25 Walk-In Shower Ideas for a Zen-Like Feel
We all know how much we adore a standalone tub. But for a lot of us, that just isn’t a possibility.
For anyone who wants to relax and has a walk-in shower, I’ve put together a guide on how to get that Zen feeling. Plus, these ideas are amazing for anyone wanting to boost their bathroom’s calming aesthetic.
1. Modern Mix
I absolutely love to mix things up in a way you wouldn’t expect, and this idea is the perfect combination. You can achieve a super contemporary twist by using two different kinds of tiling.
I think it takes the entire look to the next level without distracting from the main event, which is the walk-in shower. Creating that charm is all about pairing two different colors that feel both contemporary and chic at the same time.
2. Natural Green Marble
Can we talk about green marble? Using it in your shower brings such a fresh touch to the space. I adore the warming effect it has; it almost makes you feel as if you are outdoors.
And here’s a little tip I love: if you want to really lean into that vibe, add a plant or two in the bathroom and let the steam help them grow.
Not many people realize this, but plants are excellent decor in bathrooms since they love the humidity and enchant the area all at once.
3. Sleek & Simple
Sometimes less is truly more. When you’re in doubt, going the minimal route is always a great choice. Even if it is just your walk-in shower that is minimal, keeping it sleek makes so much sense for the room.
I love keeping the shower as crisp and clean as possible for that bold touch that embraces the room’s natural feel. The shower doesn’t just disappear, but it is not in your face either. It just feels new and fresh every single time.
4. Warm Brass Accents
I am a HUGE fan of bringing brass into a room for an intricate look. It is all about making the space feel modern. You can bring it to your shower by adding it to the fixtures.
Doing that will add a hint of something that makes the room feel fresh and new. Consider hues of bronze, rose gold, or gold for that perfect sleek approach. This adds a pop of color while still being comfortable with the aesthetic displayed throughout.
5. Dramatic Veining
Tiles are always a winner in my book! They just make sense in any area of the home, making the room feel unique and bringing in color. This makes them perfect for those who want a little something extra that still draws the eye in.
Use a dark-veined marble and let it be the main focus of your bathroom. Not only will it be relaxing, but it makes the area look as sleek and put together as possible.
6. A Pop of Pattern
I really LOVE a bold wallpaper in the bathroom. It works because of how expansive it can make the room feel.
It is all about embracing the space and having that sleek touch. Plus, if the rest of your bathroom is neutral, you will never feel like you’re missing out on anything.
This ensures the space has a welcoming feel that is modern and put together. To me this is one of the best ways to add personality right where it matters most.
7. Timeless Black & White
What could be more classic than using the hues black and white? These two shades are as relaxing as it gets. You can bring in a traditional, classic touch by keeping the whole room in the black and white color palette but with an intricate touch.
The intricate touch is having double showerheads. I think this is such a great idea. Having two showerheads lets you shower with someone else without feeling cluttered or fighting over who needs the hot water first.
8. Garden Vibes
What better way to bring a Zen approach than to add a natural feel? You can do so by bringing in a garden-infused wallpaper. The more floral touches your wallpaper has, the better.
You want the room to feel completely immersed in a calm spirit. Having this display will not only bring a new worldly effect, but it will also further enhance the room’s natural flow.
9. Colorful Details
Sometimes it is not about complicated details, but more about a unique detail to bring a room to life. With that in mind, use multiple colors inside your shower.
Doing so brings a unique flair while letting you have that Zen space. Work with contrasting hues that will give the room the perfect balance between rich and subtle. Plus, it is refreshing and unexpected.
10. Layered Neutrals
For a peaceful touch, bring in nude hues. Nudes are not only great to have, but they work well with multiple shades and let you bring peace overall.
For a bit of a unique flair, get creative with your neutrals. Getting creative means you can blend multiple neutral shades and give the room that contrasting bit.
