One particular thing that can really take your space to the next level are outdoor shower columns. Not only are they practical, but they are also extremely stylish and will be a focal point in your space.

There are many different finishes of an outdoor shower column, and it is important to choose the right one, as it can have an impact on the ability to tie your outdoor space together. So, let's take a look at all the popular outdoor shower column finishes you can choose from:

Looking for something a little different but still has a true understated beauty? Well, you can’t go past a matte finish then! Matte finishes are very popular these days because they provide a sophisticated and modern appearance that many people are looking for. Not only does a matte finish look good, but it is also a great finish for hiding things such as water spots as well as fingerprints, making it an ideal option for outdoors.

2. Brushed Finish

If understated beauty isn’t your style, and you want more classic (in your face) beauty - then a brushed finish is an option you should certainly consider for your luxury outdoor showers. This finish has the ability to add true character to your space and will be a talking point for many years to come. An outdoor shower column with a brushed finish has the ability to better hide small scratches and other blemishes. This means if your shower column is in a high traffic area, a brushed finish could be the option for you.

3. PVD Finish

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is perfect for those creating a high-tech space! It is known for its durability along with its resistance to corrosion. So, if your outdoor shower column is particularly exposed to the elements, this option is perfect for you. This is an advanced coating that creates a hard, thin layer on the surface, which makes it extremely resistant to any scratches or environmental damage.

4. Polished Finish

Just like the brushed finish, the polished finish is more of a classic beauty. Polished finishes have been the most popular finish for many years - why fix something that isn’t broken! The high-gloss shine will certainly draw the eye, especially on sunny days where the light bounces off the outdoor shower column. With this finish, regular cleaning is required in order to maintain the perfect shine.

Conclusion

It is important to take the time to choose an outdoor shower column with the best finish for your space. Choosing the right option has the ability to tie the entire space together and really take it to the next level. The good news is that you’ve got so many options to choose from!
