3. Attached Bathtub Walk-In Shower

This attached bathtub is the best of both worlds. If you’ve got the layout, you really can have it all with a full-size bath and attached corner walk-in shower combo. The half glass shower enclosure helps make the space feel bigger and brighter.

8. Matching Mosaic Walk-In Shower

Turn your shower walls into a canvas for self-expression. This walk-in shower showcases a floor-to-ceiling mosaic stripe for dramatic effect. Dark wood accents match the mosaic and create a contrast with the white walls. A slim, matching backsplash above the vanity ties the design ideas together for a polished look.

An accent wall makes any space exciting, so why not try one in your walk-in shower? These dramatic geometric ceramic tiles give your shower a custom look without breaking the bank.

16. Wet Room

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.

17. Walk-In Shower With Natural Light

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.   

18. Dark Blue Walk-In Shower

If you‘re renovating a guest bathroom or converting a half-bath to a full, consider adding a corner shower. The dark blue tiles tie together this small modern bathroom, and the corner shower stall makes the most of a tight space.

19. Mixed Metallics

If curbless or glass enclosures don’t suit your needs, you can still add flair to your walk-in shower with a curtain.

This shower features a rainfall shower head, recessed storage, and a black mosaic border.

This bathroom offers much more than a stunning color palette with stacked subway tiles in shades of white, pink, and purple. Bay windows, an inset shower stall, and recessed lighting all contribute to a spacious feeling. Matching porcelain tiles seamlessly blends the walls with the bathroom floor. A heated towel rack is the perfect finishing touch, creating a homey vibe.
