11 shower ideas
#1: Keep the pressure on
This is perhaps the most important of any shower, cubicle or not: making sure your fixture provides a steady, powerful flow. Owen, founder of Meredith Owen Interiors, believes that the right shower pressure is a must.
#2: Make the warmth paramount
“It’s really important to consider the comfort of the bathers,” says Bethany Adams Bethany Adams Interiors. “Without a door to keep the warm air in, a walk-in shower can be very noisy.” To retain heat, Adams suggests investing in a bathroom floor heating.
#3: Preheat the shower
If the above isn’t an option, Adams says to consider running the heat in the actual bathrooms. “It depends on the design and materials used,” she says, but there might be a tricky spot under the shower seat that works with the heat.
#4: Consider the placement of controls
Controls should be located near the shower area opening for easy access. Tanya Smith-Sheflett says: Unique kitchens and bathrooms.
#5: Let there be light
If there is a window in the bathroom, take advantage of the light by letting it shine through. Better yet, invest in a mirror to bounce off the light. This will make the shower cabin look more spacious.
No. 6: Choose calm colors
The ideal vibe in a bathroom is transitional, airy, and relaxing. Bring this into your walk-in shower by choosing tile colors that evoke ease, such as blues, greens, grays, and cool whites.

For a more streamlined experience, Smith-Shiflett says to avoid any restrictions. “The homeowner should be able to walk without hindrance,” she says.

Because walk-in showers often lack a ledge to hold products, creating storage accessible via a niche or small shelf is key, says Smith Shiflett.
No. 9: Or an edge
This is another way to carry accessories, says Adams. “A nice clean edge looks elegant and is less expensive to install.”
#10: Give yourself a seat
Adams likes to incorporate a bench in the bathroom, and finish it with the same tile or stone as the rest of the walk-in space.
No. 11: Choose more shower heads
If you really want to hit Spa atmosphereAdd multiple shower heads, including a rain head or body jets, suggests Smith-Shiflett. Adams agrees, adding that this contributes to the overall warmth of the experience.
