Is It Time For A Shower Upgrade?

If you're looking for a way to breathe new life into your bathroom, there's nothing quite like a freshly remodeled shower. This simple upgrade can turn a boring bathroom into a relaxing sanctuary and is an excellent investment for your home.

Need some inspiration? Here's a look at some of this year's hottest shower trends.

Built-In Storage Niches

One common problem with older showers is that there's never quite enough storage. A built-in wall niche will give you plenty of space to tuck away all your shampoos, body washes, and other personal products.

Install your new niche thoughtfully, and it will keep your items out sight, giving your shower a neat and streamlined look.

Curved Corner Showers

Corner showers have always been a popular way to maximize space in small bathrooms. You can give your corner shower a trendy look by choosing curved doors instead of the traditional square ones.

Not only does this create a trendy visual appeal, but it also gives you more design flexibility in bathrooms with awkward dimensions.

Statement Tiles

Changing out the tiles will completely refresh your shower. It's also a great way to pull together the overall aesthetic of your bathroom space.

There's a lot of room to have fun with this. Consider experimenting with a variety of colors, sizes, shapes, and designs to create a unique and appealing look.

Large-format wall tiles are also one of the hottest trends of 2021. Homeowners love them because they allow you to make a big statement with far fewer grout lines. Not only does this create a modern look, but it will also make your shower much easier to clean.

Upscale Shower Heads

Fancy showerheads are certainly not a new trend. However, they're definitely something to consider. Today's options continue to evolve, offering even more thrilling features.

Dual showerheads are popular now, as are high-pressure showerheads. They'll give you a deep clean and make each shower feel like a massage.

When it comes to choosing showerheads, the sky is the limit. You can even find options that incorporate LED lights and aromatherapy!

Frameless Doors

A "frameless" shower door is made of strong tempered glass that doesn't require a metal support frame around the outer edge. The clean lines and lack of visual obstruction create a sleek, modern look.

One of the reasons frameless doors are so popular right now is that they're perfect for showcasing upscale features like elaborate tiles, beautiful stonework, or gleaming new hardware.

Natural Light

Placing a window in or near your shower is a great way to increase natural light and give the space a bright, airy feel. Windows can also help with ventilation and add to the overall design of your space. Adding tinted film or frosted or textured glass will allow you to enjoy the light without sacrificing privacy.

If your roof allows for it, you may even consider adding a skylight. This modern trend will allow you to brighten up your space by taking advantage of the natural light coming from above.

When choosing your new shower design, remember to worry less about following the crowd and more about listening to what speaks to you. Design trends come and go, but if you go with your instincts, you'll be able to create a stunning design that you're sure to love for years to come.
