Choosing the right features for your bathroom can transform it from just another room to a spa-like space in your home. One of the easiest ways to take your bathroom to the next level without a complete remodel is to install a new shower door. Here are a few factors to keep in mind if you’re considering upgrading your shower door.

3 Ways to Decide on the Perfect Shower Door

1. Measure Your Space

Shower DoorsShower doors can be opened in a variety of ways, so to find the right fit you’ll need to measure how much room door will have. If your bathroom is small, you may want to go with sliding glass doors, which need no extra space to open and close. If you’re working with more room and want to break from tradition, consider bi-fold or pivoting shower doors, which swing outwards.

2. Consider Maintenance

Not all shower doors and frames are made equal, with some requiring much more maintenance to keep clean. A sliding glass door takes up no space, but has tracks that collect water, increasing the risk of mold and mildew in your bathroom. A frameless door with a pivoting open takes up more room, but has no tracks. Weigh in your pros and cons and decide what matters most to you.

3. Pick the Right Style

If you’re upgrading your shower door, consider how the new addition will affect the rest of your decor. If your bathroom fixtures are sleek and modern, frameless doors provide clean and seamless appeal that will fit right in. If you’re looking for a more rustic look, a door framed with metal may be the perfect choice for you. If you don’t have the room for the look you want, you can customize your sliding doors by installing frosted, patterned, or painted glass doors.
