What Bathroom Accessories Do You Need?
Showers have become an essential part of a bathroom, both for a family bathroom and en-suite. However, many smaller properties and older homes have small bathrooms. This can present a design challenge when trying to incorporate a shower.
With the right planning and selection, our June blog post is here to explore various shower options and provide insight on choosing the best shower for small bathrooms.
Small Shower Trays
Let’s get straight into it! Your first option is to go for a small shower tray and enclosure. These can be square, rectangular, or you can opt for a corner shower enclosure. Corner shower enclosures are a smart way to utilise the normally empty corner of a small bathroom. Making the most of your space. These showers often come with curves or angled glass doors, allowing easy access and providing a comfortable shower experience.
Space Saving Shower Doors
So you’ve found the perfect shower enclosure but you have a choice of different doors and openings? Opting for an enclosure with a pivoting door in a small bathroom is a great alternative to a standard hinged door. With a standard opening shower door, you’ll have to be mindful when opening not to bump into any toilets or vanity units. A pivoting door helps avoid unwanted knocks that you could expect with a standard door in a small bathroom.
To save on even more space whentilising a shower door, try to keep your eyes peeled for shower enclosure of shower doors with sliding doors, bi-ffold doors or in-fold doors to reduce your shower door footprint.
Bath Screens
If a bath is also a must in your bathroom, the best option may be to purchase a bath screen. Bath screens are a great option over a shower curtain as they will be more hygienic, premium quality, and using glass will visually create new sections of your bathroom, making it appear larger.
Walk-In Showers
Another choice for compact bathrooms is a walk-in shower. Walk-in showers, after a bit of thoughtful planning, can be an excellent choice for a small bathroom as they create a seamless and open feel. By eliminating a shower tray and an enclosure, you can visually expand your space.
Bonus tip: opt for a frameless glass enclosure to channel that seamless ambiance, allowing light to penetrate through. This will give the bathroom a spacious illusion as well as being more versatile as you do not have to match a coloured metal frame with the rest of your bathroom interior.
Conclusion
Choosing a shower for a small bathroom requires thoughtful consideration of space-saving solutions. By opting for walk-in showers, corner showers or by choosing the right door opening for you, finding the right shower for a small bathrooms can be a stress free experience.
