First of all, functionality
A shower enclosure in a small bathroom should be practical and adapted to the specific needs of the users. So pay most attention to the way the door opens. Cabins with sliding doors save space by eliminating the need for additional space for opening the wing.
- For small bathrooms, ergonomics is a priority. Models with sliding doors or folding panels allow optimal use of available space, without sacrificing aesthetics and durability, explains Hanna Blaszak, Radaway expert.

Maximize the use of space
In a small bathroom it is important to make efficient use of every bit of space. Therefore, it is worth choosing a shower model that best fits our interior. One of them is a corner shower enclosure. It allows you to maximize the use of the corner of the bathroom, which is of great importance in a smaller area. Another interesting solution are walk-in models. The open design not only saves space, but also eliminates the feeling of being cramped. On the market there are also cabins with two-wing folding doors. This way, when the shower is not in use, you can fold it and get more space. If, on the other hand, your bathroom is in an attic, has a low partition wall, or the shower is located close to a window, consider a custom cabin.

Opt for minimalism
In the case of small bathrooms, "less is more". To furnish such a space, therefore , minimalism will work best. With a simple arrangement focused on functionality, you will easily organize the room and find room for a small number of fixtures. Simple forms, bright colors and economy in decorations will optically enlarge the space.
- In small bathrooms it is crucial to avoid visually heavy elements. Shower enclosures with profiles kept to a minimum introduce lightness and harmony, making the bathroom appear more spacious, the expert stresses.

Materials and finishing
Another element that can give the illusion of a larger space is a shower enclosure with highly transparent glass.
- In small bathrooms, the transparency of glass works wonders - it allows you to optically blur the boundaries between the shower area and the rest of the bathroom. In this way, the interior seems more spacious, and the whole space retains lightness and elegance," says Hanna Blaszak.

- Black in the bathroom is a timeless trend. Minimalist forms combined with black accents give the bathroom a modern and stylish look, which will always be in line with current interior trends, the Radaway expert points out.
