The idea of a newly upgraded bathroom is an exciting one. One of the things you would like to achieve with a remodel could be more space and an updated style. You can consider other bathroom and shower door designs that will help you maximize the space available.

You must determine if changing only the shower door will make your bathroom feel significantly more spacious because it will save you from remodeling the entire bathroom.

Let us look at some excellent shower door ideas that are perfect for a small bathroom space.

• Bi-fold glass shower doors

Bi-fold doors have two glass panels that fold in on each other. Bi-fold doors are ideal for small spaces because they do not encroach on bathroom floor space but fold into the shower enclosure. If you do not have enough room for swinging doors, these doors are a good option.

They are easy to use and can be used to enclose both showers and tubs. They are available in frameless designs.

• Sliding glass shower doors

Sliding glass shower doors move side to side on tracks to open, perfect in small spaces.

Sliding doors also have handles that can function as a towel bar that you can use to hang washcloths and towels for easy accessibility.

They give a modern and seamless appearance to your bathroom, and you can use them for bathtubs or showers.

• Round glass shower enclosures

Round shower doors open into the shower rather than outwards. The inward movement does not take up any bathroom floor space. If your bathroom has a corner shower space, this door is the right choice.

The round shape of this door makes it easy to clean and increases space. Round glass shower doors also add to the aesthetic of the bathroom.

• Frameless glass shower doors

A frameless glass panel will make your bathroom feel more open and spacious. The doors do not get supported by frames giving a seamless and modern look.

Frameless glass shower doors allow in a lot of light, making the bathroom brighter and highlighting the tiles’ design and other features.

• Semi-frameless glass shower doors

Semi-frameless shower doors have frames only along the top and sides without totally enclosing the door. It achieves the effect of a frameless glass shower door without the high cost associated with it.

• Partial glass shower door or splash guards

A partial glass door or splash guard prevents water from splashing out of the bathtub or shower and pooling on the floor. A splash guard takes up a small space and will make a small bathroom feel more spacious.

Partial glass doors are also cheaper, easy to install and maintain.

In addition to changing your shower door, you can remodel it in simple ways to make it feel larger.

DESIGN IDEAS TO MAKE A SMALL BATHROOM FEEL LARGER

1. Make the room brighter

Rooms with a lot of light feel more spacious than dark rooms. You can make the room brighter by painting the walls and ceiling in the same color. Choose light color tones for your paint. You can also increase natural light by using sheer window coverings or installing a skylight if possible. Additional light fixtures will also increase the light in the room.

2. Install mirrors in strategic places

Mirrors reflect light, which will make the small space brighter and feel larger. Install multiple mirrors placed in areas such as above the sink or across a window. You can also cover a whole wall with a mirror to open up space.

3. Get creative with storage.

Decluttering your bathroom will instantly make it feel spacious. Find creative ways to store things such as ladders for towels. If possible, recess cabinets into the walls or keep them as close to the wall as possible.

4. Install a pedestal sink

If the bathroom space is small, a full vanity will take up a lot of space and make it even smaller. A pedestal sink takes up less space. There are wall mounted bathroom accessories that will give you enough space to store soaps and other utilities.

5. Pick light-colored floors

Dark-colored floors will make a room feel small. Choose light colors for the floor and keep it in the same color tone as the wall and the ceiling. Ensure that the floor is free of too many bathroom mats or rugs.

 CONCLUSION

Small bathroom spaces can feel bigger if you choose the right shower door and design ideas.

Glass doors open up small spaces, making them feel larger by reflecting light. There are a variety of glass shower door options for small bathrooms. You can install bi-fold shower doors, sliding doors, round shower enclosures, or splash guards that do not take up bathroom floor space. Frameless and semi-frameless glass doors are great options as well.

You can also employ a few design tricks that will make space feel bigger. Choose light-colored tones for the floor, walls, and ceiling.
