While there can be no doubt that showers are a functional feature for most modern households – and are considered by many more to be essential – they can also be aesthetically pleasing and a real asset to any modern home.
If your shower is doing what it needs to do but not a lot more, you’ll be pleased to know that with a little imagination and the help of a remodeling firm in your locality, you can turn a boring shower, into a true wower! Or maybe you’re lucky enough to already have a stylish, aesthetically pleasing shower, but you want to add some additional functionality to it?
Whatever needs your shower isn’t meeting, here are some great ideas for transforming it:
How to add functionality to an already stylish shower
Making your shower more functional starts with it being accessible to everyone in the household, and if you share your home with anyone elderly or physically challenged, adding a shower seat can be a fantastic option to help them enjoy a long, steamy shower. Whether they are unable to stand for longer periods of time, or can’t stand at all, a shower seat solves both problems.
The showerhead you choose for your shower can also have a significant impact on its functionality, and you can choose from the following upgrades according to your needs and desires:
- A detachable showerhead – this can be extremely useful if you want to wash a particular part of your body without having to get fully wet, or if you want to control the flow of water to certain areas of your body.
- A showerhead with different water pressure settings – this upgrade can be especially helpful if there are small children in the household, as a showerhead with a lower flow rate will help prevent your little ones from being scalded by hot water.
- A rain showerhead – if your shower functions perfectly well, but you want to elevate your showering experience, you could upgrade to a luxury rain showerhead, which can help recreate a spa-like feel in your bathroom.
How to add luxury to a standard shower
Lastly, if you’re bored of standard showers that leave you clean but not revitalised or relaxed, you could consider a bigger upgrade and have a walk-in shower installed. This will depend on the size of your existing bathroom, but if extending it is a possibility, you could talk to a remodeling contractor about enlarging your bathroom and turning it into an ultra-modern wet room.
Your shower should never be an afterthought, and for more ways to transform your shower from a standard cubicle that you get wet in, to a luxury space for washing and unwinding in (in other words, a real wower!), talk to a local remodeling contractor about your options.
