How Complete Shower Units Can Make the Most of Your Small Bathroom
If you are in the process of updating the look of your property, you will probably already know that the best places to start is the bathroom and the kitchen. Installing new complete shower units and throwing out all the old-fashioned tiles and other décor can transform your bathroom. Instead of having the old bath and shower with a shower curtain, why not make the most of your small bathroom by installing a modern complete shower unit? This is especially true if you have a small bathroom. Nowadays, so many apartments are smaller than the ones built in the fifties and sixties, and the modern flats in cities tend to maximise the smaller floor space by compromising on the size of their bathrooms.
People tend to underestimate how important selecting the right shower unit can be. Because a shower is usually used at least once a day, some serious thought should be given to the needs of the people using the shower, and a suitable shower unit should be chosen. In small bathrooms, it is vital that the shower remains as functional as possible. Here are some tips when it comes to choosing the most suitable complete shower unit for your bathroom.
- Maximise available space: There are a lot you can do to take advantage of literally every square centimetre of floorspace. Installing a complete shower unit saves a lot of space. A good corner unit can provide you with a bigger shower while still making great use of the available floorspace. Just because space is limited, it should not stifle your creativity, and finding a good supplier of great bathroom and complete shower units is paramount.
- Keep colours light: If you stick to light colours, it creates an illusion of space. The most practical solution is to stick to white or off-white. These colours are not only associated with cleanliness, but it is also possible to update the look of the bathroom or adding splashes of colour by just changing the soft furnishings, such as towels, toilet covers, and bathroom mats. A dark bathroom will look smaller, and even with the best and most compact complete shower unit in the world, it could still end up looking small and dingy with the wrong colours.
- Get a modern shower stall: Bye to the old and in with the new! Those brick shower cubicles with the shower curtain should go. Instead, find a modern, sleek shower unit with a glass door or divider to make the space look bigger. At GEZA, you will find a range of modern complete shower units that will look great in any bathroom – big or small – and a variety of designs that will allow you to find the best shape of shower stall.
- Use mirrors: It is a well-known fact that using a mirror to reflect light (and the rest of the room) can vastly increase the perception of space. Bathrooms are no exception, and full-length mirrors in the shower or against a wall, or a large vanity mirror added in the right location and at the right height, can change the look of the bathroom completely.
- Clever lighting: Lighting can make or break a room, and nowadays there are so many fantastic lighting concepts out there than it is much easier than it used to be to choose the right lighting. Experts recommend that you enlist the services of a professional to come and do your lighting and to make the most of the space you have in your bathroom and your shower unit.
- Carefully choose showerheads: Low-quality showerheads often get blocked easily. Get a high-quality shower that will eliminate the need for constant cleaning of the showerhead, and your showering experience will be a lot more pleasant for a lot longer.
- Safety first: It is vital to get a mixer tap, especially if the shower is used by children. A good mixer tap will largely prevent scalding and have a temperature control that is easy to operate by everyone.
