today, many owners of houses of this era are choosing to preserve the original arch. In fact, they’re even being turned into key features of the home.
It’s not just doorways stealing the spotlight either. Arch shower screens have taken the bathroom design world by storm, with experts saying they’re here to stay.
Arch doorways, windows, brick facades, niches, shelves, furniture, shower screens – you name it. Curves are back, and they’ve never looked better!
A Contemporary Twist
Things have come a long way since the 70’s. Say goodbye to overt opulence and decorative details - the modern arch is all about minimalism and creating a more functional and harmonious living space.
Today’s curve is generally taller and more elongated, and instead of conforming to a standard décor style like in the past, it has an amazing ability of adapting to suit your home’s individual aesthetics.
The Benefits of an Arch Shower Screen
These curved glass partitions offer a modern take on the traditional shower enclosure – transforming everyday routine into a spa-like experience! But that’s not the only reason arch shower screens are becoming increasingly popular.
By updating your bathroom with an arch shower screens, you can:
Accentuate the height of your bathroom walls to create the illusion of space (great for making smaller bathrooms appear more inviting!).

Enjoy easy cleaning and maintenance, thanks to the seamless design and absence of corners and crevices for mold and soap scum to hide.
Increase home value.
How to incorporate an arch shower screen into your décor:
Consider the aesthetics of your bathroom. For example, if you have busy tiles or other decorative elements, you may opt for a more subtle frameless arch shower screen. Or perhaps a frame in black could make a striking focal point.
Do you want to continue the theme? Without going OTT, you may like to compliment the curved glass shower screen with an arch shower niche or arch mirror. Clusters of archways can create visual interest, depth, and dimension.
Alternatively, do you want to create a contrast? The curved glass may contrast nicely with any clear lines or defined edges you have going on in your bathroom.
