Showers are functional areas in any bathroom that must be functional while remaining attractive and attractive. But that doesn’t mean yours has to look plain! With modern materials like mosaic and tiles available to create eye-catching installations that make an impactful statement piece.
Escape the monotony of all-white and gray bathrooms by injecting eye-catching patterns via wallpaper or tile designs. Or make the shower more accessible for those with limited mobility by rerouting pipes to remove tub and add shower seat.
Corner Shower
Corner showers can be an ideal addition to smaller bathrooms where every inch counts. Selecting an ideal shower curtain, niches for toiletries, and an effective layout can create the feeling of more space in your room.
Make a statement in your shower by choosing an eye-catching pattern that stands out from the rest of your bathroom. Cerulean vertical tiles engulf this walk-in shower, creating a visual connection with adjacent vanity and bath areas. A matching towel nook and built-in bench keep the look consistent and cohesive; silver-sheen hardware adds another cool touch.
For an everyday upgrade in a classic shower space, add subway tile. Seri from Little Miss Party did so to complement her wainscoting and crown molding in her small bathroom. Or dress up an existing frame shower like Paige from Farmhouse Vernacular did to give it instant charm!
Curved Shower
Curved showers make an eye-catching design statement that can subtly change how you experience your bathroom. Curved walls remove sharp corners, creating the sense of more spaciousness while giving more options when selecting tiles and shower curtain styles.
If you have a small space but want to make an impressionful design statement, consider installing a walk-in shower that makes use of unusual architectural features like arched windows or curved walls. Add rain showerhead, built-in bench seating and hooks for loofahs and towels for an authentic spa-like experience at home.
For an elegant and sophisticated shower remodel, choose light colors that reflect more light to create an open atmosphere. Pair your neutral color scheme with marble tiles for an exquisite, natural aesthetic that is durable enough for everyday use; or experiment with shapes by mixing hexagon and penny round tiles into geometric designs to achieve unique geometric effects.
Tub and Shower Combo
When space is at a premium, opting for a tub shower combo makes sense. Not only will you still enjoy taking luxurious soaks or quick rinses – they may also increase the resale value of your home!
Make sure your shower-tub combo looks beautiful by making carefully considered design choices. Select a neutral palette to keep things sleek and sophisticated; consider using glass tile on an accent wall or in the shower area for visual interest and luxury.
Smart accessories that add functionality can also improve functionality, such as digital shower controls for an updated feel and seating areas that promote relaxation and comfort. To create a unified appearance, try matching shower pan and tub tiles; any contrast may lead to disjointedness in a bathroom space; for added visual interest consider including colorful patterns for visual interest.
Built-In Wall Niche
Wall niches have quickly become one of the hottest home trends of our modern era. Once used only in bathrooms as convenient shower shelves, these beautiful built-ins now serve as stylish home accents that add value and add style to any property.
These unique niches make an impactful statement when installed with beautiful tiles in a bold pattern, and can even feature lighting to highlight its decorative features.
An extra bathroom niche shelf can provide the ideal place for you to keep items such as extra bottles of shampoo or body wash, daily vitamins and medications close at hand. Install one in your entryway so keys, wallet and other important items won’t go missing when leaving the house!
Recessed Lighting
Recessed lights add visual interest while providing illumination in any space. Since these fixtures install flush with the ceiling, they save valuable floor space that could otherwise be taken up by hanging or chandelier lights.
Choose a different trim style to easily customize the appearance of your recessed lighting. Open trim exposes bulbs while offering minimalist aesthetic, or reflector trim provides more focused illumination in areas that need it.
Use recessed lighting to illuminate display pieces such as artwork or shelves. Recessed lights create an eye-catching shadow effect behind them that draws focus and makes objects seem three dimensional.
Install recessed lighting only using licensed electricians to ensure its safe installation in your home. Any attempt at electrical work without professional expertise could cause injury or even result in death.
Shower Seat
No matter whether it’s for quick rinses or longer bath soaks, a shower seat adds comfort and style. From freestanding benches to teak chairs, there is sure to be one suitable for both your space and decor needs.
Be sure to select an ADA-compliant seat, with an array of height adjustments suitable for users or caregivers, in the shower. When purchasing one, have someone stand behind you in the shower while measuring from behind your knee to the floor to ensure it fits exactly right.
When renovating or building new, add an inbuilt shower seat without taking up too much room or visual attention. These seats can provide permanent, strong seating solutions at a much more cost-effective solution than installing tub transfer systems.
