22 Beautiful Bathroom Shower Ideas for Every Style

Carry statement tile into the shower for a bold impact. In this bathroom, colorful cement tiles stretch across the floor, halfway up the walls, and into the shower to tie the space together. Brass fixtures add sparkle to the glass shower door and interior subway tiles.

Classic subway tiles combine with antique-inspired fixtures and black metal accents to give this shower an industrial look. Black grout lines give the tiled walls a modern punch that pairs nicely with the shower's black-framed glass door. The sleek tiles contrast beautifully with a wood-paneled ceiling and slate floor tiles.

Soft colors and a spacious glass shower give this bathroom a bright, clean appearance. The glass enclosure ensures the bathroom feels airy while allowing light from the window to reach the shower. Watery blue hues on the vanity, rug, and other accessories provide a peaceful, ocean-inspired color palette.

With an opening in the corner instead of a door, this glass shower invites you to walk right in. A rain-style showerhead sprays water directly downward, helping to keep droplets contained within the shower. A built-in bench adds spa-like luxury while a pebble-stone floor provides a nod to nature.

A thick marble slab serves as an elegant built-in bench for this walk-in shower. Large rectangular tiles repeat the subtly veined marble across the walls, while small-format floor tiles provide extra grip when wet. A recessed niche offers storage for bath products.

A separate shower and bathtub can add luxury and convenience, especially in bathrooms shared by more than one person. Consider combining these distinct areas into a single wall unit for a seamless look. Here, a spacious shower shares a half-wall with the tub, which eliminates an awkward gap between the two bathing spaces and complements the bath's clean-lined style.

Incorporate windows into your shower design to welcome in natural light and create a more open feeling. To maintain privacy, have the windows installed above shoulder height or choose etched glass panes to obscure the view. Here, a frosted glass window brightens up a small walk-in shower without sacrificing modesty.

Walk-in shower designs often lack the storage options that come along with tub/shower combos. To boost storage, consider adding a built-in niche to keep shampoo and soap within easy reach. For a simple, budget-friendly solution, move a small stool or bench into the shower to provide a handy seat and storage.

Add personality to your basic builder bath without having to tear out the whole tub or shower. Simple updates like a new shower curtain and tile can make a huge difference. In this bath, lime-green subway tile that extends from floor to ceiling and a large-print shower curtain add bold personality to a small space.

Partial walls around this shower offer a welcome sense of enclosure, while glass panels above the walls ensure the shower feels light and airy. Narrow, neutral-colored tiles line the back wall with textural contrast. A teak bench and corner shelf add practical storage.

Combine natural materials and warm neutral colors to turn your shower into a soothing retreat. In this bathroom, textural interest comes from the large-format stone wall tiles, bamboo floating vanity, and earth-toned mosaic tiles that cover the back wall of the shower. The glass shower doors ensure the focal-point tile is always within view.

This walk-in shower offers plenty of room for two, with a pair of rain-style showerheads at opposite ends of the 5x10-foot space. Glass panels keep the look open and airy and allow light from the windows to reach the rest of the bath. Solid-surfacing waterproof frames protect windows from moisture.

Etched glass can add both function and beauty to a modern shower design. Here, a satin-etched glass panel between the shower and bathtub provides privacy without blocking natural light. A curbless shower entry enhances accessibility and creates a smooth transition between the shower and surrounding bath. Limestone flooring is used throughout the room for an elegant, natural look, but smaller tiles are used in the shower area for better traction.

An arched entryway enhances the old-world appeal of this shower enclosure. Inside the shower, a mix of gold Calacatta marble, French limestone, and white granite tile beautifully showcases the natural patterns. The combination of neutral colors and textures provides an elegant backdrop for bathing.

Corner showers can be a great way to make the most of the space in a small bath. This compact walk-in shower adds vintage charm to a new bathroom, thanks to subway tiles with dark grout lines on the walls and hexagonal mosaic tile on the floor. A partial wall enclosure subtly separates the shower from the adjacent vanity area.

Make a design statement with shower tile ideas that add eye-catching color or interesting texture. In this bath, a custom blend of clear glass tile, opaque glass tile, and Carrara marble tile brings shades of white, gray, and blue to the shower floor. The floor's unique pattern complements the aqua wall tiles and adds a lively pattern underfoot. Two showerheads and a corner bench ensure the shower is as practical as it is stylish.

Frameless showers showcase tile work and add spaciousness to a bath. They can bring a contemporary edge to the room and help even small baths live large. This frameless enclosure shows off the shower's classic tile treatments: white subway tile on the walls and black-and-white mosaic tile on the floor.

Positioning the shower under a sloping roofline of a dormer or pitched roof can create a dramatic focal point and make good use of existing space. This spacious shower includes multiple showerheads and a pleasing mix of white, gray, and black tile that remains visible behind glass doors. The pared-down color scheme helps the small bathroom appear larger.

Tile can transform a basic shower into a design focal point. Here, neutral glass tiles add subtle shimmer behind the glass doors of a frameless enclosure. The narrow bars of tile surround both the shower and tub with an iridescent surface that complements the bath's sand-tone travertine floor.

A skylight over this tiled shower provides abundant light and views of the nearby ocean, making it feel almost like showering outside. Set into the home's steep roofline, the bottom of the operable skylight is placed at roughly shoulder height to maintain privacy. Floor tiles mimic the sand tones of the beach, and subway tiles on the walls and ceiling reference the teal hue of the ocean.

This elegant shower design features a 36-inch wide doorway that can accommodate a chair and a wall-mounted grab bar for extra stability. (For an even more accessible option, consider a barrier-free design without a step.) Inside the shower, 1 ½-inch floor tiles feature more grout lines than large-scale tiles to provide more traction and help prevent falls. Shower controls are also placed at an easy-to-reach height.

For a standout shower, mix and match tile in various sizes, materials, and colors. Beautiful shower tile designs are even more impactful when combined with glass doors that allow the tile to be seen from anywhere in the bath. This shower includes two frames of dark tiles around the showerhead and on the floor, which stand out from the surrounding stone tiles and attract the eye.
