14 Simply Stunning Bathroom Shower Ideas
1. Retro Mint Tile
Adopt an unconventional color scheme for your new bathroom shower by tiling it floor to ceiling with sweet square mint-colored shower tiles. The finished look is charming, unique, and ever-so-retro.
When in doubt, go with a striking black-and-white color scheme. Choose white wall and floor tile with black grout and complete the look by installing all-black shower hardware. It's sleek and stunning.
Turn your basic shower stall into a high-tech, luxury washroom by installing a shower panel. These panels, located just below the showerhead, can come with water thermostats, high-powered body jets, handheld showerheads, pressure and pulse settings, and a wide range of other features. With a shower panel, your shower experience will be truly out of this world.
Let's face it – you can never go wrong with subway tile. Sleek, simple, and ever-trendy, subway tile can instantly elevate any space. Install it in a white shower (like the one above) for a bright, airy, and finished look, or use it in a more colorful space as a fresh, clean backdrop.
No one said designing a new shower had to be boring. Let your personality shine by decorating your shower with vibrant colors, unique tile patterns and shapes, and statement accessories.
Give your new shower a dynamic new look by using diamond-shaped tiles. Place them together as shown above to create a stunning optical illusion. Contrasting grout emphasizes the mind-bending texture.
Though they are modern in design, walk-in showers can certainly have natural elements that will fit right in with a more down-to-earth bathroom style. The gentle beige wall tile, teak shower mat, and breezy curtain give this shower an earthy, finished look. With the addition of a rainfall showerhead, you'll feel like you're taking a shower in the fresh, outdoor air.
Turn your shower into the focal point of your bathroom by contrasting it with the rest of your space. If your bathroom's walls are white, like they are in the bathroom above, tile your shower with black tiles. Creating stark contrast is a gorgeous way to take your bathroom shower design to the next level.
Give your walk-in shower an upscale twist by installing a framed glass side panel meant to look like a paned window. The impact is edgy and urban – perfect for a modern bathroom.
Turn your freestanding tub into an unconventional shower by installing a shower system and showerhead above it. With this shower setup, you don't need to choose between taking a relaxing soak in the tub or rinsing off under the gentle spray of a showerhead.
Using contrasting colors isn't the only way to add intrigue to your bathroom and shower design. You can also take advantage of contrasting tile shapes. In the above bathroom, the rectangular subway tiles on the shower walls pair beautifully with the hexagonal floor tiles.
Stepping into an all-black shower is an immersive experience. Get the look in your own bathroom by tiling your shower walls with broad black stone tiles. The matte of the stone tiles is impactful but less intense than glossier tile finishes.
Remodeling a bathroom is the perfect opportunity to splurge on new fixtures. If you have the space, treat yourself to a luxurious, floor-to-ceiling all-glass walk-in shower.
If you don't have the space for a separate shower and bathtub, you don't have to make sacrifices – just combine the two! Use an alcove bathtub as the shower base and install both a showerhead and a tub faucet so your shower enclosure can do double duty. Add a frameless shower door and you have the perfect hybrid of a shower and a tub.
