Even with a small bathroom space, it is possible to create an amazing walk-in shower that will be the envy of others. With a little creativity when it comes to layout and design, you can make something that is just as beautiful as it is functional. Here are some of our best ideas for you.
Keep it compact
Rather than go for a full-size shower, opt for a compact corner design. This requires much less floor space and leaves more room for you to set up other fixtures and bathroom furniture. They are very functional and if you want something a bit bigger, you can go for a neo-angled walk-in shower design that helps disguise any protruding corners in the room.
Incorporate a wall partition
Rather than a full glass shower, especially if your shower area is at the end of the room, have it separated using a section of wall. It is a trending style for door-less walk-in shower installations that people prefer for keeping the space open and airy while providing an extra surface to place items in the bathroom.
Skip the bathtub
If you have a bathtub, consider taking it out to provide even more generous room for a luxurious walk-in shower. Most people are too busy to enjoy a bathtub regularly and if you feel you might occasionally miss it, you can invest in a portable option to set up in your shower when you want the experience.
Have a window backdrop
If the layout permits, see if you can install your walk-in shower against a wall that has a window. With a glass-walled walk-in shower and high gloss tiles that reflect light, this will be a great way to create a beautifully illuminated space.
Light colors
When choosing the flooring and wall tiles for your walk-in shower, stick to light colors. Also, ensure the ceiling is painted white and switch to small or no crown molding. Light colors help to make a room feel more spacious. If you find the effect to be too bring, consider using marble tiles or adding some statement tiles as accents. A cheery splashback and colorful bathroom accessories can also help break the monotony.
Choose furniture that fits
When you have a small bathroom and decide on a walk-in shower, you need to ensure the other furniture, especially the toilet, sink, and any cabinetry are not going to overwhelm the remaining space. The are many built-in options you can use to conserve space and make even the smallest bathroom seem airy.
