Bathroom showers provide an opportunity to customize the bath experience and can add value. From remodelling an existing tub or building a brand-new one, there are various design styles and options that suit individual preferences and vision.
Kate Marker Interiors created this patterned tile to add visual interest and luxuriousness. Brass fixtures add even more visual impact.
Stand-Up Glass Box
Shower glass comes in various textures and patterns to complement the design of any bathroom, while frosted glass provides an effective means of hiding spots or fingerprints while still letting in light.
Low-iron glass for shower doors and enclosures will help avoid the green tint that distorts colors, providing superior clarity that allows true tile colors to come through.
Add a contemporary look with a neo angle shower in one corner of your bathroom. Choose between flat or curved panels depending on what best fits your design aesthetic.
Ladder Towel Rack
Installing a towel bar near the shower makes drying towels quicker and keeps fresh towels easily within reach. Plus, its decorative touch adds visual interest as it keeps fresh towels at hand!
Towel ladders with multiple rungs for hanging towels look fantastic in bathrooms with plenty of wall space, but can be challenging to use in smaller baths. Deborah found a solution by adapting an IKEA IVAR side unit by adding pegs on its back for use as a towel rack.
Storage ideas that keep folded linens out in the open are ideal for bathroom decor, such as the shelves beneath this vanity that house towels while maintaining an orderly and streamlined appearance.
Build-In Shelf Alcove
Shower shelves offer an elegant way to organize shower essentials. Their easy access and effortless cleanability makes them an attractive addition to your bathroom, and can increase its value significantly.
Preformed tile shower niches are one of the easiest types of niches to install, as they come as sealed waterproof boxes that eliminate the need for separate waterproofing membranes. There are various sizes to suit standard wall stud spacing.
To create a customized shelf alcove, first install wall panels on either side of the shower to form a false wall and use a carpenter’s sliding bevel to cut its corner to form the shelf base.
Sliding Shower Door
Shower doors add beauty and functionality to a shower enclosure, both aesthetically and practically. Framed designs come equipped with tracks while frameless options feature hinges.
To select the ideal shower door, measure its opening width before deciding whether you want an inward-opening or outward-opening door.
Pivot doors rely on hinges to open in either direction for access to a shower or tub, though for maximum effectiveness this must be perfectly aligned; also taking up more space than their counterparts, pivot doors may not be appropriate in small bathrooms.
Graphic Tile
Add an eye-catching splash of color and design flair with decorative shower tile. From intricate small patterns that catch the eye close up but look completely different at a distance to bold graphic designs, there’s ample opportunity for expression through creative shower tiles.
Install the same tile from the shower floor to the walls for a sleek, seamless look that also makes cleaning simpler. Doing this helps create the illusion that the entire space feels bigger by disguising visual distinctions between the shower area and rest of room, and giving an illusion of larger dimensions.
HomebyPolly uses hexagon mosaic tiles in her modern bath for maximum visual interest while not overwhelming it. They offer various colors and patterns to compliment any bathroom design scheme.
Retro-Cool Royal Blue Tile
Blue bathroom tile is an ageless classic that can transform a spa-like atmosphere or boost morning energy, and pair beautifully with any style choice, including contemporary stacked subway tile and brass hardware such as this room’s drawer pulls and round-edge mirror from @sisalla_interior_design.
Green tiles add nature-inspired hues to a bathroom and pair beautifully with wood accents for an earthy, farmhouse aesthetic. To modernize, choose patterned green tile like Annie Selke Artisanal Sky handmade-look tiles seen here.
Pale Blue Penny Mosaic
Bring the seaside feel into a bathroom shower using pale blue penny round mosaic tiles with slip-resistant surfaces and pair them with white bathroom vanities and wooden shower cabins for an elegant, soft aesthetic.
Homeowners looking for something dramatic will find black penny round tiles an ideal way to achieve it. Not only can these versatile tiles fit with any color scheme, they stand out even more when combined with monochromatic bathrooms.
Make your designs pop with stone mosaic penny tiles that evoke shell-like structures, perfect for kitchen backsplashes and shower niches. Their shimmering surface adds depth and dimension.
