If you have a small bathroom, that doesn't mean you have to choose between a shower or a bathtub. In fact, you can take the best of both worlds. The combination saves space and money. Different variants are available depending on your needs and space. Today we will give you some examples of small bathrooms with bathtubs and showers that make bathing and showering possible in a small space.
One of the oldest combinations is thisCorner or niche variant. The existing walls must be laid with tiles and thus protected from water. The bathtub sits in the niche, while the shower is below levelWall tiles in the bathroomis mounted.
Set up small bathroomswith shower enclosure
Bathtubs with shower enclosures are a nice idea for small bathrooms.This variant requires less background work than the tiled niche. This attachment makes installation easier, especially if a new unit is to be installed in a small bathroom or moved through a small door. These shower enclosures are available in glass or acrylic and fiberglass. This glass partition will protect the bathroom furniture from water damage, for example if the tub is in close proximity to the washbasin.
Helles Bad
With the right, space-saving furnishings, you can make even a small bathroom appear more spacious. To do this, you need to choose the right sanitary elements and arrange them conveniently. If you want to have the bathtub and the shower separate, you can choose space-saving models, namely the space-saving bathtubs. For example, if you want to make good use of a corner in the bathroom, a corner bathtub can serve you well. However, if you can make optimal use of the space next to the door, you should choose asymmetrical models. These are bathtubs that are narrow towards the foot, but offer enough space for the body. Suitable shower trays are, for example, square or rectangular ones.

The square shower trays can be installed in the corner or on the side of the wall. Of course, you can do without a shower tray completely. In this case, you can tile the shower floor like the rest of the bathroom. To ensure that this area is available to you when you are not showering, you can use a shower enclosure that you can swing away. Regardless of whether you set up the small bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower or not, whether you design the shower area with a shower tray or without, the bathroom will appear larger if you avoid opaque curtains. A glass shower cubicle automatically makes the bathroom appear larger because the eye perceives the entire area as a whole.
With spacious shower area
Avoid pieces of furniture that are positioned sideways because they act like barriers in small rooms and make the bathroom appear narrower and smaller. Small bathrooms can't just be made to look more spacious with suitable bathroom furniture. Here the motto is always to save space and create more order. Use the free space on the wall and add small cupboards or shelves. You can store items that you use regularly there. You can also install suitable containers for the soap dispenser and the hair dryer holder. The wall space behind the door is also suitable for vertical storage.
Set up a small bathroom
If you set up a small bathroom with a shower, the color scheme, like in any other room, determines the effect of the room. For a larger looking bathroom, it's best to choose light colors, pastels and cream. Try to match the colors of the tiles with the rest of the bathroom furnishings and emphasize the entire bathroom as one unit. For example, choose colors from the same color family and make the bathroom appear more spacious. Avoid harsh color transitions. But you are welcome to create great contrasts. Color accents are always a real eye-catcher and enlarge the small bathroom. You can create an optical illusion using large tiles. The larger the tiles are, the fewer joints are visible. This creates a calm and uniform wall design, which is beneficial for a small bathroom. Tiles can bring a touch of luxury and elegance to a small bathroom. For example, you can design the area around the washbasin with mosaic tiles and visually enhance the bathroom.
Tile the wall in the niche
If you want to create a cozy atmosphere in your bathroom, you can use natural materials such as wood and stone. Some types of wood, such as larch, are water-repellent and can also be treated with special wood oil. Anyone who uses wood as a raw material in the bathroom creates a healthy indoor climate. Wood species such as oak, pine and larch are even antibacterial. The combination of wood and natural stone looks very chic and elegant and at the same time serves as a natural decoration for the small bathroom with bathtub and shower. With the right lighting you can make the bathroom appear more spacious. Instead of using a single light, use several spots as ceiling lighting. They draw the eye and make the bathroom appear larger.
With glass partition
Even in the smallest of spaces, with the right combination you no longer have to think about whether showering pleasure or bathing fun is more important to you. The model selection is now very large and leaves nothing to be desired. The shower bathtubs are a successful combination of comfort, quality and design, which can replace conventional bathroom furnishings in small rooms and can work real wonders.
