Given that people spend an average of 800+ days of their lives in the bathroom, you might as well make it a nice place to spend time. If you also find your bathroom to be the place where divine inspiration and superb motivation strikes, you should make your bathroom the perfect little cozy retreat, and answer nature’s call in style!

A colourful tile here, and a fancy towel there are guaranteed to deliver that touch of fabulousness your current, dull bathroom is desperate for! Here are some design ideas for your bathroom and shower that will escalate the aesthetics of your restroom to a whole new level!

To shower or to tub, that is the question… the answer is, SHOWER! Although an occasional warm bubbly bath is more than welcome, nothing will ever beat the convenience of a shower – hop in, and you’re good to go in less than five seconds! But, not every shower is made the same, both in terms of design and functionality. 

You can try to enhance the decor and practicality of your bathroom yourself, or let a team of professionals do all the heavy lifting. Depending on how spacious your bathroom is, you can opt for a tub-sized or double-shower, walk-in model, or a tiny, but practical shower. 

When picking a shower, consider how much room you’ll need for other bathroom fixtures. If nothing else, you’ll at least need a toilet and a sink, so don’t go too big if the space doesn’t allow it.

Now that you understand the basics, let’s get to the juicy part – designing your bathroom and shower!

1. Mirrors

There’s no other detail that serves as many purposes as a mirror does! Aside from letting you know when there’s something stuck between your teeth, mirrors can make the bathroom feel significantly more spacious than it is. If you don’t have windows or have a tiny one in your bathroom, a mirror will do the trick of delivering more light. 

Luckily, mirrors come in different shapes which can fit right into your bathroom style, such as long mirrors to lengthen the look of your bathroom, round for a softer, calming look, rectangle for a modern look, asymmetrical mirror to add a contemporary feel, and many more. 

Pick the right shape, mirror lighting, and mirror frame, and it will work wonders for your bathroom!

2. Glass shower doors

The shower takes up the most space in the bathroom and as such, it’s often considered the centerpiece. A plastic shower curtain can kill the vibe of your bathroom, whereas glass doors look luxurious and more importantly – won’t trigger your claustrophobia. A quick tip: for a splash of colour, you can have the fanciest shower tiles – it would be a shame to cover them with a shower curtain!

3. Monochromatic/colourful design

You might think that simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication. You may think that patterns and colours are what make a room a home. You’re not wrong either way! But, you should be very careful either way! 

When remodeling and going for a polychromatic look, picking the right colours can be tricky. Too many different colours often end up looking like a kid has played with the colour palette – in the end, your bathroom might seem like a scene from Alice in Wonderland. 

Instead, you should stick to two or three colours and play with patterns. You can go for grey textured walls, yellow sink, and mosaic blue and white tiles! 

If you like to play it safe, a monochromatic look is your best bet. However, don’t be afraid to add compelling details such as a rustic mirror frame, bold lights, or artwork. Pick different shades of your preferred colour and pay special attention to the small details – they’ll tie the bathroom together!

When matched right, the tiny decorative details will make a great impact on your bathroom. The best part is, they won’t hurt your wallet nor will a simple bathroom remodeling consume your schedule.
