Making My Home Gorgeous

Posted on: 6 December 2021

Remodeling your bathroom is a wise choice when you are dissatisfied with multiple features, such as the vanity, toilet, and bathtub. However, you may find that you are happy with most of the family bathroom's features except the walk-in shower. Investing in major and minor changes to the shower can improve overall satisfaction with the feature and the bathroom.

Everyone in your family may use the bathroom often, including the shower. So, you want to consider their wants and needs to help with your shower remodeling project.

Lighting

An overhead light in the bathroom's center may not provide enough light to illuminate the shower. Fortunately, you can give the shower more light in numerous ways, such as adding windows, skylights, or ceiling lights inside the shower area. The best way to get lighting from windows is by installing them where the sun shines throughout most of the day.

Another strategy is to install skylights because this feature will excel at giving your bathroom light during the day. All you must think about is any outside obstacles, such as tall trees or buildings that could block the sun from getting light through the skylight.

Recessed lights can also work well to give you light when natural light is not feasible or optimal. You can install several cans throughout the shower for well-balanced lighting. Picking smart recessed lights is a great move because your family can customize the lighting to their tastes.

Some family members may like to take showers in bright light, while others may prefer dim lighting. Also, you can use your voice to turn on, turn off, and adjust settings for the lighting.

Storage

You may notice each family member trying to store their own shower products inside the limited storage space in your family bathroom. Even a large shower caddy will have its limitations. A better option is to add built-in storage is by cutting out shelves in the shower wall. You can even make a separate shelf for every person in your family to provide personal storage.

Seating

Sitting down in the shower is something that your family may not do. When someone is sore or injured, they may just take a bath because it allows them to sit down and bathe. However, you can make a permanent change by adding a built-in seat along the backend of the shower. A pull-down seat is an excellent choice because it will only take up space when being used.

Remodeling with these tips will help you create the perfect shower for your family.
