Cool Off in Style: Summer Bathroom Remodeling Tips for Minnesota Homeowners

Summer in Minnesota is all about lake days, sunshine, and squeezing every bit of fun out of the warm weather while it lasts. But when you come home after a long day outside, there’s nothing better than stepping into a refreshing, spa-like shower. Whether you’re planning a full bathroom remodel or just upgrading your shower space, now is the perfect time to get started—and glass showers are leading the trend for summer 2025.

1. Let the Sunshine In: Natural Light + Glass Showers = Summer Vibes

Frameless glass showers are perfect for brightening up your bathroom and creating a light, airy feel. They let natural sunlight bounce around your space, making even small bathrooms feel open and luxurious. If your bathroom has a window, pairing it with a glass shower enclosure can turn your morning rinse into a peaceful sunlit escape.

Pro Tip: Consider using frosted or textured glass if you want privacy without losing that light.

2. Post-Lake Day Cleanup: Make It Easy

If you’ve ever come home from the cabin or a beach day at Lake Minnetonka, you know the drill—sand, sunscreen, and grass clippings everywhere. A walk-in glass shower with a hand-held sprayer makes cleaning up (yourself and the mess) a breeze.

Upgrade Idea: Add a built-in bench or corner shelf to hold shampoos, scrubs, or your favorite post-swim products.

3. Summer Remodeling = Fewer Delays

Contractors in Minnesota often get booked out fast, but summer weather means fewer delays from snow or freezing temps. If you’ve been putting off a remodel because of winter’s unpredictability, now’s the time to jump in.

Glass Shower Bonus: Glass enclosures can be installed in a single day by most pros—meaning minimal disruption and fast results.

4. Add a Splash of Color (or Keep It Cool)

Summer is the perfect season to bring a little personality into your bathroom. Think cool tones like soft blues, greens, or light neutrals to make your bathroom feel fresh and clean. Glass showers pair well with any palette, so you can go bold with tile or keep it minimalist with matte fixtures and soft lighting.

Minnesota summers are short, but your bathroom can stay cool and comfortable all year round. Whether you’re rinsing off after a backyard BBQ or winding down after a long hike on the North Shore, a sleek glass shower is the upgrade that brings both style and function to your space.
