Shower conversions are gaining popularity as a way to modernize an outdated bathroom. Many older homes come equipped with only a tub in tow and lack the convenience of a shower. Not only will installing a modern shower add an edge to your bathroom, but it will enhance accessibility for those who may struggle to use a tub.

Glass shower doors are an excellent option if you’re putting in a shower with gorgeous tile work or other features you’re interested in showing off. Showerheads make for a serious way to modernize, as you might install one of the innovative styles including a rain-style head, or even a digital shower.

In our article The Bathroom of the Future, we discuss digital shower technologies on the market in detail, including models which allow you to connect your phone to the head itself, play music as well as control a set of coloured lights. With the deep integration of technology into almost every aspect of the home, the modern bathroom is becoming one unlike anything we’ve seen before.
