Bigger and Better Showers

If you haven’t already noticed, most homeowners are ditching their bathtubs for walk-in showers, so you might be thinking that this trend is nothing new. However, with this new trend, bigger is better. No one wants to fumble and bump into the walls while they are trying to shower, so consider installing an expansive shower that feels as luxurious as it looks. If you haven’t already removed your tub, now is a great time to do it so that you don’t have a crowded bathroom.

Built-in Shelves for Practicality

Sure, a seamless shower looks gorgeous in magazines, but is it really practical in everyday life? How are you supposed to shower without all of your soaps, shampoos, etc.? Without shelving, you’re left to buy hanging shower caddies that ultimately make your sleek shower feel a little cluttered and disorganized. In order to combat this dilemma, many homeowners are building shelves and benches right into the walls of their showers. This project also gives you a chance to play with beautiful accents colors and patterns.

One-Level Bathrooms

While the sleek and minimalistic trend obviously looks great, it plays another role that you might not realize until years later. When you ditch the curbs and steps in your bathroom, you not only become trendy, but you also make it easier and safer for you or aging loved ones to enter and exit the shower. If you add that bench we talked about earlier, you will hardly have any changes to make in the future when accessibility becomes an issue. 

Maintenance-Free Shower Walls

Let’s face it. Cleaning is called a chore for a reason. It isn’t fun, and you shouldn’t be spending more time cleaning your shower than you are actually utilizing it. For that reason, grout is out! Of course, tile looks beautiful, but if you don’t have time to scrub all the pores, mold and mildew quickly build up and make it look downright disgusting. To save yourself time, you can install shower wall panels, which are solid pieces of non-porous surfaces that you can easily wipe clean.
