1. Make the most of the bathroom walls

Limited space in small bathrooms makes storage a challenge. But not anymore. With bathroom shelves, you can take advantage of the vertical space to provide more storage space for your toiletries. Consider mounting shelves on your bathroom walls. Each shelf design exudes elegance, elevating any small shower storage idea. Style them however you want, and arrange your bathroom accessories accordingly—an innovative storage solution for tiny spaces.

2. Keep towels within reach

Towel rails and holders are a great way to keep your bathroom neat and tidy. They also serve double duty as helpful bathroom accessories and decorative touches. Mount the holders near your shower so they're more accessible. You can also install one near the sink to make morning washes a breeze—a practical idea for your compact bathroom.

3. Stick to the basics

There’s nothing wrong with keeping your shower rooms simple. Sometimes, it’s all about function. A piece of basic bathroom furniture like this rainfall shower head can make a big difference. The showerhead's multiple spray settings create a soothing rainfall effect by spraying water evenly and widely over the body. What’s more, the hand shower's parking bracket is adjustable so you can set it at the perfect height for your shower. And if you are worried about the water getting too hot and accidentally burning you, the showerhead has a safety stop button that activates at 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.78 °C).

4. More storage, more function

Here’s another shower stall idea for small bathrooms: corner storage! Sticking a corner basket with a suction cup makes small showers functional and more spacious. The TISKEN collection makes everything close at hand without drilling holes into your bathroom walls. Smooth surfaces, like glass or tile, are no match for the strong suction cups. Its firm hold guarantees a stable foundation that can only be removed when necessary.

5. A place to sit

A seat is a necessity anywhere, including the bathroom. Consider placing a bathroom bench near your shower area. Made of sturdy bamboo, this bench exudes neutral colors suitable for any small shower design. The furniture isn’t only water- and splash-proof but also adds coziness to your bathroom. The sustainable bamboo construction is long-lasting and well-suited to moist environments like lavatories. As a bonus, the bench doubles as storage for bath towels and other accessories. Truly, a good purchase for your home.

6. Private yet classy

Incorporate privacy into your compact bathroom by using shower curtains. This shower stall idea features a sophisticated layout that smartly separates the area. One of its most remarkable features is a shower curtain's dual purpose as a water barrier and a canvas for decorative motifs. Thanks to various materials and designs, you will find a shower curtain that suits your taste. You can cut or wash some of them to your liking. The greatest part? Their prices will not flood your bank account.

7. Spacious feel

A small bathroom can seem more spacious when transparent glass doors separate the shower area. The clear glass in this door keeps water from splashing out and gives the impression of more room than there is. Depending on your available space, you can construct a shower enclosure with one or two doors that open inward or outward. Made from tempered safety glass, this small shower idea is guaranteed to be long-lasting and impact-resistant.

8. A minimalist twist

Accessories in sleek designs are another option for bringing the minimalist aesthetic into a small bathroom. Take these soap dispensers as an example. Available in different styles and designs, each dispenser offers simplicity that significantly impacts the overall layout of your tiny shower concept. Place the dispensers near the sink or the shower to keep the soap handy. With these additions, you’ll also have a more streamlined bathroom experience.

9. Expand the space with mirrors

Mirrors are known to make any compact space feel spacious. A mirror's reflective surface reflects light and creates the optical illusion of a larger area, making your bathroom seem bigger. Consider placing one big mirror in your bathroom to achieve this effect. In addition to their practicality, our bathroom mirrors with shelves are well-known for their resistance to the impact of high humidity. You can also put up a close-up vanity mirror to ensure your hair falls in the right direction.

10. Safe and stylish

Give your small shower idea the comfort and safety it deserves. Adding one of our bath mats is a simple way to give your small bathroom shower stall designs a new look. Bath mats provide a softer, warmer surface for your feet and improve your bathroom’s aesthetic. You can use them in front of the bathtub, the toilet, or the sink. We have them in different sizes and colors so that you can find the perfect match for your shower area.
