Precisely Determine Your Bathroom Space

Before you begin jotting down ideas to convert your tub space into a shower, you firstly need to take exact measurement of the bathroom space. Because a vintage tub occupies more space than a shower, you can be assured that you will have plenty of breathing space to work with. However, this verity doesn’t support ignorance for determining the space factor with proper width and height measurements for a shower. Besides making the area squarer in space, you can have the plan for some rectangular space, which will aid is saving some extra wall space.

Find Out Space for the Shower Door

A major issue that can manipulate the assessment of your shower space is the corresponding door attached to it. An off beam door location can turn out to be a hindrance while crossing through to the toilet or while working in other sections of the bathroom. Therefore, a better idea is to utilize a cornered section of the bathroom space and plan its access on the front side of the allotted area. However, if the selected area is quite less for a swinging door, you can always have the shower separated with walls and a curtain door at its access.

Plan the Shower Space with Proper Lighting and Tile Layout

Once, you have decided about the space allotment and door placement, you now need to beautify the section with proper lighting and tile layout. Generally, the plan depends upon the space you choose for your shower and how much of the bathroom area is still left with you. An excellent way to illuminate the shower space is to illuminate the section with not more than two small LED lights. The idea is practical and can be provided for anywhere on the ceiling. For your tile layout, it’s always better that the preparations are done well in advance and determined under the selected light source.

Selecting Essential Fixtures and Fittings

With all the above mentioned ideas, your shower space will certainly be in a great shape, but there are several minor yet important fixtures and fittings needed for completing the project. A wall opposite to the main section of the shower can be brilliantly used for placing shelves to hold your toiletries like shampoos, oils, soaps or other cosmetics. Correspondingly, if the shower space is cornered to a specific section of bathroom, one wall can have a window or ventilator for proper aeration. It’s also important to have a good waterproofing system to avoid any leakages that can flood the bathroom after every time you bath.
