There are two types of people in the world. Some wake up extra early to take a long, luxurious shower before sitting and enjoying a morning coffee with a book or the morning news. Then, there are those who barely have the time to do a quick head-to-toe rinse after hitting the snooze button for an entire hour. We consider ourselves the latter. Neither is better—simply different—and both deserve just as satisfying of a shower as the next one.
And if we're totally honest, the quality of your shower is not summed up by the quantity of time you spend in there. It's the quality of your setup that matters. To be sure you're getting the elevated experience you deserve, here are 30 shower ideas to apply to your bathroom. Whether you have the budget to completely renovate or just have some spare time on a weekend to refresh your existing design, there's an idea in here for you. And dare we say, you might even be willing to wake up extra early to hop in these stalls.
01 Go All-In On Glass
A glass box positioned in the corner of your bathroom for a stand-up shower is both modern and beautiful. It creates a separation from the rest of the bathroom without feeling claustrophobic or like an obstruction to your layout. Just be sure to keep plenty of window cleaner on hand to keep it water spots and soap scum away.
02 See Red
While we often lust over a clean, shiny, white subway tile, this ruby red version of the classic adds an extra special touch. Tones of pink, red, and burgundy almost mimic the look of brick walls, but with a softer feel. Play up the warm tones with a wooden stool styled with your favorite apothecary and an extra towel for an at-home resort feel.
03 Get Smart With Storage
Shower organizers and shelves can clutter the look of your sleek shower and cheapen your high-end design. A built-in shelf alcove holds all your best body products but also frames them in a way that looks like a gorgeous store display. The all-white tile design makes them pop too, and is it just us, or do they somehow feel better and smell better when they look good on a shelf?
04 Take On Terrazzo
If you love the terrazzo trend as much as the next home décor enthusiast, consider covering your entire bathroom and shower in this trendy material. The gray and black undertones throughout create a modern, yet moody feel that's sure to look cool for years to come. The fluted detailing along the shower wall helps break up the pattern, giving this shower a totally unique look.
05 Reach For The Skylight
A skylight is a plus in any setting, but adding one above your shower is sure to help you get your morning started right every time. You can soak up your vitamin D while your strands soak up your conditioner. Plus, it ensures the lighting is always right to show off that gorgeous tile work.
06 Add Some Greenery
Ever wondered what it would be like to shower every morning in the rainforest? Well, a few potted plants can transport you to a lush treehouse in Belize. Well, not exactly, but it's a great place for your plant babies to thrive and an even better place for you to enjoy them. There's even a stool to relax on the next time you whisper sweet nothings to your monstera.
07 Double Your Showerheads
Ever wanted to feel warm water running down the front and back of your body at the same time? This setup with dual-facing showerheads makes it possible. No more cold sides on icy winter mornings. And if this wasn't inspiring all its own, we also can't help but notice (and be inspired by) the on-trend color palette of tan and black.
08 Try Two-Toned Tile
You usually see shower setups with a single tile installed from floor to ceiling, but this one goes against the grain, boasting a pale blue rectangular tile on the bottom and a white penny mosaic on the top. Think of it as wainscoting, but for your shower. But the best part is, this bathroom design managed to incorporate a third style tile on the floor, without making it feel like too much.
