Whether you’re building a new house or simply planning to renovate, the shower area is a spot you shouldn’t neglect. While most people stick to standard bathroom construction, it’s possible to be more adventurous in creating your next shower area.

There are plenty of beautiful and unique designs out there, you just have to know where to look for inspiration. Start here at Homify. Here are our picks for the coolest shower ideas that can make bathtime much more interesting.

1. Shower with stone wall

Natural stones create a unique shower wall, adding an elegant yet natural atmosphere to the ensuite. A rainforest shower head is placed in the center of the glass enclosed area.

2. Fancy lighting

Just like in any room, lighting plays a significant part in creating a beautiful ambiance in the bathroom. Here, the floor and walls encased in brown marble. Lilac overhead lighting complement the neutral hues, while various light fixtures highlight features such as the mirror over the counter. Reach out to our lighting professionals to find the lighting techniques that will suit your shower design.

3. Glass house-inspired showers

The designer of this stunning all-white bathroom makes use of glass freely throughout. From the floor-to-ceiling windows to the clear glass showers to twin mirrors hanging over twin sinks, glass is at the heart of the space’s design. There’s even enough room for a lounge area.

4. Smooth natural stone on all sides

Here, the white natural stone with gray marbling exudes tranquility from all angles of the spa-like shower area. Instead of being limited to the walls or even just the flooring, the pretty cladding is on all sides except the ceiling. An integrated bench in the shower area offers a place to sit and relax.

5. Different flooring

Another way to design an eye-catching shower area is to equip it with a different type of flooring than the surrounding space. In a nice contrast to the bright wood floors of the rest of the bathroom, this shower area has natural stone flooring.

6. Extra large shower

There is plenty of space in this featured home, even more so because there are no physical dividers separating the different parts of the bathroom. A tiled wall visually separates the shower area from the rest of the room. 

7. Shower under a sloped ceiling

Every inch of space should be maximized in the interiors of the house, including the bathroom. The limited headspace underneath sloped ceilings need not be wasted. Instead, it can be used for storage space or even shower areas.

8. Shower wall with built-in pockets

Another way to save room: built-in shelves or niches into the shower wall. This limits clutter on the floor or hanging metal baskets in the area. With these niches, residents have a place for toiletries and other small items. Lighting can also be incorporated here.

9. Decoration ideas

Glass, frosted glass and mirrors can make the shower space more interesting.

10. Dark cladding or tiling

Don’t be scared to try out darker colors. As seen in the featured bathroom, dark hues in the shower area can offer an elegant touch to the space, especially when paired with proper lighting and modern fittings.

11. Ceramics

Large ceramic tiles make an imposing statement in this shower. Tones of brown stand out exceptionally on the walls. More than just beautiful, ceramic materials are known to be durable and low-maintenance.

12. Walk-in shower

Walk-in showers have become the norm in modern homes because of its attractive and easy-flow design.

13. Round shower

A curved encasement is another possibility for shower areas, either to save space or as a design feature.

14. Flashy tiles

15. Modern concrete look

To achieve the industrial look, opt for bare concrete walls in the shower. It’s an exciting contrast to the bright wood and pristine porcelain.

16. Bright accents

Bathrooms are usually limited to neutral colors, but a pop of color used tastefully can take the modern design to the next level. Pick an eye-catching color to use an accent throughout the room.

17. Colorful shower wall

Also an option is covering an entire wall in an eye-popping hue like this red shower wall that’s a great contrast to the black flooring and white walls.

18. Mosaic shower wall

Another way to spruce up a plain shower area is to create a mosaic-style tiled wall. In the featured home, the hues of the tiles complement the wooden furnishings. 

19. Corner shower

Clever design means all of the bathroom space should have a functional use. Here the shower area is conveniently placed in the corner and an extra pocket of space is used for a bench.

20. Floor-level shower

Floor-level showers are a growing trend in interior design. It’s more affordable than a traditional shower, plus it offers a more spacious design and easy maintenance.

21. Tiling techniques

Play around with tile designs to create your own look. In this shower area, a narrow strip of darker tiles make a great contrast to the white tiles.

22. More tile ideas

While the wall and floor tiles are all in varying shades of brown, the different sizes in different areas of the bathroom keeps the design dynamic. For bigger bathrooms, this fresh and inventive take on tiling can be a good design option.

23. Clever divisions

The open design of the bathroom maximizes the space available, including the pocket under the sloping roof. In this example, the shower area was separated with a ceiling-high wall.

24. Double shower

If you have the space, why not? Set up a double shower, which allows residents to enjoy the shower experience more extensively. Plus, the double feature has symmetrical aesthetic value.

25. Be creative
