2 Simple Ways To Make Your Glass Shower More Private

Having a glass shower surround can be a convenient way to enclose your shower without having to worry about a curtain. If you like the idea of a glass surround, but you are looking for a little more privacy than the clear glass allows, there are some simple ways to remedy your problem.

Here are two things you can do to make your glass shower more private without sacrificing the sophisticated look of a glass surround.

1. Apply contact paper to the exterior surface of the glass.

Contact paper provides a simple and affordable solution to your glass shower's lack of privacy problem. Since contact paper is translucent, it will give you the privacy you are looking for without completely blocking in your shower. As an added bonus, you can use the contact paper to create a decorative design that will enhance the aesthetic of your bathroom.

Start by cleaning the exterior surface of your shower thoroughly with a streak-free glass cleaner. Use a stencil to cut out your desired design from a sheet of contact paper, and apply the design to the exterior surface of your shower's glass. By putting the contact paper on the outside of your shower, you will prevent water from peeling away the contact paper over time.

Be careful not to touch the surface of the glass with your fingers, as the oil from your skin could compromise the adhesion of the contact paper. Once the design is in place, smooth out any air bubbles and enjoy your new semi-private glass shower surround.

2. Paint a design on your glass surround.

If you don't mind making permanent changes to the glass in your shower's surround, you should consider painting a design on the surface of your shower. Glass paint can be a simple and affordable way to create an artistic element that will also give you the privacy you are looking for.

Invest in some glass paint in your desired color from your local craft store. Once the exterior surface of your shower's surround has been cleaned with a streak-free glass cleaner, you can use blue painter's tape to adhere a stencil to the glass. Use a foam brush to dab the glass paint into place, ensuring that you cover the painted surface evenly.

Drying times for glass paint vary, so consult the manufacturer's directions when letting your stenciled design dry. Once the paint has set, remove the stencil and enjoy the privacy your artistic design can provide.

Making a glass shower door or enclosure seem more private is simple when you use contact paper or glass paint to create a decorative design.
