Nine Innovative Shower Remodel Ideas for 2021

Showers are the hottest element in bathroom remodels today. As bathrooms become escapes, an oasis of self-care and relaxation away from a busy life, the design of ensuite showers has expanded.

Between handicap-friendly design and a luxurious preference for spacious floorplans, shower stalls have grown into the definition of adult washroom luxury. Of course, the best shower remodel ideas aren't always your obvious choices.

2021 has some truly impressive shower design trends that you can get inspired from for your shower remodel project. Let's dive into our favorite hotel shower remodel ideas.

Build a No-Curb Walk In Shower

A no-curb shower is a transition less experience for walk-in showering. The trick to a no-curb shower is a shower area deep enough that the splashes don't reach outside the floor area.

Not only is no-curb the most accessible for wheelchairs and mobility conditions, it's also the most enjoyable for those who love a luxury shower design. No-curb showers flow comfortably from the greater bathroom into the smooth stone or glass shower experience.

Expand  Your Shower Into a Wet Room

Speaking of an expansive shower experience, wet rooms are becoming acutely popular in shower remodel design. A wet room is a bathroom designed so the entire room can get wet.

From bath time splashes to spraying down the walls, a wet room is water-safe and makes it easy to both get yourself clean and keep the room clean. Wet rooms favor beautiful stone panels and tiles to make the room both luxurious and versatile.

Add a Comfortable Bamboo Bench for Shower Relaxation

Give yourself somewhere to sit when redesigning your shower. Bamboo and teak are both beautiful woods that withstand constant moisture very well.

Both make smooth, comfortable shower seats so you can relax in the hot water and meditate or tend to your personal care routine. You can have a permanent seat for a beautiful shower design or a fold-up seat for a more compact bathroom and smaller shower.

Install a Rainfall Hose Shower Head

A flexible shower head with a hose attachment can help you do everything from wash your hair to wash the dog. It's no surprise that many shower upgrades feature a flexible shower head fixture.

Combined with the gentle power of a rainfall showerhead, this combination is hot in the luxury shower experience. Give yourself options for height, angle, water pressure, and water concentration with a single fixture upgrade.

Natural Stone and Innovative Tile

Natural stone is leading the race in today's bathroom tiling trends. The smooth appeal of stone blends well with the back-to-nature swing. Bring plants into the bathroom and create a beautiful mixed-metal design to combine with your natural stone tiles.

For homeowners who want to make a splash, the opposite trend is impressive unnatural tile. Glass tile, heat-changing tile, and modified ceramic tiles are all engineered masterpieces designed for a more comfortable and stylish modern bathroom construction.

Add Innovative Shower Nook Storage

A shower nook is built into the wall of your shower. It can offer shelves, draining racks, and hooks or bars for washrags.

The best thing about a shower nook is that you don't have to suction-cup or tension-rod secure it in your shower, You can build that handy shower storage elegantly right into the wall. Shower nooks are often sold to blend with certain tiles, ceramics, and natural stone.

Stylishly Subtle Grab-Bars

If your shower remodel ideas include safety improvements, look for stylish ways to build grab-bars into your design. Grab bars don't have to look and feel clunky.

Securely installed in the right places, they can blend into the lines of your bathroom design while providing just the stability you need around the shower.

Have Soft and Clear Shower Lights Installed

So often showers are gloomy and under-lit because the central light fixtures don't reach into the curtained space. Lighting can make a real difference when you're relaxing or bathing in the shower.

You may want clear lights for hygiene and bathroom cleaning, but soft lights when it's time to wind down in the warm water. Give yourself the gift of layered lights, and a light designed just to provide soft illumination to the shower itself. 

Integrate Waterproof Shower Sound

Last but not least, you might even wire shower sound. If you're the kind of person who likes to rock out in the shower or relax to soothing classical, why prop your tablet on the sink counter every time?

Even smart speakers can't offer the fidelity that built-in waterproof shower speakers can. And with a little construction, you can enjoy a shower base thump and clear instrumentals with every ablution.
