Bathrooms are one of the most popular spaces for renovation in the US. In many bathrooms, the shower area is the largest and most prominent part of the space, which means that improving it can level up the entire room. In this piece we’ll explore a few different possibilities to fit a range of budgets, tastes, and bathroom situations.

1. Stage the interior of the shower stall.

 

A fun and easy way to improve a shower is by styling its interior. First, empty the stall and give it a thorough cleaning. Don’t forget about easily overlooked areas like:

• The grout lines between tiles
• The underside of the faucet
• Shower door tracks (if present)
• The shower head

 

Once the inside has been emptied and cleaned, take a fresh look at it and come up with your vision for the improved shower. You might need to add a surface or two in order to display your desired items. Possibilities for additional storage include:

• A teak stool
• A small glass shelf on metal clamps in a finish that coordinates with your shower hardware
• A hanging shower caddy to hold toiletry items and free up other surfaces

 

Plants, seashells, and matching decanters for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are all items that can spruce up a shower.

 

2. Replace your shower curtain with glass.

 

This is an especially helpful tip if you’ve spent time staging your shower area. Once it’s looking its best, you don’t want to hide it behind a curtain, so clear glass is appealing. Popular shower enclosure configurations include:

• Sliding shower door systems
• An in-line door and panel enclosure with a hinged door and a fixed panel fastened with clamps
• Two swinging doors, known as French doors
• A single glass panel attached with clamps or U-channels

 

Clear glass is the most popular pick, so the hardware finish you choose will have a notable effect on the completed project. Some of today’s favorite choices are brushed nickel, satin brass, and matte black.

 

3. Upgrade accessories placed near the shower area.

 

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly improvement, you can simply improve some or all of the accessories found around the shower stall. Possibilities include:

• A bamboo bathmat
• Linen towels
• Turkish cotton towels
• Natural, high-end hygiene items
• Genuine sea sponges

 

4. Add special features to the shower area.

 

Last but not least, there are a number of special features that can be added to a shower. Try one or more of these for an enhanced showering experience:

• An aromatherapy kit for the shower head
• A rain-style shower head
• The addition of a hand-held shower spray
• An LED lighted shower head
• In-shower speakers
