As one of our homes' most frequently used areas, our shower space demands due attention. There is an abundance of designs to suit bathrooms large and small, and everything in between. Shower subcategories include walk-in designs, entirely open showers, freestanding fixtures, bathtub and shower enclosure combos, and more. To help you source your ideal look, we’ve put together a varied selection of shower space ideas that are fresh and fashionable. We’ve included tips on how to make your space look unique, including inspiration for stylish shower shelves, bathroom lighting, shower tiles and wet walls, and complementary bathroom decor to bring the whole look together.
A brush with nature. Why build a simple shower enclosure when you can create a mini courtyard to shower in? Add a skylight to fill your space with natural daylight and fill with indoor plants that will flourish in the light and steamy environment. 
This open courtyard shower space includes the bathtub too. A small tree and ornamental rocks build a Japanese zen garden appeal. 
Large and in charge. This wide, glass shower space commands the bathroom and dwarfs the bathtub and vanity areas around it. The shower enclosure receives light and lush views from a floor-to-ceiling window that looks out upon a private garden. Large bathrooms could copy this for great effect. 
A room within a room. This bathtub and shower chamber is so large that it appears like a room all of its own. Massive windows light up the spacious enclosure. Just outside of the doors, an assortment of wall mirrors reflect the sunlight and green views into the back of the bathroom. 
Walk in and wade. Create a wet zone walkway to the tub by installing your shower space directly in front. Here, the bathtub is accessed via an elegant stone step. 
Frolic in the forest. Let climbing plants go wild across rendered walls and fashion a pathway of stepping stones across smaller pebbles to create a forest-like ensuite bathroom experience. 
Bathe beside the beauty of a cherry blossom tree with a planted walk-in shower design. Clad the walls darkly to let the bright blossom be the star of the show. Install a black stone bathtub to complete the dramatic ensemble. 
Draw attention to a smaller shower space with an eye-catching tile design. These geometric wall tiles fashion a cool stylistic moment within a minimalist black and white bathroom decor scheme. To optimize the limited space, the small bathroom vanity has been arranged to maximize its vertical footprint. 
Open up the heavens with an elongated skylight. If you’re lucky enough to be surrounded by woodland, you’ll receive a glorious view of the canopy. Clear views offer uplifting cloudscapes and twinkling stars. 
Smaller bathrooms benefit from the openness that a wet room installation brings. By tanking the area, you can do away with cumbersome enclosures and screens. 
Saturate with color. By using tinted concrete over bathroom walls and floors you can create a rich and striking color-blocked scheme. 
The center of attention. Shower spaces are typically confined to corners and flat wall expanses, but it doesn’t need to be the case. Construct a column of rainfall at the heart of a bedroom and dressing room combo to achieve a fabulous feature. 
Alternatively, a shower stand breaks free of the room perimeter whilst confining the plumbing to the floor. 
Design a deluxe dual aspect. Join a skylight with the bathroom window to attain a seamless, wraparound shower space vista. 
Next-door neighbors. Glazed chambers formed around the shower space and an adjacent toilet create a sleek, streamlined layout. 
Twin heads under a glass tier-fall make a view for two. 
Shower inside of a light well that illuminates the rest of the bathroom too. 
A traditional over-bath shower is not the most unique option. However, a ceiling-mounted rainfall shower head over a custom-built cement bathtub tells a different story. 
The sideshow. Behind the glass of this large enclosure, the shower area plays a lesser role than a pebble-lined courtyard. 
Tag on a low-key soaking area with a sunken bathtub design. 
Another tandem sunken tub design, this time with a dual aspect view of tropical plants. Two steps leading up to the bath and shower platform build a sense of ceremony and grandeur. 
A journey of discovery. Hidden behind a concrete dividing wall, this shower space unfolds along a pathway of cement stepping stones, laid upon a lake of white pebbles. Ceiling beams filter the sunlight that streams through a wide skylight, causing light play in the unique chamber. 
Play around with planters. Transform an open and spacious shower space by bringing in an assortment of planters that can be moved around to reinvent the layout. 
Planted borders and an open skylight merge an outdoor shower with the local habitat. White subway tiles make crisp white contrast against a black herringbone floor. 
Walking into this shower enclosure is a step outside into the fresh air and sunshine. Climbing plants spill over the concrete shower wall to create a vibrant and invigorating atmosphere. 
Darken down for drama. Dark wall treatments create a darkly dramatic atmosphere that quiets the mind at the end of a long busy day. Add fluted wall texture beneath recessed spotlights to highlight points of interest. 
Play into challenging room shapes with custom-cut shower screens and windows. 
Take advantage of high ceilings by installing an elevated staging area for the shower, tub, and even the toilet. Underline the arrangement with a striking linear vanity unit.
