Showers with built in benches

There are so many different styles of built in shower benches. If you`ve

got the space in your shower I think it`s definitely a great idea to

have a bench. It is so relaxing to be able to have a seat in the shower and

let the water pour over you. Don`t laugh, but I have sat down on the

floor of my shower many times and just let the water wash over me.

After a stressful day at the office, when your shoulders are all stiff and your little

head is going in circles thinking about all the work you have the next day,

that water beating down on your head (and imagining that you are in Hawaii sitting

under a waterfall in a private lagoon with a coconut drink waiting...don`t even ask

what our water bills are and yeah I come out with raisin fingers!) just

washes away all the stresses of the day.

Look at this tile and granite color combination. I never would

have though to put these two together, but it works to

add warmth to the shower.

With those dark grey tiles, if buying granite,

 I would have gone with a black granite bench top or a grey granite or maybe even

a blue granite shower bench. Are you sick of me saying granite? I would have also looked at using corian or quartz in white or you could add a wild splash of colour such

as red quartz, fushia quartz or lime green quartz (quartz,quartz,quartz heheheeee),

but I think I would stick with a neutral colour so I'd never get sick of it and

just add colorful towels if I wanted that punch of color.

Nice simple bench, and this shower wall and floor tile pattern is also really nice:

I really like this classic bench look:

Makes me think of the movie Rocky.

This u-shaped shower bench gives enough room for a

few people to sit and enjoy the steam shower.

Do you like any of these benches? If so which ones?

Have a great day.
