Bright White
All-white everything will leave you feeling 100 percent clean, whether you scrubbed behind your ears or not. A pristine white bathroom is a classic—and timeless—look that can be easily made more colorful with a quick switch of accessories. Here, built-in reclaimed wood shelves keep plenty of towels at the ready.
Bath with a View
If you're planning to build new or remodel your home, incorporate some windows in the bathroom. A walk-in shower with a view is a luxury that very few have. Just make sure to maintain privacy, or at least offer a way for the more demure to feel less exposed.

Built-In Bench
Seating in the shower? A true luxury. It's even better when it's been carefully integrated into the space. In this marble-tiled bathroom, the handheld shower head is strategically placed to allow bathers to rinse while they sit.
Fully Exposed
Thanks to its great light, well-sized window, and glass-enclosed shower, this bathroom feels like an extension of the world beyond. Green subway tiles and earth-toned ceramic flooring reflect the natural setting, making a shower here seem like taking one out of doors.

Around a Column
An intrusive column becomes an asset in this bathroom, where it forms the anchor of a walk-in shower that almost appears to be its own room. A rain shower head, benches, and handheld shower make for a sybaritic bathing experience.

Look to the Sky
Nothing beats the freedom of an outdoor shower—but a skylight directly above your indoor walk-in is not a bad substitute. When you're bleary-eyed in the morning, the sun can help wake you, or you can take a moonlit shower under the stars to unwind after a long day.
