4 Brilliant space-saving solutions for shower bath

Mar 04, 2022

The bathroom is often the smallest room in the home, so it’s not always possible to have a separate bath and shower. Thankfully, there are plenty of shower bath ideas that allow you to combine the two options and still make your space feel like a sanctuary.
1. Make it the centrepiece
Having a shower bath doesn’t mean you’re limited to standard fitted models. If you have your heart set on a freestanding tub, this can still form the centrepiece of your bathroom idea, and incorporate a shower. There are some gorgeous traditional-style shower rails, which can be suspended to allow you to hang curtains around the entire tub to prevent water splashes.

2. Include a luxurious ledge for storage
One way to give your shower bath spa-style luxe is by cladding it with textured stone tiles. This is especially effective if it’s the type you see in high-end hotels such as split face slate or quartzite stone. When it comes to shower storage ideas, this type of surface deserves more than a wire basket stuck to the wall with suction pads. Take things up a notch with a luxurious ledge for displaying shampoo and soap.
 
3. Install a sliding rail
When you’re considering shower ideas, the height of the shower head is important, whether you’ll be standing in the bath or on a shower tray. This is particularly pertinent if it’s a shower that the whole family will need to use. As glamorous as fixed overhead showers are, this may not be the best choice if it’s where the kids bathe too.

4. Mix tile styles
There are plenty of gorgeous shower tile ideas to choose. If you can’t decide on one style, mixing different tiles can be a highly effective solution. Laying tiny mirrored mosaics across an entire wall adds glamour and provides an interesting focal point.

Teaming these small shimmering tiles with large-scale plain matt tiles creates balance and prevents them over whelming a small space. A clear glass screen and simple polished chrome fittings are all you need to complement their eye-catching iridescence
