Shower Remodel Ideas for Your Small Bathroom

Did you know that the average person spends about 190 days of their life in the shower? That’s the equivalent of over 6 months! You deserve to spend that time in a beautiful yet functional shower. If you have a small bathroom, a full-scale shower remodel might not seem possible, but truly, it is.

Continue reading to learn our best tips for a small bathroom shower remodeling project. 

Opt for a Light and Bright Design

Here at Express Bath, we know that there’s no “one size fits all” bathroom solution for our customers. That’s why we offer a variety of different styles and colors for customers looking to remodel their showers. In a small space, we recommend using light and bright colors, which can visually make your bathroom look bigger than it is.

Replace Your Tub With a Standalone Shower

Have you thought about converting your existing bathtub into a standing shower? Since bathtubs have a larger footprint than most showers, you can open up your bathroom’s floor plan with a conversion project. Opening up this extra room in your bathroom can give you more space for storage, helping to make your small space more functional as well. 

Choose a Glass Door

Want to make your whole bathroom look bigger? Installing a glass door on your new shower is a simple way to do the trick. Since a glass door draws your eye to the back of the shower, it will make the whole room look larger. As a bonus, glass shower doors are easy to keep clean! 

Add Shelving to Your Shower

Most small bathrooms don’t have a lot of storage space, so the bathing area quickly becomes a “catch-all” for products. This clutter can make your small bathroom look even more cramped. When you’re remodeling your shower, consider adding built-in shelving as part of a thoughtful design that keeps your bathing area looking clean and open. 

Be Strategic About Where You Place Your Showerhead

Finally, when remodeling your shower, give some extra thought to where you place your showerhead. Putting it a bit higher on the wall can draw the eye up when you walk into the space. This can trick your mind into thinking your ceiling is taller than it actually is. As a result, your whole bathroom will look a bit bigger.
