Replace the existing wall and floor tile in the shower area. Coordinate tile selection with countertop and backsplash materials. Consider installing an accent wall in the shower area to make it a focal point within the room. Choose textured tile or colorful recycled glass tile and install overhead shower lighting to illuminate this special feature. Also install a built-in niche in the shower wall to provide storage space for toiletries.

Choose a new shower enclosure for the stand-up shower. Frameless shower enclosures look clean and reduce visual clutter. Neo angle showers feature three angled planes and glass and may be purchased as a single unit and installed in a bathroom corner. You can also build a custom shower enclosure using glass blocks.
