According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), bathroom remodels make up 65% of home renovation requests. Right now is a great time to start considering shower remodel ideas. Upgrading the shower can transform any bathroom from drab and dated to a luxurious experience.
If you’re looking for some modern shower designs, we have insight into what is trending, budget-friendly remodels, and get the most out of any size bathroom.
Planning Patterns, Tiles, and Grout
The first step to any good remodeling plan is to visualize the theme. Start by thinking about colors, materials, and patterns. Mosaics and subway tiles are always in demand for remodels, allowing for either a classic or modern feel.
Try using darker grout for a way to make plain tiles pop; opt for peel-and-stick tiles if you’re on a budget, or go for granite or quartz to give a luxurious spa look. Swap out metallic fixtures for matte black for minimalist luxury accents.
If you’re looking for something outside the common black, white, blue, green, or yellow bathroom themes: beige color patterns are a trend that keeps growing in luxury interiors. A classic checkerboard theme with alternating shades of beige offers an elegant pairing to wooden cabinets and vanity.
Shower Remodel Ideas for Fixtures and Appliances
The biggest trends from The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) in 2024 for shower and bathroom additions include changing shower heads out for therapeutic upgrades. From detachable heads and rain shower heads to body sprayers and steam shower diffusers, they’re all a great way to introduce the spa resort experience to an older bathroom.
If your shower has the extra space, adding a small seat and handle fixtures can be great long-term investments; for yourself or for future home-buyers. The same can be said for eco-friendly design choices. Installing smart appliances that save money on bills, conserve water, and help the environment is great for home value.
Redesign the Shower Door
Glass doors on their own may not seem exciting, but you can change things up by going with a frameless glass door. This will create a greater sense of space in your bathroom, while also allowing you to show a more seamless tile pattern. You could also go for a hinged pivoting glass door instead of the standard sliding door.
Pivot glass door showers allow for more flexibility in the layout of your bathroom. This can open up even more options for small bathroom ideas, like adding new fixtures or space-saving storage.
