Did you know the average person spends around 60 hours a year in the shower? That’s a significant amount of time, emphasizing the importance of creating a shower space that’s functional and a sanctuary of comfort and luxury. We take pride in our custom-designed bathroom and shower remodels.
Think beyond a standard shower head and valve when envisioning your ideal shower. With custom-built options, the possibilities are endless for incorporating features that enhance your shower’s aesthetics and functionality, ensuring you maximize every moment spent within its confines.
Walk-In or Roll-In Shower: Choosing Accessibility and Elegance
One of the fundamental decisions in shower design is whether to opt for a walk-in or roll-in shower. Walk-in showers feature a curb to step over, while roll-in showers boast a seamless, level entrance—perfect for aging-in-place or anyone with mobility concerns. While walk-in showers are more budget-friendly, the elegance and accessibility of roll-in showers make them a worthwhile investment for those seeking both luxury and practicality.
Niches vs. Shelves: Balancing Style and Functionality
Storage solutions are essential for keeping your shower organized and clutter-free. Shower niches offer a stylish and customizable option but may only sometimes be practical due to space constraints. In the shower niche above, we incorporated the same shower floor tile into the niche, creating a flow between the two. Check out our post all about this bathroom remodel! Alternatively, shower shelves provide versatility and can be strategically placed to optimize space without compromising style. When deciding between niches and shelves, prioritize functionality while considering the layout and dimensions of your shower.
Benches and Footrests: Adding Comfort and Convenience
Incorporating a bench into your shower design provides a convenient seating option, ideal for those who require assistance or prefer a more leisurely bathing experience. However, benches can occupy valuable space, so carefully considering your shower’s layout is necessary. For those seeking a space-saving solution, a small niche designed as a footrest offers functionality without sacrificing precious shower space.
Hand Shower: Enhancing Accessibility and Versatility
While traditional shower heads are aesthetically pleasing, hand showers offer increased accessibility and flexibility. Their handheld design allows for targeted water flow, making them an excellent choice for individuals with mobility limitations. Additionally, hand showers can be utilized as both a traditional shower head and a handheld wand, providing versatility without compromising space.
Massage Jets: Indulging in Luxury and Relaxation
For the ultimate spa-like experience, consider incorporating massage jets into your shower design. These jets deliver targeted water pressure to soothe tired muscles and joints, elevating your shower routine to a luxurious retreat. Careful planning and installation are crucial to ensure optimal performance and comfort.
Rainfall Shower Head: Embracing Serenity and Elegance
Transform your shower into a tranquil oasis with a rainfall shower head. Mounted on the ceiling, this fixture simulates the gentle sensation of rainfall, creating a serene and luxurious ambiance. While this feature requires additional plumbing and investment, its unparalleled comfort and relaxation make it a worthwhile addition to any shower space.
In conclusion, your shower is more than just a functional space—it’s a sanctuary where you can unwind and rejuvenate. Incorporating these thoughtful features into your shower design and remodel can elevate your bathing experience and transform your daily routine into a luxurious escape. Whether you prioritize accessibility, style, or indulgence, a shower feature suits every preference and enhances your overall well-being.
