We’ve included tips on how to make your space look unique, including inspiration for stylish shower shelves, bathroom lighting, shower tiles, wet walls, and complementary bathroom decor to bring the whole look together.
Brush with nature. Why build a simple shower enclosure when you can create a small shower patio? Add a skylight to fill your space with natural daylight and fill it with indoor plants that will thrive in a steamy environment.
The shower area on the open patio includes a bathtub as well. A small tree and ornamental rocks build the appeal of a Japanese zen garden.
Big and responsible. This expansive glass shower space rules the bathroom, dwarfing the bathtub area and decorating around it. The walk-in shower receives bright, lush views from a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a private garden.
room within a room. This bathtub and shower room is so large that it feels like its own room. Huge windows illuminate the spacious enclosure. Just outside the doors, an assortment of wall mirrors reflect sunlight and green views in the back of the bathroom.
Walk in wading. Create a wet area walkway to the tub by installing your shower space directly in front. Here, the bathtub is accessed via an elegant stone staircase.
Fun in the woods. Let climbing plants glide through the painted walls and design a stepping stone path through smaller pebbles to create a jungle-like indoor bathroom experience.
Bath next to the beauty of a cherry blossom tree in a planted shower cabin design. Cover the walls darkly to allow the bright flowers to be the star of the show. Install a black stone bathtub to complete the dramatic ensemble.
Draw attention to a smaller shower space with an eye-catching tiled design. These geometric wall tiles make a great stylistic moment within a simple black and white bathroom decor scheme.
Open the heavens with an elongated core. If you are lucky enough to be surrounded by forests, you will get a great view from the canopy. Clear views offer upscale cloud views and twinkling stars.
Small bathrooms benefit from the openness that a wet room installation brings. By emptying the area with the tank, you can get rid of cumbersome packaging and screens.
color saturation. By using colored concrete over the bathroom walls and floors, you can create a scheme that is rich and striking in color.
Attention center. Shower spaces are usually confined to corners and flat wall spaces, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Build a plume of rain in the heart of the bedroom and dressing room combination for a cool feature.
Instead, the shower holder moves away from the perimeter of the room while confining the plumbing to the floor.
Deluxe double sided design. Join a skylight with a bathroom window for a seamless, wrap-around shower space.
next door neighbor. Glass rooms around the shower space and adjoining toilet form an elegant and streamlined design.
The double heads under a glass layer make visibility for two people.
The shower is inside a well of light that lights up the rest of the bathroom as well.
A traditional over-the-bath shower isn’t the most exclusive option. However, a ceiling-mounted rain shower head over a specially designed concrete bathtub tells a different story.
side view. Behind the glass of this large enclosure, the shower area plays a lesser role than the gravel patio.
Mark a low-level soaking area with a sunken bathtub design.
Another tandem sink design, this time with a double side view of tropical plants. Two steps leading to the bath and shower platform create a sense of celebration and luxury.
discovery journey. Hidden behind a concrete dividing wall, this shower space unfolds along a concrete stone walkway, set over a white gravel lake. Ceiling beams filter sunlight that streams through a wide skylight, causing the light to turn on in the unique room.
Play with the farmers. Transform an open, spacious shower space by bringing in a variety of planters that can be moved around to reinvent the design.
Planted borders and an open window with an outdoor shower blend in with the local habitat. White subway tiles make a crisp white contrast to a black herringbone floor.
A walk in this bathtub is a step outside into the fresh air and sunshine. Climbing plants spill over the concrete shower wall to create a lively and invigorating atmosphere.
Blackout for drama. Dark wall treatments create a dramatic, dark atmosphere that calms the mind at the end of a long busy day. Add grooved texture to the wall beneath recessed spotlights to accentuate points of interest.
Play in challenging room shapes with custom shower screens and windows.
Take advantage of high ceilings by installing a raised staging area for the shower, sink, and even the toilet. Emphasize the arrangement with an eye-catching linear spot unit.
In a minimalist bathroom, it is not what you add, but what you subtract that makes a successful design. The standing shower removes any turbulence from the wall. A tank covered floor eliminates the need for a shower tray or spray screen.
hardly there. There is strength in creating a checkered shower design in order to allow other aspects of the bathroom to take in the spotlight. In this example, the vanity’s central platform is atmospheric lit around its base to create a floating effect while the shower is nearly invisible.
This simple showerhead design allows for an arc-shaped wall divider to hold all the attention.
Create a curvilinear and colorful splendor with a cylindrical shower cubicle and statement tiles.

Place a large bathtub low in the ground to allow the eye to wander directly into your bathing area, especially if it has a view like this.
Ambient lighting makes a big difference in the shower area, especially when paired with synthetic wet walls.
As an atmospheric alternative to ambient lighting in the bathroom, consider a floor-to-ceiling column of backlit shelves.
Risk taking a shower room design in red. It’s not traditional but it definitely stands out from the crowd. Place a red shower shelf on a damp black wall, and don’t shy away from a matching color toilet.
A yellow shower room brings the joy of summer sunshine all year round. Use the accent boldly on the shower fixture, matching yellow faucets, yellow framed shower screen, and elegant vanity unit.
