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.

“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. ¿El reto? 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.
