You don't need to start tearing down walls and moving plumbing lines to maximize shower space. It's possible to give your guests more room without all the demo! Design your showers to boost the guest experience by offering more elbow room, a cleaner look, and additional storage. In this blog post, we'll share some innovative design tips to help you save costs while upgrading your property's showers.
1. Curved Shower Pans and Doors
Maximize elbow room without expanding the footprint.
During renovations, expanding the bathroom isn't always possible. Often, obstacles like the toilet make it hard to enlarge the shower area without major structural changes—and costs. One solution is curved shower pans. These pans provide additional elbow room and create a more spacious feel without the need for big structural changes or additional floor space.
Mincey offers curved shower pans and shower doors that are perfect for hotel renovations. Our curved pans can add up to an extra six inches at the pan's widest point. That's nothing to scoff at! You give your guests ample elbow room along with a more modern, sleek-looking shower. Mincey's curved pans are available with a circular drain or linear drain. And both pans and doors can be made to fit your project's specifications.
2. Glass Shower Enclosures
Increase visual space without increasing the physical space.
Glass shower enclosures are another great way to "maximize" shower space in hotel renovations. Shower curtains and frosted glass doors can darken a space and make the user feel "closed in". Clear glass allows light to pass through for a brighter space, creating an illusion of a larger area. Additionally, frameless glass enclosures give a clean and modern look that can elevate the overall aesthetic of the bathroom. At Mincey, we offer a wide range of shower doors to fit your design and budget needs.
3. Storage Options - Niches and Shelves
Utilize vertical space.
Without proper storage, shampoo bottles and razors end up on the ground. This is not only dangerous but decreases the amount of usable shower floor. Proper storage is essential for an organized and spacious shower. Shelves and built-in niches are excellent solutions, as they don't take up any floor space. They keep toiletries off the ground and within easy reach. Mincey even offers extra long shelves - like this 30"- to hold as many items as possible. By integrating these storage solutions, you can keep the shower area safe and tidy while making it feel more spacious.
4. Cosmetic Changes
Make the most of natural light and visual tricks.
Incorporate design elements that create the illusion of space. Our favorite trick is to extend the shower panels all the way up to the ceiling, creating a seamless look that draws the eye upward and creates an illusion of height. Mincey offers panels in various sizes to accommodate most ceiling heights. Bonus - this eliminates the need for painting any drywall in the shower! Additionally, incorporating light-colored walls can reflect light and make the shower appear larger than it is.
