Some things to think about when adding a walk in shower are:

placeMent of the shower in proportion to the bathroom -This is important for maximizing function and utilizing your space in a workable fashion.

Size-This is important for comfort as well as accessibility. You want your walk in shower to be bigenough to function properly, but not so big that you have too much work ahead of you while cleaning.

Angle-You want to make sure the floor has a small slope so that the water doesn't make a big mess on the floor. If you angle the flooring improperly the water will flow in places you don't want it to flow.

Style and features-Do you want to shower with many heads, so that you get the water from different angles? Do you want to install a steam feature that allows you to feel like you are in a steam room at the spa? Do you want an enTire room dedicated to your shower that is completely separate from the rest of the bathroom? These are all things you can think about when designing and planning for your walk in shower.

What do you do if you want to install a shower but you only have a very small bathroom?

While I love my bathtub for the rare occasions that I get to use it for a long relaxing soak, I don't know what I would do without my shower. Showers are quick, refreshing and a lot more economical than taking baths. When I had the chance to redesign my small bathroom I jumped at the opportunity to improve the shower that was installed above the bathtub at the time.

The first thing to remember is that there usually is a way to do these things and you mustn't give up before you've really thought about the problem. Don't be put off by the fact that you don't seem to have muchroom to play with in your bathroom design.

So what are the options?

Throw the bathtub away

Taking out the bathtub will give you more than enough room to fit a sizeable shower enclosure. Unfortunately you won't have a bath anymore. While this might fit in well with your current lifestyle you might want to think about what you might have need of a few years down the line and when you come to sell your property.

When you sell a property you must have a bathroom with a bathtub even if it has a great shower instead. People expect to find a bath in the bathroom and the lack of one can seriously depress the value of your property.

Put your shower in your bathtub

If you have no other optionyou can install a showerhead above your bathtub together with a shower curtain or splashguard. This should be the easiest solution, as it will take up no additional floor space. Personally I'm not keen on this option.

Turn your bathroom into a wet room

This is an ambitious design that will involve turning the floor of your enTire bathroom into a giant shower base and drain. It can be a very expensive option to convert a conventional bathroom into wet room but it has the advanTAGe of allowing you to put your small bathroom shower anywhere you like. Even over the toilet if you want to although I wouldn't advise it.

Install a curved quadrant shower cubicle

The option that Ilike best for any bathroom is to install a separate shower enclosure either free standing in the room or in a corner of the bathroom. This is a great solution if you can find the space to accommodate the shower enclosure.

The problem with this idea is finding the space in a small bathroom to fit the shower enclosure. Enclosures come in various sizes so you will need first of all to decide on the smallest size that you think you can live with. Even a very small shower enclosure is better than none at all.

To make the space available you should consider the whole small bathroom design. Find a smaller toilet and washbasin and even a smaller bathtub if you have to. Use squared paper and cut out shapes to try manydifferent ways of arranging everything.

Finally look at curved quadrant shower enclosures as a space saving alternative to square or rectangular ones. Finding one of these was the turning point in my small bathroom shower design. Everything fell into place nicely after that.

The options for your window curtains are almost endless. You can add a picture with valence or coordinating fabric swags, draperies, blinds or use shades to add interest.

Window Curtains

Set the Mood Use sheer curtains and laces to set a peaceful, light mood. Use bright colorful fabric for a playful mood. Usecontrasting colors for a dramatic mood Use intricate patterns with brushed antique brass curtain rods for an elegant mood. Soft window curtains set a mood of comfort and luxury.

Whatever your theme and mood for the room, reflect it with your window curtains.

Window Curtains: How to Match Colors

If you struggle with matching colors in your decorating endeavors, here is a tried and true secret which will have you decorating like the pros. Take a quick trip to the paint section of your local hardware store. You will find paint chips in different hues of one color, and paint chipswith several compliMentary colors. These colors where chosen by interior designers as tried and true color combinations. You can trust that these colors will go beautifully together! Use the paint chips to choose your wall paint color, coordinating pillows, furniture, and window curtains. You can't go wrong.

Another color coordinating tip is to create balance with contrast. Match floral fabric patterns with stripes. Contrast dark colors with light colors, large patterns with small patterns, and lines with circles. You can also contrast hot colors (like red, orange and yellow) with cool colors (like green and blue). For instance in a room with all cool blue walls and fabrics, bright red throw pillow just may be added to accent the touch for a perfect balance.Contrasting colors include Purple/Green/Orange, Red, and Blue/Yellow.

Using these matching color guidelines to choose your window curtains will ensure a well decorated room that will please you for a long time.

Stripes
Bold, chunky stripes painted on the walls will create a masculine feel to a bathroom if they are done in masculine colors. Try pAiring a lighter stripe with a darker color, such as black and off white for a classic look, or take a modern tack with a subtle color contrast, such as shades or shades of brown or gray. Alternate the stripesizes between dark stripes wider and thinner light stripes to create a different feel, as well.

Coordinates the masculine stripes with other bathroom accessories. A striped shower curtain of the same colors may be difficult to find, so choose a solid one that matches one of the stripe colors instead. Window curtains can be quickly made to match the striped walls with some fabric glue or no-sew fabric tape. Choose black and white or sepia photos in frames that match the stripes to add a focal point to the walls. Even towels in similar colors to the stripes will help create a unified, masculine bathroom space.

Grays & Blacks
The grays and blacks of today's paints are different from years before. No longer destined to remain dull darkcolors, paint manufacturers have infused grays and blacks with sheen, shine, warmth and depth. For an extraordinarily masculine bathroom, choose sleek blacks and grays for the decorating palette.

Warm, gray walls automatically create a masculine feel to a room. Walls painted in that shade have an aura of wealth and power that can be expertly pAired with sleek black accessories. Shower curtains, floor mats and towels should all be a rich black color to accent the gray. Faucets, towel bars and switch plates would lend themselves nicely to silver and enhance the masculine feel to the bathroom. Look for items that coordinate with the room's colors, but also have a distinctly masculine feel to their lines and patterns.

The Great Outdoors
For theOutdoors Man, a woodsy, rustic decor would provide a distinctly masculine feel to the bathroom. Look for pine cabinets and accessories to create a natural, earthy tone. Colors like hunter green or burgundy would lend themselves nicely to wall paint while tying in the outdoorsy theme.

A deep, red plaid shower curtain would compliMent the decor while providing a convenient way to tie in the various colors throughout the room. Solid towel colors and window curtains would enhance the bathroom while bringing in the masculine colors. Look to the woods and mountains for inspiration for a masculine outdoor decor bathroom.
