Is there anything more luxurious than stepping into a well-designed shower?

Showers are for unwinding and getting in some good ol' fashioned you-time. From beautiful space-savers to unique patterns, we're dreaming of relaxing in one of these stunning options. 

Considering a shower reno inspired by our favourites? Here's everything you need to know to create your best bathroom transformation.

1. Bold and Blue

Rich blue tiles are complemented by black hardware in this walk-in shower. The built-in shelf and bench provide an added ease to the space.

2. Marbled walk-in

Show-stopping marble tiles extend throughout this lakeside bathroom. “Black and white bathrooms can often feel cold, but not with this tile,” she says. “It adds so much warmth, and I’m drawn to the interplay of pattern and scale, which is the reason I extended it up the shower wall and juxtaposed it with narrow tiles on the adjacent walls.”

3. Contrasting tiles

This glass shower takes advantage of every nook and cranny of the ensuite bathroom. We love how the sleek and shiny white subway walls contrast with the round floor tiles.

4. Small space, big style

You don't need a huge space to design a stylish shower. Nestled in a high-rise condo, this walk-in is brought to life by its bold tile pattern and gold fixtures.

5. Spacious and practical

Next to the shower, a bright window illuminates the bathroom. Designer Keeley McCleary chose to incorporate mixed hardware and a black finishes to tie the whole room together.

6. Unique design

Talk about a statement-making design! “The brass-framed shower glass stemmed from a photo I saw in a magazine years ago and it never left my head,” said homeowner Keely Tateossian. “I knew the graphic grid design would just be the ‘chef’s kiss’ that would pull it all together.

7. Geometric dream

Inside the light-filled glass shower in this primary ensuite is a slab-style bench. The chevron wall tile installation echoes the diagonal lines of the herringbone-laid tiles on the shower floor, and while they’re graphically geometric, they have a wavy marble-like veining that suggests the flow of water.

10. Shower room

This walk-in shower room is separate by a sleek pane of glass, with a cozy bathroom situated just behind. To maximize headroom in the slanted room, the designer placed all the fixtures in sequence along the wall with the highest ceiling.
