How You Can Make the Most out of Your Shower Space Today
Many modern homeowners are having to contend with a house market that is trying to make sense of a major push for urbanisation in South Africa. What this means for the average homeowner is that they are buying a home that is much smaller than what they might have grown up in. This is because more and more South Africans are flocking to South Africa’s larger cities in search of better economic opportunities. It also means there is a greater demand for housing.
To meet this greater demand, developers are building smaller homes, in order to produce more accommodation. In order to get the most out of your home, you need to maximise every squared centimetre of available space. This also means that you need to get as much out of your small bathroom as possible. It is because of this that many homeowners prefer only having a shower, as opposed to a bath unit that might take up more valuable floor space in an already-small bathroom. There are ways in which you can get more out of your small bathroom. Do this by making the most out of your shower space. Let’s take a closer look at how you can maximise your shower space, and make every available inch earn its keep.
Be Smart About Storage Space in the Bathroom
In any home, the shower is a catchall for bottles of shampoo and conditioner, sponges, soaps, and washcloths. These essentials end up accumulating the corners and eventually taking over valuable space. For a quick fix, considering hanging a stainless steel wire shelf system from the showerhead, or installing an expandable pole shelf unit in the corner.
Another tip for creating a shower that seems spacious is to install glass shower walls, as this gives the illusion of more space, and lets in more light. For those who do not have space or resources to install glass doors, replace the shower curtain rod with a curved rod to make the space feel larger. When you are not using the shower, keep the curtain open as it also helps to create the illusion of more space. Get more from your small shower by installing a handheld shower head on a slide bar. While it provides you with a spa-like feeling, it is also adjustable so that people of varying heights can use it comfortably. This is just one more way that you can personalise your shower to your specific needs, and to make the time spent in your bathroom more pleasant and enjoyable.
Show Your Creativity in the Little Details
While choosing important aspects of any bathroom like the tiles and other accessories are not always in your hands, other things are. Be creative when it comes to choosing towels, bathmats, and the shower curtain, as they allow you to personalise the space to your needs. Co-ordinate your accessories by basing them on a common theme like texture or colour, and you will be surprised how this balance between style and comfort can add to the spaciousness and enjoyment of a bathroom.
