Walk-in shower enclosures increase the footprint and appeal of small bathrooms. Further, it enhances the functionality aspect, and helps you to get more out of the existing space.

Here are some tips that can help you to design the perfect walk-in shower for your small bathroom.

  1. Make the most of bathroom walls - You can expand the space and utility of a small bathroom by having a walk-in shower with solid walls for holding vanity items.
  2. Use reflective surfaces - When you use reflective surfaces such as white painted walls, glass shower enclosures and tiled walls, light tends to move around better within the existing space, and in turn, this makes your bathroom seem larger and roomier.
  3. Use the corners - Corner spaces are ideal for walk-in showers as it gives you more flexibility to add accessories such as bench. You can also consider a neoangled design to increase the footage of your shower area.
  4. Mix and match materials - To enhance the looks of your bathroom, you can mix and match different materials such as marbles. For example, you can have a marble door frame and charcoal tiled walls for a modern look.
  5. Leave out the tub - If a shower is your preferred bath choice, consider leaving out the tub altogether. This can help you save some extra space, that you can use to have a larger shower.
  6. Combine shower and bath tub - When you're short on space, combine bath tub and shower area within a single enclosure. The obvious advantage is that the enclosure will prevent water from splashing on to vanity areas.
  7. Create an interior wall - Build the shower area in such a way that it creates an interior wall, so you can accommodate a vanity on that wall. This idea is sure to save you some space for other accessories like a bench or an extra closet.
  8. Use windows well - Windows are the best sources of light and ventilation, so think of a design that'll use the windows to provide natural light. In fact, when you have a shower area near the window, the natural light and air that comes through it, adds a new sensation to your bathing experience.
  9. Get creative - A small size doesn't necessarily mean a dearth of amenities. Instead of sacrificing your desired items, think of a design that can accommodate all of it without making it look cramped. You'll be surprised at what you can come up with!

In short, walk-in shower enclosures can enhance the looks of a small bathroom, and at the same time, can make it a cozy retreat for you at the end of a long day.
