There are so many walk-in shower ideas to help you create a beautiful bathroom. For many, the bathroom is like your little at-home spa where we can enjoy a nice long soak in the tub accompanied by your favourite luxurious bath products, or a long, hot shower.

Walk-in showers have become more popular in recent years due to their easy design process and low maintenance, as well as 57 per cent of Britsadmitting they prefer a shower over a bath. If your bathroom is pretty small, a walk-in shower is also a good way to utilise your bathroom’s space.

Whether your bathroom is large or small or you’re looking for a simple or unique design, we’ve rounded up several walk-in shower ideas from Pinterest to give you a little inspiration for your next bathroom project.

This walk-in shower idea just shows that it doesn’t matter how big or small your bathroom may be, whether it’s a perfect shape or has slanting ceilings, you can still make a walk-in shower work for your space. The design has been kept very simple and its neutral colours make it look fresh and modern.

If you have enough space for a separate bath and walk-in shower, then why not combine the two? Again, it's a great way to make use of your space but in a more contemporary way. The neutral colour combo also makes this bathroom appear bigger.

3. Seated walk-in shower

You may fancy incorporating a seating area within your walk-in shower for those evenings where you really fancy a little extra ‘TLC’. This one has even incorporated a shelf area too, so you’ve got somewhere to store all your favourite lotions and potions.

4. Tiled walk-in shower

Larger and longer tiles are one way you can make your bathroom look bigger. These white ones coupled with the fixed glass panels really help to make this walk-in shower (and overall bathroom) look a lot more spacious.

5. Colourful walk-in shower

Don’t forget you can put your own spin on your walk-in shower and really make it stand out by the colours you choose — just like this pink one.

Alternatively, you may be keen to keep the design of your walk-in shower very simple, like the one above. However, the contrasting tiles on the wall and floor still make it eye-catching.

7. Arched walk-in shower

Another easy way to create an eye-catching walk-in shower is by simply changing the shape of the glass. This curved design gives a quirky but sophisticated.

Don’t forget to think about what type of flooring you’d like, as it’s an easy way to make your walk-in shower stand out. Patterned tiles, like the one above, create an eye-catching shower, especially when they’re paired against neutral walls.

9. Boxy walk-in shower

A lot of walk-in showers are a hybrid between a wet room and a normal shower, but if you want to avoid a load of water on your floor then you may prefer a more enclosed walk-in shower like this one.

10. Double walk-in shower

Just like having two sinks in a bathroom — one each — is now becoming more popular, so is having two showerheads. Albeit, you’ll need a pretty big space to be able to implement this walk-in shower.

11. Storage walk-in shower

You can never have too much storage and this walk-in shower has been cleverly designed to not include extra storage space on the inside of the shower, but on the outside too.

12. Spa-like walk-in shower

Who doesn’t enjoy a spa experience to help you unwind? The marble tiles and elegance of this walk-in shower (along with the added plant) gives us a real ‘spa-like feel’. There’s no denying that we’d all feel a sense of relaxation stepping into this shower after a long day.

13. Big walk-in shower

This walk-in shower is larger than a standard shower and has three different shower heads. It does have a glass door to prevent water from getting onto the wooden floor. If you're keen to mix up floors that don't work well with water (like wood) then a door on your walk-in shower is a good option.

14. Monochrome walk-in shower

Why not try moving away from traditional tile shapes, such as squares and rectangular tiles for your walk-in shower, and opt for something a little different, like the tiles above? The bright blue colour contrasts beautifully against the lighter marble floor, making the shower the standout feature in this bathroom.
