Transform Your Bathroom with These Must-Have Shower Upgrades
Converting your tub into a shower is the perfect opportunity to rethink your bathroom. Beyond making the space more modern, you can add features that make your daily routine easier, safer, and more enjoyable. Here are some of the best upgrades to consider during your tub-to-shower conversion.
Built-In Shower Niches
Say goodbye to clunky shower caddies. Built-in wall niches provide sleek storage for your shampoo, conditioner, and soap. A built-in niche gives you:
- Convenient storage right at eye level.
- A clean, modern look that blends with your tile.
- Custom options—size, placement, and design that fit your needs.
Rainfall Showerheads
Bring the spa to your home with a rainfall showerhead. Positioned overhead, it provides even water coverage that feels luxurious and refreshing.
- Deliver even water coverage for a refreshing full-body rinse.
- Feel luxurious and turn daily showers into a relaxing escape.
- Add style—rainfall heads are a popular modern feature that buyers love.
Handheld Showerheads
Handheld showerheads are one of the most practical upgrades you can add.
- Make cleaning easier since you can rinse every corner of the shower.
- Help with family needs, whether it’s bathing kids or pets.
- Add flexibility by pairing with a rainfall head for two options in one shower.
Glass Shower Doors
Clear glass doors open up your bathroom, making it feel larger and more modern. Frameless options are especially popular for a clean, contemporary look.
- Make small bathrooms feel larger with an open, airy look.
- Add value with a sleek, modern style.
- Contain water better than a curtain, reducing leaks and mess.
Bench Seating
A built-in bench adds comfort and convenience, especially for those who prefer to sit while showering or need extra support. It’s also handy for shaving and washing.
- Adds safety for those who need to sit while showering.
- Offers convenience for shaving, scrubbing, or just relaxing.

Grab Bars for Safety
Stylish grab bars can be installed without compromising design. They provide security for anyone concerned about balance and make the shower safer for older adults.
- Provide stability for older adults or anyone with mobility concerns.
- Prevent slips and falls, especially in wet conditions.
- It can double as a towel bar, blending into your design.
Modern Tile Designs
Tile is one of the best ways to add personality to your new shower. Subway tiles, bold patterns, or textured stone can completely personalize your new bathroom.
