5. Their durability will stand the test of time. With fewer fittings involved in their design than in standard enclosures, walk-in showers are a robust feature that will stand up to years of usage and plenty of wear and tear. No more replacing hinges or door seals that have worn out; a walk-in shower will keep its good looks for a long time.
You’ll get a designer look that adds value. The sleek lines and minimal styling of walk-in showers gives them a high-end, luxe look that will boost any bathroom’s style credentials. It’s well known that buyers consider the kitchen and bathroom to be game-changers when it comes to purchasing a house, so installing a walk-in shower is sure to create a stunning feature that will help make your home memorable if you decide to sell.
There are practical advantages. A huge benefit that a walk-in shower has over a traditional enclosure is that it’s much easier to use. Thanks to the doorless and step-free design, walk-in showers are ideal for people with less mobility, such as the elderly and young children, who struggle to lift their leg over a bath or to keep their balance. And with extra space for showering, two or more kids can be washed at once, easing the morning or bedtime routine. Double showers can also be fitted inside the wet area for dual showering, which will add a five-star touch.
walk-in shower can help with both. Removing the need for a bulky cubicle means you don’t have to account for the space taken up by shower doors or high trays. This is particularly helpful in rooms that are narrow or have low ceilings. A walk-in shower with a wet-room-style floor also offers more flexibility when it comes to planning your layout, as there is no fixed tray size and it can be fitted into awkward spaces.
The porcelain tile used for the floor and shower surround mimics the look of Calacatta marble. The porcelain is more durable than marble and less likely to stain. “Because porcelain is manufactured, we could align the veins in a zigzag pattern that would’ve been nearly impossible to create with real marble,” Thiel says.

4. Simple and serene. Calm and uncluttered, this blissful Zen-inspired bath zone sets the scene for rest and relaxation. Neutral-toned walls add warmth and an inviting ambience, while the bath, vanity and scattered accessories in crisp white, as well as high-shine chrome fixtures, lift the look. A large window that provides an abundance of natural light sits high on the wall, so you can admire the view as you stand under the relaxing rain shower. A carved wooden plaque, decorative display of branches and bed of loose river pebbles that frames the tub complete the look.

Cantilevered vanities. Vanities mounted to the wall free up floor space and make a room feel bigger. Note the way they let more of the large-format tile cover the floor of this room; had the vanity on the right extended to the floor, the scale would not have been as successful.
Vintage-modern mix. Also popular were nostalgic vintage touches like pedestal sinks, subway tile and even wood toilet seats, though homeowners balanced them with elements such as clean lines and frameless clear shower enclosures. Engineered oak floors enhanced the look.
Millette liked that the U-shaped kitchen allowed him ample storage without the need for upper cabinets. After removing the dropped ceiling to expose the wood beams and open up the small kitchen, he didn’t want something stacked vertically. So he placed the washer and dryer side by side at the edge of the kitchen — near those plumbing lines — and then encased them so they would be hidden when not in use. Inspiration for a small industrial laundry closet in Montreal with flat-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, wood countertops, white walls and medium tone hardwood floors. — Houzz
6. Create continuity with tile. Continuous light-colored tile from floor to ceiling makes the room look bigger.
. Open up the view. Obviously, this is a very dramatic example, but even a small window in your shower stall or next to the tub will let you relax and look outdoors while rinsing or soaking.
Let natural light in. If your bathroom's location means opening up the view would turn you into an exhibitionist, choose glass that lets in the light but disappoints the peeping Toms.
This square-ish window is like wallpaper with trees and snow. Of course, this sort of thing — clear glass next to a bathtub — can't be done everywhere, but in Sugar Bowl it makes for a beautiful soak.
