Searching for shower designs for small bathrooms?
Just because you don’t have much space to work with doesn’t mean your bathroom design can’t be functional and make a big impact.

6 Shower Designs for Small Bathrooms
1. Frameless Fixed Divider Panel
You can use a frameless fixed glass panel to separate your shower and vanity, or shower and toilet.
With the use of the glass divider, there’s no need for a full-length wall. Thus, the divider option creates a lighter and more open feel within the space.

2. Frameless Fixed/Hinge Over Bath
Do you need both a shower and bath in your small bathroom?
A frameless fixed or hinged glass panel along the top edge of the bathtub allows for easy accessibility and helps to prevent water spraying onto floor (this water spray creates a slip risk).
A shower curtain isn’t as effective at keeping the water in, plus glass is less obtrusive and creates an open feel.

3. Fully Framed 3 Panel Slider – Front Only
Sliding doors are a fantastic alternative for those bathrooms where space is at a premium. That’s because you don’t need to allow room for the door to pivot.
- New slider systems function more effectively/easily than previous old style sliding screens
- Fully-framed is a budget friendly option
- No pivot door means that water does not drip off door onto bathroom floor

4. Semi Frameless Front Only Contour Fixed/Pivot Door
This semi-frameless option is simple, stylish and functional.
EXPERT TIP: Adding a black frame to your screen adds a touch of sophistication and modern flair. Plus, it helps to turn your shower enclosure into a feature of the bathroom.

5. Semi Frameless Front Only Dual Pivot Doors
If you need better access or want to maximise a small opening, a dual pivot door could be the most suitable option.

6. Frameless 3 Panel Over Bath
This option is great for small bathrooms that require a shower over bath configuration.
Opting for frameless panels means the space isn’t closed in by bulky frames and the three panels can be fitted along the entire length of the bath, to ensure the water is kept inside the shower area.
At Shower Enclosure Service, we can adapt the configuration to suit access requirements.
