A shower room is a fantastic way to save space in a small bathroom. Removing the bath and building a large shower enclosure will give you plenty of room to move around, making the area look bigger than ever.
Every bathroom idea, no matter how small, can be transformed into a beautiful shower room. Intelligent design will mean you can enjoy a comfortable space the whole family can use – plus, clever storage solutions will create a clutter-free haven, where everyone can move around freely.
Whether you're converting an attic or are fed up with a tightly squeezed in bath, we have all the shower room ideas to help you plan your scheme.
Shower room ideas to inspire
'Over the past few years, more and more people have asked to remove the bath and put in a walk-in shower instead' explains Kerri Asker, Senior Designer at Ripples.
'I think walk-in showers are still the preference over baths due to ease of use and cleaning. The majority of clients ask for walk in showers with fixed heads and level access.'
1. Don't let an attic constrict your design

A loft conversion can be utilised to make extra space for an en-suite shower room. Look to have plumbing put in place to accommodate a shower, sink and toilet to eliminate having to navigate stairs every time you require the bathroom. The sloping ceiling layout lends itself perfectly for a small shower room, all you need is the full height at one end – unlike a bath where you require a full width measurement.
To ensure your wet room idea is water tight the floor needs to have proper measurements put in place, always be sure to seek advice from a professional bathroom fitter.
2. Maximise shower space

Not only shower rooms are a result of limited space, sometimes homeowners might just prefer to dedicate the space for a bigger shower. This room has more than enough space for a bathtub. But if you have a bath elsewhere in the house, sometimes you just want a shower room that's stylish, practical and pretty. And this one definitely ticks all of those boxes.
Using the full width of the room means there's plenty of space to walk into the shower without the need to move any doors or screens.
3. Tile the walls in full

Make a narrow shower room feel more streamlined by choosing to tile the walls from floor to ceiling. This idea is particularly practical in small and narrow shower rooms, with limited ventilation, to reduce the chance of humidity damage to painted walls. Tiled walls in a shower room allow for easier all-over cleaning too. Choose contrasting patterned tiles for the floor to create decorative interest.
4. Think outside the box

Tailor your shower room idea to suit your space. With a wet room floor in place you can break the mould by choosing a shower screen with a unique design, opting for an interesting shape to utilise a corner – rather than conforming to a standard cubed design.
5. Add another classic colour

We all know how popular white metro tiles are, but for those of you who want something a little warmer, grey could be the colour for you. Grey looks great with wood and also lends itself well to colourful accents, such as the yellow here.
In terms of the shower, the key to its success is its position. It's a relatively narrow enclosure, but clever planning means there's a roomy feel to the shower area and therefore also the entire room.
6. Reconfigure the layout

To completely dedicate your shower room to the shower, you almost don't want to be aware of the other elements within the bathroom setting. Reconfiguring your layout by turning conventional design on its head gives you the freedom to place the loo and sink almost completely separate to the shower unit. Introduce a purpose built wall, one that can accommodate waste pipes, to create a zone dedicated entirely to the shower.
Build corner shelves for a smart bathroom storage idea to keep the compact space neat and tidy.
7. Open up the design

Attic bathrooms can be notoriously tricky to fit a shower into because of sloping ceilings and head heights. But there are ways to make it work. Just check out this stunning shower room with wood-effect tiling.
The shower has been mounted as high as possible, and the beam is a feature rather than a hindrance. A sleek screen keeps the space feeling as open as possible.
8. Recreate a spa interior with marble

The natural veining of marble makes for a stunning backdrop to a walk-in shower. Go for a large-scale tile for the best effect and choose varying colours to create a beautiful patchwork.
Using the same tiles from floor to ceiling makes the shower look almost seamless. Here, a small step has been added to accommodate practical drainage, but in fact it only adds to the luxurious feel.
9. Pick a patterned floor

This room shows just how significant an impact your flooring and bathroom tile ideas can have. The pattern adds loads of character to this space and helps to define the shower area, with its plain white shower tray.
Marble wall tiles pick out the grey tones of the flooring, too, and add a luxury feel to the scheme. A full-length mirror at one end is great for reflecting light and making the room feel larger than it is.
10. Sink storage into the walls for ease

Keep your shower room clutter-free with the help of recessed shelves built within the tiled walls. Using this smart storage solution means no need for unsightly storage racks or bottles left on the shower tray to attract a build up of mould. Building shelving under the shower head allows easy access to the products when you need them, without having to step away from the warming downpour.
11. Be in control

By installing the shower controls on the wall opposite the shower head you can make sure the water temperature is just right before you step under it. A wall nook is a far better idea than a shelf too as it doesn't protrude.
12. Incorporate room to dry

The wooden stand in this enclosure provides a convenient space to dry off before stepping out of the shower and the curved glass panel keeps the water in the shower tray. This shower design is an ideal solution for small bathrooms, to ensure you don't make the limited floor area any more slippery than needed.
13. Go for spa style

White metro tiles and fixed glass panels give a simple yet smart look to a shower area. Installing a huge rain shower head will bring a spa-like feel to your morning routine, to get your day off on the right foot.
14. Opt for country classics

Shower rooms are often seen as more modern than country. But this beautiful scheme manages to achieve a country-chic look without compromising on contemporary comforts.
Limestone tiling, plus plenty of wood finishes bring elements of the outdoors inside and create a relaxing space that has nature at its heart.
15. Use every inch of space

Want a cloakroom shower? Consider a wet room design that takes advantage of even the tiniest of spaces. Without any need for a shower screen or shower tray, you will easily be able to squeeze in a shower.
Other clever tricks include a space-saving basin and a recessed shelf that keeps all the potions you need easily to hand. Walnut-effect boarding also makes an interesting departure from ever-popular tiling.
16. Indulge your senses

If you like a steam room, you'll love this gorgeous shower room idea. The built-in marble bench offers the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the benefits of all the steam accumulated after a long wash.
A combination of a rainwater head and handheld fittings mean you have all the showering options you need, plus it makes it easy to keep a large enclosure like this clean.
17. Create a stylish shower en suite
Image credit: Future PLC/ Rachael Smith
This en suite benefits from a generously proportioned shower. But that's not a given in a compact space like this. With the door opening near to the enclosure, many people might assume it's impossible to have a spacious shower.
So this is a great example of what you can do with a relatively small corner. If it won't work facing one way, try pointing your shower in another direction until you get the spacious design you crave.
18. Go for dramatic black
Image credit: Future PLC/ Jamie Mason
Choose striking black tiles for the ultimate contrast to white bathroom fittings. Pick an assortment of sizes and styles, from high gloss to slate effect.
The shower area has been marked out with small rectangular tiles and these have been broken up with larger-format neutral tiles to lighten the space and avoid it looking too 'heavy'.
19. Enhance a narrow room

This is another great example of the good use of a compact space. The shower, loo and basin are all right next to each other, yet this room doesn't feel at all small.
A bath wouldn't fit here, but because the shower enclosure runs from wall to wall, it is far larger than a standard cubicle. Mosaic tiling creates a hotel-style feel and recessed shelves mean there's no need for unsightly storage racks.
20. Mix light and dark

Choose a combination of light and dark tiles for a balanced look in your bathroom. Using black marble tiles on the walls looks fantastic but also offers a happily practical benefit: water stains and limescale will be almost invisible.
If you want to cover a large space, marble-effect tiles made out of porcelain offer a budget-friendly option that looks really realistic.
21. Add a little bling to your shower room

Turn an all-white shower room in to something special with glamorous gold tiles and shower fittings. White is great in a compact room as it makes everything light and spacious, while gold adds an instant warming effect.
As you can see, shower rooms have the potential to be stylish and glamorous spaces. But we have one last piece of wisdom to share – buyers do like there to be at least one bath in a home. Making a shower room best for second bathrooms or en suites. Happy shower room planning!

'Clients are starting to become more eco-conscious when looking at options for bathroom design and shower rooms are the perfect way to reduce water usage in the bathroom' explains Kerri Asker, Senior Designer at Ripples.'There are so many eco-friendly bathroom products available these days, including flow-restricting showers which have been cleverly designed to use less water whilst still offering a pleasurable showering experience.'
Replacing baths with walk-in showers is an ever-increasing trend. Kerri has a theory to explain the rising popularity,'This seems particularly prevalent amongst the older generation because they are thinking of the best ways to future-proof their homes – to ensure they have easy access in the coming years.'
