We love a bright and airy shower, but there’s something to be said for a cosy dark shower like this one by @suszi_saunders. Showering while surrounded by the inky black tile feels like a special escape from the outside world, and the dark background provides a nice contrast to the vintage-inspired brass shower fixture.

Another way to make your shower feel more luxurious is to use a pop of unexpected colour. The pink tile and green walls in this bathroom by @demiliodesign are daring choices.

Paired with the brass details and wood grain vanity, the result is opulent sophistication. But, of course, the star of the show is that blush pink tile in the shower and on the floor.

This shower by @justinplace_sydney proves you can achieve a luxury shower even without a lot of square metreage.

To truly make your shower shine, don’t let the bathroom lighting be an afterthought. This all-white shower by @ggtiledesign is stunning on its own, but the soft glow of the under-bench light takes it to the next level. Use waterproof LED strip lights for a similar look. Install them under a bench or in a niche for relaxing, accent lighting.

Why have one showerhead when you can have two? This beautiful sky blue shower by @the_whitepalms features a wall-mounted head and an overhead rainfall or waterfall showerhead. A rainfall showerhead makes your everyday shower feel like an indulgent spa treatment.
