Incorporating Custom Glass Into Luxury Bathroom Designs
If you are planning to remodel your bathroom, or maybe just upgrade a single feature such as the shower enclosure, then introducing custom glass can bring a true sense of quality and sophistication. It works just as well with traditional and retro designs as it does with sleek and modern styles.
Glass is durable, beautiful, and enhances the sense of light, space and harmony in a room. It’s also a pleasing contrast to other materials commonly used in bathrooms, such as metal, stone, and wood. Here’s a look at how to make custom glass the defining feature of your bathroom in 2025.
Frameless glass shower enclosures for contemporary cool
Frameless glass is one of the most contemporary and sophisticated styles of bathroom shower enclosure. Instead of being supported by a frame, the glass is held in place by a stainless steel U channel, usually to accommodate glass panels of 12mm or 6mm thickness. This gives a clean minimalist look, and allows an uninterrupted view of the tilework.
The frameless shower enclosure can also feel more spacious and less claustrophobic while you are showering. They are also easier to keep dry and clean, because there are fewer edges and corners where damp, mould and dirt can gather. This can increase the longevity of your shower unit, and it will generally look better and present fewer health hazards.
Glass hardware is available in a variety of finishes, including chrome, matte black, nickel, gold, and bronze. This can be matched to your other fittings such as the taps, towel rails and pipework for a cohesive look.
Glass partitions for a statement spa bathrooms
The spa bathroom remains one of the most aspirational bathroom styles in 2025, featuring hotel-standard touches of luxury. The aim of a spa bathroom is to create a space that is a beautiful sanctuary from the outside world, with a calming colour palette and nature inspired textures.
For example, fixtures with natural finishes such as stone wash basins, marble countertops, and wooden vanity units are popular choices. These might be combined with natural stone tiling and flooring, indoor plants in decorative ceramic pots or wicker baskets, and earthy colour palettes.
In larger spa bathrooms, a freestanding roll-top bath might be the focal point. In addition or instead of this, there may be a walk-in shower area or a wet room layout. To maintain the flow of light and expansiveness that is a hallmark of the spa bathroom, consider using a glass partition screen.
This will create distinct zones and prevent the bath or other fixtures from excessive splashing. Use ultra-clear low iron glass for a seamless effect, or opt for frosted or tinted glass if you want an extra level of privacy. Another option is to use smart glass technology, which enables you to switch between clear and opaque glass with the touch of a button.
Floating glass shelving and vanity units
Floating glass shelves and vanity units are both elegant and practical, as they make efficient use of space, provide useful extra storage room, enhance the sense of space and look luxurious without detracting from the beauty of the tilework.
You can opt for minimalist frameless glass, or combine the glass with contrasting materials such as metal, wood or marble. If you are fitting the units yourself, ensure that the glass is tempered safety glass and the thickness of the pieces complies with building regulations. This will ensure that the units or shelves are safe and fit for purpose.
Glass doors
Glass might not be an obvious choice of material for a bathroom door, but it can work well if you combine it with barred, smoked, frosted or etched glass for a level of privacy. It will increase the amount of natural light in the room, and will look sleek and sophisticated. Choose a sliding ceiling-mounted pocket door for a real showstopping statement.
