Decorating Ideas to Make a Glass Shower Door More Private | Home Guides

Image
If many people share a bathroom, making the shower more private is a well-received idea. Glass shower doors are a common design element in many modern bathrooms. The clear doors make the bathroom appear larger, but offer little to no privacy. If it's necessary that two or three people share the bathroom some of the time, this creates a problem. Add some design elements to your bathroom to add privacy to the overexposing glass. Shower Curtain Hang a shower curtain for privacy. It requires minimal effort and allows you to enhance the decor of your bathroom with color and design. Place a spring rod between the shower walls on the inside of the clear shower door . Attach the curtain to the rod with round rings or curtain clips. When you open your shower door, push the curtain to one side to enter the space. If you love the look of the clear glass, the curtain is easily taken down when entertaining guests or when your privacy needs change. Window Clings Add decals or clings to...

Shattered! The danger hanging in your bathroom

Image
I had just finished showering and turned off the water. Soaking wet, I did what millions of Americans do every day -- I reached for my snazzy sliding glass shower door . Seconds later, glass was raining down on me. The door had failed somehow and exploded into a million little pieces. The sound was hideous, something between nails on a chalkboard and a torrential downpour. Only this didn't make me wet, it made me bloody. This was the grisly scene in my bathroom after a shower door exploded on me while I showered. I bled substantially from a wound on my right foot and had to walk on glass to get out. Glass shower doors are a substantial upgrade from old, mold- magnet plastic shower curtains found in many older homes. They look great. They let ambient light into the shower and make the bathroom look larger. If you have fancy tile rimming your tub, they show that off. The aesthetics come with a cost however, as I recently learned the hard way: Glass shower and tub enclosures ca...

Savoring a small kitchen: Design tips for elbow room, easy access (before, after photos)

Like a great recipe, each ingredient matters when designing a workable kitchen. The need to make smart choices multiplies when it's a small kitchen that needs to be efficient and pretty. A smooth work flow , ample storage and every needed thing within reach make the busiest room in the house a pleasure to be in, rather than a chore.

She designs lots of kitchens under 150 square feet, from century-old houses to contemporary dwellings. Recently, Blackwood redesigned a kitchen for a chef who does a lot of baking and teaches cooking classes in her home. An underused area was made into a baking center. In one cabinet, a mixer can be pulled up when needed with a counter space for rolling out pastry.

Hi y'all! It's Lauren from Bless'er House, and I'm so excited to be back sharing another DIY to perk up your basic builder grade .  My inbox has already been flooding with emails begging me to spill the details on this one! In December, I shared my statement- making faux fireplace that completely transformed our living room.  After the New Year, I devised a plan to bring another big statement-making feature into our home, only this time, in our bathroom. factory window " width="410" height="800" />   I had seen these gorgeous industrial style factory window shower doors all over Pinterest recently, and I was instantly smitten for them.  The only problem was those gorgeous doors were very much out of my price range and would require some demo work with professional installation.   So I figured out a way to make the factory window look on my existing builder grade shower door .

Building a shower cubicle

A second shower is a great selling point for your house if not a necessity in a busy household. By all means construct the shower cubicle yourself, but it is safer to hire professionals if you are not competent to install electrical wiring and plumbing. Building a shower cubicle requires some experience in carpentry and tiling. You also need a degree of expertise in wiring and plumbing in order to install a shower unit. The simplest way to screen off a bath shower is to hang a simple waterproof curtain that is long enough to drape inside the bath rim. However, unless you remember to tuck the curtain against the wall each time you take a shower, you always seem to end up spraying the bathroom with water. A rigid shower screen overcomes the problem. There are various screen kits to choose from. Some are designed to shield just the end of the bath where the shower is located. Others enclose the entire bath. To provide access, complete screens have hinged or sliding doors. Hinged scre...
