Each month, designers share their vision of the ideal end-of-day escape in H&H. For some, the best shower room is smooth with an all-white, glassed-in shower — a quiet place to recharge. Others think showers must be showpieces, and relish experimenting with texture, pattern and shine. We can’t pick just one look, so here are 10 the most showstopping designs from house & Home. Which shower is your idea of perfect?
With its handsome metal frame and built-in marble bench, this huge shower makes a severe statement. designer Nam Dang-Mitchell finished off the ensuite with stylish sconces and a set of full drapes. “It makes a shower room feel a lot more civilized and less scientific — like it’s an extension of the rest of the home,” she explains.

This whimsical family bathroom, created by H&H editor Kai Ethier, gets a dose of high-end from a pair of rain and handheld showerheads. The tiles in the space are a smart high-low mix: timeless ceramic train tile on the walls, a strong marble pattern on the floor.

In this sophisticated principal bath, an extra tall, all-white shower feels just as luxe as the freestanding tub. The cherry blossom photograph adds a touch of soft color to the otherwise white space, and is water-resistant.

“My husband and I understood we desired a white room because nothing feels as bright, clean and calm,” says senior editor Sally Armstrong of her principal bathroom. Wyzwanie? Ensuring it didn’t feel sterile. “I set about adding details that would inject character and color,” she says. A blue ikat-patterned Moroccan tile lends a welcome jolt of life to the space.

Na zaledwie 128 stóp kwadratowych ta prysznic wymagała obliczonego projektu, aby czuć się jasny i przestronny. Wejdź do projektanta Ashleya Botten, który wybrał czystą próżność, bardzo mało wzorowy i modną ciężką parową prysznic. „Szczegóły są bardzo subtelne, ale myślę, że to sprawia, że pokój jest tak spokojny” – mówi.

Projektantka Sam Sacks dostarczył tej rodzinnej kąpieli dawkę jej eklektycznego charakterystycznego stylu z ręcznie nadrukowanymi ślepymi, wyblakłymi stołkami i glam złotych opraw prysznicowych. „Kiedy przez cały dzień rozrywałeś się po młodzieży, jest coś absolutnie boskiego, że możesz oprzeć swoje zużyte kości w wyjątkowym miejscu” – mówi. Nie moglibyśmy się bardziej zgodzić!
