As the seasons change and the air begins to cool, fall becomes one of the best times of year to plan a bathroom renovation.

1. Lock in Your Renovation Schedule Early
Fall is a popular time for home upgrades, and contractors’ schedules can fill quickly. If you’re considering new shower glass or a full remodel, don’t wait until October to start making calls.
Tips for smart scheduling:
- Book consultations in late summer or early fall
- Leave time for custom orders (especially with glass)
- Consider the delivery time for fixtures, tile, and hardware
- Avoid scheduling during holiday weeks, when work can stall
If you’re working with Alluring Glass, we’ll walk you through your ideal timeline to make sure everything arrives and installs smoothly.
2. Create a Realistic Budget (and Stick to It)
Fall weather is perfect for working indoors, but that doesn’t mean renovation projects should be rushed. A realistic budget sets the tone for everything from material choices to your project’s scope.
Things to consider in your budget:
- Custom glass door or panel (framed, semi-frameless, or frameless)
- Labor and installation fees
- Plumbing or tile work if expanding or redesigning the layout
- Optional features like anti-spot coatings or upgraded hardware
- A buffer of 10–15% for unexpected issues

3. Explore Popular Glass Trends for Fall
Bathroom styles evolve, and autumn is the perfect time to lean into a warm, clean, and minimal look. This year’s most popular glass trends combine function with timeless design.
Top glass trends this fall:
- Frameless glass shower doors: Clean, minimal, and great for smaller spaces
- Matte black or brushed gold hardware: A modern pop without being overpowering
- Textured or frosted glass: Adds privacy and elegance with a softer look
- Walk-in glass panels: Splash panels are trending for their open, European feel
- Custom sizing: Whether your space is small or uniquely shaped, we build to fit
Our expert installers at Alluring Glass help guide homeowners toward styles that complement their space without sacrificing practicality.
4. Think Beyond the Shower
While a custom shower enclosure is often the centerpiece of a bathroom renovation, fall is a good time to look at other upgrades too.
Consider adding:
- A new vanity mirror with custom glass
- Coordinating glass shelving for style and storage
- Fog-free mirror options for chilly mornings
- Replacing old windows or adding privacy glass where needed
These small updates can tie your entire bathroom together and improve daily comfort going into winter.
5. Plan for Comfort—Now and Later
Renovating in the fall isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about making your bathroom more enjoyable as the weather cools. Heated towel racks, better lighting, and proper water sealing all make a difference when temperatures drop.
Fall is also a great time to prep your home for holiday hosting. A fresh bathroom can make a huge impression on visiting guests.
Let Alluring Glass help you make those final touches before the year-end rush.
