A bathroom is one of the most used spaces in any home, and over the years it has evolved from a purely functional room into a place of comfort, reflection and design expression. When building or renovating a home, people now give as much attention to bathroom style as they do to furniture, paint colours and decor. Modern bathrooms combine clean aesthetics with practical features, creating spaces that feel easy to use every day.
Why Showers Are Ideal for Modern Lifestyles
A common question during renovation is whether to choose a bathtub or a shower. Homes today are often smaller than in the past, making a shower the best option for saving space. Beyond being efficient, showers fit into how people live now.
A shower allows for quicker daily cleaning. It uses less water, works for all ages, and requires minimal room for installation. These benefits make showers a natural choice for modern households. With the right design and materials, a contemporary bathroom with a shower can be both elegant and practical.
There are several types of shower layouts that suit different spaces.
-
Bathroom with corner shower
-
Bathroom with niche shower
-
Bathroom with bath and shower combined
Each style can be adapted to create a fresh, modern look that works beautifully in homes of all sizes.
A Modern Choice: The Elevex 2 Way Shower Riser Rail Kit with SS Fixed Head and Diverter
For anyone updating their bathroom, the Elevex 2 Way Shower Riser Rail Kit available at Bathroom4Less is a standout option. This square chrome shower setup brings a clean, contemporary feel while offering practical features that suit everyday use.
The shower riser rail kit is designed with universal connections, allowing it to be installed with different types of shower and bath mixers without needing to replace your current setup. This makes it an ideal upgrade for households wanting a simple but effective improvement.
Shower Head Features

The square chrome shower head offers a refined modern look. Made from stainless steel with easy clean TPR nozzles, it measures 200 by 200 millimetres and is super slim for a stylish finish. It works with water pressure from 0.5 to 5 bar and uses standard G half inch threads for straightforward installation.
Shower Pipe Features
The shower pipe is made from stainless steel with a 22-millimetre diameter. Its two-part structure allows easy installation, and the 1100-millimetre height is suitable for most UK bathrooms. With a polished chrome finish, it complements the shower head perfectly. A durable brass diverter with a ceramic disk cartridge ensures long lasting performance. The adjustable ABS shower holder adds extra comfort and convenience.
Handset and Hose Features

The matching square handset is made from high-quality ABS with a polished chrome finish. It includes a rust-resistant 1.5-meter stainless steel hose with brass nuts, plus a 0.6-meter connection hose for linking to the mixer. It works with all standard plumbing systems, making it a flexible choice for both new and existing bathrooms.
Bringing Functionality and Style Together

Choosing the right shower riser rail kit can influence both the look and ease of use in your bathroom. A well-designed shower riser rail gives better control over height and direction, while a shower riser kit with diverter offers smooth switching between the fixed overhead head and the handheld option. When combined with a square head shower riser kit, the entire setup creates a modern, streamlined appearance.
For smaller bathrooms, a compact 1100mm shower riser rail provides a clever balance between functionality and space saving design. Components such as a matching shower head rail, a durable riser rail kit and a reliable diverter mechanism all work together to create a comfortable and stylish shower experience.
