Taking on a bathroom remodel is well worth it to enhance your daily shower experience—and it can even add value to your house. Big or small, a walk-in shower with a good interior design can make your bathroom feel luxurious and give you a daily spa experience. Many walk-in showers are also more accessible for people with disabilities and injuries, and for older adults. 

You can have it all: Convert a small bathroom, or go all out with the ensuite bathroom design of your dreams. Whether you’re planning on a DIY remodel or you’re bringing in a pro, these striking shower ideas will spark your imagination.

3. Attached Bathtub Walk-In Shower

If you’re ready to fully commit to a walk-in shower, consider trying a wet room. If you do go this route, make sure to hire a pro for proper plumbing and sealant.

This gorgeous bathroom has it all: a curbless shower, a rain shower head, a soaking tub, and a skylight. The perfect mix of river rock and glass mosaic tile gives this wet room an earthy finish.

This unique loft shower makes the most of its top floor local with a skylight to let in the natural light. With a little creativity, you can make an unusual space feel free. If a skylight isn’t an option, a window can serve a similar function. Use frosted glass for privacy and soak up the sunlight.

Color Palette Ideas for Walk-In Showers

Whether your home improvement project is big or small, smart color choices can make all the difference. Mix it up, or stick to the classics.

Match your shower curtain to your lighting fixtures or metallic hardware, and switch up the decor by opening or closing the curtain for a dual look. This shower features a rainfall shower head, recessed storage, and a black mosaic border.
