When renovating a bathroom, maximizing the use of this typically small space is first up on the list. Whether it is the main bathroom or the guest bathroom, finding the perfect shower enclosure for the space is very important. Here’s a short list of a few things to consider.

Type of shower enclosure

There are actually several options when it comes to shower enclosures. The convenience of a walk in shower is usually what most people go for. But depending on the size and shape of your bathroom area, you may need to choose something compact and modular over a more stylish and modern option. Whether you choose a sliding door or a shower door on a hinge can also affect the bathroom space. How the door opens and where the shower enclosure is placed makes all the difference.

Placement

To maximize space in the bathroom, you could opt for placing the shower enclosure in a corner. You still get to choose whether you want the door to swing open, or move aside like a bi-fold. Either way you can still have that large roomy shower feeling with very little space taken up in the bathroom itself.

If you have ample room to play with in your bathroom renovation, then by all means go for the best you can afford. With so many fabulous shower accessories available, you can install some really decadent options such as a shower seat, multiple shower jets, built-in shelving, soap dispensers and even surround sound.
