Your shower may be designed for cleaning, but that doesn't mean it's easy to keep clean and organized. In our haste to suds up, rinse off, and rush out the door, we forget our showers need a little TLC too. The few shelves and ledges in a shower can quickly become crowded and cluttered with frayed loofahs, dull razors, and a never-ending collection of soap. It's not a good look, and it's time to take action and address the growing mess.
Fortunately, this problem isn't yours alone. There are many companies, professional cleaners, home organizers, and more that have developed products and ideas for better shower storage. Here are 20 of our favorite ideas to help you spruce up your shower.

Add a Hamper

Avoid damp towels tossed on the floor and dirty clothes strewn about by adding a hamper near your shower. Select a pretty hamper to improve your bathroom's decor and style.

Make Your Bottles Uniform

Shampoo and soap bottlers can be loud and vibrant as a means of catching your eye as you walk down the grocery store aisle, but that same color scheme can be obnoxious in a bathroom. Transfer your soaps into matching bottles to create a clean look in your shower.

Put Soaps on the Wall

If you're lacking shelf space in your shower, a sleek alternative to moving your soaps into matching bottles is a mountable soap dispenser. The tinted color of the example here helps the storage solution look minimal and cohesive.

Use a Ladder for Towels

We've all seen bathrooms with plastic hooks and boring rods in a dated silver finish for hanging towels. If you want a practical and pretty storage solution, consider a petite ladder instead. It's quick, easy, and absolutely gorgeous.

Utilize the Windowsill

Not every homeowner has a windowsill in their shower, but those who do should make the most of the feature. Be sure to keep your storage minimal on this natural shelf and consider adding a plant or two for aesthetic appeal.

Add a Small Stool

One way to increase the storage space in your shower while also adding to the design is with a small stool or table. This is a particularly ideal option for bathrooms that include both a tub and shower. Top it off with a small vase or candle.

Add a Bathtub Tray

Another storage idea for dual bathtub and shower owners is a wooden bathtub tray. While this is especially beneficial for those who like the occasional bubble bath, it is also an adorable decorative addition that'll make your bathroom feel like a spa.

Place a Bamboo Shelf by the Shower

Depending on the size of your shower, a shower caddy or suction shelf may not be the ideal storage solution. Instead, consider a bamboo shelf just outside the shower, so your towels and soaps are still accessible without crowding the shower itself.

Create a Symmetrical Look

If you share your bathroom with a partner or child, the clutter can be even more overwhelming. A great option for these individuals is a symmetrical storage solution. The storage solution above is a great example and utilizes the matching soap bottles idea as well.

Add a Shelf Across the Shower Wall

Another storage solution for your shower that adds both space and visual appeal is a shelf that spans the shower wall. While this can be a more complex addition, it is certainly worth the time and effort.

Just a little extra storage space may be all you need to keep your shower neat and tidy. If that's you, a couple of petite corner shelves might be the perfect addition to your shower. They're easy to find, easy to install, and they don't look half bad either!

Fit Your Shelf to Your Storage

More storage space isn't always better. When you're shopping for an additional shelf or shower caddy, aim to match your storage solution to your storage needs. The option pictured here, for example, has only enough space for shampoo and conditioner, which will help keep clutter to a minimum.

Go Big With a Tension-Mount Shower Caddy
@afreshspace / Instagram
If you share your shower with multiple family members, a traditional shower caddy or a single suction shelf may not cut it. An alternative idea for those who need ample storage space is a tension-mount shower caddy. This option has plenty of room for the whole family.

Add Indented Shelving
@breathing.room.home / Instagram
For those in need of a more drastic change, and perhaps even an entire remodel, make room for some indented shelving in your shower. While this idea certainly requires more effort than other storage solutions, it will make a stunning (and functional) addition to your shower space.

Pick Out a Cute Bench
@mikaperry / Instagram
If you're not a fan of the classic shower caddy, what about a petite bench? This is a less common, but just as effective, storage solution that also adds some visual interest. This wooden option, for instance, adds a pop of natural color in a neutral shower.

Tension Pole / Tension Rod Shower Organization Ideas
The two tension pole shower organizers shown below are a great “no tools” way to add shelves to your bathtub.
Vertical Tension Rod Shower Shelf SystemVertical Tension Rod Shower Shelf System by SimpleHuman (Photo credit: Walmart. com)Here is a cool shower organization idea from the company called “simplehuman”.
It is a vertical tension pole that is spring-loaded to help keep itself in place. It can adjust from 6-feet to 9-feet.
This shower organizer has rubber feet on the top and bottom to prevent damage to your tub and ceiling, and to help keep secure it.
The three stainless steel shelves can slide up and down on the pole so you can adjust them to fit a variety of shampoo bottle sizes. And they have a couple storage hooks for razors or toothbrushes.
Plus, there is a towel rack to hang facecloths, loofahs or scrubbing brushes.

Tension Pole Shower Organizer (by ALLZONE)
Here is another tension pole corner shower organizer.
This one is from a different company. It is made by ALLZONE.
What’s cool about this one it is very adjustable.
You can adjust it from 54-inches to 114-inches…so a huge range of heights are possible with this organizer. So it could be used in a bathtub, or in most stand up showers.
Will this work for you?

Tension Rod Shower Caddies DIYShower Organization Idea – tension rod shower caddiesA clever DIY shower organization idea to help get shampoo bottles off the bottom of the tub is to put in a second shower rod or tension bar along the back wall.
As you can see in the picture, the white tension bar was added close to the back shower wall.
Then you can use some dollar store baskets and S-hooks to hang your stuff from the rod.
And within minutes you’ll have tension rod shower caddies, and you could have one caddy for each person if needed.
Hanging Shower Caddies and Shower Organizers
In this section I’ll highlight some shower caddy ideas and other hanging shower organizers that will help you get the shampoo bottles off the rim of the bathtub.
Shower Caddy with Angled Shelves
This design by the iDesign company immediately caught my eye.
The angled shelves look so cool.
There are 6 angled shelves and 2 flat shelves plus some hooks for hanging face clothes, razors, etc..
There is a suction cup on the bottom of the organizer to stick it to the wall. This should help stop it from swaying side-to-side.
The picture above shows the organizer in a “Silver” finish, but it is available in several different colors.

Adjustable Shower Caddy (by simplehuman)Hanging Shower Caddy by simplehuman (Photo credit: Walmart.com)This rust-proof shower caddy by simplehuman comes with a 5 year warranty.
It has a clamp on the top that clamps to your shower head water outlet. And there are two suction cups at the bottom that stick to the shower wall.
You can adjust the height of the shelves up and down to accommodate different size of bottles.
Plus, you can adjust the shelves side-to-side as well. And there is a hanging razor holder, and a soap tray.

Over the Shower Door Hanging Organizer (by iDesign)Over the Shower Door Organizer by iDesign (Photo credit: Walmart.com)This is a cool idea!
It hangs from your glass shower doors (or glass shower wall) and provides you 4 baskets to put your shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc…
And on the backside – the dry side – there are hooks to hang up your towels.
Very clever shower organizer for a small stand up shower.
But the manufacturer said the shower doors cannot be more than 2-inches wide.

Wire Hanging Shower Caddy (hangs from shower head)
This shower caddy by iDesign helps keep your smaller shower items off the lip of the tub.
I say small things because if you have big, round shampoo bottles I don’t know if they’d fit. (It says it is only 4-inches deep.)
It has two small suction cups at the bottom so you can stick it to your shower tile to prevent swaying side to side.

Using a Mesh Bag to Hang Bath Toys from a Shower CaddyMy friends have a shower caddy similar to the one shown above.
They use mesh bags to hang their kids’ bath toys.
Clever idea.
Hang bath toys in mesh bags from shower caddy hooksExpandable Hanging Shower CaddyZenna Home Shower Organizer (Photo credit: Walmart. com)Here is another hanging shower caddy.
What’s cool about this shower organizer from Zenna Home is that 4 shelves can slide sideways to accommodate for the hoses of handheld showers.
It is a popular and well-rated shower storage idea.

Simple Over-the-Door Hanging Shower BasketMy family member was struggling with shampoo bottles sliding around at her feet in her RV shower. (As shown in the photo below.)
Stop shampoo bottles from cluttering your shower floorAnd the solution was simple enough.
She bought a simple over-the-door shower basket to hang over her shower doors.
She bought this basket from a dollar store. (It may have been a Dollar Tree shower caddy.)
Over-the-Door Hanging Shower BasketIt is simple and cheap solution, but it does the trick.

- 27 simple RV Bathroom Storage Ideas
A hanging organizer with mesh pockets (like the one shown above) can be a great way to organize personal care items for multiple family members. This one shown here by the MISSLO company has 15 mesh pockets.
What is cool about this organizer is that you can hang it on the WET or DRY side of the shower rod depending on your needs.
Because it is mesh and quick-drying you can put it inside the shower to hold shampoo and conditioner, and it’ll dry after it gets wet.
Or you can hang it on the outside of the shower curtain (the dry side) and use it to store other toiletries if you don’t have adequate bathroom drawers or cabinets.
These hanging organizers allow you to store a lot of stuff in a small space.

Shower Wall Shelves and Shelving Systems
Many new bathtubs and showers have shelves and ledges built right in.
But if your shower doesn’t, or if it isn’t adequate, here are some shower wall shelves that may suit your needs.
I have separated into ones that use an adhesive to stick to the wall, and ones that use suction cups.
Classy wall shelf with hanging hooks (adhesive)
This is a classy-looking shower wall shelf that also has 4 hooks to hang small shower items from (like clothes, sponges, razors, etc…). It is made by a company called KINCMAX.
It is a “no tools required” installation.
It sticks to the wall using an adhesive paste.
Apparently it is pretty strong adhesive because the manufacturer claims it can hold up to 15 pounds.
Check Current Price of this Shower Wall Shelf
Shower Organizer Corner Caddy (adhesive)
This is a 2 shelf corner caddy made by Simple Houseware that sticks to the shower wall using adhesive pads.
The adhesive pads have a small hook on them, and then you hang the shelf system from the hooks.
If you have a small tiled shower with not much room to place an organizer along a shower wall, check out a shower corner organizer like this one to make use of that space.
Check Current Price on Amazon
3-Pack of Shower Wall Shelves (adhesive)
The company called Orimade makes these stainless steel shelves that stick to your shower wall using adhesive pads.
It’s cool that since the shelves are all separate you can arrange them throughout your shower or bathroom to fit your needs.
These are a good shower storage idea for people with tiled showers who don’t want to drill into their walls.
Check Current Price of these Shower Shelves
Shower Organizer Corner Shelves (adhesive)
Here is a cool shower organization idea. It is a 2-pack stainless steel shelf that fits into the 90-degree corners of your shower. It is made by a company called SMARTAKE.
It sticks using an adhesive so you don’t need to drill into tiles.
But because it is adhesive it means it’ll only work on tiles, marble and tempered glass.
CLICK here to see more details on Amazon.
Shower Shelf Basket by KESOL (adhesive)
This 2-pack of shower shelf baskets is made by a company called KESOL.
It is made from stainless steel. You can get it in silver (like shown below), or in black.
It sticks to the wall using an adhesive patch. The patch has three hooks sticking out from it so you hang your baskets form the little hooks.
The manufacturer said it will stick to ceramic tiles, marble, metal, glass and mirrors.
And if you ever need to remove it, you heat it with a hair dryer and then peel off.

Shower Wall shelf with suction cups
Using organizers that have suction cups is another “no tools required” shower organization idea.
This waterproof bathroom wall shelf sticks to the shower wall using suction cups. No drilling required.
It’s neat that it has the little hooks on the bottom to hang back scrubbers, soap on a rope, etc..
Click Here for More Details
Suction Cup Wire Basket for your Shower
This is a neat wire basket shower organizer with suction cups made by a company called Hasko Accessories.
For a suction cup, it is important that your wall is flat, smooth and non-porous.
And this company actually has an installation video on their Amazon page so I suggest you watch that. (It is more than just slapping it up against the wall.) They claim it’ll hold up to 20 lbs.

Shower Cabin Bathroom Design: 30 Modern Designs
Decorating a small space is not easy, especially when it comes to the bathroom, where comfort usually doesn't go hand in hand with style. And what kind of interior design can we talk about if a significant part of an already tiny room is cluttered up by the bath itself?
Crowding, however, does not mean that you need to limit yourself in comfort - designers offer many options for a stylish and modern bathroom arrangement so that you can comfortably take water treatments. nine0003
And it is advised to start with a rather progressive step: to replace bathtubs with shower cabins, which more and more people have begun to give preference to. It is understandable - cabins are not only much more convenient and practical than baths, but they also take up much less space.
Another plus: shower enclosures blend harmoniously into any interior design. Here are some of the many ideas you can implement in your own bathrooms.
Stay in style
In order for the bathroom to look harmonious and complete, the shower cabin in it, like a piece of furniture in any other room, should not stand out from the general style. And since the cabins themselves are quite laconic in design and faceless, they will look best in modern and minimalist styles. nine0003
1. Hi-tech style bathroom with shower cabin
The first thing that comes to mind is the hi-tech style. Strict, discreet, but at the same time functional, it is most suitable for placing a shower cabin. The main thing is that it does not differ too much from the rest of the furniture and plumbing in the room, which, as a rule, is dominated by glass, tiles, mirrors and metals. Hi-tech also involves the use of a discreet palette and geometric shapes in interior design. nine0003

2. Loft-style bathroom with shower cabin
The loft style manages to combine many different elements, from pipes and metals to wood. And such a variety is perfect for a bathroom with a shower, which can be matched to the whole environment, choosing, for example, a glazed version of the shower with imitation of forged inserts. But it is better to refuse partitions, since for the loft style it is important to have space and the absence of any clutter. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
3. Scandi-style bathroom with shower cabin
Small bathrooms can also be decorated in Scandinavian style, which is characterized by light, comfort and homely simplicity. In this case, preference should be given to white and beige finishes, and mosaic or tile patterns should be used as bright accents. Wood will also give life to the bathroom, which can be used both in the same finish and as a material for furniture. nine0003
Soft lighting and decorations, such as wicker baskets, a rug or neatly folded towels, will be the final touches in an interior design project.

4. Bathroom with shower cabin in classic style
For the classics, it is best to use an open or glazed shower cabin, and equip the bathroom itself in light, discreet colors, such as white, gray or light blue. They will emphasize the luxury of the chosen style, as well as the decoration with natural materials (stone or marble) and the furniture that matches the design. Decor items will also help to add gloss to such a bathroom: mirrors in elegant frames, carpets, intricate gold or silver lamps. nine0003

Bathroom decoration
Designers offer design options using both traditional ideas and original materials that are not quite typical for the bathroom.
5. Tile
Tile is the ideal solution for bathroom decoration, because this material is resistant to moisture, easy to clean and also suitable for floors and walls.
Perhaps this is why many people find tiles too boring and unsuitable for an unusual bathroom design, but even a simple material can look advantageous if you carefully choose colors or alternate tiles of different colors. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
6. Mosaic patterns
shower cabin. However, be careful with a large mosaic: it can visually narrow an already not very spacious room.
Photo by ReRooms
7. Wood
Wood has long established itself as a versatile material that can make the atmosphere in the room cozy and give it high cost and sophistication. The use of wood can also be found in the bathroom, using other materials that imitate it as decoration. For decorating a shower cabin, wood is perfect, because it fits into most styles. It is only important to choose the most moisture-resistant rock and process it accordingly. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
8. Brickwork
Brickwork also looks unusual and modern in the bathroom, especially when combined with tiles or other finishing materials to form interesting accents in the room. At the same time, it is not necessary to use a stylized brick - in some design options, a rough wall finish will also look good, for example, in loft-style bathrooms.
Photo ReRooms
9. Granite
Granite tiles are used to give the bathroom an aristocracy and luxury. It looks expensive and self-sufficient in many interior styles, not only in classic ones. Granite is also perfect for a shower cabin, as it is highly durable and easy to clean.
Photo ReRooms
10. Marble
Another natural material that transforms the bathroom and makes it spectacular. Marble looks expensive and elegant, is durable, so it can also be used as a material for a shower tray. This decision will also have a beneficial effect on the design, as it will allow the shower cabin to become a natural part of the entire interior. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
Color solutions
Often, the way we perceive a particular room is influenced by the colors in which it is made. A similar rule applies to the bathroom, where, in the absence of real space, one has to look for other ways to add lightness to the room.
11. Universal White
White color adds space and light to any room, which is especially important for a bathroom isolated from both. In addition, white fits the style of any interior, which means that a shower cabin in combination with it will look advantageous. It is important not to overdo it with white, as a solid color will make the room visually static and uninviting. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
12. Beige and brown tones
Soft and neutral shades, such as beige, cream or sand, are best for relaxation and relaxation. Therefore, they are the best suited for decorating the bathroom and creating a cozy atmosphere in it. You can dilute a boring monochromatic palette with brown or white, but it is not recommended to combine more than two or three colors of a similar range.
Photo ReRooms
13. Black accents
As a base color for a bathroom, black may not always look advantageous, as it visually narrows the space, but it will be good as separate accents in the room. For example, one black wall, combined with other materials, will visually add height to the bathroom. A similar effect will be produced by a black floor in combination with light walls.
Photo by ReRooms
14. Neutral Gray
Another suitable color for the bathroom is gray, which has different shades of temperature and brightness. This explains its versatility: gray will suit any style of interior and will be perfectly combined with different materials, including glass and tiles, in which shower cabins are most often made. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
15. Marine colors
There is nothing more natural for the bathroom than water shades: blue, blue, turquoise. Traditionally, they are used to decorate an entire room, but they fit much more harmoniously into a light modern design as separate elements, such as flooring or some furniture.
Photo by ReRooms
Shower cabin
In order to create a fashionable interior in the bathroom, you need to think about how the shower cabin itself will look like. There are several basic options for its design, each of which fits a specific design or size of the bathroom. nine0003
16. Open shower enclosure
The most versatile shower enclosure that does not require special finishing or matching with the rest of the furniture. An open shower cabin, although it seems bare and empty, in modern minimalist styles is combined with the decor and design of walls and floors, and in seasoned classics it does not draw attention to itself.
Photo by ReRooms
17. Corner shower cabin
This version of the shower cabin is the least overall, and therefore best suited for a small bathroom. At the same time, the small size does not mean at all that the corner shower cannot be designed in accordance with the rest of the furniture. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
18. Shower cabin without tray
Another economical option, which at the same time makes the task of the designer easier, since trays in the shower cabin can often not fit into the overall style of the bathroom or stand out ugly on a flat floor.
Photo by ReRooms
19. Glazed shower cabin
Glazed shower cabins exist in various variations that will suit both a bright and brutal loft, and natural and cozy scandi. In addition, glass is a convenient and versatile material. The main thing is to choose the most durable for your own safety. nine0003
Photo ReRooms
20. Shower cubicle with partition
When space allows, it is more convenient to resort to zoning in the bathroom and separate the shower cubicle with a partition. Of course, it will not completely hide the shower from the rest of the interior, but in our case this is not necessary - a partition finished with the same material as the walls in the bathroom will protect the room from water, but will not block the light. And at the same time it will not create the effect of even greater tightness.
Photo ReRooms
21. Shower cabin behind the wall
If you are a happy owner of a spacious bathroom, you can not bother trying to squeeze the shower cabin into the farthest corner, but immediately allocate a separate area behind the wall for it, which can be finished in accordance with the style of everything interior.
Photo by ReRooms
22. Shower cabin in a niche
If the bathroom has a niche, it can be converted into a shower cubicle. This will not only save space, but also naturally separate the shower from the rest of the room. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
Lighting
Properly selected lighting plays an important role in the arrangement of the bathroom, since the atmosphere in the interior largely depends on it. Will it be cold and uncomfortable or conducive to relaxation - it is the light that decides.
23. Soft light
Although many people prefer to install lamps with bright white light in bathrooms due to the lack of windows, soft lighting contributes to greater comfort in the atmosphere, which does not tire the eyes, plumbing fixtures and surfaces of furniture and walls don't shine as much. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
24. Area lighting
Selective lighting of different areas of the bathroom creates a special cosiness. It not only forms accents on the most important objects in the interior, but also complements the main light source where its power is not enough, for example, in front of a mirror or sink. For this function, you can use not only sconces and LEDs, but also spotlights.
Photo ReRooms
25. Light in the shower cabin
In a small bathroom with a walk-in shower, the lack of lighting can be made up for by light directly in the shower. A similar solution has recently been often used, not to mention the fact that it provides comfort and convenience of water procedures. At the same time, you can add light to the cabin, using discreet LEDs or the same local lights that fit into minimalist styles.
Photo by ReRooms
Important is in the details
The last but not least place in our article is given to decor items that allow you to make the bathroom interior cohesive and truly cozy. nine0003
26. Shelves and wall decorations
Many people think that shelves clutter up space and disfigure bathroom walls. In fact, it is often thanks to the shelving consistent with the overall design, numerous shelves and hanging cabinets that the room seems to stretch upwards. Not to mention how many useful things you can place on them and thus perfectly use the entire space of the bathroom.
Photo by ReRooms
27. Bathroom mirror
In addition to its main function, a mirror in the interior visually enlarges the space, which is especially beneficial for cramped and small bathrooms. And do not forget to choose a frame that matches the overall style of the bathroom, then the mirror will also be a significant piece of decor.
Photo by ReRooms
28. Stylized decorations
You shouldn't overdo it with accessories in the bathroom - the effect of clutter and disorder may appear. Nevertheless, well-chosen decor items give the room comfort. These can be candles, vessels and containers for storing small things, bottles with perfumes or oils. In other words, everything that can be stored in the bathroom and at the same time not hidden from prying eyes. nine0003
Photo by ReRooms
29. Plants
Despite the fact that plants have a place in more spacious, lighted and lived-in rooms, they can also please the eye in a small amount in the bathroom. If possible, try to choose living and ornamental plants that will suit any style and will not be demanding on the conditions of detention. Succulents, which are gaining more and more popularity, will become a universal option.
Photo ReRooms
30. Fabrics
Finally, all kinds of fabrics that soften the interior create a feeling of home comfort, so feel free to use them not only for their intended purpose, but also for decoration. Put a soft rug in front of the shower, hang terrycloth bathrobes on the walls and fold towels in neat piles or cozy rolls.

14 nuances and 103 real photos
I have identified 14 nuances that you should think about when designing a bathroom with a shower cabin. Although it is better to refuse the cab itself. she is a relic of the past. We will analyze everything with examples and real photos. nine0284
Types
A shower can be organized in many ways, but not all of them make sense. The criterion is design/price ratio. The stylish design of the bathroom is only possible with a shower without a cabin.
Shower Cabin
Fact: Cabin is the worst design and most pointless option, there is no reason to choose it in the bathroom. There are rare exceptions (there will be photos) when the cabin looks good, but then the price is appropriate. Average-priced showers are described in one word: Chinese.
In addition to external squalor, you will also find something tactile. No one makes showers out of thick acrylic like bathrooms. They are made of thin plastic that creaks, bends and staggers all over. If you don't take my word for it and still want a cab, be sure to look at it before buying and touch it. nine0003
All additional features like radio, lighting, massage jets and other things are absolutely useless. In fact, only a rain shower is needed. In addition, all nozzles, hoses and connections constantly leak.
The difference between the cabin and other types of shower in the bathroom is the roof. The cabin is completely closed and because of this there is no ventilation in it, which means you will have to constantly keep the doors to it open so that mold does not appear.
Examples of good shower cabins in the bathroom (but they cost space):
However, the trendy design of the bathroom does not include a cabin.
Two-in-one bathtub with shower enclosure
A rectangular bathtub is sufficient for this variant. A glass curtain is installed on the side of the mixers. The curtain can be folding or static. For a soul without fanaticism, this option is enough. If you do not plan to take a shower while standing, then there is no point in the curtain.
Sometimes rails for sliding doors are installed on the edge of the bathtub. This makes little sense. and curtains are enough. The length of the bath is enough so that the spray does not scatter. nine0003
Completely enclosed 2 in 1 options available - shower with bath. In fact, it's just an enlarged cabin. See the previous paragraph for it. The design is just as awful.
Shower enclosure
The only turnkey solution that makes sense is the shower enclosure. First of all, because of the low price. It costs less than a glass door and walls. The corner consists of a pallet, rails and doors. They usually don't have a roof. nine0003
The two corner walls still need to be tiled. Buy and install a faucet too. It is not suitable for a premium bathroom design, but it is quite suitable for an economy class interior.
The cheapest ones have plastic instead of glass. In this case, they backlash even more. When installing, it is better to move away from the recommended number of fasteners and do it with a margin. The most dangerous place is the junction of the pallet with 2 walls. They should fit perfectly and be secured with silicone. Otherwise, water ingress and mold. nine0003
Tile and glass homemade shower
Cabinless shower is the only stylish bathroom design option. If you apply for a designer interior of a bathroom - only an independent production of a shower room. Monolithic tile and glass construction. Glass can be either 3 walls or 1 with a door. The rest of the brick tiled. Please note that glass is expensive.
The only way to stylishly design a shower area is completely homemade. nine0003
Such designs are very common in northern countries, where water is saved and ordinary bathrooms are almost not used. Read about Scandinavian style bathrooms.
Difference from the corner, except for self-selection of dimensions and construction by one's own hands, in the manual manufacture of the pallet. There are several options. The standard is a frame of bricks and a base of concrete or tile adhesive, then covered with waterproofing. But you are free to make a podium by any means - the main thing is to provide the height necessary for the drainage of sewers. For a 5 cm pipe, the rise is at least 3 cm per meter of length. nine0003
The floor needs a slope towards the drain. There is enough any bias, the main thing is that it be. It is most convenient to make it a mosaic. Due to the large number of seams, it is also not slippery.
You also choose the mixer yourself. There are ready-made shower sets with a regular watering can and a rain shower. For the mixer itself, I strongly advise you to overpay $ 100 and take a thermostatic one. Once setting the temperature on it, it remains to regulate only the pressure of the water. Be sure to take it with a rain shower, an ordinary watering can is not right. nine0003
Photos of showers without doors have become trendy on the internet. I personally used without a door for a month while waiting for its manufacture. Splashes flood the bathroom floor. If that suits you, go for it. The only option when it works is a rectangular elongated shower area. Then instead of a door, we simply spend more area making a rectangular area out of a square one.
Alternatives:
- Buy a pre-made pallet to save money. Do-it-yourself wall and doors. nine0284
- Again, to save money, use an ordinary soft fabric curtain (curtain) instead of glass. So-so option, but can be considered as a temporary solution.
- Use glass blocks for the shower. Variant from the past. Theoretically, you can beat them in style. Although I haven't seen any good ones yet.
Shower cabin in a small bathroom takes up less space than a bathtub. So you can, for example, find a place in the bathroom for a washing machine, be sure to look there for almost 100 photos of options for placing a machine in a small bathroom. nine0003
For bathrooms combined with a toilet, nothing more practical than a shower to save space has yet been invented. Choose a wall-mounted toilet with an installation and don't be afraid to zone the toilet and shower area with tiles.
Now there will be a lot of photos of interiors of bathrooms combined with a toilet and a shower instead of a bath. But not all of them are successful. Somewhere there are too many dark colors, floor-standing toilets instead of hanging ones, patterns and flowers, etc. Read about the design of bathrooms combined with a toilet, the photo is only about the location of the shower. nine0003

4 9000 9000 9, less occupied by only the place. Literally 1 square meter is enough for him. For most models, the doors are not hinged, but sliding. Shower cabins like to make a non-rectangular shape. As a result, they take up more space than they could.
If the wall is at least 2 meters long, then this wall is sufficient for both the washbasin with cabinet and for the shower. Such a layout is good with the opportunity to conduct a common sewer for them. But the toilet is more convenient to place closer to the riser - it needs a larger outlet diameter. nine00334
in a small bathroom there are always problems with storage systems, it is better to make shelves in the shower itself. If the heated towel rail cannot be placed near the shower room, then hang at least the hooks.
