Looking for master bathroom shower ideas that go beyond plain white walls? Think deep green tile, gold-tone fixtures and little shelves with their own lighting.
These spaces give you plenty to work with, whether you like a simple glass enclosure or a shower with a dramatic arched entrance.
You can keep the colors quiet or go all out with a glossy orange wall. Start with the details you love, then talk through the layout with your bathroom designer.
Shower designs worth saving
black trim and tiny hexagons
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous glass enclosure. I love the thin black edges against the pale veined walls.
The little white hexagons on the shower floor are just as pretty.
If you want to follow this look, pair black shower fixtures with a matching rectangular door handle.
beige tile and gold details
How pretty is this beige and gold combination? The upright rectangular tiles have slightly different shades, so the walls don't look like one flat color.
Keep your fixtures in a similar gold tone if you want this same simple look. The round showerhead is a lovely finishing touch.
an open entrance and tall divider
Don’t want a glass door? This open shower gives you a different layout to discuss with your designer.
A tall divider separates it from the vanity, with a long recessed shelf across the back.

I especially love how the beige coloring continues over the walls and floor.
dark tile and a corner bench
If you are looking for something darker, this one is for you. Long charcoal tiles cover the walls and ceiling, with a speckled bench tucked into the corner.
The small rounded shapes across the floor are my favorite detail. There’s plenty to look at without adding another color.
oversized rainfall and glowing niches
Okay, that square showerhead definitely deserves a closer look! The dark walls and gold-tone fixtures make this shower feel dramatic before you even notice the little illuminated niches.
For a smaller nod to this design, ask about adding lighting to your shower storage rather than copying the whole setup.
two shelves with a little glow
I am obsessed with these stacked niches. The lighting along the top of each one looks so pretty against the pale walls and their long diagonal veins.
A large round showerhead and slim gold-tone glass trim finish the look. I’d keep the surrounding colors just as simple.
black grids and white tile
If you love a black-and-white bathroom, save this one. The grid-style enclosure looks gorgeous with white subway tile and matching black shower fixtures.

There’s also a bench tucked along the right wall. Keep that detail in mind when planning more than just the tile.
deep green from floor to ceiling
This green shower may just be one of my favorites here. I love the mottled walls and the little patterned tiles underfoot.
Even the ceiling carries that deep green color.
The gold-tone showerhead is worth a closer look too. Its flared shape is such a pretty change from a flat round head.
a bench beneath the skylight
Who wouldn’t want to look up at that skylight? It sits over a shower with gray tiles, rusty-colored markings and a bench stretching across the back.
If your room has a sloped ceiling, bring this image to your designer as inspiration. The window above is the detail I’d ask about first.
a tub behind the shower
Can’t decide between a tub and a shower? This layout brings both into one glass-screened area, with two showerheads in front of the white tub.
I love the dark, uneven-looking wall behind it. The rounded floor pattern gives you another detail to save from this room.

double showerheads and patterned floors
How cute is this little stool beneath the shower niches? The white towel and small accessories make it a sweet styling detail.
Two gold-tone showerheads sit above pale rectangular wall tiles. If you want something extra without colorful walls, try a geometric floor pattern like this one.
pale herringbone walls
I love this herringbone tile with the slim gold-tone shower frame. The slight changes between cream and beige make the pattern so pretty.
You don’t have to stop the pattern at the shower either. Here, it continues behind the vanity mirrors to bring the two areas together.
a high window and recessed shelf
This shower is still under construction, but there are details worth saving already. A narrow high window sits above large pale wall tiles, with a tall recessed niche on the left.
Use this one for layout inspiration rather than a finished color scheme. The floor, entrance and fittings aren’t complete yet.
a bright tub-and-shower enclosure
Here is another way to bring a tub and shower together. This time, gold-tone shower fixtures sit on opposite sides of the enclosure, with a white tub against the streaked tan back wall.
I am in love with that strip of sunlight across the room. The high horizontal window is a lovely part of this layout.
cream walls and a gold shower rail
Don’t want to go overboard with patterns? No problem! Try this pale cream look with softly veined walls and a gold-tone shower rail.
The lighting along the ceiling edge is my favorite part. A recessed shelf on the right keeps the bottle storage out of the center of the wall.
white tile and silver-tone fixtures
If you are looking for something simple, this one is for you. White rectangular wall tiles, tiny floor tiles and silver-tone fixtures keep the shower understated.
I love the narrow dark stripe near the bottom of the walls. It’s a small detail worth borrowing if you don’t want a whole contrasting wall.
a ribbed screen beside the tub
This image is more about the bath divider than a visible shower setup, but that ribbed screen is too pretty to skip. Its slim gold-tone border sits beside a floating vanity and a white tub.
If you like it for your shower plans, ask your designer about a suitable ribbed enclosure. Treat this as screen inspiration rather than a complete shower layout.
glossy orange and black fixtures
The color lovers are going to want a closer look at this one! Glossy orange tiles run vertically behind the clear shower screen, with black fixtures on the right.
I’d keep the surrounding walls pale, just like this room. That orange already gives you plenty to work with.
white subway tile with dark lines
Don’t want colored tile but still want a clear pattern? This close-up shows how much dark grout changes plain white subway tile.
The black handheld shower and round control match those dark lines. There’s no need for an extra accent color if you love this simple combination.
an arched entrance and long niche
Last but definitely not least, we have this gorgeous arched shower. I am obsessed with the long illuminated niche!
Its bold dark veining also appears on the bench to the right.
The small muted wall tiles let those details stand out. Save this one if an arched opening is on your bathroom wish list.
