Walk-in showers are becoming more and more popular for a host of reasons. For one, they add an element of luxury that can’t be overvalued. Secondly, they look absolutely great in bathrooms both big and small. Thirdly, they’re endlessly practical.

From construction material to lighting, storage and shape, there are many different elements to consider when designing a walk-in shower. To help guide you, and maybe inspire some creativity on the side, we’ve put together a number of walk-in shower ideas for small bathrooms and large bathrooms alike.

The Seamless Entry

We’ve included a few doorless walk-in shower ideas on this list but nothing brings the luxe and the functionality as a seamless floor leading into your walk-in shower with no step, lid or drop. Especially convenient if the shower is doorless, whether your flooring is made of stunning marble or any other material, your shower will feel infused with the rest of the bathroom and make going in and out a comfortable breeze. 

Glass Panelled Walls

Most walk-in showers need some sort of door, partition or wall even if they are doorless on the other side. In some bathrooms, you might only have half a wall with the other half exposed. In any case, using large glass panels is an excellent idea. Not only does this allow light to filter throughout the bathroom, it also opens up the space visually. Being able to see through, into and out of your walk-in shower will make you feel like you’re washing up in a space multiple times bigger than it necessarily is. 

Non-enclosed Walk-In Shower

This shower idea may not be suitable for all bathrooms but if you can keep your walk-in shower completely unenclosed, you’ll be taking minimalist seamlessness to a whole new level. Of course, you might want to include a small raised step to stop the water from getting everywhere, but larger bathrooms may not even need this. By limiting the separation between your bathroom and the shower you’ll be maximising the openness of the space as well as the potential for further style design. 

Arched Walk-In Shower

This walk-in shower idea is bold and beautiful. Coupled with a glass door or no door at all, an arched entrance into a walk-in shower is grand, opulent and stunning. You can choose to make the archway out of tiled natural stone or any other material, and choose whether you want it to match or contrast as a feature against the rest of the shower’s walls. 

Spa and Resort Style

What could be nicer than having a spa in your own bathroom? With a walk-in shower, it’s quite easy to achieve the spa style aesthetic. From a rain showerhead (more on that in a moment) to natural materials such as wood and bamboo, there are many ways in which you can bring the luxury of a resort or spa into your home. We’d recommend pairing a spa aesthetic with either a white stone palette along the walls or floors, or a black and white aesthetic. 

Storage Built In: Recessed Wall Shelf

As far as walk-in shower ideas for small bathrooms go, built in storage is among the most practical. There are a lot of items used in a shower: shampoos, soap, body wash, loofah… Forget leaving them on the floor or sitting on an ugly shelf. With a walk-in shower, you want to preserve the spaciousness. A wall shelf recessed into the wall is an excellent way to keep the effect of a walk-in shower while having everything you need right where you need it. 

Built In Shower Seat

Showers are a place where you wash yourself, sure, but they can also be retreats! What allows you to sit back (literally) and relax more than a built-in shower seat. Whether you choose a floating marble seat above the floor or a bold block-style seat is up to you, but this is one walk-in shower idea that we just love to see! Plus, you can always use it as a mini-table for keeping shampoo bottles and soap while you’re in the middle of using them. 

Floating Vanity

It’s not just about what’s in your walk-in shower; consider also what is around your shower. A floating vanity, minimalist in style and sleek in design, will perfectly complement the overall aesthetic of a walk-in. There are plenty of options available, so you can find the size and storage solution that works for you without compromising on style. 

Rainfall Shower Head

There’s a lot of potential when it comes to your shower head but we love a ceiling-mounted rainfall shower head. Not only does this just look a treat, there’s also practical value in how nicely and evenly the shower water rains down on you. While regular showers are limited in what sort of shower heads they can incorporate, your walk-in shower allows you to go for gold. 

 Windows

Good lighting in a bathroom is an essential, but natural light is an absolute win! If your walk-in shower can be installed near a window you’ll benefit from natural light as well as the opportunity to access fresh air and a nice breeze.

An alternative natural light option is to install a skylight above. You’ll be amazed at the wonders this can do to a space. It’ll open up your bathroom and your walk-in shower as well as shine a generous, picturesque glow into the room. 

Natural Stone Tiling

Here at Euro Marble, we make no apology for our unrestrained love of all things natural stone. Whether you choose dark, moody granite slate tiles with a rugged texture or the iconic and opulent look of a light marble, there’s no going wrong with stone in a walk-in shower. There’s even an opportunity to customise the pattern and styling, with subway tiles being a timeless, classic look.
