6 Ways to Improve Your Primary Bathroom’s Shower
31st Oct 2024
A bathroom’s shower area has a big impact on the room’s aesthetic. If the shower is simply treated as a utilitarian space this can drag down the ambiance of the bathroom, but a well-styled shower area will elevate its surroundings. Try one or more of these pro tips to give your shower some TLC and thus upgrade your whole primary bathroom.
1. Clean it.
A shower door marred by water spots and soap scum does not
make a good impression! One way to quickly improve your primary bathroom’s
shower area is by giving it a deep cleaning. You may want to purchase special
products like grout cleaner and
water stain
remover
. With a sparkly clean door, you’ll also want to clear
out clutter from inside the stall.
2. Upgrade the shower head.
Many homeowners are able to DIY a shower head replacement.
You might consider upgrading to something special like:
- A rainfall shower head
- A handheld spray
- An LED lit shower head
There are also products that can be added to a shower head
for a better bathing experience. These include:
- Water softening filter
- Aromatherapy kit for essential oil diffusion
3. Replace the door’s knob or pull handle.
Another way to give a glass shower door a fresh look is by
changing its handle or knob. Shower pull handles are available in many styles
and finishes –

to see examples. You can replace yours as long as you order a new one that fits
your glass thickness and can be installed using the holes that were drilled in
the glass for the original handle. There are also many options for knobs, which

When replacing a knob, you also need to check the specs to ensure that it is
compatible with your glass and the diameter of the existing installation hole.
4. Buy a shower plant.
There’s no better way to give your shower instant
spa-inspired charm than by adding a shower plant. There are many online
resources for finding a suitable plant for your bathroom’s light and moisture
levels, and this

a great place to start. A plant not only brightens up the shower’s mood, but it
can also distract from any less appealing aspects that may be present.
5. Install a robe hook.
Maybe the problem is not so much the inside of the shower but
the mess around it. Giving yourself more storage options is always a win. A
sleeve over robe
hook
can be added to a glass shower enclosure after install.
Use it for a robe, a towel, a toiletries bag, or whatever you prefer!
6. Coordinate the shower’s interior.
Step back and look at your primary bathroom’s shower as if it
were a little room. Consider the décor and design possibilities. Ensure that it
is well-lit, and give it a theme and color scheme. For instance, the space may
currently have many different colors present from bottles of shampoo, body
wash, etc. However, you can order matching dispensers that will promote your
color scheme.
