Creative Ideas for Your Tiny House Shower

A small bathroom space can easily be made to feel really cramped if you don’t incorporate the right design elements. However, with a few creative ideas, you can convert your tiny shower into something functional and appealing – it just requires some out-of-the-box thinking.

1.     Glass doors

Glass has the great ability to make a space feel that much larger without any additional effort. If you have a tiny house shower, consider using sliding glass doors as these will create a sense of space without imposing on the existing bathroom floor space. Frameless glass, in particular, further expands the appearance of the bathroom size by creating an unending illusion.

2.     Corner showers

Installing the shower in the corner is one of the best spacing-saving techniques you can use for a tiny house shower. It will maximise the existing space without creating unusable corners and nooks that you feel compelled to fill with furniture or other design elements. Rounded shower designs or neo-angled showers reduce the footprint while providing a functional fitting.

3.     Vertical tile patterns

If you’re going for tiles in your tiny house shower then you should consider vertical tiles as these elongate the walls visually and make your shower feel that much taller. Remember to veer away from darker tones, rather opting for neutral and light-coloured tiles as these will reflect light to enhance the room’s brightness.

4.     Mirrors

In addition to your lighter tiles, adding mirrors to your tiny house shower is a simple yet really effective way to enhance the illusion of space. Consider using round mirrors as the shape is another easy way to extend that sense of space, whereas cornered shapes make it feel more compact and closed off.

5.     Recessed shelves

Even in a tiny house shower, you’re going to need somewhere to store your soaps, body washes, shampoos, and other bathroom lotions. Placing them on the shower floor will create a cluttered appearance, while shelves take up unnecessary space. This is where recessed shelves are a great idea – they keep the shower space clutter-free while providing you with the storage space you need.

6.     Foldable seat

Just because you only have space for a shower, doesn’t mean you have to stand. In fact, having a seat in a shower is a great safety aspect and ensures this is user-friendly for all ages. A foldable seat that can easily be flipped down in use, and folded up when not, is a great addition to a tiny house shower.

7.     Sliding door

Swinging doors take up space unintentionally, and where space is at a premium, you might want to consider the alternatives. The pocket or sliding door will maximise your floor space, and you don’t have to consider what it will hit when it opens.

8.     Multi-function fixtures

A tiny house shower calls for multi-purpose features that give you everything you want without cluttering up your space. You might want to look at something like a detachable showerhead with adjustable spray settings – some models even combine a rain showerhead with a handheld option, offering flexibility and comfort without taking up too much room.

9.     Natural light

The best thing you can do for any home design, big or small, is maximise on natural light – but this is particularly true of small homes, and even more so for tiny bathrooms where air circulation is vital. Maximise your windows for natural light and, where possible, consider a skylight to make the space feel open and airy.

10. Rustic

A popular design theme is the rustic, nature-based design and this works really well for tiny house showers as well. You could look at pebble floor tile and slate walls to bring in the natural effect, but remember to keep your tones lighter for a bigger sense of space.
