Now there are square showers, oblong showers for two, corner showers, showers beside tubs, and showers in tubs. Replacing your shower or changing from a tub to a shower is a major project. It involves removing a lot of heavy material, especially if a tub is being replaced with a shower.

Be prepared to consider several bathroom showers before making your final decision. Even if you determine the size and shape of the base, you still have to decide on which kind of door is going to work best for you. If you install a tub and shower combination, you first must pick a color. This might simply be a choice between off-white and ecru. After choosing the color, then you need doors to complement the design. You can choose a sliding clear glass door with chrome trim or from many glass finishes and frame options.

Bathroom Storage Ideas: Under the Sink

Apartment bathrooms tend to be smaller with bathroom storage being even smaller. This can make it difficult to keep a well-organized bathroom with all of the things you need to complete routine tasks in the bathroom. Some apartment renters end up storing items in their bedrooms and using a caddy back and forth, the same way they did in college. You don’t have to do that if you use these bathroom storage ideas to maximize the space under the sink.
Bathroom Sink Drawer

In addition to the drawers that were installed with your cabinet (if you have any) you can purchase and install a “portable” bathroom sink drawer. A standard size measures 9-1/4 x 12 inches. You can use it to store many things, including a small trash can under the bathroom sink. This is a better way to store the trash can under the bathroom sink, instead of squeezing it between the piping.

Space-saving shelves - Install a wall shelf/towel bar combo. This is a good way to utilize space in a small bathroom. Select a shelf/towel bar in wood, metal and glass, or brushed textures to spice up your decor.

Ideas for Bathroom Vanities

Choose a theme for a vanity area such as an Asian-inspired one. Choose a vanity in an earth tone. Then accent the walls with bamboo mirrors, frames and ceramic-tiled tables or a wall border. Along with that, place a few small potted plants to bring out the natural Asian vibe. Lastly, a teak shower caddy or shelf is a nice touch for an Asian bathroom.

Cabinets and Storage
Add storage and style to a bathroom without taking up too much space. Go with a tall cabinet to maximize dead space. A contemporary shelf is one with glass windows and clear or metal knobs on its doors. The shelves offer storage solutions for towels or other items. Other types of cabinets you may consider include metal, wood, sturdy plastic or teak designs.
