The Spacious Compact Shower
Designing small spaces can sometimes feel like a puzzle, having one piece in the wrong place can prevent it all from coming together, and small bathrooms are no exception. Designers and homeowners alike can struggle to maximize space in one of the smallest (but highest trafficked) rooms in the house. Each designated area in the bathroom, even when meticulously thought out, can fall short in practice. Showers are the largest piece of that puzzle, and their placement, orientation, design, and finishes can greatly impact whether it adds to or takes away from the space’s functionality.
If You Are Designing From Scratch
A clean slate can seem like the easiest way to design a bathroom space that caters to your needs and also keeps space-saving solutions as a top priority, however, sometimes starting from scratch brings its own challenges and can make the process feel daunting. Consider your space and its allowances – placing a shower where the ceiling is at its highest point in the room helps to accommodate users of all heights and also creates the illusion of a bigger space. Ditch the shower and tub combo and opt for a standing shower with a glass door, this can help enhance the sense of openness. Additionally, extending the tile from your shower to other surfaces in the bathroom like the floors and walls creates a feeling of continuity and will make the space feel cohesive and larger.
If You Are Remodeling
If your space has the general layout in place and you want to adjust the finishes and possibly move a thing or two around to enhance the space – we have you covered. Swap out your shower door for a doorless shower by adding a glass panel divider near the showerhead. This helps open up the space while also preventing water from escaping the shower area. Opt for moving your shower area to the far corner of the room, this helps maximize the space for other elements while also making the bathroom seem more open.
If You Are Re-Designing Without Remodeling
If you aren’t in it for a full remodel, there are still plenty of things you can do with your shower area to create the illusion of an open and large space. Consider swapping out your showerhead for something like an oversized rain showerhead. Even in a compact space, it can make the shower feel bigger by dispersing the water over a larger area and overall making the experience feel more luxurious. Swapping out plain walls for white or reflective tiling also makes a compact space seem more open because of the way light will reflect off of them.
When it comes to maximizing the possibilities of a shower space – getting creative is the key. No matter if you are starting from scratch, reimagining an existing space, or just tweaking the finishing touches, thinking outside the box can help you find space-saving solutions you may not have considered otherwise. Exploring all avenues, be it space-saving layouts or finishes that emit a sense of openness, ensures that your design (or redesign) is up to par not only aesthetically but also highly functional.
