Shower Designs To Make You Forget About Tubs

Bathroom

It seems like just about every new home is built with a large soaking tub these days and they can be a stunning fixture to any bathroom setting. But, what if you are not a sit and soak kind of person? Instead of having a large tub take up space in your master bath, what if you replaced it with a beautiful and functional shower design? Or, perhaps you do not need to replace a tub, but instead, have a small space to work with and are looking for small shower ideas that still have a beautiful design. No matter what you are looking for, there is a bathroom shower design idea to fit your vision and space.

Bathroom Shower Design Ideas

CQC Home helps clients every day that are looking to transform their space with a bathroom renovation. Whether you are looking to create a master bedroom retreat or need to improve the function of a small or outdated bathroom, we can help you choose a shower design that you will love for years to come. 

Just like homes themselves, there is no one size fits all approach to shower design. Choose a design idea that will both fit your space and fit the aesthetic of your home. You would be amazed at what a bathroom renovation will do for even the oldest house and the right shower design pulls everything together. Upgrading an existing bathroom or adding a new one can also be good for resale

Small Shower Ideas

If you have a smaller space but are ready for a shower upgrade, don’t worry! There are many small shower designs that will work in even the tightest spaces. When CQC Home visits with a new client to discuss a bathroom renovation, we always measure the space and offer design recommendations based on what will work best for that area. 

There are small shower ideas that work well in tight corners, in spaces that have low ceilings, or even for half bath conversions. If you are hoping to have an updated walk-in shower, but are not sure that you have the space, it is worth meeting with a design consultant who can help you plan a layout that will work.

Walk-In Shower Designs

Large, walk-in showers are very on-trend right now and with good reason. There is nothing like waking up in the morning and stepping into a hot shower with plenty of room to move around. No more knocking shampoo bottles off the shelf or trying to figure out the best way to shave your legs. We have designed some beautiful walk-in showers for homes that are both new and old. We have even renovated bathrooms to create walk-in shower designs without doors. 

Whether or not you choose to encase your shower in glass or leave it open, large showers offer plenty of room and design options to play with. Many people choose to remove their soaking tub to make space for a larger shower. In some cases, you can double or even triple the size of your shower depending on the space. Some clients even choose to install dual shower heads at each end of the shower, or a rain shower overhead. The possibilities are endless.

Shower Tile Patterns

No matter how large or small, the options when it comes to choosing shower tile patterns are near limitless. While contemporary subway tile or marble have been increasingly popular options for shower and bathroom renovations, there are so many different materials and tile patterns to choose from. You can truly design a shower around what suits your personality and home design the most.
