If you are starting a bathroom remodeling project, one of the best ways to add a level of luxury is with a walk-in shower.
A walk-in tub or shower can improve your bathroom, no matter what size it is. They are not only sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing, but they are also safer and more practical.
Here are seven walk-in shower designs to give your bathroom a more luxurious appearance.
If you want to make your walk-in shower a relaxing haven, you may want to consider a spa-like shower design.
Spa-styled walk-in showers are typically airy and spacious with natural, rugged textures. They are often partially enclosed by glass panels to provide a small sense of privacy and comfort.
White and gray are a common color palette for this style, though adding some pale greens may also help create a relaxing atmosphere. Pebble floor tiles and slate walls can be used to provide a rugged texture reminiscent of a spa.
If you need to save space, you may want to make the shower area wide and shallow or narrow and long to make the area feel larger and more spacious.
You should position the shower head in the center of the area to enhance this effect. One effective way to do this is to install a rainfall shower head that pours water from the ceiling. This mimicry of rain will make your shower even more relaxing.
If you have the space, add a generously-sized cubicle and a shower seat for extra convenience.
Another option for a relaxing walk-in shower is a beach-inspired style.
Beach-inspired showers typically have a crisp, cool color palette to provide an airier appearance. Blue, green, or teal tile paired with white is a common color scheme for this style. You can also use tan floor tiles to mimic the color of sand.
For an extra level of sophistication, you can use materials like Corian sheets to create the appearance of shiplap paneling.
You can't go wrong with a simple, modern look. The best part is: you don't need a lot of extra space to make it work.
Incorporate a monochrome color palette with a sophisticated finish to improve the aesthetic of your walk-in shower. Pair with matte-black, nickel, or brushed brass shower fixtures to complete the look.
Use glass panels to improve the spaciousness of the room and give your walk-in shower a sleek look.
Natural lighting improves the aesthetic of any room, and this holds true for the bathroom as well.
One way to improve the natural lighting of your walk-in bathroom is to have a wall incorporate a large window—or even a glass door leading to a flat roof—that allows you to enjoy the scenery outside.
However, if privacy is a concern, you can place the window higher up on the wall, use frosted glass, or incorporate a skylight. While you will not get a view, you will get more natural light without compromising your privacy.
Barrier-free walk-in showers have grown in popularity because of their improved accessibility and spacious appearance. This style is perfect if you have a small bathroom space, but still want the elegance of a walk-in shower or bath.
Open walk-in showers not only look luxurious, but are also more practical, as long as they are designed correctly.
Barrier-free showers are completely non-enclosed. While you no longer have to worry about glass walls steaming up, you have to make sure it is designed to sufficiently keep water contained and drained.
To enhance the spaciousness of an open walk-in shower, you can zone the room with tiles.
You can separate the shower area and wet room area with a mosaic or complementary colored tile border. You can also have the tiles in the shower area raised slightly higher than the rest of the room.
While the raised tiles can be a sleek platform, they can also be slanted up to avoid creating a trip hazard.
If you have enough space, you may want to consider installing a two-person walk-in shower.
Double shower heads can fit a variety of walk-in shower designs. No matter what style you prefer, having two shower heads will add an extra level of luxury and sophistication.
You may want to place the shower heads at slightly different levels to accommodate various heights. Plus, the minor asymmetry of the shower heads may add extra aesthetic appeal.
If you want your bathroom to be elegant yet unique, a vintage style may be for you.
Nothing quite adds character to a bathroom like vintage tile and shower fixtures.
Whether you want a Victorian-style bathroom or are going for a more retro look, a blue and white color scheme is a classic look that is still popular today. Many tiles, especially the penny and hexagonal variety, are also adaptable to a variety of eras.
Circular, brass shower heads are also a popular way to achieve a more vintage look. This type of shower fixture can also fit the aesthetic of many different time periods.
There are a wide variety of walk-in shower designs to fit any aesthetic, whether you prefer a classic style or a modern one.
No matter what kind of walk-in shower or tub you choose, it will improve the appearance, comfort, and safety of your bathroom.
